This is supposedly a EV battery ejection system to make battery fires easier to control. Pedestrians and cyclists had best say goodbye to their lower legs.

Besides the fact that I hate this uppity way of saying no, the first commenter didn’t really say whether or not the driver was the one getting out.
Not that I’m disputing any of what you’re saying, but how is “No.” uppity?
If I had to take a guess, it’s about perceived tone. Connotation becomes extremely important in online discourse.
Rather than “No. Here is the rest of what I have to say,” I recommend “Nah, here is the rest of what I have to say.”
It’s a lot less forceful, more conversational.
The point make the no very harsh in my mental voice. "No. Because… " compared to “No, because…”
I dunno, like I just imagine someone saying it in real life and it’s either very uppity or very neckbeard, fedora, know-it-all-y. Like “um ackshually. No.”
That kind of vibe?
Like, the comment could’ve just started with the second sentence, without the “No.”, you know?
And that’s the only way you can read that?
It’s the way I read it. I’m just sharing my perspective, and that’s what I’m able to do. Diplomatic phrasing/tone isn’t something everyone can write fluently. 🤷♂️ The “No.” just had no place in there either, which is what set the tone. The message could’ve been delivered without the “No.”, because there was no question or statement, really. You see what I’m saying?
I do, but I’m not certain you do. It isn’t flattering.
What are you saying? I don’t see what I’m saying? And that’s not flattering? To whom? I can’t make sense of your vague comment, sorry.
It’s very unflattering to me, I’m putting it on a t shirt and the color of that thought on my basically-a-mood-ring app really clashes with my skin tone. It’s dreadful.
What is?
“Uppity”. Youre just assuming I’m a frequent passenger or p########n.
I am not assuming you are anything. I’m not sure what that redacted word is supposed to be either. 😶
Ped. A fucking filthy ped. How dare you.
Pedestrian?
Wow you just said it, fully. Braver person than i.
