Counterpoint: brodozers are already commuter queens, and the popularity of low-profile knobbies shows that owners have finally accepted that.

I’ve been collecting Hotwheels my entire life, and I completely agree that it sucks right now. I’m lucky if I find a single example of a casting even up to a year after it actually releases, and in most cases I’m not able to find anything I want. It all just comes down to dumb luck of being at the store just after…

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before…

It’s almost like Elon Musk is a dumbass with the intellectual depth of a 9 year old and only knows about stainless steel because it’s what the DeLorean from Back To the Future was made out of and it would be le epic bacon if his meme truck was made out of the same thing. 

the rubber stamped “Level 3 certification”

We have the CEO of Tesla, where a major value proposition on their cars is autonomous driving systems, saying he has no clue what the competition is doing relative to autonomous driving. Are we really supposed to believe the Mercedes L3 approval was a total shock? What a load of shit. Can you imagine Jim Farley or…

Yea it’s a weird position to take considering they aren’t even rated in the top three level 2 systems, let alone anything close to level 3.

You’re not worth anything more. There is no rational discussion to be had with you. You just blindly worship Musk & Tesla. Calling you a fanboy isn’t name-calling, it’s just a simple statement of fact.

You’re so predictable, fanboy.

An alternative to these rosy numbers exists. Tesla uses possibly fraudulent accounting practices to make themselves look completely differentiated in the marketplace. Elon has established a culture of fabrications and exaggerations to raise funds and boost his stock price to line his own pockets. The recent spate of…

The worlds fastest man can’t improve his 100M time as much as the average Joe either. Of course more established manufacturers can’t grow similar amounts to Tesla.

Vingroup has businesses all over Vietnam. You might buy groceries at VinMart and clothing at VinPlaza.

As a test driver I got a new toy to play with that is a insanely fast V8 hybrid. that thing was astonishing because not only does it have vicious acceleration at any speed, it naturally gets over 300 mpg (add the EV elements and that gets shot up to around 400mpg), can be driven for like 10 miles on battery alone, and…

Perhaps most EV appliance drivers want 1 pedal driving but Porsche knows its clientele. Porsche buyers still want engaging driver oriented cars, and not a golf cart with a “musky” smelling interior.

This seems like a fairly handsome design, both inside and out. I’m curious what the more normal trims looks like.

$66k for a “blank slate” just reminds me that there are a lot of people with a lot more money than I have.

Used vehicles are plentiful in my area. Peddlers of used vehicles are not short of inventory. I suspect we are at top of demand curve. New vehicle dealers still don’t have much if anything new sitting on the lot. 

Its ok to keep saying true things.

Elon rarely acts like a man.

Between 4:59 and 7:46 p.m. on July 29, the tank operator overrode the waste treatment alarms 460 times, or about once every 20 seconds, according to the notice. Another “high level” alarm was recorded at 11 p.m
