This is the Elon I like to see. Less drama, more science, and ....humble?
Also, reading this article felt like reading Popular Science articles from the 90s-early 2000s, in that it felt appropriately scientific yet easily digestible.

I feel like combining infrastructure quality and traffic is a weird/problematic choice.

California has tons of roads and the quality of the pavement isn’t that bad. There are just too many people driving on them mindlessly. Roads generally aren’t the cause of traffic, motorists are. The access to vehicles and…

Definitely more than a few.  And I’d know - I live in CA (and on occasion am one of the a-holes).

I get it. I bought a Grom a few months ago. It sits next to my CBR1000RR in the garage. The thing with the Grom, as I’m sure is similar with any of these bikes, is that it’s so EASY to ride. My first bike was a 2004 R6 and almost every bike since has been a sportbike. I used to put 10k+ miles a year on sportbikes.…

Now do the Genesis Mint for reals!
