dunno. Had a flight last year someone like you actually asked. It let me get the spillable stuff and move my laptop back before they leaned back and napped. no drama there.

the one that keeps raising it then dropping it to full extension as quickly as possible, repeatedly, however IS a dick. Especially when the flight crew has announced (and they’re awake) to put the damned seat UP cuz we’re on final.

Im gonna go with a slight edit, that the points the article brought up, created a “were a disaster waiting to happen”. Supporters will claim “hindsight is 20/20" to try to soften the criticism, but when you’re cutting corners on time, resources, etc, and put aesthetics before safety on a civil engineering project, the…

also important to note, according to some guys who’d worked Boeing’s SST project back in the day that I did support for, was the refusal of the FAA to force any airlines here to conform to dimensional differences a very large, narrow delta wing needed. Two exits mandated, and very long access tunnels. The Concorde not…

having been fortunate enough to stand along the runway, mid way, of the Concorde on its takeoff, and hearing the loudest thing Ive ever experienced (as in, yell as loud as you can, you can’t hear *yourself* and all your ears are doing is pretty much pressed at one end of amplitude like a giant wave) I cannot imagine…

people who don’t understand how technology “stands on the shoulders of giants” are always the first to talk about “aliens” but they never got enough expertise to know the prototyping and even theoretical research for every breakthrough goes back decades. If something showed up without decades of publicly published…

a real one or a kit car? whos drilling holes into the hood to mount lights on a car that has what, a half dozen surviving, running, not-locked-away examples on the road?

another “fake news” outlet that calls everything “comedy”. How many of those are there now? not counting the ones that pretend not to be comedy anyway. Is this part of a “Musk for political office” campaign as every villain needs their own media mouthpiece to savage competition and use “comedy”as the shield to avoid…

more accurately: you *wanted* to flog it, but its inbuilt mileage-uber-alles programming denied you the ability. a slightly more aggressive commute simulation is what resulted. Tray drifting, I thought that died out decades ago.

Teasers are for generating hype that the product itself cannot do.

from the exterior anyway, the Model 3 is a real looker. took care of some of the styling issues I had with the later Model S front end.

I seem to remember some attempts at EV dragsters. Instant torque meant a lot of broken drivelines. So the “thing” to do was to program the controller for a throttle curve the driveline could handle. Whole thing launched from a big red button. the driver just needed to keep it pointed correctly until hitting the e…

I prefer the old classic MJ popcorn gif myself

in most industries, the cry would go out about some “evil” corporation trying to push the law to benefit themselves. But when its an EV, the ONE significant EV maker (and soon battery mogul) with California attachments, no one sees any problems. But as long as more and more people are city locked millenials who…

diesel. still ICE, brewed from recycled foodstuffs or lubricants. Got agriculture? you got diesel.

doesn’t most of the world have the option to get this with a diesel?

could’ve saved money and offered to buy it for $million$, enough cash and he’d mightve went with “therealnissan” or something. but no lawyers would get paid that way

means easily recycled at the local metal collection facility like soda cans?

its like racing a chinese 50cc moped or a mini bike around a parking lot. sometimes its a lot more fun to make a slow vehicle relatively fast, than make an easily fast vehicle do exactly that?

serious question, out of all the Z06's who have documented track time, how many are experiencing this issue? Is this metric available?
