Easily accessing frequently used symbols for technical writing and programming is one good use of it.

Because people actually drive their Ford GTs.

I think the Rivian has portal axles. They might be hard to see, tucked up high. I think I read that Rivian is using F150 bodies to disguise their test mules, so this would make sense.

Is that an F150 or a F150 body on a Rivian chassis? I think I read that Rivian is using F150 bodies to disguise their test mules.

Weasel words. Poorly worded question if a definitive answer is required. He didn’t actually say, “no, we will never sell an electric version of a Beetle.” Nor can he, he is a CEO, and would be irresponsible to disclose future product plans before they are ready. You ask these questions on the off-chance you will get…

And, instead of having power storage dangerously stored on each car, let’s deliver it to them via conductors and keep the power store above ground where it can easily be serviced and doesn’t present a hazard to the passengers.

I’m a fan of Elon Musk but this is all wrong. A subway train is a single point of failure in electric transportation with a certain probability of failure. This tunnel solution, as presented, would have hundreds of points of failure (each car in the tunnel) with their certain probability of failure. Even if the subway…

Or just drive without a front plate and pay the “fixit” fine if you ever get cited. Or! Or get one of the slick mounts that lets you slide the plate under the bumper.

I feel pretty sure he hit “record” and not “play”.

My fav:

Valvetronic is variable valve lift, not timing. VANOS is variable timing.

The fact that the body was briefly unbolted from the frame for the purpose of installing a lift does not justify calling this a “frame-up” re-build.

What if your car breaks down and you need to get out... Get out and do something useful like change a flat tire?

... is what they said when he started watching.

Nice looking but it can’t go in a microwave so not very useful for leftovers that needs reheating.
