Two parties in the wrong you say?

This is hell.

Probably not. Elon hates the encumbrance of personal safety measures. He doesn’t hate quality assurance for the hardware.

Hate to say it, but SpaceX gets paid because they do get results.

If this car was bought with the principle “You can afford one if you can buy two”, the guy would have been fine anyway.

I can’t see how this is hardware. I mean, even an ancient single core ARM device in a 10 year old mobile phone will boot within minutes.

Can someone please help me understand how it is possible that a reboot takes HOURS?????

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

“animated” (well, scrolling) turn signals? Yes. Animated brake lights? No, never seen those. Not on regular production cars, out in the wild. (Maybe they exist on concept cars, but I haven’t seen those myself.)

Background: I’ve worked in the steel industry for many years and I’ve seen hot steel, both molten and freshly solidified, by the tonnes.

For EVs? Maybe, I’ll grant you that. That paradigm was easier to shift.

*sigh*

He didn’t invent re-usable boosters. He bought the designs from NASA.

I knew about Hughes and Jobs and their descent into irrationality but I never learned that detail about old man Ford.

Oh sweet summer child.

You sure seem to hate his guts. Fair enough. What is not fair is to dismiss everything.

Ok, I’ll accept that his influence on PayPal may not be all that. So let’s ignore that. Neuralink? It’s promising but nothing definitive. I will go along with you, so let’s ignore that too.

Here’s my problem with Elon: It’s hard to deny what he brought into this world. We would not be better off if he never existed.

The IRONy here is that, had they not gone for the silly full-hard custom type 301'ish stainless steel body panels, and all the challenges that that brings, it would probably have been a lot more on-time than this monstrosity.

It’s that, but not just that.
