That would be pretty funny, or at least a drag race. Like when MotorTrend drag raced an Alfa Romeo 4C against a Model X... that was towing another Alfa Romeo 4C, and the Model X won.

This was going to happen at some point in human history. It is happening now.

So ... maybe don’t take exposures at a known time and of a known part of the sky that the satellites are going to transit? Its not like the launch and deployment were a huge secret or something. I’m actually more than a little surprised this apparently came as a shock to these folks ...

The real world benefits of the satellites outweighs the issues it is causing to astronomers so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

the revenue this network will generate, coupled with the advances of spaceX means that in the near future these astronomers will be able to use a large array of space based telescopes that will be far more effective then land based systems.

My experience after 45k miles with autopilot one is that it’s nice to have a second system backing you up and it does reduce fatigue on a long trip, making me feel a lot safer. Treat it like a teenager driving, it can do it, and it’s helpful but you’d better watch it.

But! It’s bad at communicating its own limits. If…

Honestly after reading about the ‘reason’ for all this, its just stupid review bullshit thrown together for whatever reason, while missing one very critical part, the comparison itself..

He's a perfectionist and super competitive, he wants his car to be the best, period. Top gear didn't have the Tesla at it's most powerful setting and they were caught, obviously Musk would be pissed if the results were tainted.

I just noticed something else watching the TG video

“...Hong Kong’s wealthiest man Li Ka-Ching...” That checks out.

So you got caught lying about the credits and now changing subject to the debt?

Didn’t you say 2 days ago Tesla was going to lose billions?

so it’s really making it difficult to separate that part of the business from the part that makes cars.

Even that kind of undersells it.

They also threw you a bone by neglecting to mention that 100% of the operating profit came from selling Green Credits, not actual cars.

Pour one out for the Hiphopopotamus.

They decided to omit the fact that Wall Street was predicting a loss and Tesla posted a profit. Then they further discredit it by calling it a modest profit when it’s a pretty big deal since it’s only the 2nd time they posted a quarterly profit.

“What the hell does someone do with a big ass plane to themselves?”

Maybe they need to invest in a more sturdy model instead of battery operated Razors.
