This happened in my city shortly after I bought my first house. It was so nauseating listening to tree branches crashing down on my roof all night.

I've had the same experience. I splurged a bit and got one with all the bells and whistles (warm water, heated seat, etc.). It's such a shockingly significant improvement to something I do daily. Couldn't imagine going without it now. I can't believe they're not more common.

This makes it sound like the people participating in protests and boycotts do not vote, which is untrue. In fact, I would wager that activists are one of the demographics with the highest voter turnout. Additionally, protests can actually help increase voter turnout by raising awareness of key issues.

YSK: There are 6 levels (0-5) of autonomous driving in c/[email protected]

This is a helpful article, but this part of the post seems a bit misleading:

[...] falling behind competitors such as Waymo, NAVYA, and Volvo, who all have Level 4 cars in production.

The article explains that Level 4 cars are only allowed in geofenced areas with low speed limits, which limits the use case to urban robo-taxis. The article also says:

While the future of autonomous vehicles is promising and exciting, mainstream production in the U.S. is still a few years away from anything higher than Level 2.

I don't say this to defend Tesla. Setting aside the obvious political issues, you are right that Tesla's FSD claim is dangerously misleading, and Tesla has been consistently failing to keep its promised timelines for improving.

I say this because I am really excited by the idea of fully self driving cars (though I hope they don't remove the steering controls like the article suggests), and for a second I thought other commercial vehicle options had made significantly improved self-driving available. Unfortunately, the improvements seem to be limited to ride-sharing applications for now.

The title could really use an extra comma and some quotation marks...
