came to say this. Also... someone donated $2001 to prevent him from showing up as the top donor. That’s some next level trolling.

That gall has earned him $22k and counting. I’d at least like to see a picture of the car damage which he doesn’t even show on the site.

This guy still can go through insurance, and likely will, so he wins twice. Then he will sue the owners of the Tesla, AND the rental car company that he got it from, AND the event organizers (sorry Alex Choi), and likely get a settlement from some, if not all of everyone associated with this.

I’ve sen an EQS in person and it looks better than I thought it would. Still a little generic, but not as massive as it looks in pictures.

I actually applaud this. “Yes, I’m charging more because everyone wants this, so I’m marking it up by this much.” “Market adjustment” is so passive. “Oh no the big mad market is making me adjust this price! You should feel bad for me!”

I’m fine with having a different model name for the EV variants because they are completely different models on different platforms, vs. BMW’s approach. But the naming convention is just dumb. EQS EQE EQC EQG just word salad, and falls apart literally with the 2nd “S” model introduced. so instead of the S Class and…

Those are more like the central CT “Steamed Cheeseburgers” like Ted’s. Louie’s does that whole “vertical grilled” thing with white bread, which is still weird but at least is not wet.

He’s trying to cover his ear because a gunshot in an enclosed space is incredibly loud, but I agree, he looks hilarious.

I believe Tesla’s current warranty for the battery for the model S is 8 years, 8 150,000 miles. That is for the battery only. The rest of the car is under a more standard 4 year 50,000 mile warranty.

In order for full self driving to deserve being called “Full Self Driving”, It is all and exclusively about the edge cases, full stop. Want to call it Full Highway Self Driving?

It’s like making it Porsche 911 with all that weight hanging off the rear!!

I think the 25mpg was for his proposed 4-banger swap.

People are going to buy it because of its looks, but it might be the biggest solution searching for a problem that ever existed in automotive form. It’s hard to see how many of the unconventional design features actually make it a better truck.

Apologies for our hyperboles talking past each other! I’m a fan of both!

False. Jason Torchinsky has ignited the flames I never knew I had for side repeaters, oddly placed engine components and window glass that I never knew I had.

THIS!! Thank you. I wonder if future electrified commercial aircraft would  be lifting bodies with massive ducted fans and a ton of internal area dedicated to batteries. 

Given the amount of safety built into aerospace regulations, I’m sure there would be backups and systems required to function in the event that the battery fails.

This!!!!!!!! There are some items that tend to not follow this where a durable good tends to last the same amount once you are at a certain basic price point. But in general, this absolutely holds true. Also for example borrowing money- a rich person can finance a car at 2-3% because they generally have good credit, a…

And what she is technically doing is being able to pull in the tax savings all into one year, rather than over the several years of a normal depreciation schedule.

THE GAP! That’s why they didn’t move when the bridge went up. They were worried they would fall through! doesn’t explain why they were there in the first place, but if they hit reverse when it started going up and saw that hole opening up?? Yeah, I would have stayed put. The increased angle actually probably allowed…
