Tesla would get a huge ROI if they spend $65K a year on a manager who’s sole job was to follow Elon everywhere with a spraybottle of icewater and blast him in the face every time he is about to say date of any sort.

*Ahem*

I expect the Russians would have similar sorts of trouble in high heat. An average Siberian summer day is in the 60-70F range. Chicago routinely gets 90F+ midsummer days.

Mr. BallOfStress’ parents were on the cutting edge of this in the early 80s it seems - huge hippies, Waldorf school, soy cheese, no tv, the whole nine yards. And of course, no vaccinations! He felt the same for Lil BallOfStress, which is why I said “Ok honey” and took her to the doctor alone to get all her bloody…

Because she’s a single woman.

If he is asleep (and not dead) then I agree that it’s ultimately his fault, but the design of the system is poor if it let’s this happen, especially because the system lulls drivers in to inattention by its very nature.

Yup, exactly right. You’ll be able to charge any car with a CCS port at these chargers (in the US, basically any car with fast charging except the Leaf (ChaDeMo) or Tesla (Supercharger) - in Europe, the Model 3 has CCS as well). The only difference is that all USB chargers are 5V, while the CCS chargers need to detect…

Many if not most people could do a week with a full charge.

Hollow, laminate door.

I was under the impression that Adam doesn’t have any black colleagues.

Sounds like something a guy from Fresno would ask for

Probably tortious interference. I’ve been sued for the same, and of course I think it was bullshit, but I try not to let it cloud my view of events like this.

It may be something on the order of facilitating someone breaking a contract. Everyone knows about the GT contracts, so Mecum agreeing to sell the cars at auction makes them liable for assisting in a breach of contract.

Ford still sued Mecum. Even when it’s a baseless lawsuit, Mecum would still have to pay lawyers to make it go away, and those costs add up fast, plus its a distraction when they have hundreds of other cars to promote and sell, maybe they figured it wasn’t worth the 10% they stood to make off the car so decided this…

Because 5000 people wanted the car and they were only building 1000 (forget the exact numbers so please don’t get pedantic in the replies), so Ford went out of their way to make sure that the people getting them actually wanted the car and were not just looking to make money flipping them.

Yes, unless you signed a contract stating that you won’t. I mean, it’s still yours, and you can still sell it, but you’re now in breach of contract.

Not if you agree otherwise in the purchase price. This happens all the time with property - historically significant buildings, or neighborhood associations can be required to maintain certain colors and looks. Or if there’s an easement of covenant against it benefiting a neighbor you might not be able to restrict…

Operator let his emotions get the better of him.  There is no excuse for this.  He could have saved an enormous amount of wear and tear on the tracks and idlers if he took 2 seconds to stabilize himself with the blade before having a go at the doors.  Equally, if he was working from a stable platform, he could have…

I disagree, slightly. Cadillac’s problem is that there is no logical reason to pick their vehicle over a BMW, Lexus, or MB as they are at the same price point.
