That’s fine, because F1 isn’t NASCAR. F1 is a constructors’ championship as much as it is a drivers’ championship, and that’s because the teams each build their own car from the ground up. The engineers matter as much as the driver.

I’ve found the uber-successful folks I’ve encountered are “off” in some way. I’ve worked in Congress and interacted with elected officials, worked at international development and got to collaborate with Nobel Prize-tier economists and ministers of finance, and today work in the private sector where I’ve had dealing…

Because it takes a real sociopath to put that much effort into money and power. People who aren’t sociopaths want to find a partner, settle down, live a nice life. You only get this much wealth and power if you’re willing to destroy anyone and everyone around you to get it.

Because it mostly takes a real weirdo/asshole to make that kind of money.

Why is it that those who continuously rise to the top to attain the most wealth and power are consistently assholes?  And they don’t check out as quick as you’d think. They stick around, like dried dog shit on the bottom of your shoe. 

Im still trying to understand why there are any advertisers still there

or...

The advertisers’ response to Musk:

alternatively 

Bentley needs to be more like Koenigsegg and build a car that’s so slow it only needs a one-speed transmission. Very irresponsible.

Why an eight speed?

Exactly. My wife was always one of those “I’ll never be a soccer mom in a minivan!”. Then we had our 3rd child and a 3 row SUV (Yukon/Suburban/Escalade not withstanding) just doesn’t cut it. I coaxed her into looking at a Carnival to see the potential, now she can’t wait for the market to calm down so we can get one.

Facts don't matter. Say something often enough and loud enough and a third of the country will believe it.

One thing Pizzagate goobers never talk about is that the Comet Ping Pong gunman proved it was fake. He shot through a lock and found no hidden doors or sex dungeons, then said he was wrong about the whole thing. And Elon is still validating it seven years later.

As a 23XI fan, I’m excited about this new design. They slapped a flat tip on the nose so other manufacturer driven cars will work with them on super speedways. That said, I do prefer the looks of the outgoing nose.

I know they wont, but I really want them to sell a V8 RWD 2 door Camry.  I’d drive it.

The problem is people don’t follow the warnings because of the way it has been marketed. In their understanding that is just nanny legal shit that Tesla has to put in there, and it is meant to be ignored.

When I bought my Tesla, the sales associate very clearly stated that only government regulation was preventing Tesla from having full autonomy. Even then, it was necessary to believe in a conspiracy against Elon to believe in FSD. This was when Tesla had only just released AP2 with the side cameras on the Model S door…

Yes, advertise for years and years, say one thing, and then deliver another.

We should not be beta-testing this kind of thing on public roads. I really hope this case goes to an actual trial. No settlements. Don’t let Elon write a little check to make this go away. People were killed using software that was absolutely not ready to be deployed to the public.
