Tesla Model 3 electric car under investigation in Australia for possible compliance breach - Drive
  • “Another option available to Tesla is removing the rear-centre seatbelt and re-certifying the Model 3 as a four-seater.”

    Which, if you purchased the vehicle needing or wanting a 5 seater, should make it not fit for purpose under Australian law and require a refund.

  • Those with parents who hold opposite political views than you, how do you go about disagreeing?
  • I ended up going very low contact with my arch-conservative family. Parents, sister and brother are all very right wing and loud about it. I haven’t spoken with my siblings in over a decade and speak to my parents about twice a year.

    It has made my life calmer and more peaceful.

  • What was the dumbest way you ever injured yourself?
  • I’m recovering from a head injury. I got out of bed in the middle of the night, more than half asleep, stood up too fast and passed out. I fell backwards and hit my head on the floor. Gave myself two haematomas and a huge concussion. Missing a couple of weeks memory, don’t remember the ambulance ride.

    Pretty traumatic for my family, but I missed it all.

  • Which is your preferred smartwatch/fitness tracker?
  • I have Withings Scanwatch Horizon. I love the look and the battery life. I average 22 days between recharging. Steps are reasonably accurate, it measures a bit on the low side but this means I do another few hundred steps occasionally to meet my goal. The app is pretty good. I use it to track walks and gym sessions mainly.

  • Network Request Failed Error
  • Refugee here too, so still figuring it out. fmhy is making a comeback and has backups, so nothing is lost. All I did when I figured out vlemmy was dead was make another account on another instance (this one). Lost a couple of posts and a few comments, but nothing I’ll miss.

  • I have been driving for 41 years and I love it. I enjoy my morning commute, my drive home in the evening and getting out on weekends and holidays in the car or on my motorcycle.

    It feels cathartic and meditative.

    None of my family feel the same way and don’t understand why I love it so much. I can’t explain it to people who don’t get it. I’ve tried several times over the years and have just come to accept that it’s my thing.

    Every now and then you come across someone else who gets it, and you barely need to speak about it. The only other thing that makes me feel the same way is long distance target shooting.
