Because then the tips never quite line up right as the exhaust moves under the car or as the exhaust hangers wear out. When the fake tips are attached to the bumper instead, they always look like they are in the right spot.

Obviously you know squat about Nevada.

At least they get overtime pay, unlike the engineers. And did he even factor in the stock options (his must be worth millions! - 1000 shares @ $30 each)

Where on earth did Tesla find experienced line workers? NUMMI has been shuttered for a long time, so unless he was bringing in people from the midwest, the majority of workers are going to be first time or pulled from other line work jobs.

For line workers? Experience doesn’t really matter. That is the entire point of line work. One guy can twist a bolt, or push a panel press as easily as the next.

6th: My local VW dealer has been passed out drunk in the park for a few months now. I don’t think he needs another.

If I was a Volkswagen board member I would sell my shit, put it in bonds and retire on the income. Then again, I’m not a money grubbing asshole that cheats government regulations.

They should have gone after the board of directors and executives, and jailed those fuckers. Less monetary damages to the company (with workers footing the bill in the long run) more punishment of bad actors.

It’s not even accidental. Musk planned that. (He wanted the 3 to be a Model E, but Ford said no.) (Also, Ford would likely block a Model T, too. But Tesla is going to make a Model Y)

I love sports broadcasts in foreign countries, but my favorite story of all time involves a friend of mine.

I was on board until I saw the two-tone paint, which can GTFAC.

Meth pipe. There’s no way I would pay that for this. It looks too kit car. Too hand built, if that can be possible. Like some guys project car he works on on the weekends.

I want Lin-Manuel Miranda to write a F&F musical. I can see it opening on Broadway now: Toretto, featuring the hit songs My Carbureter is Shot, Guns and Land-Yachts, and It’s Noisy Uptown.

To be fair, Tesla already kind of does this. When new hardware is available and they have figured out a way to run it into production cars, they don’t wait for the next model year, they just start making the better vehicles.

It’s a traaaap.

hit the nos and JUMP the roadblock Bro

Jesus dude, just get a different engine already and focus on the rest of the pieces of rust that resemble what was once a jeep.

I’m sorry, David. For all the effort you put in this rusted pile of steel, you could have eyeballed some aluminum tubes and welded yourself a custom Jeep and just bought a rear ended salvaged car from Copart for its engine.

As someone who has worked in the federal space, specifically around reporting, getting people to fill data out is a fucking nightmare.

But never assume incompetence until malice can be ruled out. People who work for government are very aware they can hide malice as incompetence for quite a while before it is found out.
