You forget how freaking hot the batteries get, they'd have to be liquid cooled. Super high power electric motors also get wicked hot.

It's an investment. Facebook pumps some capital in it now, sells Oculus for 50billion to google later.

and most people don't understand cars and blindly hate a company based on a few high profile online smear campaigns from a limited number of questionable situations that we were not a part of.

what? They DID design their own body, it may follow some body lines of the lotus because that's easier than starting from scratch, but it's a totally custom carbon fiber body with drastically different aero.

if you think that body is still lotus you know nothing about the car. In shape, kinda similar, but that's a 100% custom body. The only thing lotus is the interior/center frame(which has been extensively stretched/modified).

F16 > MiG 23 every time

The dog at :45 is a hovawart, if anyone was wondering. (I own one, awesome dogs)

Compensation is for damage done, never had an issue? they don't owe you a thing. The $500 towards another vehicle is MORE than they need to do.

This is a totally fine move. They can't be expected to buy back a million vehicles that simply need new ignition switches. Replace the bad part, investigate how they screwed up so much and the feds as well, that's all there is to it.

ah gotcha, you're misusing the term "Rec" diving. Recreational diving is considered anything single tank, advanced open water, nitrox, etc. Once you hit advanced nitrox and decompression diving with double tanks or other setups, that's called "Tech diving", it's recreational, yes, but you don't call it that, it's tech…

I'm not sure what you're saying... you can't explore more than 10-15 at a time because of decompression limits of recreational diving, even with nitrox. To do longer would take techdiving certs and equipment.

it was fake, just an industrial design exercise. The physics don't work, it would require too much water to flow through

Nah, far too shallow for that, it would be a waste of money to bring something like that there. They cost a few million a piece and are usually stationed on ocean research vessels. You'd have to have it trucked in to the area and then you've got no support boat, it's a logistical nightmare.

100-130feet it looks like. Hence the guy in doubles, he's set up for decompression diving. The problem is on normal single tank even at 30% nitrox and a PPO2 of 1.5 you'd only be looking at a bottom time in the city of maybe 10-15 minutes. The only way to truly explore this is with advanced nitrox and decompression…

He'll still get sued to oblivion from starbucks, as he should. This does NOT fall under fair use. Fair use requires a very limited amount of the original work used and that the use does not financially impact the original work (and a few other things, but those are what he violated).

Starbucks can easily prove…

I disagree, all together I don't think it requires THAT much investment to get road worthy if you do the work yourself. Then you've got a fully enclosed car hauler for under 10 grand! Even a gas guzzler, that's a good deal. That V8 some maitenance and the proper rear end gearing and it's easily highway worthy as well.

All I can say is you're wrong. That 2%, 4% etc DOES make a big difference depending on the work. Camera buffer sizes also differ between the makes. I do a lot of underwater photography and I can tell you, it really does matter when you're dealing with dramatic changes in lighting. That said, I know photographers who…

There's big differences between them. Both at the high end are very, very good, but they are NOT the same. Depending on what you're doing one certainly can be better than the other.

I scubadive and do underwater photography. Flood insurance for the housings is really expensive, however homeowner's insurance covers the cameras if they get lost or stolen while traveling so as we say, if your camera gets wet, leave it at the bottom of the ocean!
