Nah. This backtracking is bullshit. She knew exactly who he was. She just fell off his coattails for whatever reason and now she's playing the victim, even if it's being a willfully ignorant victim.
Tesla whined about it citing all the crap they’d have to work around in their design in order to make a normal mechanical linkage. Funny how no other upper tier manufacturer has trouble with all the power windows and window power pre-offsetting for interference fits. They manage to have mechanical linkages.
Yup. Don’t even need one. But three? Peak useless (but fun).
E: don’t take me for a hater. Cars are my hobby. I’d have a fleet of unique and interesting cars if I could. But there’s no way you can’t have a little self awareness that having multiple cars is kinda useless.
Possibility: They know it’s in the wrong spot. They don’t know why. So they figure someone screwed up, they don’t know who, but they don’t want it to be them or their department. So nobody says anything, and the stop remains unchanged.
Yeah. A vehicle known for trapping occupants when damaged, then burning them alive. Are you sure that’s the kind of vehicle you want to be in when it gets shot at?
For regular makes and models there are far fewer options, like Toyota or Honda. BMWs are perceived as higher tier and have more options. The fact you have to single out a more luxury brand and can‘t just say “Toyota has 20 color options for the Corolla!” proves my point.
You could also get factory colors “custom”. What was available at the dealership was one thing, but they had a host of other color options you could special order. Like upgrading from an AM radio to AM/FM Cassette. You just had to wait for the factory to do a run of that option before your car would get shipped. More options were a la carte and you weren’t forced into trim packages like today that are like cable tv packages - pay for a bunch of shit you don’t want to get the one or two options you do. Want AWD? Sure! But you have to take “premium sound”, floor mats, cargo separator, and exterior trim packages too.
Create artificial scarcity to drive up prices thanks to foolish venture capitalists dumping money into GPU- and RAM-hungry AI vaporware. Free money.
Consumers get hosed due to high prices, major investors make bank on overinflated stock value, eventual crash, everyday consumers and investors get hosed, companies get bailouts while employees get laid off.
I think the hard part is finding non-sensationalized forecasting. If you listen to the news they turn everything into disaster movie storms. They pick the worst potential outcome. 2-4” of snow with a potential for 8” if some unlikely combination of air masses combine?“OmG SnOwMaGeDdOn!1!” Meanwhile most get a dusting to 2”.
If you want actual decent weather you’ll need to go to sources like NOAA that don’t spoon feed you clickbait.
Like “woke”, their wars on whatever are just stand-ins for everything they don’t like or might force them to exert brainpower that potentially endangers their mental gymnastics.
Individuals having the ability to operate private space programs is insane.
