“... 2,700 miles is the first major service...”
“... occasionally ordering the seafood at Applebee’s...”
Read this morning that China is already asking for ‘flexibility’ in terms for the new agreement. IOW, they’ve got a good excuse for noncompliance, which they were going to do anyway.
re: “... I’d expect that the space around cylindrical cells might help with cooling...”
With cylindrical cells you have space around them to circulate cooling air and/or liquid; don’t know how you’d manage that with what are essentially stacked wafers (and apparently, they can swell from gas emissions when being charged).
‘Buzz Box!’
Sort of OT: Originally, the bulge was for a (full-size) spare, and was known as the ‘Continental Package.’ Ford tried it on the ‘56 T-Bird—Marilyn Monroe had one*—but word was the aerodynamics of a barn door on the rear caused the front end to lift at highway speeds (not good).
re: “... information that’s already visible to everybody on the street...”
re: “... we need to find a way to make these scanners illegal or severely curtail their use...”
Star for correct use of ‘its’
Hmmm .... trying to figure out how Chevy will make a ‘real people’ meme out of this (find the ‘real people’ who stole the wheels?).
Love the shade cast on chrome wheels. The worst are the humongous 24" dubs on boxy SUVs; guess you have to do something to distinguish your shoebox on 4 wheels
re: “... find a small country side road and tear it apart...”
re: “.. maybe that someone isn’t qualified to be piloting a motor vehicle at all.”
Fourth pedal, well, button, should be the high beam switch. I hate hate hate the stalk switches, esp. if they’re on the same stalk as the wipers.
My favorite ‘Teslasode’ was when I watched a guy park a Model X and open the ‘falcon’ door. Out stepped a sharp-dressed black dude who got something out of the back of the car then walked coolly away without looking back, raised his arm and pressed a button on his e-key (like he was detonating a bomb, in the movies).…
I’m a dormant Commercial Pilot but still read a lot of aircraft accident reports. Something that is (not uncommonly) heard on the cockpit voice recorders of high-end aircraft with sophisticated autopilots—real autopilots—is: “What is it doing NOW?!”
