Elon Musk has claimed a cost of $62 million per launch in the past

Considering how Starlink satellites are ruining Earth-based astronomy:

I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about this game. It looks cool, and I’ve always been a fan of the GRID series so I guess it’s going on my list. Being able to drop in and out of races sounds fantastic, especially if you get disconnected mid-race.

Elon reminds me of when my (then 4 year old) nephew went through a phase where he told everyone “You’re a little bitch guy.”

hes a child begging for attention.  i cant believe he and his fanatics had conniptions because the president wouldnt say their name.  

Friend. That’s not all there is to it. Can you imagine the product liability risk this eposes them to?  

So you’re that bean counter the engineers always blame when someone dies because something was under-engineered?

Build quality aside, my fear is that they’ll begin to institute “user subscription fees” for everything from turn signals to radio station presets. While other carmakers may consider some of this, too, I fear Tesla will run this scam far in excess as other automakers.

And if Tesla runs into battery or motor supply issues, they’ll just supply Peugeot 4-cylinder petrol engines. No one will be the wiser.

Just imagine what repair costs are going to be when these cars start to get older. Even simple issues are going to require multiple diagnostic trees depending on which variant you have.

Ask one of those engineers how they feel about removing a ‘redundant’ safety system from a device that directly impacts the health and safety not only of the user but the people in the immediate vicinity.

Just ask.

Because if there’s one thing the average driver is much better at doing it’s patching a tire compared as opposed to changing one out.

I’ve said it before in the comments of another article and I’ll say it again here: Tesla’s shenanigans are going to eventually affect the resale value of its vehicles. Consumers are going to wise up to the growing list of mid-year tweaks, and realize that you have to know the build date of the car to know if you’re…

A company that shipped cars with parts sourced at the local Home Depot would do this? I am shocked, shocked I say.

I’m no fan of the Taycan but what exactly makes it a “shitty-ass car” in your eyes?

So, are you going to add in an addendum about how the mayor of Rotterdam has said no decision has actually been made and this probably won’t actually happen, like the article you linked actually says? I know rage gets clicks, but come on, have some integrity.

That’s not the problem at all - people want to buy Subarus. The problem is that they can’t, because Subaru can’t build enough to satisfy demand. 

Re Neutral: Had the freezing rain and sleet on Thursday, added up to about 3 inches of bullshit. Fun times.

You say changes need to be made to make the racing more appealing and then the article ended. Should we expect another article where you might, I dunno, actually suggest some changes?

I have no idea if Engine Masters is on Saturday mornings but I defy you to class that show as an infomercial. Half the time I have no idea WTF they are doing but damn they seem to know their stuff.
