It looks like you’ve got a couple of cushion-on-plywood benches to sleep on, and that’s it.  This thing looks like it was made for Instagram.

One positive side to the pull-out from Afghanistan is that we must have some under-employed drone pilots ready to take care of these situations.

Primer

People in the Bay Area were calling Model S’s the “camry of palo alto” back in 2015. I guess this makes the Model 3 a “corolla (tercel?) of palo alto”.

oops left off White and white

There maybe specific models of Toyota or Honda that come in nice colors, like a Hakone 86 or a special-edition Civic R, but generally you get Hondas and Toyotas in Black, Grey, Silver, Gray, Silver, grey, silver, Red, and Dark Blue.

Yeah we’ll get a rail system like China’s once the US Government says, “Oh your $5M property in Connecticut is in our way. Here’s $100K and a 2 bedroom apartment in the Bronx. Get out in 6 months or we’ll put you and your family in jail.”

Wow those guys must have been super bored to stop working and watch a tow truck picking up a car that wasn’t even wrecked.

Now that is a bad design... sounds just about right for a VW/Audi.

thanks for keeping the conversation going even if we disagree :)

“They are... your media is not covering it.”

What’s hilarious is that Berkeley *banned* natural gas in new homes before they even scrapped their single-family zoning rules.

Manchin drives a Levante — does he have no taste?

If a vaccine mandate caused these airline shortages, then why aren’t these airlines still in complete disarray? Were they able to replace all these employees within a couple days, or did the employees get vaccinated suddenly...? Was it just a coordinated (but extremely secret) one-day protest against the mandate?

Just wait until they get a hailstorm.  Then dealers will only be able to add 10% to the MSRP rather than 30%!

State of the art semiconductor fabs cost $10-20B and years to build. GM’s profit for 2020 was $6.4B, in comparison.
