I’d bet at least a handful of those 70 ended up sick just by being around that many people vomiting. I imagine once the first few sick, all of the air will be layered in that smell, only increasing with each sick passenger. 

Replacing functional bridges always take a really long time, particularly as people argue about how functional the foundations are, since that is a massive cost saving. Also, getting a DOT to commit multi-year money to a functional structure over all the dysfunctional stuff becomes a very political fight. DOT budgets…

Those front-end hurdles tend to get a lot shorter when responding to a disaster, like this. I think I read in previous articles that there have actually been talks about replacing the bridge before, so there actually may be a decent amount of front design considerations already started. Either way, when DOTs announce…

but can I still return it, no questions asked?

Sounds like something that could spearhead more right to repair laws for us all. 

1000 hours of waterway cleanup for community service.

Based on the porn that ended up on his Twitter, I think he just likes sex stuff. Only normal thing about the guy. 

Per another commenter, $250k between Delta & AA to him. 

For a business, downtime to get a repair could easily be more valuable than the repair itself. Tesla is known for being quite slow with their repairs/parts, so a $200 repair could cost $1000 in down time. Tesla just handily beat almost everyone is lowest cost of ownership by Consumer Reports.

If you’re thinking of buying one, it could be a great experience to rent it for a few days just to use at home.

Something going through my windshield, especially at highway speeds. Always start to get a nervous when I’m behind someone on the highway with a poorly attached load of random junk in the bed/trailer. 

I think Final Destination did a good job imprinting that fear into an entire generation.

The lashings will continue until moral improves.

I fully agree that it is completely doable. I’ve been part of 100s designs for outdoor utility equipment in multiple states. The cost/care a company is willing to put into it makes a big difference and Tesla is the one who put the most into it. Now Elon kicked out everyone in that chain of command and I have little…

That was my first thought. The word “crew” does a lot of lifting when that crew is 1 or 2 people. They probably got docked for a late arrival, too.

You cannot compare something that sits out for public use versus an appliance in a personal garage. The wear and tear on that public item will be 100x worse and the variety of vehicles using it with all different software means they have to work for everyone all the time.

Very much this. A more accurate headline would be “a group of assholes circling a car cause the self-driving system to malfunction”

If they would have trained it based on Florida driving, it would have just plowed through all of the riders.

I have coworkers that have done various electric sites from the design side. I’ve also bid multiple Tesla projects, either directly from them or indirectly from their expansions. The Supercharger team is (was?) the only functional team they have, everything else is chaos. The Superchargers are also more reliable and…

The header image should have been that gif of Bender laughing, then saying “oh wait, you’re serious, let me laugh even harder”
