They always mention how Space-X has driven down launch costs— but then mysteriously leave out the simple fact that Space-X just completed its 27th (I’m not making that up) multi-billion dollar capital raise...

If you think that people are going to behave well, in Vegas, in an un-supervised autonomous underground taxi ride?
Bill Gates could code. Give him credit.
It is funny how much better Vegas ran when the mob was in charge. With corporations in charge? A nobody-gives-a-fuck-feces-festival.
LAX has the same issue— “mass transit” (including buses and the TWO Metro LAX “lines to the airport”) invariably stops two miles short of the actual terminal.
Now playing
This one caused an uproar too. “Kids Speeding In Corvettes”. What’s not to like?
Ask they Brits. They had a program like this going back in 1870... It’s on the tip of my tongue....
Funny. I was just posting on ANOTHER Musky-BS over-promise involving transit and too-many-batteries, with not-enough-Musky-veracity.
The was the Mercedes analysis on all the empty promises Musk made at intro. “The chemistry and physics don’t support Musk’s claims and won’t for years”.
The HOV thing’s been studied a lot— since it was clear that people were buying “certain cars” more for the access to HOV sticker than even for the credit or the “savings on gas”.
All fired. Every damn one of them...
Er, so you seriously think, especially at your altitude and reduced Pressure-Density, that this really has enough cooling?
In the trucks, the batteries could be “free” and it wouldn’t matter. You can’t roll a 72,000 pound GVW with 20,000 pounds consumed by batteries.
I guess, if you are a registered Musk Cultist, you are entitled to your own facts and a free drawing for a Roadster and a Musk Hummer.
... At least they’ve taken the “cost down” inside Elon’s brain.
Hey! Give the Cultist his due... Musk has managed to duplicate a tunnel as useful as the ones the Brits were digging under London in the 1870s!
it’s been a moving target, but this was the thrust in Calif
IN Europe they’re putting a Walther to their heads.... despite it making ZERO sense in a place like coal-fired Germany.
That’s not quite accurate— it was certainly “empirical”, but it stemmed very directly from the rate of increase in accuracy of “optical registration” of integrated circuit design features. They knew the chemistry of silicon would extend limitlessly (at least in those scales of geometry) so it was only a question of…
