Three out of four are bloody interesting.

150 miles?  Where the hell are getting this fucked up misinformation?

Pretty accurate statement, unless he believes all of his bullshit.

Tesla cannot survive without a ‘working man’s model’. There’s only so many people out there with $40K or above pockets. That market is now saturated. It’s time for a true middle class, family/commuter car.  Yes, I know it’s been said many times...

So, no post elimination on social media based on public health or safety from these buffoons?  It would be justified in the name of public good.

Whether or not it gets fixed, be proud that it worked for almost half a century in space. 

Unfortunately, there still are older buildings built to old ideas and zero seismic codes, sitting around waiting to be upgraded. It’s just bad timing. The construction design in the Northridge Meadows collaspe during that earthquake was banned many years ago, but there still are a fair number of that apartment design

I don’t know of anywhere where the fire code doesn’t say to not chain tanks and cylinders to a wall, even non-flammable ones.  It’s just a plain safety issue, earthquakes or not. 

Loma Prieta?  That was only 6.9.  

Trivia: New York State has one of the busier seismic retrofit programs in the country, quietly going about, with some people not too aware that it’s happening, because of rare but expected incidents just like this one.

Hey, I’m not that old, but with crappy vision, those small buttons are almost a hazard.  They require too much time to find, focus on, and utilize, time that your eyeballs should be on the road. 

A civil war/insurrection ala The Handmaid’s Tale is more believable, as we already are living in a post global pandemic world and have a fervent fundamentalist religious movement in this country aligning itself with nationalism. What else would you expect to happen when you have a collection of heavily armed, poorly

What could possibly be left in the storyline universe to tell?

For the sake of the country and the earth, can we just deport this guy and be done with it?

Some social engineering to correct the failings of the past and clean up pollution and waste. Make the drive through smaller to limit vehicle size. No more brodozzers and the problems they create in society.  Thats one problem solved.  Touchscreens can already be made waterproof and fast food staffs already go around

You noticed that little business model trick.  All of your cars have separate insurance costs but you can only drive one at a time, which brings up the question of why you’re paying for something that’s not being used.  

The EV market simply attacked the high end market first, more money to be made.  Only so many rich people.  That market is now saturated.  Time to cater to us poor folks. 

You nailed it. They chased hydrogen fuel cells for how many years, ignoring pure EVs? Come on, be honest, tell me how many years they wasted time? When they saw the writing on the wall, they fell back to a ‘50% there’ platform, their already existing hybrid lines. That’s a last second panic move to stay relevant

Easy. As I write this, it is stardate -298666.6. Works on the moon and in the general neighborhood of the galaxy.

Combined with really hot days, I remember getting double walloped by the heat and the fumes while on the ride. I’d come off and feel like puking in the bushes.  Going electric is probably long overdue.
