Seriously. My wife is not interested in games at all, other than Words With Friends. Oh well, she gives me time to enjoy my games.

That's a temporary thing. This car is two years out anyway. Besides, once electric car design and "refueling" get fully worked out, I'd rather have an electric car for many reasons besides just to avoid buying gas: mechanical simplicity, very low ride noise, instant torque, and no shifting, to name a few.

We shouldn't be heralding anything a Tesla fighter until it is being offered for sale. So let's discuss again in two years.

I'm still experiencing intermittent problems with Xbox One Live services and GTA V Online. Had issues last night. I'm not sure if it's related to the attack but I suspect it is. This is bullshit, and it sounds like it's going to get a LOT more common.

Games may take almost as much time to load as last gen, but the graphics assets are 4x as big. I'm pretty happy with the performance of my Xbone.

100% agree. And not only that, but Tesla's second generation car (The Model S) won Motor Trend Car of the Year. Not because it was electric, but despite it (in their words). And many other accolades from similar respected magazines.

Folsom, California (near Sacramento). I know a business owner on a major street corner who watches them do it all day long.

In the late 80's I owned one of these.

It's true. My '82 Mercury Capri 5.0 (Mustang clone) pumped out a blistering 180 hp. But oh the torque!

"Saving money on maintenance and gas" and the tax credit might be sufficient excuse to stretch an 80k car budget to 100k to get a well-equipped Tesla, but it's just that: a justification. Most of us shouldn't spend more than 30-40k on a car and, for us, there is no justification to get a Tesla. In 5 years I'm…

We ought to ground all airplanes and give everyone horses and buggies to get around during the next holiday season. That'll give all the whiners some perspective.

The only time clapping on landing makes sense is if (1) it was a successful emergency landing or (2) extraordinary weather conditions.

bastard ;-)

Honest question about the law on this (I live in California): If my smartphone is mounted on my dash next to my wheel, and I come to a light and check something on the phone (Twitter, etc.), is it legal? I'm not holding the phone.

Um, wut?

In my town the motorcycle cops nail people like for using their phones at red lights all the time. They lane-split their way to the front of the line at the red light and catch people in the act. They use regular marked motorcycles, but it hardly matters, because the scofflaws aren't paying attention anyway.

It happens in America but it is FAR more prolific in Australia, Germany, and other places in my experience. The level those countries take it to would create serious backlash here.

I reluctantly have to disagree with you. The law is clear. Also, way too many people miss green lights because of their phones. It's annoying and disruptive to traffic. Anyway, one thing I've found personally is a red light may SEEM long but the minute you try to do anything on your phone (read a text, make a post,…

I'm also a serious airplane geek. I sat in the drivers seat of a 757 at an air show once. Other than that, I scratch my itch with RC flying, PC simulators, the occasional Cessna flight with pilot friends, and the Internet. I'm still amazed every time I stop to think about how these huge, heavy machines full of 100s of…
