and permanent no fly list

Don’t forget to factor in all the wasted time at gas stations when you’re not on road trips. Most likely that adds up to much more overall. 

Found the dims on Electrek:

I’ve poked around a bit to try and find the exterior dimensions, but no luck. For me I’m hoping it’s closer to a Model Y in size than an X.

Well played.

The disc brakes annoy me way more than they should. 

Electricity is powering the machine, the hydraulic fluid is converting the power to the pressures needed for the castings. 

That and “Hydraulic fluid, a flammable liquid used to power machines” was was also wrong in the SF Chronicle article. 

Pretty soon titles for an article on something like the new Corvette will be: “Man in Tesla spots new Corvette”

They video I’m seeing isn’t long in advance at all. It’s blinker is on and the truck is moving over right at the beginning, or maybe 1/2 a second after it starts.  

Congratulations on accomplishing step 1: “We admitted we were powerless over Jeeps—that our lives had become unmanageable”  ;-)  

It’s more like 30-45 minutes, but if you’re regularly doing a long drive that needs you to stop and charge that would get old. If it’s only once in awhile then the cheaper running costs of a BEV usually make it worth it.

“1.18-inch thick steel panels”  That’s got to be a typo right?

Here’s an ‘86 with only 40,000 miles:

I learned on a ‘68 Nova. It was the stripper model with 3 on the tree and a the straight six engine. The only reason it had an AM radio was because the factory installed it by mistake and my uncle (who we bought the car from) then refused to pay for it.

That bad boy has a 142' long cargo bay so still not enough for this blade that Jason says is over 200'. 

Just looked up the cargo compartment of a C-5 (the biggest plane I know the name of) and the length is 121 feet. There are bigger planes, but I don’t think that much bigger. 

Totally what I was thinking too. Not car related yet really really cool!

How dare you have a reasonable take on this. Don’t you know this is the internet?

Each site has unknowns, most notably groundwater, that have been supposedly investigated and ruled safe at the Nevada location for the next XX,XXX years.
