My mother would as a Real Estate agent. Typically it would be people looking over the border in SC when she was in Charlotte. It wasn’t often, but it happened.

Never said only Elon.

You mean the people in the 8,000 jobs created by SpaceX in the United States? Just like the 48,000 American jobs created by Tesla or 21,000 by Paypal? These companies didn’t spontaneously exist.

I KNEW IT WAS YOU FROM THE TITLE!

I read your stuff and felt it reasonable.

More energy density would be serious competition as well. The question would be the life cycle of the cells.

The question here is how are they doing it? If it’s a bigger battery, then this car must weigh more than an APC. If it’s the same size, then Tesla has got real competition on their hands.

Rivian is the only company worth considering. And mainly because it’s backed by Amazon.

I cannot believe that BMW, Mercedes, VW and so on whom are all many, many magnitudes bigger than Tesla

Obviously, I’m writing this all in jest, and I think that’s worth pointing out.

Their cars are amazing, but everything is still on shaky ground.

I must have one of the good ones, so I can’t really comment on reliability. Maybe I’m an outlier. I HAVE heard some horror stories on Teslas. I have also heard similar stories on Porsches I owned (Although, NEVER body alignment), so YMMV. I have first experience on Audis and Jags, so fuck them and their deliciously…

I’m wondering why you didn’t bother tracing down the original maniac that did this. I mean Kanye isn’t that hard to find.

I assume the the motors are arranged via driveshafts into the front and rear diffs.

There is nothing libertarian about the Trump administration. Think more authoritarian or fascist.

Probably, the crash-worthiness was going to be significantly affected. Didn’t want to taint the rest.

Remember that the AV levels are a proposed spec since none of the vehicles have been actually been built. In theory a level 5 vehicle will never be built, because it’s level 5 until it isn’t, i.e. failure.

Dev here as well. Level 5 is achievable in less than 5 years, but there are caveats. For example, level 5 from my house to work, no. But level five from Truck depot A, less than 1 mile from i-485 to Depot B, also less than 1 mile from I-95, yes. Make no mistake, that route will be a moneymaker and other routes will…

I love Elon like family, but I still tell Uncle Bob to put his pants on when necessary.

My condolences. I know how it feels to have something you pour your heart and soul in end up destroyed. That’s why I stopped building model rockets and cooking dinner.
