Actually I’m totally on board with your complaint *because* of the suspension of disbelief. To have this inane and ridiculous battle resolved due to Anakin being 3 feet higher is totally the one thing that causes the house of cards to come raining down. 

It’s so ridiculous,  I don’t even know where to start. Maybe it was a joke that he was amazed that people were believing? I’m thinking people saw the picture, made the assumption and he just went with it. *sigh*

“also has to be a better sports car than the Porsche 911.”

Wait, is that is what is happening in that picture? I always thought it was just a comparison truck hanging out in the background, not that it was literally sitting in the bed of the pickup truck.

WHY IS THIS NOT ON NP/CP???? WHY

“This brings up an excellent point, however. How would one pull over a self driving car if it did not have an operator aboard?”

They are next in line to write the next Star Wars trilogy- so I think they just personally just ran out of time for the series.

The depreciation on this is glorious. NP for someone sinking all that cash and the next owner making out like a bandit. 70% depriciation! That’s like a $25,000 2011 car going for $7,500. NP. 

Carrying your luggage when 41 people died. Even worse.

DONT WE ALL

Don’t forget:

Or!

I’m thinking it’s just going to be an Ecosport with bench seats, AM radio and no AC. Disruption!

If a bunch of people drop off these scooters on your property, why not have someone take them away? The concept is pretty sound. While the company seems pretty shady, if someone were run a towing company above the board (i mean yeah it’s like a 1% chance, but still), theoretically it should be ok.

Then I’m mystified at why no one his beating Tesla on range yet, since that would be the way to start shifting the market away. Why is Audi rolling out a $70,000 SUV with 200 miles of range? It looks like Porsche understands this and is going to have long range models and quick charging. But for luxury vehicles the…

If this were near me, I would buy it to replace my wife’s manual Honda Fit sport in a heartbeat. 

I would add a corollary to your comment- once the heavy hitters start pumping EVs *and roll out a supercharger style charging network*, Tesla will be in trouble.

100x this. Manufacturing scale is all about supply chain mastery. Tesla’s engineering in terms of their EV technology is head and shoulders above the competition. Look at Audi with their ETron barely hitting 200 miles on a charge. But their manufacturing supply chain is a mess, compared to any other scale…

The level of detail on Jeeps Easter Safari concepts astounds me. They are amazing. 

Tesla needs supply chain discipline and great execution to continue to be successful. Elon should move to being the visionary guru guy and let others handle everything day to day. He’s got great ideas, but his frenetic implantation and whipsawing course correction are getting to be unsustainable.
