This is purely because of the absolute idiotic car classification system and the resulting emission curve that the EPA set for the different car classifications.

The explosion would’ve happened later, The Doctor sped it up.

You were not the only one getting Event Horizon vibes.  I said it aloud.  “RTD just watched Event Horizon I think.  Not that this is a bad thing.

The one true Vision.

• Static inductive chargers for cars have been around for at least *10 years*. From what I read, this is what is being used as a demo with an Israeli bus system. Here’s an example marketed to for the Chevy Volt back in 2013: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2013/06/evatran-brings-wireless-charging-to-the-chevy-volt/

I am definitely going to hold my phone over one of those silver disks next time I’m over there.

Crews are going to destroy this infrastructure when it comes time to strip and repave, fill potholes, or make repairs to things like water main breaks. 

Who wants to bet that these alleged “deliveries” are still just prototypes they’re handing over to people with Tesla connections to use as long-term testers?

That is 100% it. They don’t want back-to-back or closely set races where someone could maybe go to two of the races but decide on 1. There is also some seasonality that they take into account, but not as much as keeping close locations separated. 

The schedule is so idiotic. But I think what it’s actually about (which isn’t widely discussed) is avoiding saturation in any single market to maximize income. Say, for example, that all the races in North America are held back to back - Montreal, Miami, Vegas, Texas, Mexico, Brazil - in a 10 week period of time. The…

It depends what you want from a car show. I thought it strayed further and further from a show about cars, to a dick about with cars. Which was fine now and again but I did actually want to see cars reviewed.

You don’t know much about Vegas, only what the media shows you. Many people live there because of the cost of living (no state income tax being a big benefit) and many other reasons that have zero to do with the hospitality industry.

Mazda’s concept sports cars have pretty consistently been great for quite a while now (oh how I loved the Furai), and this is no exception.

No, I want this:

Its just a R34 with modern looks. The new GT-R has to be different, this is just appealing to the nostalgia.

People have always slobbered over TG, but 5th Gear was always a better show.

Was it valiant?

Eating uncooked ramen in a bag with half the seasoning packet was just a normal broke-ass day in Hawaii growing up. Funny to see this being marketed as the way that brand is meant to be eaten. Hopefully they drop the salt amount in the packet a little bit - that was a mistake you usually only did once.

I actually don’t think this is better. That front end is even more generic now, and since very little has changed after of the A-pillar, it kinda looks weird to my eye from the side.

And speaking of touchscreens; this Tesla Model 3 now has the gear selection on a touchscreen, much like the Model S and the Model X.
