Love this article! Here’s a couple of things to go down the rabbit hole on, based off of the slides:

Yeah title should say “NACS Port” but that isn’t as click-worthy unfortunately. Gotta game the algorithms.

So it is a “tesla charger” or is it a maker-agnostic stadnard charger that Tesla uses. Because calling it a “Tesla charger” gets confusing.

Or have a neighbor friendly “Quiet mode” like your more pedestrian mustang

I mean, considering how many wealthy New Yorkers own a second home in South Florida… and how much South Florida spends on beach replenishment… I’d say that you’re probably not wrong.

Cool. Then Jaguar should be forced to recall your car and replace the exhaust with one that can meet noise standards.

Who moves to Manhattan and then complains about loud noises? I assume the same people that buy beach property and then complain about beach washing away. 

To be fair, if there’s a group of bikers larger than four, chances are all of them have either slip-ons or race-pipes. In my experience (anecdotal at best, agreed), most riders with stock exhausts tend to ride solo or in pairs.

It’s a modern supercar with a DCT. Just keep it in auto when in the city and you will cruise around in a high gear and the car can be decently quiet because that’s what it’s designed to do. It’s only when you start dropping gears and keeping the revs up that they can crazy loud.  As long as you are not running in…

I don’t disagree with you, but cities and towns can make their own laws on these things. I assume this is whats happening here.

I think that it is ok for neighborhoods/ cities to want a peaceful environment. I don’t think that “unmodified” vehicles should be exempt from sound enforcement you should be able to short shift/keep the vehicle in a higher gear to keep the RPMs down. There is a difference between driving a loud car and being…

It’s less funny and more worrying that he can spew such an unending deluge of dumbassery that *an entire industry* can’t keep up with it all. And this is an industry designed to cover everything that’s new.

Trump said he thinks he should be able to personally control interest rates, which definitely wouldn’t be a disaster!

Things like this make me realize why dictators nationalize problem industries.

That’s how the rich stay rich. They use other people’s money. It’s even how they make money. Invest other people’s money and take a portion of the gains of zero of the losses... yet they get a favorable tax rate for the risk even though there is zero risk to them.

The Wall Street Journal thinks Elon Musk is a douche, and the VFW thinks Donald Trump is a douche. These last few days have been pretty great!

I mean, literally, there is a difference. Functionally, legally, ethically, morally, etc., there is no difference. But there is a diagnostic difference in terms of ICD-10/DSM-5, and different parts of the brain/body are triggered in “true” pedophiles compared to ephebophiles. If you conduct a penile plethysmography…

They deserve to take a bath on this for funding his lunacy, but sadly we all know that they’ll just end up passing off the losses on the economy writ large and we’ll all end up paying the price for subsidizing him.

Gosh, all these very very very very rich people and yet they need other people’s money to pay for stuff (see also: Trump, Donald, circa 2015: “I won’t need campaign donations...”).

Musk continues to look more and more unstable while cozying up with the kinds of people who memorize the age of consent in all 50 states.
