Sounds like a tough gig. Maybe they should sell their buildings if its causing them such strife. 

If landlords actually needed the income they would sell the buildings. 

Tesla’s arent made for track days. They are made for commuters. Until I see a bunch of commuters pulled over on the Tejon Pass in the middle of summer I am going to say they dont actually have heat dissipating problems. Read more

Ill take anything that makes the Giz sites readable on mobile. 

Just tried it a few days ago! It was truly awful. Surprisingly awful. Read more

Close. They are a g(R)ift. 

For a “for profit” company they sure are bad at that whole “profit” thing. 

At this point I feel like all claims made about electric or hybrid vehicles should be made under penalty of jail time. This is getting so so tiresome. 

So this was used to try and spy on the Iran nuclear program, right?

Ill put it a different way: Read more

Oh yeah! Best solution to the guy actively subverting the voting process is to........vote him out?

I dont give a fuck what the Senate does. They can reconvene the House of Reps.

Im sorry, do you think that the GOP would vote for impeachment under any circumstance? Read more

If the Democrats were worth a single shit they would immediately call for an emergency session and vote on another impeachment this weekend and do absolutely everything possible to force Trump into creating a very public constitutional crisis. Read more

I would take that 1000 mile range with a mountain of salt. Fuel cells are efficient, but not as efficient as a straight electric motor, and hydrogen is not as energy dense as gasoline.

Yes and no. The air is filtered and changed regularly, however, the whole reason 6 ft is a rule is because of airplanes. After SARS or swine flu they discovered that people had gotten sick after sitting 2 rows away (6 ft) from someone with the disease. Read more

Almost all efficiency improvements could be done just by updating the drivetrain and adding air skirts to the underside. 

I mean if there isnt even the possibility of taking cool trips whats the point of dragging it on? Also, Palm Springs is hot as balls this year, I would bail as quickly as I could too. 

Its just that the pulling force is never pulling the connection straight out. Its always pulling or twisting the connection sideways, the extra long connector and stiff cable basically guarantees this. It wears the female port out and will lead to it breaking or at least breaking its mounts on the chassis. 

Im starting to get sick of the USB-C connector for computer power, displays, etc. The connection is not strong or secure enough to stand up the inflexible cables and ungainly plug. Its great for charging phones but otherwise its just not sturdy enough.
