If anyone here were short $TSLA, they’d be very happy people, and encourage Elon to continue to act like this, and tank his stock 6%+ overnight. It’s the people holding calls who should be very upset.

My guesses for the 3mm CRES are 1) To be more dent resistant (which will stick out like a sore thumb on a flat surface in the light at even modestly oblique angles), 2) Carry more shear loads (as skins on panels do) so that they: 3) Reduce buckling without adding additional stiffeners. Skin buckling, structurally, is…

What do you hope to learn? That French cars are shittier than American cars? That has been the case since the invention of the car...

Another win for OTT.

Blaming the worker for defects is the worst quality cop-out you can do, and reflects zero desire to find true root cause and develop a proper corrective action. You must always ask “why.” Why did the defect occur? The more you ask why, the more you reveal weakness in your production system, and thus, management. Smart…

Or you could get a Toyota Tacoma for about 2/3rds the price, with future options for twin turbos OR a centrifugal supercharger from OV Tuning. Magnuson is making one too but they are not very far along.

You seem to think that the government is the only one that can improve air quality, therefore they are the only ones to which we can give money to fix air quality. If you can’t separate free market solutions from government mandated solutions, we are truly done.

On the contrary, I place a great deal of value on air quality. I do not think the government owns the air so why should I pay them for it? Or rather, why would I think it is ok for them to take my money under threat of imprisonment for a resource they don’t, can’t, and will never own?

France, do you want more Brexits? Because this is how you get more Brexits.

Driving is very much a privilege and not a right in the US.

Faith in government restored +0.000001%. Still a long way to go, but it is progress.

Refusing to pay extra for climate change is not free-riding. Using roads and not paying for them is free-riding. I already pay for roads. I also pay for a ton of other useless government shit that I can’t control because they steal my money to pay for them.

Thank you for accurately describing the Free-Rider problem of non-excludable goods and services and why they are a problem.

How about fuck your taxes.

War good because orange man bad, amirite?

Is it just me or does the side profile look like a Mustang?

OH. Oh my.

100%. A literal holocaust is occurring and no one gives a flying fuck because money.

Now do China.
