No. I should’ve checked myself(/tone) before commenting. This is true for every commenter, I refuse to die by my mistakes. I haven’t walked back my points, I am simply acknowledging that I was over-aggressive in my response. I am apologizing to the person I aimed it at for the unwarranted tone but I am not apologizing…

Hmm. It appears so lmao. I could’ve gotten my point across more clearly without the snark but that’s what happens when you don’t think.

In the context given, I suppose so. I mean, the whole premise of test vehicles is to collect flight data. So as long more is learned about system control, it’s a success? It is a weird way to phrase it.

Cultist eh? I doubt you’ll ever get the irony of your comment. Sounds to me like you’re the one who possess the MAGA thought process. You do realize that essentially all of Musk’s goals are the polar opposite of a MAGAT?

Yeah, and to be clear, I wasn’t complaining about his coverage of the landing and subsequent explosion. I was just a little frustrated that he insists on bringing “stans” into the conversation no matter what the situation. It’s not that he construed it as a failure because of the explosion (which he didn’t), I…

I apologize for the salt, I definitely could’ve done without it. Its been a bad week and I know better than to vent in a comment section. You don’t deserve it, I’m sorry. 

Ha! I assume you read the first sentence and skipped to “reply”?

Fuck off Torch. The fuck are your bringing stans into this for? Can you not write a single article without including that? No one gives a fuck about whether it exploded or not in terms of how successful the launch was. Elon Musk knows this and no one who gives a single fuck about space flight does either. This is a…

I5's, on the other hand, are amazing no matter what.

why the actual fuck is this guy sticking to his guns? At the very least he could’ve remained quiet, maybe walked back his comment, but noooo he doubles down!

Would they though? The subreddit r/idiotsincars has plenty of examples of this exact scenario ending poorly. If I’m on cruise control passing in the left lane I won’t be shifting lanes in inconvenient places every time some dumbass rides my ass like this. The bmw would have come from a long ways back. I don’t know…

It looks like hell to fly though. I’ve watched some vids from the cockpit and it’s mad just how unwieldy this plane is on approach. The stall speed is pretty high too so it definitely takes a skilled pilot. 

^^This is passing normally. The bmw driver seems to have come up a bit fast but ultimately made a safe transition to pass. Then this happens:

Maybe it’s a generational thing? I think it may be the grill. Older drivers who’ve been used to ICE their whole lives tend to dislike the grill deletion. Younger drivers seem to be used to Tesla, not only as an innovator, but also as a mass-market manufacturer. They’re more likely to grow up liking the minimalism and…

This is why the Model 3 and the Taycan look so good. I don’t care what anyone else says, they’re the only ones doing it right.

Hmm. I’m really looking forward to Lucid and Rivian bringing some competition and drive to the market. I just hope they don’t go the way of Fisker. Say what you want about Musk, but you have to admire how effectively he’s mobilized Tesla and kept their momentum up, even as a large(r) manufacturer.

This. Having the rearview mirror attached to a stalk from the roof instead of the windshield makes a surprising difference in visibility.

I assume not? Since it was decommissioned and de-orbited. It’s not like with the Discovery when it broke up on re-entry, that was an accident and this isn’t. I don’t think they’d need the pieces (or what’s left) for investigative purposes because it was never designed to survive any sort of atmospheric contact. I’d…

This thing ain’t from a plane. It’s from a UFO. They’re covering up something.
