There are a LOT of buyers who don’t rate Tesla vehicles. I’m in the market for a second electric car (we already have a Leaf). There’s a lot of really interesting vehicles to choose from now - spanning the range from urban runabouts to larger sedans and “crossovers”. In Europe they have more choice than we do, but for…

The diarrhea-coloured one looks like she’s deformed.

1000% accurate. Trade shows fucking suck. Our company thinks they’re “rewards” for the staff. Far from it. People fight to NOT go unless you’re only going to walk around. Anything involving setup, tear-down or manning the booth is a pure nightmare.

Step 10 is very important and it’s the one thing almost everyone misses. 

I’m not exactly sure how to combat the scourge of high-beam misuse

Huh. Ok I guess it does. I’ve never had to power my 11 off so I didn’t know they’d changed it from just holding the lock button down.

Even more reason to not allow the control center on the lock screen :)

Just tried it on my 11Pro with latest ios - doesn’t work. It has to be unlocked to power it off.

You can’t turn the phone off from the lock screen. It has to be unlocked. This vulnerability would allow someone to turn on airplane mode which would disable “find my” and then they could poke around to their hearts content trying to get into the phone for as long as they like. Granted if people are smart and have set…

.....also every Republican.....

You can only do it on the lock screen if you’ve specifically allowed control center access when locked. Generally that’s a bad idea. If your phone gets stolen, allowing control center access on the lock screen means the person who nicked your phone can easily go into airline mode and neutralize any attempt for ‘find…

Does it come in actual colours? Or just the usual dull as fuck 8 shades of business-suit-grey, white, black and silver?

So they’re going full-circle back to 1980's videogame arcade?  Does that mean they’ll put a couple of Sega R360's in? (please please please)

This should have been emphasised far more heavily.

I did wonder about including those but in my mind “flying boat” refers to the much larger ones. Although if we go with “amphibious aircraft” then the CL-215 and 415 waterbombers fall squarely into that category.

1st gear - they ought to be OK in Utah - the legislature lighted up the noose a little here for Tesla too. These dealer franchise laws are so backwards though - they serve to do nothing other than stifle competition. Here in SLC there’s basically three families that own all the vehicle dealerships. The Miller’s, the…

Some utilitarian flying boats (technically amphibious aircraft) still exist and are used to this day, the most common being the Shinmaywa US-1A / US-2 Kai used for air-sea rescue in Japan, and the Martin Mars waterbombers in Canada (that keep being retired then re-instated).

It might equal economic collapse here in the US but having grown up in Europe, I can tell you that educated customers and ethical marketing and sales are generally not a problem in most EU countries. I’m honestly continually shocked at how dumb people are here when it comes to money, and how predatory some services…
