    Red pilling your children.

    Point taken, do you still have the uniform now? Have you tried to see if it still fits?

    Red pilling your children.

    Thats works too. So, those Catholic school uniforms, were there any times you had a growth spurt or washed them in the wrong temp and they were uncomfortably tight? If so are there pics from that day?

    If she is displaying her much discussed flexibility in that photo I might buy you a car to replace the one you 'asian-ed' into a immobile object.

    Its a city mouse / country mouse thing. People who clock the most miles (rural folks), burn the most fuel are less likely to go electric and that makes EVs have less positive impact.

    Big mall near me made VIP parking and free chargin for electric vehilces about 6 yrs ago, they took them out because demand was too high and people were plugging in and leaving for hrs.

    INB4 people haul a trailer and do Matt Damon in the Martian for 6 hrs at rest stops. Craigslist killed the newspapers, all the gas and diesel mechanics can get new jobs writing for Slate and Huffpo like the last batch that got run over by tech.

    Your average mechanic is making $15 / hr. and has to buy a shit ton of tools out of their own pockets. They can get a better gig imo.

    250 mi. was what they told me at the showroom and 6 hr recharge at home or 20-30 mins at a Tesla station.

    I think a battery swap for a Prius is $14K with labor. but electric systems have no hydraulics or water cooling. trouble shooting the 3 systems in an electric and changing parts requires way less tech knowledge than a internal combustion vehicle. Telsa braking is electric I believe. each motor...

    Fuck making cheaper cars, too many tards have wheels as it is. Even self driving cars with idiots owners keep adding more time to my commute. The poor and stupid fucks should have to ride the bus. Musks plan to shoot them down the street in an air canon also works

    I totally get it, I have mad respect for the engineering and testing that goes into any complex product, especially when it comes to passenger vehicles. I am a little guy and liability scares the fuck out of me for everything I build. We do no engineering in house for that reason. I have the...

    Pricing is always 'what the market will bear", people will always blow huge bucks on cool shit if they have the disposable cash. Musk has already begun pivoting to a mass appeal affordable product. I made a simple comment about how little money in actual parts went into the end product and...

    I think you and I need to have a bumper build show down. You go find an old railroad tie, and I'll fire up my tig welder an start laying up some carbon fiber. I am not discounting any of that. Engineering and tooling are amortized into every product. And the bigger the market share the cost...

    I am not talking about raw material. I am talking cost of parts and assembly. I actually build shit for a living. I am looking at the end product based on cost to manufacture. Am I mad at the margins he can make? Fuck no, more power to him. I am comparing his rolling iPhone to what it costs...

    I am a big fan of the guy, he is the only person I see trying to innovate and move tech forward in big ways. His solar roof and house batteries look awesome and are a game changer. I have no qualms about him getting massively rich for those efforts. My point is the cost of the bits and pieces...

    You are paying for the R+D, but just like a puter Motherboard, once you figured it out the engineering the cost per unit aint shit.

    Go look whats under the shell. $10K in batteries and $3K in motors, $1k in transmission and $2K in brakes and shocks., $1k in tires. Price tag is $100K last I knew. I think what Musk is doing is awesome and look forward to his $40K version, but his luxury sedan is crazy spendy for what...

    I was in a Tesla showroom a couple weeks back. They had a shell off chassis. The simplicity of the build is astonishing. When you see how little there is to an electric car, the Telsa price tag is pretty fucking outrageous. Where the fuck is the electric pick up truck? I would buy one they...

    I saw this everywhere last time I was on an LA freeway. I have had a motorcycle license since I was 18 and passed the MSF riders classes. And it's the dumbest fucking shit I have seen. I have no problem doing a buck-ten on a wet road, but splitting lanes is how you end up dead. California is...

    UPS trucks delivering to my neighborhood past 9:30 PM all this week. It's usually dead quiet. Now I get 20 dogs barking at the motherfuckers jack rabbiting every 100 feet. There is gonna be another 2 weeks of this annoying shit. Wouldn't be a big deal if they serviced their brakes, their...

    I was taking some tech classes and checking out product demos from a tiny family owned company in LA, we sat down for grub in their lunch room.

    Fox News commercials are mostly Hower Rounds, Catheters and legal services for Tax Evaders. It paints quite a picture.
