From the article: “About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments.

    Yeah, I agree with everything you said about cars, I probably should have explained the acronym in the first place.

    Expansive but terrible perfectly describes my city’s public transit. The buses run half hourly or hourly, the trains run every 15 minutes, and both are frequently late. My transit tracking app has a notification about delays literally every day.

    My main mode of transportation is an EUC, an electric unicycle. It’s great because it has the beans to keep up on the suburban neighborhood streets I have to deal with, and since it’s completely controlled by balance it’s hands free and feels like an extension of my body.
