I heard from a friend who ordered a 500e that there's so much interest in the car Fiat is going to double their production run. Dealer's won't be able to get test drivers, they're all going to customers.

What's a "squirl"? Why would it want a net?

Right. So, some other criteria than 'reason' then?

Maybe they will, but at least you *can*. When I think of missing infrastructure, I'm thinking more like the inaccessibility of hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles, or even the scarcity of stations where one can refuel a NGV even though natural gas is used everywhere.

It'd take less than a month. I was a convert from the first drive. The first rush of instant acceleration

Lacks infrastructure? Who in the US doesn't have electricity in their house?

They'll sound as good as whatever you're playing on the stereo.

To address some of your claims using Tesla engineering choices as an example. That, and Fisker doesn't really exist anymore:

Wow, that's a lot of work. Looking through their site I noticed something that didn't seem right with the vehicle specifications. They list the motor at 403 horsepower that creates a "staggering" 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds. I'm probably missing something because I am quite dumb, but from where I sit that seems like a…

You just let me know when the PS4 can run Photoshop or ZBrush. PCs are good for more than just games y'know.

Looking at the list of Guardians it seems that Santa is the big ticket A-list star and the others are what the production could afford with their remaining budget. Seriously, Sandman who?

Let me get this straight, you want a charging pad with a wire attached to it so you can wirelessly charge your wireless trackpad?

Okay, the pose is different so perhaps Madame Tussauds didn't do this exact figure, but they just completed one for the Hong Kong museum. I guess Steve Jobs figures are popular in Asia.

It's a wax figure done by Madame Tussauds:

Believe it or not, these films are made by people who actually enjoy the work and make their living from it. It's not all greed and corporate profits.

As a note to the camera operators for future demos: once you've established that the book is black and white machine-readable nonsense, just point the camera at the screen. The TV shows what folks are doing with their hands and all the magic shit is happening on that screen. Really, you don't need to keep panning back…

The grounds aren't in the smaller basket. The entire press assembly squishes down the grounds, basket and all. The basket provides the first pass of filtering. The coffee goes in and gets filtered by the top of the basket again.
