“For comparison, the Vegas Loop can handle around 4,000 passengers per hour traveling through the tunnels in Tesla cars”

Well they removed most of the breakable bits when they skipped the engine.  So they had to put /something/ in that could break. 

Eh. Minnesota here, but I’ve lived all over. We get to 100+. Not nearly as often as you guys do, but we do get there. What sucks is that we also get to -30, real temp, and sometimes lower. I remember when I moved here the first time decades ago, waiting for the school bus with a windchill of -50.

Thiel is an intelligent fascist, and he is doing what intelligent fascists do; use patsys as meatshields. Thiel isn’t mad at Musk doing this, he is happy that Musk is the one drawing all the media attention and public ire while he, Thiel, gets on with the background work of making the world a far worse and crueller…

And for objectively being an illegal immigrant since he violated his initial student visa rules.

Prove it, arrest elmo for his near endless fraud.
