To to mention IT’S A LOGGING FOREST. They’re building this factory on a literal tree farm. And replacing them with 3x the number of PERMANENT trees.

2nd Gear: At least one of the two “environmental groups” are shills for the oil/gas industry. The complaints were completely bogus and had more to do with obstructing Tesla and obstructing BEVs in any way possible. REAL environmental groups are actually in favour of what Tesla is doing.

And if you look on Google Earth’s history, you can see it being harvested before, as recently as 2017

Neutral: It’s the apocalypse. Who the fuck is ‘buying’ a car?

Reverse: It’s less of ‘cars are older than you think’ than ‘ridesharing is older than you think’.

2nd Gear: Tesla Gets Approval To Chop Down A Forest

OK, and I can not stress this enough, Boomer.

I love how in your artificial disdain about Tesla cutting trees, you completely forget to mention they’ll be planting 3x as many trees they’re cutting down.

And they’re planting 3 times as much forest area as they’re knocking down! It’s a ridiculous lens on it here.

I mean, Musk is right; a monoculture grove of trees planted to be harvested as cardboard stock isn’t the same as bulldozing the Amazon. This isn’t old-growth forest. How many times has Volkswagen cleared trees to build a factory without a peep from anybody?

I struggle with the knowledge that anyone ever found Ace Ventura Pet Detective funny, and while I love Dumb and Dumber, I’m far more likely to re-watch The Truman Show than one of Carrey’ slapsticks.

Whether E3 is dying or not, less Keighley always seems like a good thing...

Hey dumbass, try Google:

So You’re just going to completely ignore the concept of a neural net?

I mean, humans seem to have done just fine for the 99.9% of our history not personally piloting motorized vehicles.

I don’t care if an autonomous car sucks at driving.

Machines don’t get drunk.

Nothing could be done? HE WAS LIVING IN A DORM ROOM. 

Ugh, no. She knew who Jeffrey Epstein was, and she took his money anyway. She is defending Andrew as the best man she knows, all while she knows he is shady as hell. She is all about how to get money and status for herself. I do think that back in the day the tabloids treated her badly, but she is not a good person.…

The issue is that the 5th pull is over 6 seconds on the Tesla and still under 3 on the Porsche. This means that as you go about your day of driving your ability to merge, overtake and calculate distances is different while still being in the same car.

FYI, despite owner claims, gasoline cars also dramatically lose efficiency at those speeds.  Most graphs show around 50 mph as the most efficient speed.... and then wind resistance starts becoming a bigger factor as speed increases.
