Gracias, y buen ojo, eh.

In the interview, Munro states that the door is CF, but the beam is steel and that BMW figured it out somehow, but no one explains how. They identified scientifically how something a problem, but they disregarded how another company solved it. 

Hopefully their children won’t have to wait too many years to rebel against their new tyrannical corporate overlords though.

I’d have a lot more confidence in SpaceX if they didn’t park their prototype right next to a giant explosion.

I use “pee by sonar” in the dark to refine my GPS positioning. Other bathroom user is still not happy. No pleasing some people.

Thank God they didn’t go thru with this. The fighting over a game of Sea Battle would horrific.
“MOOOOOMMMMM! Timmy mined his harbor, so I can’t get my ships in it to win!”
“You’re just mad you didn’t think of it first.”
“Am not!
“Are too!”
“Look you two....cut it out right this instant or I swear as soon as the map

Can confirm using the restraining order my next door neighbor now has after I had a slight “GPS resolution error”.

as we all rely on satellite navigation to get to our own bathrooms now. 

It’s a good point, araucaniad. Musk makes reference to a door opening, though in the case of the i3/i8 the frame and door are both CFRP, so there should be no delta there.

He definitely should have expounded a bit on that issue, I agree!


That navigation interface from 1982 still looks better than my 2008 Accord.

I think that the correct answer to both questions is: it depends on how you design the battery pack and the vehicle interaction.

Musk then discusses with Munro plans for Tesla to move to a structural battery pack that leverages the individual cells as structural elements that resist shear. “The cells today in every car are carried like a sack of potatoes,” Musk explains. “They actually have negative structural value,” going on to say how

This is impressive. I’m not the world’s biggest Musk fan, but very few C-suite executives have anywhere that level of knowledge about their product. Credit where credit is due, good for him. 

This is basically Cadillac looking enthusiasts dead in the eyes and saying: “don’t say I never did nothin for ya!”

Don’t forget the ‘group’ of management who covered for this shitweasel by getting NDAs, and made him sign something that basically says:

what is the right format? keep your hands to yourself. it's not that complicated or difficult.

Sure it’s possible if the guys aren’t creeps.  So that weeds out about 99% of them.

HR gal here. I can’t help but think that if he was fired just two days after a tweet that management already knew. They fucking knew. You can bet there are some NDAs in a locked desk. That hidden history is what let them drop the axe that fast on their failson-bestboi.

I 10000% believe all of this happened exactly as described. I’ve been working in the music industry for years, and at one point worked at a rival magazine to Fader and had many friends who worked at Vice. The descriptions of these parties are totally dead-on and I can completely see all of those events happening. I
