Average snowfall of 0.1 inches a year in the state, the northern part of the state gets less than 2 inches on average, the place that gets the most snow is Amarillo at 17 inches a year on average.

Last month we got 31 inches over three days over here, I’ve lived in a city where 200 inches a year is normal.

Texas doesn’t know actual winter driving.

Mine is a P3 so maybe the newer generation fixed that!

Yep, winter will be the death of 100% self driving cars, we can “filter out” snowflakes easily, computers can’t.

My Volvo (and I mean, if one brand makes cars made for winter, it’s them) ends up turning adaptive cruise control off in snowstorms because the sensors get completely blocked by snow. Elon never had to drive in conditions where the whole front of your car ends up looking like a snowbank and it shows. Hell you might need to stop by the side of the road to clear your lights in order to continue driving! Try to make a South African living in Texas understand that!

And Volvo went from this:

To this:

Which is quite the change…

The thing the vast majority doesn’t care about and that doesn’t prevent them from buying cars and that you’ll have to live with unless you just keep driving your old car forever?

I wonder if the pump runs at a constant rate instead of pulsing… Imagine playing tricks on people because you’ve got no heartbeat!

Fuck off bootlicker

32% federal, 16% states, that’s 48% coming from taxes, two different government levels, still governmental.

People act like traditional car manufacturers don’t exist anymore even though they all offer EV options…

States + federal government account for closed to 50% of the total spendings, which is still more, per capita, than anywhere else that is paid via taxes and then the other ~50% people end up paying from their pockets either directly or via private insurance.

The end result is still the same, the US spends more than anywhere else per capita and what it spent only covers a minority, the rest is private insurance.

What you quoted doesn’t say what you think it does… That’s governmental spendings and then there’s private spendings over that.

The average person doesn’t give a crap about all the privacy stuff, they care about range, how it drives, the warranty, the options.

People who care about privacy will never win this fight because normies will keep buying the cars.

Because the whole world is tired of people acting like the US is a victim in that and that’s exactly what you did in your original message.

You’re saying that Europe can afford social programs because it doesn’t spend as much as the USA in defense, implying the USA can’t afford those because they’re defending Europe, I’m saying the USA has no excuse not to offer social programs even with their current spendings.

I’m 100% sure that Europe wouldn’t have cut their social programs if their defense budget was higher, it’s a governance choice to let your population eat shit and die and to waste money pretending to help it and that’s the choice the USA made.

Are you though? 🤔

Funny how you’re mostly asking questions that no real human cares about when shopping for car…

Yeah so good luck using that in the middle of the woods

The US government spends more per total capita on healthcare than any country with nationalized healthcare, but in the US it covers less than a third of the population.

The US spends more on defense than anyone but it keeps fucking things up all around the world to justify those spendings.

The US can afford social programs, it decides not to, so give us all a fucking break.
