Very few indeed. Probably the only other auto executive that has comparable (and mostly likely greater) product knowledge is Mary Barra. She worked on the line while she was an engineering student at GMI/Kettering and was later in charge of global production engineering.

Other than maybe Christian von Koenigsegg, yeah. Agreed.

I had an old pickup that if you turned too sharply to the left, the seat would unlatch itself and you would slide all the way back. Out of reach of the gas and brake pedals, and if you were not ready for it, it would take the steering wheel out of your hands as well.

I disabled the lock on my manual seat adjust so that it slides around willy nilly when I brake and accelerate. I hadn’t thought of doing the same with my steering wheel adjustment lock. My wife is going to love this! <tic>

The Tesla Cyber Truck’s Bulletproof windows failed to meet basic safety standards for automotive glass in a demonstration of a product which doesn’t exist, here’s why that’s great for consumers! - InsideEVs, probably

Jason, I’ll have you know that Teslas can already travel in hops.

or seatbelts, apparently.

I said a hip hop

If a Tesla is airborn, it is most likely because of Autopilot. Rockets not necessary.

Oh god no you’re not the only one. He’s pretty much the worst musician ever, and that Onion article had him dead to rights.

I don’t know if it’s bad time to ask but... am I the only one who’s always thought that his music sounds like absolute dogshit?!

I suspect The Wonder Years reunion isn’t happening now.

So Marilyn Manson is exactly who he always seemed to be, except it’s not the 90s anymore and creepy narcissism is no longer a profound artistic statement about Puritanism or something, it’s just creepy narcissism. Antichrist go fuck yourself.
