Elon is such a genius he reinvented British Leyland, very biggest brain.

I think there is an upside to this. As I replied to another commentor, my entire 30 years career has been in the world of fear of being fired constantly. There always seems to be at least one manager that will fire people for stupid stuff like not wearing the correct shirt or the like at every company.

That’s been all of my 30+ years in my career. Every company has a “Queen of Hearts” in the C-Suite.

It’s pretty fun to watch these silicon valley “geniuses” that think they don’t need any help from seasoned experts in their fields and that they have somehow discovered some magic new way of doing things learn the hard way that they are not as smart as they think.

1st: Elon is learning a real lesson in “free” market economics.

Ya gotta dilute the alkaline more; the more you dilute it, the more effective and powerful it gets, duh.

Of course commercial flying is safer - the planes are safer. You don’t have nearly the redundancy in a single-engine plane that you do on a jet. Hence why I’m not nearly as worried about the 737 Max issues as some people are (got off one yesterday, in fact).

The “forked-tail doctor killer” strikes again. The V-class Beechcraft Bonanzas have a history that is not great.

I got to see one of these (unliveried, never raced, from a Japanese collection IIRC) at Lime Rock a few years ago. It took a moment to realize what I was looking at (Porsches are like trees in the forest at car meets), I walked right past it but luckily did a double take.

I do not disagree with you in the slightest (also own an EV...2 actually). However, we absolutely must be cognizant that a very large population in the US currently rents, so being able to install or have access to a home L2 charger is not feasible. Until we see both higher saturation of public fast charging and…

Funny, I just rented a Kona (previous generation) and over 500 miles of city and highway driving I never once thought that it was slow or needed more power. We’ve come a long way from the 70s and 80s and the truly slow cars. We’re living in a great age when the slowest cars you can buy now are pretty much faster than…

I’m not usually as anti-slideshow as many commenters here, but this one felt more pointless than usual, especially with the uninformative photos attached. 

Sounds like they gave him a glass of Kool-Aid too....

Elon:

Whatever I just picked out of the Emerald Aisle at National. Love the one you’re with. 

Those are manual transmission turbo diesels too! Not wagons or available in brown, but I think we can forgive those two sins and at least call it an honorary Jalopmobile - right?

I like Lutz as a car guy, but he had terrible business sense. I personally liked all of the cars he pushed for, but they were all sales flops, and predictably so.

Pour one out for the coin holder. I get it, no one uses coins anymore, but I have fond memories of playing around with satisfying spring-loaded action of inserting/removing coins in my dad’s 1990 Mustang 5.0.
