@ravli@goldi__of I won’t name them again but they only add extra reinforcement where the lab tests hit. Outside those controlled spots the rest folds like wet cardboard.
@NioToday@goldi__of The lab-test cheerleaders still think staged crashes prove real strength. Other cars aced the same soft tests and still came apart outside them. The year on the calendar doesn’t change physics.
Did anyone else notice how an entry-level Benz GLC SUV tore open the parked midsize Mazda SUV like a soda can?
Most people have no clue how big a difference material thickness and metallurgy actually make.
Manhattan: West 204th Street & Sherman Avenue, several people, including a pedestrian, were injured this morning in the Inwood section of Manhattan.
Police said a Corvette was speeding eastbound on Sherman Avenue around 6:30 a.m. when it collided with a Mercedes-Benz near West 204th Street.
The Corvette then struck a 34-year-old pedestrian before coming to a stop near a building. The Mercedes continued into a parked, unoccupied moped.
The driver of the Mercedes fled the scene and remains wanted by police.
The Corvette driver, a passenger, and the pedestrian were all taken to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.
Investigators are looking into whether the vehicles were drag racing before the crash. The Corvette driver has not been charged.
@goldi__of ‘Better than expected’ is a low bar when the expectation started near zero. Most of these manufacturers have only a few years of volume production and almost no independent long-term safety data. Smart buyers will demand real evidence before trusting them.
@ValerieAnne1970 Cabal leaders burned tens of thousands of olive trees in Greece & across Europe to clear land for solar panels, battery storage & wind turbines. Their media pushes climate lies while unelected EU elites force digital currency. These sinister people destroy nature for control!
Most are too fucking blind. Farmers fight on the front lines while the cabal torches real food to force bioengineered synthetic sludge they control. They want dependent livestock not free humans.
@Vivek4real_ Hollywood died forcing woke leftist BS down our throats you fuckwits. Opening scenes of a Black man balls deep in a White woman shoved by design. Industry belongs in the graveyard.
@WallStreetApes Willful ignorance & order follower mentality enabled the surveillance state’s full telematics, video & audio control inside cars under the unchallenged “safety” guise. Privacy is gone forever.
@Mileage_impo Mercedes once designed cars techs could actually service. Now drug addled bean counters bury a basic thermostat in pure engineering idiocy.
@GeorgeJSaliba Skip the 2027. Grab a 2026 BMW while you still can. Next year the nanny camera is mandatory always watching, always on. Once it’s in, there’s no going back.
I really hate to say it but I've got the feeling most people are just going to capitulate and slide into the coming control grid like a new pair of slippers and the ruling class know it.
@LauraLoomer Russia warned pre-2022 against NATO expansion & arming Ukraine. Ignored. This “US drone factory” in a war zone makes strike munitions. Loomer has no clue about Russia’s ignored red lines & security concerns. She should keep her mouth shut.
@EricLDaugh The braindead majority cheering gov grocery stores. This plan is by design. Mom & pop shops die as communists & elites seize total food control. Your kids will be lifelong slaves to their overreach.
