It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Do Teslas come with manual transmissions? Or just automatic transmissions? Regardless, the bigger issue for me isn’t the doing it in traffic element, more, what happens if the touch screen has an error and isn’t recognizing my finger swipes? That’d be cute, not being able to turn my car off because I can’t get it into park/neutral.
Afaik they don’t even have gears, most electric cars don’t actually shift gears
Not that that makes touchscreens any less fucking stupid
And what if you accidentally spill something on it?
Is the car just gonna throw it self into reverse while doing 80 on the highway?
I've seen a video of an old VW Beetle that was converted to electric, it still had a stick shift but the guy just left it in like 3rd gear. Electric engines have instant torque, their power is readily available all the time so gears aren't necessary (i think that's how it works anyway)
Here's a similar video.
Yeah that’s what I thought.
