The All-Road version of that is really what I wanted but can’t wait until 2025 since my current car has 180K miles on it.
Some of the “safety features” on that are indeed gimmicky but it’s a concept show car at this point. Those will be tempered by production costs and standards-setting bodies like DOT prior to production.
It’s a beautiful car, but that thing has to be as long as a bus.
I know this may not be universal, but when you’re outside, whatever it is you’re standing on isn’t called the floor.
You’re talking to a guy who thinks the first floor is up the stairs.
That depends on what’s beneath. For instance, If the house is elevated and you can park underneath it.
As a guy who lives in a city where owning a car is much more of a pain in the ass than a convenience, I’ve felt like I’m missing out on all the cool EV stuff. And then the city rolled out it’s fleet of electric buses and I gotta say, these things are nice!
QElon’s situation isn’t getting much better.
How’s your day going? QElon’s involves the global social media platform he owns calling him a liar.
The backstory here relates to the account that tweets the publicly-available flight data for QElon’s private jet. Stalwart of free speech that he is, Musk banned the account and the creator from his website, and then changed the site’s T&Cs to say that publishing flight data of personal jets is against the rules.
He banned the flight update account and the personal account of the user.
The latter seems clearly vindictive.
The former too for that matter.
The fact check makes no sense. Whether a statement is protected speech under 1A has fuckall to do with whether twitter can regulate it on its own platform.
Of course. But he promotes himself as bringing back free speech and gets called out for banning people exercising that on his platform. I’m sure some names got added to the Christmas Eve firing list after that.
Well gee, that doesn’t seem like the Elon who called a guy a pedophile just because the guy said his submarine cave rescue wouldn’t work.
For anyone not familiar:
Then the fact check should refer to his earlier comments, not to irrelevant law. Look I don’t like the guy at all but if you’re a fact checker citing the first amendment in that situation should probably be in another line of work.
Isn’t this sort of beside the point? It’s not about law or what a company can or cannot legally do, it about how he’s the exact cowardly POS he and his acolytes have always accused others of being.
Exactly, it’s not about the law—so why tag the tweet with a fact check (or “added context”) that exclusively refers to the law as if it has anything to do with the situation? There’s plenty of good ways to criticize Elon Musk that don’t involve legal illiteracy.
This is an interesting video about the traction capabilities of electric vehicles. They are sensing and responding to traction inputs at 1mHz instead of the 2 times per second of mechanical differentials (and 50+ times per second for digitally controlled mechanical differentials).
That is absolutely fucking nuts. The leap that Lucid gets off the line in ridiculous.
I can’t wait until rich high school kids start driving these things. I doubt that they decelerate as well as they accelerate.
And so it begins…
