May want to opt for some better fan and radiator location/protection. Don't see those two being alive after their first impact with a rock or tree stump

You are telling me these motherfucking things are gonna charge that motherfucking car?

I got a close up of one of these earlier this summer. Very impressive.

Yeah, I'm gonna say either Musk is underselling this thing or these guys are "doing it wrong." Though it seems like a pretty legit shop and they claim to have hit the 8xx figure consistently.

I don't disagree that they're objectifying, but on the other hand, that's her career choice, and she makes boatloads of money for it.

Remember that those big engines on the Gulfstream are nearly 3 times as big, and the big cost of maintenance is replacement part cost, which as a first order of magnitude, is proportional to the size of the engine.

These aircraft will appeal to and are optimized for different markets. Gulfstream's driving principle has been to produce an airplane that can fly TEB/HND or TEB/PVG in pretty much any wind conditions, or even longer missions. If you need your airplane to regularly fly that mission with good reserves (say, a…

Brand loyalty for both Gulfstream and Dassault is high. There are ~2,200 owners to trade up into this new model. It's close enough on spec's to the (better) Gulfstream, that it will find plenty of market.

Left seaters fly with the left and right seaters with the right, regardless of yoke or stick. Most pilots learn to fly with the left from day one of flight school. The "center hand" is for the throttle(s). In a Boeing you certainly at times have both hands on the yoke, but in the stage of flying that requires the most…

and it's unlikely that any one of us will ever fly on one. a toy for the 1 percenters.

1000nm less range is the part that confuses me. Why go through all the R&D of a jet only to have it be shorter legged than the competing flagship jet. A 4 thousand mile leg doesn't have the same fuel burn as doing 2, 2 thousand mile legs (for anyone not aware jets burn less fuel up high so putting in 50% fuel in a…

The sheepskin decelerates and muffles the wind from the pilot's anus so as not to disturb the passengers.

Cheaper to buy, cheaper to operate, and no 4 year waiting list.

When you sit in those things for hours upon hours nice comfy fuzzy seats are worth their weight in gold.

This is also a victory for mosquitos.

It must sting a little.

I don't think anyone wanted well-tuned FWD, I think that's what people chose as the best out of very limited options in the '90s. The main reason the CA scene loved Hondas is that they were cheap, easy to get parts for, and again, cheap.

AWD was great for a while because it seemed new and different. We didn't get much…
