This is one of those cool pieces of technology that people don't really consider technology. Another one I like (related to sea faring) is the ability to sail across the wind rather than only with it.

Bloomberg does the math and finds he made… one billion (.1) dollars! In one day! It also means that Tesla has a market capitalization (# of shares X share price) of $30.4 billion, making it worth about half a General Motors or Ford Motor Company.

My guess is that they are using some form of weldable aluminum. From the sound of it, their body construction is very similar to what it was in the past (spot welded). Especially since they made a bunch of aluminum panels off of the old tooling for that truck that ran Baja.

If I wore nail polish, I don't because I'm a dude and it would be weird if I did, I would totally rock the same color as my Volvo.

Is it made with bits of real panther?

I think this is a good conversation to being up the Edmund Fitzgerald. Lost on a lake, in 1975 (fairly modern communications and radar), and there was another ship near by. 29 crewmen were lost without ever sending a distress signal. The documentaries I saw basically said one minute it was there, the next it wasn't.…

Everyone knows the Porsche company's origin story, right? He designed a "People's Car" for that guy everyone gets compared to on the Internet, a racing version was made before WWII but never used, and then after the war he built the first real Porsche sports car in a Austrian garage. But something's missing in the…

I think you mean this.

Not that anyone really cares about my opinion anyway but one of the things that kind of irritated me about the old format was that in longer threads it was kind of hard to see who was responding to whom. You'd see Racescort666>Gamecat235 but both of us have multiple replies in the same thread and there wasn't an easy…

Here's the real enemy. /sarcasm

Done.

Ah. Yeah, I imagine that many manufacturing jobs use traditional English units. Even aircraft used English when I was doing that, what a joke that was. As far as I've seen, the entirety of new products in Auto are done in metric. The only ones that are English are product lines that are ancient. Not really new…

Yep. It's funny because it's a big hat.

I'll bite; I don't want anyone to feel left out. Something that I find important to point out that gets (IMO) conspicuously overlooked, men are sexy in different ways than women.

Letter is the same as ANSI A. This is somewhat a source of confusion but Tabloid is B size.

What industry are you working in because Auto is almost entirely metric and has been for years?

Here's the best installed picture I could find. This is what I was thinking.

There are a few around here in the Chicago suburbs.

Yeah. I'm visualizing spy gear where the lock cylinder is replaced by a camera. Is that what you've done?
