“I bought this to have fun fixing a car, but I have no idea what I’m doing.” 

And yet no regulatory agency has said Tesla’s marketing is misleading enough to change it. 

I’m old enough to remember people saying Cruise Control (and later ACC) was going to kill people left right and center.

“so I was surprised any Benz could rank above a Tesla.”

This is why I can’t get into the Avengers game. They’re all just different and yet close enough to the MCU characters that it takes me out of it entirely. 

Thing is... we closed the hole in the ozone layer (well, it closed itself, but we also stopped putting CFCs in the atmosphere that were opening it in the first place) and acid rain isn’t nearly as much of a problem now because they were real, tangible impacts of humans on the environment.

Leave him. 

Wrong door handles. Those are for the Model S, which present the HANDLES. On the Model X, the door itself opens. 

It’s 100% no dice, even IF you want a Tesla.

“ You’re also beholden to daddy Tesla where they can go in and blacklist your car for future updates, ability to get parts, and ability to use things like superchargers if they see something they don’t like about you or the car itself.”

They’re not handles. They’re buttons. And the driver door self presents when you walk up anyway.

There’s very few places he could go without extradition treaties:

Catching COVID is worth it, let’s be clear. Unless You’re in a high risk group (which includes... ahem... many, many Republicans) the risk to Your health is worth it for America.

Looking at his body language, at the way he closes his eyes and his shoulders drop slightly, he feels defeated. His bluster is showmanship to save face. I think if he gets a chance to get out, he jumps. I genuinely, honestly, don’t think he expected or wanted to win in 2016. His acceptance speech is like “Uh. Sure, I…

I don’t generally disagree that recharge times need to be in the sub 10 minute range for 300+ miles — but we are extremely close to that from a technology perspective. I think we’ll see it within 5 years at an affordable level.

If you had a 91 octane fuel pump in your garage, would you care?

“The moment I heard that Tesla’s new plant construction was going to involve cutting down some forest outside Berlin, I knew this was going to be a shitshow. Germans love their forests,”

I dig the look. I do not dig the interior. 

It’s also 9x more than most people need on a daily basis. 

First, I’m glad a Halo movie didn’t happen. I think someone realized it wouldn’t make enough people happy enough, so they chose to do nothing, instead of deliver something sub-par. It’s also very likely most studios would have changed the final product enough to where Bungie (at the time) and later 343 were…
