In case anyone cares, this is my 1500th post here on these good Jalopnets. Thanks everyone for reading. 

As much as I would love to see Trump in an orange jump suit, I sometimes think it will never happen. The slimy orange snollygoster has avoided jail time all his adult life. Plus I can never see anyone in government, of whatever party, ever allowing a former president to serve time. Sadly, those in power won’t let it…

If you really want to get into how a race car works, Milliken & Milliken wrote the book on that. Here’s a link to Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, the book that was the bible of race car design in college.

Not really a classy reaction from Elon, tbh.

The features were still on the car when the owner bought it. They didn’t disappear until he got home and updated the software, which was when Tesla’s software audit actions took effect. So he bought a car with those features, then those features were removed. The car was sold to the dealer as having those options,…
