IMSA Road America phenomenally good back in the day

“And it really shouldn’t be that way. It can’t be that way.”

I used some off-brand charger with the Tesla Chademo adapter. It was such a pain. Use app to start - plug in car - then having to actually hit a start button on the machine. It took like 3 tries for all the steps to work properly.

The rest of the charger market has REALLY bungled about everything. Unreliable payment, unreliable electricity delivery, unreliable availability. You simply can’t count on public chargers that aren’t a Supercharger. And it really shouldn’t be that way.  It can’t be that way.

Almost every slide is a an example of how these emotional support trucks cater to the aesthetic taste of ineffectual, emotionally stunted, men who are often coping with micro-phallus. And from looking at the sales numbers and highways there are a hell of a lot of them.

I mean, the structure imploded.  All the air inside had to go somewhere, which is where you get explosive effect.  Factor in the 3000°C heat generated from the collapse and you have very little remains I would think.

Built like one as well.

Apparently he left a note, so it was suicide.

That is 1/400th the pressure of the depth they were heading for. Ouch...

There’s a guy here in Texas who made a bunch of money in private equity and now spearheads a deep sea submersible research project. I want to say his sub alone cost something like $60 million to design, test and build. I saw a presentation he put on about how it was done and it’s pretty impressive. I’d LOVE to get his…

It’s this kind of hubris that bothers me the most. It’s such disrespect for the power of the ocean. Of nature. The second you don’t respect the ocean, it can kill you. Hell, it’ll do that even if you respect it’s power.

It’s fine to say say that if you jump canyons or school busses on a motorcycle but a bit worrisome if you’re a builder of submarines, don’t you think?!?  

Well, on one hand, it is the basis of any risk management system to admit that there is an accepted risk ; one could interpret his sentence on these lines.

It’s a powerful argument tool to get people on your side, despite it being a very stupid approach. You present your argument in such an exaggerated fashion that then directs the only logical response to align with your point. It’s a form of reductio ad adsurdum (appeal to ridicule). I’d wager it tends to work well on…

“ I mean if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything.”

But he was a billionaire so he was toots smarts!

“no carbon fiber sub had ever gone that deep before.”

What’s the old saying? Regulations are written in blood?

We only know about the rare instances from the loud individuals who publicly complain. After that leak of owner complaints and the methodology Tesla uses to “handle” them, I’m sure with time a more robust list of issues will be available.
