Well people who take cruises are old and fat and diabetic so yeah they are in a pretty risky group. And there are a lot of reasons not to want COVID even if you are young. Not wanting to spread it to your friends and family who may have higher risk. Not wanting long term damage to lungs, heart, & other organs. Not…

The risk of death isn’t zero no matter your age and health status. Low, but not zero. Feel lucky?

I can’t take credit for this... someone else posting as ‘Kachuks’ posted it on another forum, but I agreed there, so I’ll forward it here.

Interesting Venn diagram there.

You are assuming that people that don’t wear masks are wearing their seat-belt.

Thanks to Sturgis, those wypipo of like minds are all going to win Darwin Awards this year.

The Albon episode was great! A real highlight of the season. 

I’m happy we’re moving towards autonomous driving. I would love to have my car drive my commute for me, even though it’s now under 20 minutes, and not two+ hours. I fully understand that the spectacular failures of autopilot we see are edge cases.

Good catch on the power. Also, I don’t think there ever was a Turbo S non-hybrid with the 4-liter V8, so this car would have to be based on the “regular” Turbo.

+10 stars for the champagne spilling time bonus

Yeah that part stood out to me too. I checked on the website and they say that for the production car classes (everything except racing cars, special vehicles and prototypes) the cars need to pass “[s]crutineering regarding a vehicle’s series-production state”, but who knows what the rules are regarding engine tuning…

According to other articles, other than the racing seat and the roll cage, the rest of it (tuning and tires) will be offered for sale that way. And the rear seats *do* recline, but I don’t think they had an exec attempting to put away any bubbly during the test.

The whole 1984 angle and having all of this response prepared in advance really put a sour taste in my mouth. Trying to create this weird public discourse and use your arguably easily-influenced fan base to try and get what you want is...I mean, it’s on brand but it’s really gross. The extremely public and…

I wonder if it’s ever occurred to climate scientists that that massive effort to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s to stop acid rain has had a warming effect?

How may crashes are there per 100 million miles? Without context of death rate in accidents the numbers don’t mean much for car safety.

They took a page from early Apple and brought quite a bit in house.

To give credit where it’s due, Tesla have worked relentlessly on efficiency. I imagine that every single one of its systems are optimized for efficiency. Those retractable door handles are the most visible example, but the entire vehicle contributes to those numbers.

Everyone talks about range, but what about charging infrastructure and time convenience?

Slavery was a legal action under law too...

Perelli is not to blame. At all.
