Missed the poll I guess, but Pontiac G8's “Stryker Blue” is my favorite blue on a car. Especially when the sunlight hits it just right and forms a light to dark gradient. Generally in shadow, the color of the door is what you see. It’s also got a metallic flake effect up close. This is mine that I’ve owned for 15…

I’m willing to bet the meeting might have been scheduled there on that day on purpose :-)

That’s actually quite hilarious. Yup, Erie PA is about as close to the centerline as you can get. Anywhere in between the red means totality, blue line is maximum duration. You’ll probably get 3+ minutes of corona and darkness. I’m sure it will be absolute buzz at the office and everybody will voluntarily want to take …

in what may be one of the stupidest plane-related incidents of 2024

Home Depot had eclipse glasses for $1.99 when I went a couple weeks ago, though I imagine they’re probably sold out in most places by now

It will be back, but probably not in your lifetime. The last time solar eclipse totality hit my state before this year seems to be when my grandmother was in middle school.

Quite obviously not a Tesla-exclusive thing.

They took a page right out of Ford’s book and made the model names so confusing and misleading. How many people accidentally bought a Ford Bronco Sport thinking it was Ford Bronco? How many people will buy a Toyota Yaris GR after hearing how awesome the Toyota GR Yaris is?

the [2014] RAV4 EV’s range is a little bit lower than what was offered even on the earliest Tesla Roadster, coming in at an EPA-estimated 103 miles

So then eating found human meat will be banned. Then they’ll have to ban eating your own flesh since of course that was a loophole. Then babies will start receiving “DO NOT EAT” tattoos on their wrists before they leave the hospital

so it exists mostly to coax unknowing consumers into spending more on gas

Need more than your word to back that.

By every other orbital launch vehicle in history, you mean the debris scattered along the bottom of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans? Even Space Shuttle Challenger, obviously high profile because humans were on board, never even had half of its debris recovered. There is literally a place in the Pacific Ocean dubbed…

Rivian announced their truck and made first delivery 2 1/2 years later during the pandemic. Tesla, a company that had been making vehicles for years, took 4 years from announcement to delivery.

I’ve never personally seen a law forbidding eating human meat

Rates from State Farm or Farmers for various locations around the country would give buyers an idea of what they’re really in store for

956 Autopilot-related accidents would beg to differ

No I think he means Hyperloop, which has not been made at scale for public use and probably never will be.

You mean the obvious person in a costume that was not intended to be mistaken for a real robot? And now, you can go see the static robot in select Tesla Stores, and see videos they’ve published like picking up eggs without crushing them, and such.

Definitely looking forward to the tech improvements this decade. I’m sure soon, Noland will be able to control his wheelchair by thought instead of using the blow-stick. And that’s just the beginning. Wires connected to where his nerves no longer do, to use thought to control his arms, legs, and hands? Or even a…
