LOL, imagine believing that. 

BOOT STRAPS! HARD WORK! SELF MADE!

Grow up. 

For those of you lucky, or exploitative enough, to be able to afford one, you’d better damn well drive the thing.

Okay, what has pushed the envelope more than the F1 did in the early 1990s?

I’m not a fan of the car myself, but it certainly was an engineering marvel.

Please tell me where the nomenclature of one stops and the other begins. 

I was hesitant to start such a long article while I’m still at work but once I started I couldn’t put it down. Fantastic read, I could talk to Murray all day. We’d likely have almost nothing in common, but it makes me wish all my cars were lighter and stiffer. 

I don’t think they’re quite sold out yet, and the 25 track-only cars haven’t even finished design work yet, so those will be another year or so before they launch. 

I”m assuming these are all sold out? Yes I can’t afford it but if I win a good sized powerball in the 6 months I’d be very tempted to buy one.  And an excellent interview of course.  

Transcribing a 1-hour interview is about as close to back-breaking work as this job gets. I hope you all like it.

It’s glass, but very thin. Gordon wanted visibility to be a key characteristic of the T.50. Therefore, glass everywhere. 

One thing I’ve noticed about Teslas I’ve seen. is that they seem under-built compared to a conventional car. I mean the model X weight 5000 lbs. As much as a truck, yet the suspension arms look like something for a 3200 lb Subaru.  Honestly my Civic has stronger looking lower control arms. 

Yeah, that’s what this sure looks like to me. Bad casting. Sure bad castings happen, but how often do you hear about them happening on safety-critical automotive components these days? Never, right? Normal companies take care to make sure that they get their castings right every time. Tesla is the kind of company that…

Your dream of people not being jerks on Twitter died around 580 years ago. As soon as Gutenberg invented the printing press where it was cheap to say whatever was on your mind, people started documenting their assholery.

Do we really think this crypto dude was powersliding his brand new minivan in a residential neighborhood? I mean it's clear this thing fell apart in the middle of a turn where he sits. It's not wet or anything.

I wish people weren’t jerks on Twitter. That said, the wear on the tire reminds me of an accident I saw where someone totaled their 2000 Jetta sliding sideways into a curb at ~15 MPH. The data from accelerometers should give a pretty clear picture if that happened.

Jesus, that’s awful and I hope they get it sorted out.

Are you sure it just doesn’t need a software update?

That’s the thing. Something bad enough to break a control arm, should have blown the tire and potentially cracked the rim too. I mean, I guess he could’ve driven over a rock just the right size to smack it but not damage anything else, but yeah.

Holy sweet cannoli, some of these people defending Musk.

I’ve hit some crazy things with much cheaper cars and never had the wheel come off.  Tesla needs to stand by their product instead of coming up with bullshit excuses why they shouldn’t.  Tesla isn’t quite mainstream enough to pull this shit.
