1st Gear: Response from the late Marchionne in February 2017 about why Ferrari will never build an SUV: “So ... we have to be sufficiently disciplined not to bastardize the brand and take it to places that it’s never been, and where the DNA gets effectively obliterated by the technical requirements of the car.”

Let’s do some quick math here compared to a thrifty gas-powered taxi vehicle. Say, a Prius.

Even worse. Not just linking Your company, when they own the majority share, it’s Their company. 

I’m very conflicted on Lucid. I love the idea of 400+mi of range in a high-performance non-tesla sedan, and the car is beautiful. However, they sold a majority share to the Saudi Government, and quite frankly I do not wish to give money to people who kill opposition journalists and oppress women, not to mention their…

Did batteries become harder to swap because it was no longer a design intent since quick-battery-swaps was a dead idea, or did quick-batter-swaps become a dead idea because it got harder to swap batteries? I have an inkling it was more of the first, and less of the second.

Yes, CP was such a disaster that it sold over 13 million copies in two weeks and has a 85 Metacritic score (PC version, of course). People like to pretend that CP is some unmitigated disaster like Duke Nukem Forever or Daikatana when the reality is that it’s a good, albeit unpolished, game that was a commercial…

I realize he doesn’t have an engineering degree, but the man is an engineer in my eyes. As I understand, he helps solve technical problems by offering his insight, just as an engineering manager does.

How quickly we all forget

1. Hydrogen cars are EVs. Hydrogen cars are FCEVs as opposed to BEVs.

I’ve read the reddit post with the devs statement about the situation but I still think they made the wrong choice by publicly cutting ties with Alec so soon after the allegations came out, yes they say there was already history of Alec being unstable but by their own admission they didn’t know about how abusive he…

And this is the inherent problem with China. They have zero innovation in pretty much any industry, especially tech. Part of this comes from communism stifling free thought and individual creativity, but really, as a country they pegged themselves to be the cheap labor force and manufacturers for the world’s biggest…

Look, she definitely tossed that cat a bit rougher than I would have but if you’ve ever owned a cat, you know it was just fine.

This....seems like a weirdly plausible scenario :(

If somebody stole it they probably opened it at home, realized it was some dumb card and just tossed it in disgust.

Best observation I read so far. Musk was doing her a solid. 

So he got arrested for posting fake news about a cosplay event, out of all things. Damn, China’s hardcore but on the wrong things.

You’ve clearly never played golf on a municipal course. Far more blue-collar workers playing golf than rich people.
