Because there are communities wrapped around these facilities. You don’t want to be raining hot lead and aircraft parts on your neighbors.

That’s cruel and unusual punishment, man.

No, but they are the people who call the cops when the randos get out of control and keep the vagrants from pissing on/in your seat.

Nah. Issue the test driver a warning ticket and impound the car.

They’ve got one of those too, on the back pages.

You’re exhibiting far too much thought in this. The relationship between Trump and Musk is purely transactional. Much like it is between these two and anyone else in their orbits.

More like tons of $50-150K vehicles. They’re the BMW and M-B dealers around these parts.

Actually, several upmarket dealers here in South Florida build their own multilevel parking structures onsite to protect their stock from theft and vandalism. I imagine that’d serve for weather protection as well.

I’d think there’s enough historical information for what used Cybertrucks sold for, compared to what they sell for now, for an AI bot to provide an informed answer.

I never thought I’d find a use case, but this seems like the perfect opportunity to recommend:

The problem with insuring a Tesla, I imagine, is the obscene cost and delay in getting one repaired.

It’s cheap enough, and parts are common enough, to call this a Nice Price.

I guess it would depend on the accommodations. If the trappings are Fancy Kirsten-posh, $1500 a head at your convenience a few times a year is a lot cheaper than a fractional-timeshare for your own private jet.

My dad was a cabbie.

On my Windows 11 machine, I’ve taken to opening the File Manager to see the image file I want and then copy/paste into the comment like it’s text.

That’s a pretty entertaining picture. Especially because the only way you’re going to get the tail out and rear tires smoking like that is to yank the handbrake.

I’m betting on it being a guy dressed up in a silver suit. Who carries you piggy-back wherever you want to go. As long as it isn’t further than 10 steps away.

Yeah but ...
