... And yet the Indian subcontinent’s favorite sport is cricket, which is more unfathomable from a rules and scoring perspective. Overs and runs?

Cricket could definitely use more hippos.

Darnold looks like Drew on a lot of steroids and HGH.

Your almost completely ignorant take is a gross insult to Calvin and Hobbes.

Correct. Obviously the motor can’t constantly deliver torque up to the speed of light.

The flat appearance is probably due to the fact that the motor can snap the axles at lower speeds and therefore the max tolerable acceleration for the axle is maintained until the motor doesn’t have the power to overcome rolling…

It’s not just regression to the mean. I anticipate such a hard fall that it will leave a depression as you pass the mean straight into the abyss.

Oh hey, cheap car rates in Mexico Baja!

Get there: you must buy our bullshit insurance to rent the car. Or you can walk 10 miles to your hotel.

LIes, Damn lies, and accounting.

See: Enron and others.

I think the point is that “nobody will ever need more than 640k” and similar statements ignore technology improvement curves.

Self-flying, computer-detected problems and maintenance scheduling happens automatically, restrict routes above existing roadways or waterways.

The super bowl where the patriots recorded the Rams practice sessions?

About all you could do is “shift” between driving modes or regen braking modes. You could have a mode that allowed coasting or didn’t.

Oh look, possibly a rational, balanced article on Tesla.

Ohhhhh right, friday night. Dumping ground of news you don’t want people to read. Also a good night for editorial corrections, announcements of governmental malfeasance, and mea culpas. 

He may need to work on these quite a lot when the fanbase evaporates. 50% of these are from the mailbag. Well, as you say, he can just write one paragraph about the team being meaningless and go home early that day.

can’t unsee. Wait, this is wasted before the Detroit Lions WYTS!

If you’re that remote, you’re probably close to a major wind source. Put up a windmill.

Sure they are valid criticisms, but this is all garden variety growing company stuff. People pretend like he’s some aberrant dictator who is destroying America.

It is, literally, totally typical garden variety growing company pains and challenges. Talk to any CEO of a rapid growth company. Musk is doing really, really…

You’re arguing mechanical simplicity when an EV drivetrain is far simpler than an ICE? If you have portable solar cells you’ll be able to get places... eventually... for a lot longer than carting around barrels of gasoline... or your cabin can have solar in a battery and refill from there, and you never need to cart…

Um, if we have EV + multiple sources of alternative power including consumer-generated rooftop solar, then you aren’t dependent on foreign oil, then your national security has been vastly increased due to independence.

Especially since a Tesla destroys these cars off the line.

OK, how about this for judging leadership: revolutionizing the internet payment industry, the transportation industry, and the space industry?

Is that “macro” enough for you? Is that “big picture” enough? Is that “visionary” enough?

That benchmark is the number for profitability on the biggest gamble by the company.…
