To be fair, they probably are safer. Even if they cross into a bike lane, sensor reaction time is far superior to any human. At least a couple of times now I've heard ties squealing behind me in a protected bus/bike line from cunts aggressively changing lane into it to get around traffic and only spotting my bike at the last second. I would feel much safer if 100% of cars on the road with me were controlled by software and not meatware.

That's just a good approach to life in general.

I have a misfortune of driving one of these pieces of shit. I needed an accessible minivan and allowed the dealer to convince me Pacifica was as good as Sienna. On paper, it was. Worst fucking car I've ever owned. $60k before $40k conversion. $100k brand new car.

AC that barely works in 40°C heat. Transmission that doesn't shift. Gas mileage that supercars and tanks can compete with. Ride quality of a boat in rough seas. Trunk that randomly decides not to close. Knobs and buttons that get stuck. Fuel hole designed so poorly it takes me 20 minutes to fill up this piece of shit because fuel gun keeps stopping.

This is just shit I remember. List is a long, not even mentioning multiple recalls.

FUCK Stellantis. They should be forced to buy back all the garbage they sold, but instead they'll just get bailed out when they go belly up.

I honestly can't think of any country about which this statement would be more wrong and I've lived in a bunch and been to a lot of them. But like I said in other comments, I don't blame you for punishing US as a whole.

I wouldn't blame you either way, but I doubt you'd agree that judging Canada or even Calgary based in general on Alberta is fair.

Geographically most of California is red as fuck.

You can literally walk down the street in some cities and go between pockets filled with rainbow flags and maga hatred mixed with messages about how much god loves everyone.

Treating US as a single location is a bit naive even though I understand where you're coming from. If we manage to get the orange pedo and other nazis out of fed, you can safely visit. Nothing wrong with continuing to punish the cunts who voted him in by not buying Kentucky whisky though.

It isn't. Of course established brands make quality stuff; their brand depends on it. It's the US/Canada/Europe level of qa expectation and local laws that are driving the quality.

And cars are not only expensive as fuck, but also are an absolute necessity in most of US/Canada. I wouldn't blame anyone for getting a fully loaded $30k brand new electric car over a similarly priced "budget" Kia. Might as well take advantage of the fact that China is subsidizing the other $20k.

There's almost nothing that can break in an electric car over typical lease period, but I wouldn't want to keep it past the warranty or get into a serious accident in it.
