Horrible idea. The engine is only going to get the lightest atmospheric elements like Argon and won’t be able to sustain combustion.

Somehow I think this comment will get a lot more stars once this gets cross-posted to Jezebel.

OR smugly superior. I gave you options.

If you’re watching or not watching racing primarily because the way the vehicle looks, you’re doing it wrong.

You’re being obtuse and focusing on drag racing conventions rather than physics. Plain and simple, the Tesla acquired momentum BEFORE the Nissan meaning he had an inherent advantage and still lost. This is an indisputable fact.

Lol. I know enough about timing systems to know when one isn’t working correctly.

And it’s not just engineers either. In addition to the two engineers needed to monitor the car’s operation, you also need a refreshments vendor, a concierge, and a blogger to comment on the whole thing.

That’s where the Christian part comes in. You can make all the profit you want without paying taxes if you’re part of a religious organization.

I won’t argue with that. It was a very good evolution of their usual livery. For some reason though, I’ve always been partial to Gulf and Martini livery.

Ahh, see you misunderstood what autonomy levels mean. This is a Level 2 driverless car which means it requires 2 people to drive. Level 5 autonomy is going to be horrible because it’s just going to start to feel so crowded in there.

Martini livery is the best livery and I’ll fight you over it.

So the tire can move for a quarter second before your time starts? Seeeeems like a problem with the timing device to me.

You must not know PMs.

So their timing system sucks. Doesn’t mean he didn’t start moving prior to the light.

Oh no question. This being an atypical administration, I have to say I’m not at all surprised at Trump’s conduct in this case, but Muilenburg definitely knows better. So on one end, POTUS should be held to a higher standard, but we can’t let someone off the hook that we know for a fact wasn’t ignorant to what he was…

Look more closely. Tesla definitely jumps the light.

The Tesla even jumped the start.

No it doesn’t. When you work defense contracts, the DoD is VERY explicit about situations exactly like this. I’ve been in this exact situation several times, granted not with the POTUS, and the first thing you do is STOP the conversation to inform all parties of your presence. I’ve cutoff very high-ranking generals…

Yeah, but who trusts PMs to begin with?

Caught off guard or not, he has an obligation to either make it known that he is on the line OR get the hell out of the room. He had a chance to act and didn’t. Speaking from experience on similar programs, “I was caught off guard,” wouldn’t change anything about how quickly you were fired.
