You should turn left.

it's just pointing at the speed you're supposed to be going while you have your phone in your hands.

i'd say it's closer to 105

I recently got a BMW i4 (their electric mid-size sedan). These new cars beep if you start to stray to the next lane without first engaging the turn signal.

My company's Sprinter van goes as far as yanking you back to your lane unless you engage the turn signal first.

Damned tech ruining a good vintage meme.

Seems terrifying to have your car resist your driving

Tesla is the new BMW and nobody's using those buttons.

There’s a Starbucks near me close to a complicated intersection. Without fail every Tesla making a left at the intersection does so directly into the rightmost lane (three lane street) then slams the brakes to turn right into the parking lot for Starbucks, all without a turn signal.

Ugh... I got to try those buttons the other day. Might work in an intersection. Horrible in a roundabout!!! No wonder nobody use them!

Yes, you should be concerned!

I'm pretty sure that's a premium service you pay a monthly fee to access. Definitely does not come standard with a BMW. You'll want to shut it off immediately to not incur extra charges to your BMW account.

It’s not monthly. They bill per blink. A la carte blinkers are so hot right now.

The first 100 blinks per month are included with your subscription. Subsequent blinks are pay-as-you-go. Sign up now and we'll include an additional 30 days of right hand turn signal access, absolutely free. (Taxes and processing fees may still apply. Void where prohibited.)

I hate BMW drivers like many do. For some reason, black cars are always the worst. I told my partner I don't like black, BMW drivers.

I was so confused by her shock, until I realized she thought I was talking about black people.

That's funny, out here my bias is against white pickup trucks, with point modifiers.

  • Lift kit? Add a point.
  • Giant truck bed toolbox? Point.
  • Truck nuts? Like 5 points.
  • Fascist or anti-social bumper stickers like punisher logos or skeletal middle fingers? More points.

It's so pathetically predictable...

Fascist or anti-social bumper stickers like punisher logos

Ain't the punisher from a comic book? What did those damn Americans do this time?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

My dad has a truck bed toolbox, but he's an actual mechanic and there are real tools in there. None of that other stuff, just a Texas Rangers license plate so people can understand why he looks so disappointed all the time.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

that's why Tesla hid them, so their drivers wouldn't accidentally press them
