I think we’re still at the point where autopilot is helping the stock price, not hurting it. There are still investors that will demand you shutup and take their money if you simply imply that AV tech is “getting close”. That combined with the charging network probably insulates the stock sufficiently.

Wait? Bragging about 0.375 drag coefficient? A Lexus GX470 is 0.38....

The best wings I ever had were Korean chicken wings. I’ve had Federal Donuts (Philly place) Korean fried chicken, which is rightly famous. But the best were from a place in Philly called Cafe Soho. Double-fried. The glazed skin cracks when you bite down. They have incredible sauces. Instead of celery, they have this…

exactly! I do love the vegetarian burger at the Cheesecake Factory. It does not taste or look like beef, but it is delicious in every way.

Sure, they have to cough up $1,000,000 just as an entry fee per car, add in all the team/chassis/operations costs it’s certainly not trivial to just add a car. But yes, they do it. 

We should increase the sentence for the latter then. We’ve seen the damage that intentionally crashing even a small aircraft can do if you fuck up, and then to compound it by orchestrating a cover up when caught, yeah, that deserves being nailed to the wall over.

They are entirely missing it with the new design language. Nothing looks good and it all looks like a CLA, just resized.

Petersen is my favorite, been a couple times. Just went earlier this year to The Vault, and their Tesla exhibit was also very cool (where they have Cybertruck, Cyberquad, Roadster, Semi, and all the other stuff)

it even has a “cute” name! 

The cars might have been mediocre, but there’s no denying their excellent design provenance. This might have been the last real shout of the carrozzeria doing regular cars.

Chrysler around this era. The cab forward sedans, the game-changing Ram design. So many design hits in the 90's.

It’s a given to mention most performance cars today, but if you ask me, anything that can absolutely pummel through anything at high speed. That’s the big performance SUVs and trucks like the Ford Raptor, Ram TRX, G63 AMG, etc. But one thing I’m particularly concerned about is the Hummer EV, which is pretty…

The Z1-F1 connection is amazing! Gordon Murray commissioned the V12 from BMW and he must have grabbed the Z1 headlights on his way out. Quite a level-up from the Hamburger taillights in the McLaren F1 prototypes, shared with many British trucks from the 70s and 80s.

I seem to remember reading that’s pretty much what happened.

The Countach rear end looks like it was designed to take a sexy, curvaceous, custom taillight, but they ran out of money to build it and so just threw some generic square lights in the space.

Many a Ferrari/Lamborghini borrowed various lights from Alfa’s and Fiats over the years

Not a sports car, but UPS trucks have Olds Alero headlights if memory serves.

If the eyes are the window into one’s soul, the headlights are similar in their impact on the character of a car’s design. 

Not sure if liveries count, but the 917/20 ‘Pink Pig’ Porsche entered in the 1971 LeMans was fabulous...and also kinda ugly, but in that so-unique-its-great way.
