There is no chance of my watching a 23-minute YouTube video, but I would’ve loved a longer article that summarized what he went through because it’s a topic I’m definitely interested in.

“Those folks are either downright delusional or their bosses are dumb as bricks.”

As a designer myself, I can’t think of anything less elegant and less creative than just scaling up the kidneys until they become naked mole rat teeth. So no elegant creators that I know would want to be seen anywhere near the heaps of fugliness that is any new BMW.

I’ve never been able to find a Ford Lately, so no.

I, too, have two cars with pop up headlights. I agree that retracted headlights are the best. 

I bet they gave him a stern torquing to.

It’s like the first time someone sucks your toes. At first you’re like, “No way man, sucking toes is weird as hell. I’m not trying to kink shame, but you’re not doing it to me.”

Even more impressive when a physicist-CEO design a car.

No, he’s saying that in different thermal environments, the two materials will expand at different rates, yielding gaps where there should be none.

While I take issue at many of Tesla’s business practices, the Man/Alien himself tends to come across pretty good most of the time. Disregarding Twitter.

This is the Elon I like to see. Less drama, more science, and ....humble?
Also, reading this article felt like reading Popular Science articles from the 90s-early 2000s, in that it felt appropriately scientific yet easily digestible.

OK, as a Canadian, I think I can help with this.

No.

I love how nicely this plugs into the generic NP/ND comments we get on Jalopnik:

I couldn’t help but wonder if this was a “with racing in mind” decision. I’m not sure if track day was a thing when these cars were produced, but maybe it was for either 1) the driver estimating how many more laps could be driven before a pit stop, or 2) fueling up “just enough” for the race session needed to…

reminds me of an old joke.

That’s easy, you make your vehicle out of the thing you’re smuggling (might not work for smuggling people).

Get a big ol’ Kenworth with an outlandish western scene painted on the trailer. Then use a 77 Trans Am Special Edition to run blocker. Keep in touch via CB to avoid those Smokeys. Then get Eastbound and down.

This one is easy - an RV filled with dorky white people:

OMG.
