Both…or neither….but she’s confused and frustrated enough already and never cared about facts anyway, bewby just wants to hate and dehumanize them because she’s a fucking idiot and they scare her.

The Pinto thing is total BS sensationalist stat mining. They include the guy that tried to blow himself up in the Cybertruck in Vegas as someone who was killed by the truck. Really?

The parts thing only happens when vehicles and replacement parts are under warranty. @newtboy If you can find the source showing the warranty is voided driving a Cybertruck in the grass then I'll find the same language in the warranty docs for Fords.

This stuff is funny and Tesla doesn't deserve any leeway since their CEO has apparently gone"fact free" lately, but pushing easy to discredit "facts" seems like it distracts from the real issues with these vehicles and the company as a whole.

The biggest problem with Tesla in my mind is their over-promising and shitty service. I'm not sure how companies get away with promising stuff that isn't available yet but it seems like it is getting more common.

To me it looks like their service problems are a mix of 3 factors.
1. Not enough replacement parts at the ready
2. Service centers are understaffed because of the principal of running at below expected need until shit breaks. Only then can you apply more resources.
3. Service centers were designed to work efficiently but are run by a bunch of idiots that came from other manufacturer service centers so they want to do it "their way" instead of following the efficient hands off model that was originally planned.

Did he just quote Mr Rogers!?

Skeptical (never even saw or heard babies), but I want to believe this could be real….and that she didn’t max out the card and get in a hit and run. 😂

Seen this one long ago. But I really want one that can have Tesla electric tentacles effect at the wheels when accelerating.

Just looking at the thumbnail and anyone will know how stupid it is as a transport vehicle. I just want to see it hit a speedbump, pothole or just cornering at speed before the balls fly off. Fun engineering project, perhaps. If the "cups" are deeper than the top half of the ball and can grips it tight, then it'll start to make sense.

The look of the thing reminds me Kaneda's bike in Akira though.

We NEED an IRL Kaneda bike, with all those Nikola Tesla's electric tentacles effects.

That, and be deadly toxic to eat. They might want to start with that one first, actually. It’s a good one.

I want a counter on these showing how many times they failed before getting it.

Yep. It’s awful. A total anarchic hell scape everywhere. Believe it all. Stay away. Nobody wants to live HERE.

Don’t come begging for a handout red states. You insist California is a failed economy, we should start taking more from the federal budget than we contribute just like you have for decades. (California pays around $400 BILLION in federal taxes and gets about $140 BILLION back every year, meaning we provide about $260 BILLION in “welfare” to other (red) states yearly)

Catchy tune, I want more

I'm thinking she got everything she wanted for Christmas and more.

Pretty hilarious that the released Gaetz report proves he did everything he accused Hunter of doing…like buying guns high on cocaine and not listing his drug use on the form, sex trafficking, constant drug use, statutory rape, and massive obstruction…(the biggest difference being there is a mountain of incontrovertible evidence proving Gaetz’s guilt and only paid criminal Russians lying about Hunter)….and the child drug pusher and child rapist was tapped by the criminal underage drug fueled orgy party for the highest law enforcement position on earth while Hunter is just a citizen with no political aspirations or designs.

Epstein’s partner in crime knew every word of the report when he was nominated to be AG, the felon wanted him BECAUSE he’s a known criminal child rapist….birds of a feather and all.

Kinda funny how they don’t care at all about his much worse proven crimes but were so hyper focused on the much lesser but same unproven accusations against Hunter for 4 full years +….almost like they don’t care about the crime one bit but just need a stick to beat you in the head with.

These "hyper-realistic CGI" rehashes of classics cost a pretty penny yet have ZERO magic in them. I'm really not against CGI, but if you want to redo these old classics, do what Spiderverse, TMNT, Wild Robots, etc. did. They had tons more style & character to them then anything Disney/Pixar produced creativity in terms of CGI for the last decade.

Finally, only 60 years after the Harrier debuted we have another v-tol fighter.

It’s so weird to see v-tol. It looks *almost fake seeing a plane do that.

*(“almost” because I watched it minimized on an iPad…I want my vote back)

This makes me want to go back and play HL2 Episodes 1 & 2. I know I bought them, but don't remember ever finishing them. HL2 was so technically impressive. Portal 2 was also great, especially the co-op multiplayer. Alyx is a good VR title- it's close to a "killer app" for VR, but not quite there. 1 of the few VR titles compelling enough to keep headset on for more than 1 hour.

Not half-life related, but "old but cool" PC tech from that era: I had a DVD/MPEG2 decoder card that did VGA passthrough, and would replace black pixels with the movie content - so I could watch the Matrix in the background of playing Quake or other FPS (this was a dual PIII-450Mhz). I later installed an ATSC tuner card - one of the first channels that broadcast in HD was Fox, and one of my favorite shows, 24, started to broadcast in HD - and the early days all the makeup artists took advantage of low-res, so as soon as the show went to HD, you could see how fake all the blood, makeup, and other effects were. Hollywood ramped up quickly once the first HDTVs started shipping.
That computer also ran BeOS quite well.
