To be honest, if it was Hillary I would be laughing even harder. 

“he is right, anyone could have hit that with a car that size.”

Having a large car isn’t a free pass to run shit over. Don’t get something bigger than you can handle and keep control of your vehicle. It’s that simple.
Did he cause any real damage? Not really. But he still should have better control and be more careful. He was doing  PR stunt taking it out, and he fucked it up.

You sound like one of those people who cries about how fuel injection ruined cars.

Neutral: Absolutely. I won’t buy anything short of a plug in hybrid, if not a full on EV. I have free charging at work and planning electric upgrades at home, so it’s a no-brainer.

Lack of trust is definitely the problem (not that government has earned trust). This program in itself shouldn’t be objectionable, but the fact that the government has abused info in the past without, and worse, refuses to be open about what it is doing with data means that people (not unreasonably) react with…

It bothers me for a few reasons, not the least of which is that facial recognition doesn’t work.  We can make jokes about it; but last years event where 30% of Congress critters tested were misidentified is bad.

But they will.

On your knees peon.

so explain the bulletproof windows then, dipshit. just so you know, Ballaban didn’t ask you the question that you’re tired of answering and i’m tired of reading.

Tooling is expensive, but it’s not much per vehicle when amortized over a production run. This body is cheaper to make one, but wildly more expensive to make, say 100,000. Every unibody vehicle in production today has stressed panels, and they don’t use 3mm thick stainless. 3mm of stainless is wildly more expensive…

Tesla already owns production lines with all the systems you're claiming they're avoiding. Your argument fails both the smell test and any application of Occam's Razor. 

This, I suppose? This problem was solved 75 years ago.... Musk seems intent on re-solving issues put to bed by real car companies decades back. It’s unclear why other than??? ADHD?

I like a lot of the engineering ideas this truck has - namely the air suspension to lower it for the 99% of road driving this will see as well as making it easier to load and a stressed skin structural design.

Do not insult the F-117

Which is why pretty much everyone who has ever done metal work and every vehicle with flat panels puts bends in the panels... One bend strengthens the panel immensely.

That’s “Carolina Squat” mode.

She was just looking for new opportunities to mention she went to Stanford.

I also vibrate like crazy with mechanical stimulus

Just sayin’.
