I mean, this is probably the result of a failure in training or doctrine. They don’t let dummies fly planes (Italian skilifts not withstanding), so this pilot probably believed to the best of his knowledge that bailing out was the correct thing to do.

I’m not a pilot.  But this description sounds like a plane that is technically flyable, but not landable.  No communcation or navigation or instruments and flying in a thunderstorm, so no visuals either.

this doesn’t mean that military pilots should eject at the first possible sign of trouble

“The pilot incorrectly diagnosed an out-of-controlled flight emergency and ejected from a flyable aircraft, albeit during a heavy rainstorm compounded with aircraft electrical and display malfunctions.””

Not a pilot, but man I tell you what if ‘ol Sully had been there he would have landed that damned thing backwards, upside down in a tornado and not put a scratch on it, the hopped out and kissed a baby. LOL

Although this isn’t there, I am not that concerned about battery prices on older EVs.

Hell put a Toyota engine in it, likely still has the proper mounts.

Those price tags are why people are keeping their ICE Vehicles longer and just fixing them instead of diving into the EV game.

Gosh! How dare you talk about politics! What do you think this is? Some kind of democracy?

Yep. Awesome. 

Bang for your Buck, just like a Tesla!

He also said there would be a $25k Tesla for years, and just admitted it would never happen, calling it “silly”. But then a lot of his recent ideas seem pretty silly, and terrible for business.

Am I the only one that hates these slideshow articles? It reminds me of the clickbait articles that are like, “you’ll never believe what happened to so and so from that show you watched as a teen” and then it takes fifteen pages of filler material to find out they’re in jail.

I don’t want my tires to give me a bang. That is literally the opposite of their job. I want the tires which give me the least bang.

Definitely this one. The sidewalk out front my house became my road and I wore one of these out driving up and down it - on the correct side of course.

This is a minivan.

15 yrs ago, hydrogen fuel cell platforms dominated the future tech of the auto industry. remember those skateboard fuel cell platforms with motors at each wheel? the Great Depression happened. petrol got cheaper. electric motor output got much better. and battery tech improved by leaps & bounds. and then the general…
