Right? I can’t even travel on the same plane with more than three other managers from my company as part of their disaster plan. And I am nowhere near important to the company if something were to happen.

Well that’s a no brainer. No US president is going to be allowed to ride in an unarmored bus crammed with group of other world leaders. Don’t have to be Secret Service to figure that one out.

LOL, they should just set up their own auction company and auction off their prestige models. You know it would work for Corvette, for the first model year at least. Just set MSRP as reserve and it’ll sort itself eventually.

If anything, that would make me MORE worried since it’s built by hand by people who KNOW that it’ll be a demo/shown to the public, and they still didn’t give enough of a shit to make the panels line up.

Considering that total global greenhouse gas emissions* are 50 BILLION tons, this is less than .1%. That’s damn near a rounding error.

yes, private jets are wasteful environmentally compared to commercial travel.

that said there are good business reasons for executives to fly private instead of commercial (less total trip time, ability to work/have confidential meetings/calls during travel etc)

when your company pays $5-250M/year for your time, they…

Which leads to planes being out of position, and either dead-heading them (carbon burn for no benefit), or more cancelled flights, and so on.  

Nah, everyone here is jazzed about the Maverick and Santa Cruz with tiny beds too.

The guy is building car factories and rocket factories, not cars and rockets.

I’m pretty sure they meant “don’t open frunk >0mph” not “slam to a stop if the frunk pops”.

Commenter over there complaining about it having physical buttons. WTF? Who wants more touchscreen, especially in a rig that you’re gonna have the doors off getting dust, dirt, and mud everywhere?

So where do we draw the line on that? If the manufacturer of the car provides a document that says the car has forged piston rods, should I disassemble the engine to check? Of course not.

Think of it like Tesla removing a stereo from a car after they sold it, because they didn’t mean to sell the stereo with the car.

Right, because a typical pre-purchase inspection includes confirming that features listed on the original window sticker haven’t been remotely removed from the car by the manufacturer, and any used car buyer who fails to have one of these mythical pre-existing feature inspections performed deserves what they get.

I want car companies to do this with DCTs mated to traditional ICE engines. In the Porsche 911 GT3, you can “clutch in” by pulling both paddles. Why not tie that function to an actual clutch pedal? Tie the paddle shifters to a lever between the seats and viola! Engineering cost of 1 transmission while shutting up all…

You know, if New York City decides to riot over the Jets, Knicks, Rangers, and Mets having terrible and malignant owners, we won’t blame you. Just make sure to hold out until all four leagues agree to let those teams change ownership to community-based stock-owned groups like they have for the Green Bay Packers.

The odds of Kyrie poisoning the locker room before Durant ever sets foot on the court is better than a planet flip. 

I wish him the best of luck in making enough from this video to buy one more shirt.

James Gunn made two movies about terrible people who were trying to become not terrible, who were trying to self-actualize into being better people. There’s a very good reason why Gunn said that the character he identifies with the most was Rocket, the mean, sarcastic character who has put up walls to prevent from…

I am not a big fan of Tesla, but I dont see what the deal is. He is saying the car will offer more aggressive modes, which are probably on par with how most people drive in these areas anyways.   I think you just like getting angry at Elon because he makes it easy to write article and then you don’t have to work as…

I wonder if we’re about to enter into a return to custom bespoke coachwork utilizing these standard “skateboard” electric chassis.  That would be kind of cool actually.
