If I had that kind of money to blow, I would be that nerd, as Robby The Robot is one of the coolest movie props ever made. But I’d donate it to a museum & make sure it got displayed. I couldn’t live with myself knowing I had Robby stuffed into the corner of my rich asshole man-cave.

They should have just shot the damn thing, all they’re good for is their meat

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last week the company didn’t fully grasp the extent of the issues “until quite recently.”

Jon Wagner, who joined Tesla in 2013, worked as the team leader for battery pack design engineering at the automaker and helped develop technology in the Model S, X, and 3, according to his LinkedIn profile.

My friend works in the milling shop and is pulling 5 12's and an 8 on Saturday, Non-optional.

I can’t speak for all of them, but I have a few friends at the factory and they are all putting in about 60-70+ hours/week.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Are you planning a weekend beach getaway in your Mercury Cougar XR7? I am.
