And there's the noise pollution.

I believe the Model X actually uses a smaller motor up front?

'A coffeeshop/library with absolute silence'

I wonder how much it'll go for? $500 million? The sale seems like a great opportunity to launder some money or evade some taxes.

For God's sake, use double-stick foam tape to stick down the bottom of your license plate and frame!

Nissan undershot it. 80 miles is insufficient range, especially when the charging infrastructure isn't being built. It's essentially at a standstill in California (except Tesla), and every prediction is that the marketplace for charging is going to get much, much worse before it gets any better. Layers of providers,…

It's not a bad idea to let your kids do dangerous things.
Here's an interesting talk on it:

Now, for everyone about to say it: that doesn't mean that any kid should be allowed to do any thing in any condition, no matter what, no question. The argument is that kids shouldn't…

I don't get why VW doesn't make a new Microbus, or a new Vanagon. People would be waiting in line to buy them. Especially if they put a wood hybrid drivetrain in them. I mean, old VW bus's and even vanagons are worth an *insane* amount of money for such a basic thing.

Emulation still cannot do rhythm games properly, unfortunately. The only way to play the fantastic art-as-a-game PaRappa the Rapper is on a real console.

Well, I certainly hope that the county of the state can catch one of these guys, and make a total example of him. Empty his bank accounts, and the account of his family, permanently deny him a driver's license, get him to roll on anyone else involved in the events, use him to occupy some space in a brutal…

Oh, yeah, a real creeper. But he was fairly good looking, so people tended to implicitly trust him. But what he was doing wasn't *really* stalking.

> There was a really cute lady in the car and he just wanted to impress her.

level 2 charger in 5 hours, and their charger does it in 30 minutes?
Highest level 2 power is 19.2 kW. They claim to charge 10 times as fast as that, so, around 190 kW.
The Tesla Supercharger delivers only 120 kW, and is considered to be at about the charging rate limit of the whole battery pack.

So, these folks might be…

Is it quiet? If so, how on earth did they possibly make it quiet? Because rotaries are insanely loud.

omg, you live in Pasadena. I really want to move back there. I'm jealous.
Buy me a house. Or let me live in a tent in your yard.

No permanent magnets. One of Tesla's primary innovations is a high power inductoin motor. I believe Fukuta is the subcontractor or consultant on the motor design.

The rotor definitely is, yes. That was one of Tesla's original patents, water cooling of the rotor of an induction motor.

Let's not forget the theory that Phelps was actually a deep cover troll who architected the whole to result in the self-maligning of modern practice of Christianity, and force eyes and ears onto the issue, and force them/us to really hash it out.

I've seen pretty much every single video in this genre and related genres that is avaialble out there on the internet. Yes, it can be reproduced and faked, but it always reads as a fake. Simultaneously, something that is then genuine has all these impossibly little cues that establish a genuine feel to it. For those…

This is one point in the spectrum of arguments in favor of sexual socialism and/or treating sex as part of healthcare. We're already really close, with "access to sex" arguments being made, famously by Sandra Fluke, as part of the maelstrom over healthcare delivery and health insurance here in the US.
