A few years ago, there was a robbery in a NYC cell phone store. Cops from at least two different precincts responded. Instead of coordinating their engagement of the perp, they went in “Wild West” style. One cop ended up shooting and killing another cop, and instead of charging the killer cop for “negligence” at…

there will be enormous challenges in reaching volume production with the Cybertruck

That said, there’s a difference between tackling something that’s hard and going out of one’s way to make that thing harder than it needs to be.

I’m a scientist, so I have some experience in doing things that are hard. Tackling hard problems is how we make progress.

The flat windscreen too is a nightmare of reflections

Like a giant musical saw

I’m no EM-apologist, but sometimes you do things because they are hard.

So I looked it up. Musk has a BS in Physics and a BA in economics.

I took a look at the title of this one and assumed I was going to hate whatever garish decals some joker had thrown on there. I was wrong. I kinda like this design. Heck, I kinda love it. And I kinda want it.

I like the hood opening on the Cub Cadet in the trailer as a final detail.

I always thought that was a perfect video, the way you have a great view of the truck and trailer catching air together before they fall out of view.

Part of me feels like an idiot that I couldn’t tell that it was a Merc, but I’m not the only one around here that thought so.

That Altima is a Mercedes (per the local news reports, and the cops are hunting for it). If it had been an Altima, it too would have likely been in the drink.

Oh no it does not. At all. The easist place to see alligators around here are golf courses. There are alligators in pretty much every single water hazard. When I first moved there I lived in a gated community on a golf course. I could sit on the lanai and watch the two local ‘gators around the 4th green pretty much…

Oh yeah.  My parents lived on a man made canal.  They were one of the first houses there.  Within a month of them moving in there was a giant gator in the canal.  The construction guys in the area were pigs and throwing stuffing the canal (ok, glorified ditch) and my parents thought they had thrown out a tractor tire…

I’m thinking the initial bump he hit when going off road deployed his airbag. Watch around 22-23 seconds: his car will lift and you can see the white of the airbag beginning to deploy. He crashed into the canal because he very likely couldn’t see or handle the steering wheel. Plus, he might’ve been stunned by the…

I go to the gym twice a day. I can do both.

Most of the weight savings is in deleting the sunroof. Yes, it’s around 9 pounds to go from a non-sunroof roof to a carbon one. 

I would like to maintain a Grand Touring style interior, with HVAC and stereo maintained.

Tire and tool kit have been gone for a while. The front axles and differential have already been jettisoned, also. 

I am definitely a lunatic.
