I read a dozen articles from 2013, and not a single one mentioned or even suggested that Tesla was legally bound to a quota of cars under a certain price.

The LA Times says nothing about any quota for cars under a certain price. What else you got?

In Hit and Run he’s playing himself. Maybe he hasn’t actually been wheelman for bank robberies but clearly he’s got the skills. If you don’t like him in that, you don’t like him.

Yes, we know Tesla announces a low price and then doesn’t meaningfully deliver at that price. But is it, this year, this time, an actual legal stipulation, or just the usual car-business bait-and-switch? Are you speculating with (well-deserved) cynicism or is this a verifiable fact?

It looks like an invited pass to me, not an extended run of lanesplitting. Just prior, all lanes of traffic were moving at the limit (likely above the limit; commuters don’t cotton to speed limits around here). I know what the truck driver said, but if I’m the bike I’m trying to look past the truck when we’re all at…

Thanks for responding. That was the case at the initial launch, but this isn’t a fresh case of that, is it?

Please do get a motorcycle license. Maybe then you’ll understand.

It’s beige. It may be called gold, but it’s beige. It’s an insult.

You aren’t from around here, are you?

A lawyer could argue anything. But successfully? Come on. The property owners have had multiple intrusions. They’re rocks, not sharpened spikes angled outward. A lawyer would do a few minutes of research and realize they’re strolling into frivolous lawsuit territory. Parking a vehicle out front is not a better idea.

What mandate?

Assuming the local jurisdiction isn’t holding out for better development, someone could get use of the speedway facility... but only with all the ripoff admission fees and bullshit rules and killjoy security and asshole cops that being adults and dealing with tools requires.

The Pamplona comparison is spot-on — at this point, how many of the spectators are there expressly to get close to a Watch This moment?

Not until pedestrians come with better car avoidance technology.

And, pointedly, one in which EVERYONE ON FOOT KNOWS WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN BUT IS STANDING THERE ANYWAY.

Just because you say it, doesn’t mean it’s true...

It’s no joke. The ES is a fantastic mid-size luxury vehicle, for those who want to step up from a non-luxury brand or from a compact luxury car, and have zero interest in whatever an “enthusiast” is or does or likes. These are the practical people who use the word staid as a compliment and compare the cars they’re…

No. The Tesla Model S does not, except in the weakest mumbliest wishywashiest way, fit. Let’s dig in:

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I would argue that “womanly” qualities are valued by women, sometimes. And “womanly” qualities are valued in non-leadership and lower-level supervisory/managerial positions by many businesses. Not in leadership or sales, of course, but in all of those support and customer service positions... you know, the jobs women…
