Third book isn't done yet. I concur with a distaste for the main character... I was able to get around it, though.

Hi Bob. Can I bum a few thousand bucks?

I removed the snarky "We're all better than you" sentiment.

"Give it another year and there will be superchargers near you."

...and have a panic attack, freak out in the air, get arrested for demanding I be sedated by the staff... not everyone loves to fly.

Hot Coffee self-defense, FTW!!!

as long as you utilize Lithium-3-Deuteride, which is ONLY used in the atomic weapons industry, there -might- be a chance that an actual hydrogen infrastructure is plausible, but at $100k just for the materials for a decent-sized storage tank and the peripheral controls, it's not likely.

I have to drive an hour just to get Indian food... that battery would be toast within a year, I'm sure.

I want a Model S, but where I live is an issue. It's 'kinda' legal to buy one here, but the closest Supercharger is at least one state away. Were I to go to either coast, I would have to severely mangle any time constraints and add several hundred miles to the trip in order to make it happen, regardless of the fact…

Honestly, with Spacex and his Dragon V2 (I really despise the idea of the term 'V2' being associated with any kind of rocket...), his funds are elsewhere. Russia's hissy fit with the ISS may have made a window of opportunity for his Spacex venture that took precedence over any 'bonus perks' being developed for the…

since the plate was designed as a drop in amendment and made available for existing vehicles free-of-charge, I'd think the installation was/is pretty simple. The mechanism to add it into the process is likely another 'head swap' for the robotic assembly. The robots in the factory multitask a great deal of the time and…

Honestly, I think the development of a swapping station for anything but fleet operations is a waste of money. Musk is going to be making batteries soon. Not just for Tesla, but for Panasonic and any other company that comes along.

right now, I firmly believe all future wars will be fought with cell phones and garbage... and the internet.

So, you're not using a free appliance because why? It's 'over the top'?

I wonder if one could use a bubblejet printer filled with an aqueous solution of graphite oxide with a Bluray laser fitted to the printer head to '3D print' graphene...

does one really need to consider Steve Buscemi's death in ANYTHING to be a spoiler? He is almost on par with Sean Bean...

all Trans Ams are Firebirds, but not all Firebirds are Trans Ams.

having spent a bit of time with a Geordie, I can honestly say that is not the case.

...but thoroughly entertaining, nonetheless.

First thing through my mind when I read this:
"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta…
