A lot of these are finding a whole new life today. I spend a lot of time playing with toy trains, or creating fine scale model railways depending on who you ask. Many of my locomotives are fitted with tiny speakers and even teenier digital sound systems, there are clever people who digitize these old recordings, clean…

Stop fucking with your phones, people.

“still glad I did it but wondering if that was a scam.”

Call me crazy but you shouldn’t NEED to be able to trace specific security leaks back to Musk to take action. Regular communication with a hostile foreign power should be enough to forfeit government contracts. 

I think these are both compelling offerings, but I also think the real issue here is that they are still 3 years away from being on the market. For most buyers Scout might as well be a completely new and unknown brand.

Yeah I’m a pretty big Rivian fanboy and was probably going to pull the trigger on the Gen 2 R1T next year, but... dang. This is good enough to have me wondering if I should wait even though that would mean limping my current car to 15 years and >200k miles.

Car companies are pricing themselves out of business. They’re only trying to build and sell high end/high profit vehicles and ignoring the vast majority of potential customers. Is it any wonder that Hyundai and KIA have been able to take such big shares of the market? I was visiting my mom in Texas last week and…

Hopefully this means Ford’s EV plans will factor in this competition and address it.

With that said, man this IS a pretty car. It looks like Porsche built a Model 3 out of the McLaren parts bin.

I’m sure Ford’s shareholders would rather this dude not gush about the competition, but you know what? Good for him. He’s driving the other guys’ cars and giving them an honest appraisal. I hope this car delivers some lessons for can use on their own offerings.

What’s crazier is that Apple tried it and failed and left that market. 

Small correction to the headline, but Xiaomi doesn’t build it, they contract that to BAIC who are an actual car company that has been around for decades. Still it’s kinda crazy that a smartphone company designed a car, and their first go at it is apparently really good. I wonder how much BAIC helped in that regard.

Exactly. Birthrates are decreasing and politicians know it. If women lose their access to contraception, and birth rates keep going down, we men are next. There's a reason Republicans voted down the right to contraception bill in July.…

To be fair, he’s also telling us what this system really is

Narcissism is a hell of a drug.  And that’s probably not the only drug he’s on.

Tesla recently released an updated version of the software called Actually Smart Summon or ASS

“The last thing I would do is trust a computer program,” Elon Musk at a town hall hosted at a high school outside Philadelphia

Fellas. Do you think that the folks pushing this level of surveillance on sexual autonomy are going to top with just “who cares its just women I’m not a woman whatever”?

No state has ever been able to prosecuting someone for doing something that is illegal in one state but legal in another state. If this was to be changed the amount of chaos that would arise would be very biggly.

Trump would be too busy having his diaper changed to do it. However all the little fascists propping him up? Yeah, they would do it in less than a heartbeat.
