“hasn’t convinced Elon why asking the internet to vote on the truthiness of the news is a bad idea”

The general public is spectacularly terrible at everything.

At some point the Silicone Valley crowd is going to realize that places like Indiana or Texas aren’t that outlandish and they’ll let you build anything you want.

You keep making this dumb mistake. Why is the housing shortage the fault of tech companies for having too many high paying jobs instead of local governments literally blocking the construction of new housing? The solution to a housing shortage isn’t to force people to move back to Des Moines and flip burgers, it’s to…

You obviously didn’t read the article. It can handle Overwatch at over 30fps with at 1080p on Ultra settings, that’s pretty good.

Someone check on Jeff Bezos

The DeLorean saga is exemplary of this same routine. If you live in the ‘Big Three’ ecosystem you are openly advised to do no favor for disrupters.

No industry insider is going to risk alienating the giants of their own industry. The hyperbolic character of his assessment leads me to wonder how long he’s been familiar with mechanical engineering. I seriously doubt anything on the Tesla can hold a candle to the corporate atrocities of the ‘70s and 80s such as the…

That guy is a joke. We’ve had EVs now for a while. What percentage of accident require cutting power to the battery? How do access compare to other cars? I had an BMW i3 which Munro swooned over with the SAME emergency issues...I don’t think there is ANY way to open the frunk of an i3 from the outside to get to the…

YOU. DO. NOT. OWN. THE. ROAD. IN. FRONT. OF. YOUR. HOUSE.

Serious question: How does one accurately measure the impact of torrenting on sales? There are a good number of people who would never buy it no matter how cheap/easy it is to access, so they can’t really be counted in the “lost sales” number. Also, there are people that don’t want to wait for the release date who…

I genuinely don’t understand people who hit something that large, which involves a noticeable impact, and a noticeable sound, and don’t bother to pull over and inspect their vehicle. ESPECIALLY if they didn’t see that large object behind them in the roadway.

I genuinely do not understand how people were able to keep…

At the wheels. Which is totally feasible.

Get this; if you look closely at concept cars by major automakers, they’re really just painted clay mock-ups, maybe with small electric motors driving the wheels!

+1, a small crossover and/or 2nd gen Model S might make more sense if Tesla was run by GM rather than a Bond villain.

A performance bargain unlike anything ever.

You must be a Trump supporter. It’s ok we understand.

Or, and I know I’m being crazy here, you can stop giving a fuck about your apparent height.

How do we know Zuckerberg specifically put a ton of thought into this, versus just “choose what you think are the best photos of me” – no different from how any soon-to-be-wed couple would direct their own photographer?

I’m only 5'8 and I have never even cared.
