he’s launching a battery and powertrain startup in Redwood, California.

Jon Wagner, who joined Tesla in 2013, worked as the team leader for battery pack design engineering at the automaker and helped develop technology in the Model S, X, and 3, according to his LinkedIn profile. He also served as Tesla’s interim director for battery manufacturing, body engineering and computer aided…

Dude left to start a company that will hopefully get bought out by an Internet titan for 402 ballzion dollars.

Even if they crash and burn, props to Musk for pushing automakers into giving us EVs quicker.

Making cars in large numbers is really really hard?! Color me surprised.

Tack the pending loss of EV incentives on and things get even less rosy. Not saying they’ll fail but it will be a bumpy ride.

I mean, this is what Musk does. He makes big promises he can’t deliver on. I’m not surprised at all by any of this.

Well he set himself up for failure by over promising huge production numbers.

I still find myself furiously scrolling to the bottom of reviews as soon as it loads up to see the “YES! or NO! or Yes... but Wait!” I like these reviews, but I still kinda miss the yes/no/wait verdicts.

You do NOT want to hold that controller for a long time. You will get carpel tunnel. You really need handles.

The DMV is the Department of Motor Vehicles... it’s not the Department of Engine Vehicles.

The SNES controller is not comfortable to hold and slips out of your grip too easily. There’s a reason every major console since then has had proper grips on its controller.

That’s a dealer decal I’d actually leave on the car. I may even request more be added.

Jack Daniels Kia? Do they breathalyze before test drives?

I don’t think the dealership experience would be the biggest hurdle to overcome.
I know this has been said and debated but the biggest problem they still face is the badge.

Jalops love to praise companies such as KIA and Hyundai for taking bold steps and meeting delivering enthusiast vehicles but none (or few) of them…

I’d have no idea where to get a pi, how to build one, dont want to spend all the time tracking down roms only to find a whole bunch of roms that dont work.

Even in 2017, there’s a big difference between “computer literacy” and Raspberry pi programming willingness. I work with a pretty well computer literate group - but not many knew of the pi, those who knew said they really didn’t have the time to set it up and the one guy (the IT liaison to our team) who did do it said…

This is the main point for me. I built a RetroPie just because it seemed like a fun project, but it wasn’t exactly straightforward. I probably spent a solid afternoon researching and ordering parts and setting everything up. Truth be told, the selection of games in the official devices pretty much covers all that I’m…

The NES Classic games were cleaned up and made to look better on a HD widescreen LCD TV. Meanwhile, the SNES Classic will have those upgrades, plus feature the never before released StarFox 2.

The point is to those who aren’t savvy in electronics, setting up a Pi is a barrier to fast and guaranteed-working retro entertainment. A Pi is not the same as an authentic Nintendo branded retro console.
