NEW from D.S. Desuman: the good-at-any-speed Impact Absorber! Compatible with nearly any make and model (seen here fitted to a Tesla Model S) and good for absorbing impacts at nearly any speed. No, I'm serious! Go ahead- pick an obstacle and just floor it. No matter what the speed, I guarantee you that you will feel…

So... one would guess the purpose of the sign would be to warn drivers to slow down to ice-appropriate speeds before the bridge, yeah?

Expect to drive the trucks late this year. :-)

These articles are my favorite thing about Oppo. They're like crack.

I've always preferred Amber turn signals on the back. Since I was a kid, I always thought that vehicles just didn't look right without them. And it's not that American manufacturers "can't" install them because of cost. They already make the lenses and wiring harnesses for european export:

More importantly, SEPARATE bulbs for turn signals. Enough of the "one bulb for both brake and turn signals" bullcrap.

AMBER LAMPS!

The fact that amber is a different color means it is easier to process that the vehicle is (theoretically) going to turn. Red means stop not turning.

It depends on whom Tesla is targeting. "Normal" wealthy Chinese who drives around Merc S500/AMG living in Tier One cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen live mostly in high rise condos. It's difficult to describe if you haven't lived there (I have, as an expat for a few years), but in Beijing for…

Well, I think this may be one of those situations where throwing money at the problem could actually solve something. By entering the Chinese market (particularly as a luxury vehicle), Tesla is positioning itself to have a lot of money thrown at it.

COTD!!

Helped start Paypal, became a millionaire (billionaire?), now runs a successful solar panel company, an electric car company that's a Wall St. Darling, and a rocket ship company that has deals with NASA and is also doing fine. That's the look of a guy who's got shit figured out, if it's a little smug he can be…

Nailed it.

If he does well in China, then he is set. Success in China brings us that much closer to the lower-priced model that's in the works.

COTD!

In China he only has to bribe the Government once, in America he has to bribe all 50 States. That is tiring don't you know.

Yeah "really expensive market" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Isn't it a pity that we tout a "free-market" model when it really depends on how much money you have to throw at the problem?

"Free-market" America tells me where I can and cannot sell my cars. Communist China allows me to sell anywhere....that's cute.
