i took my 2002 audi a4 avant on there but it was kind of wet and gummy did not reach max speed had to hose it down after for sure, that was during the day tho

I know nothing about the salt flats but How much salt is in the dust i should think that would be corrosive as fuck without super washout and cleaning

driving out onto the salt flats is fun. best to be careful about where though, some areas are wetter than others and blocked by embankments. the north side between mm 15 and 20, west of the "tree of life" is generally ok, although i see after having driven out that way yesterday that they have put up little fences on the side of the freeway in that section.

I think they steam treat certain tracks when they're trying for a speed record... as noted earlier, they can be pretty slushy, like walking on rock salt

Not only has Tesla's strict return-to-office policy damaged morale but the company lacks resources to house everyone: shortage of chairs, desk space, parking spots, dongles, charging cords, phone booths and conference rooms. https://t.co/zvgY86QIqM— Amy Diehl, Ph.D. (@amydiehl) September 15, 2022

This is the third time my Tesla is getting recalled in just the last year. Getting sick of this shit. I'm sorry @Tesla your cars are amazing but this is not acceptable.

Is the pinch really more of a priority than the exploding thing? I’m not a driver so maybe one of you can explain idk

Surprised Musk didn't make them add a cartoon noise when your finger gets caught in the window. "Booiiiiinnnng!" or whatever.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 22 September 2022 13:38 (one year ago) link
Seems to suggest that at least one person has actually had their fingers cut off.

Maybe the windows of other cars just don't pinch enough.

the idea is that what the torus shape lacks in specificity of function, it overcomes in adaptability and resilience.
https://i.imgur.com/DXLhmyI.png
this group of barges is in a severe river traffic jam. months of FTEs will be wasted on this single problem during intense meetings and intrafleet negotiations.
meanwhile, the tori float on in an unstoppable horde, bouncing off of the bureaucratic red tape and winning the industrial race together

xp josh according to leaked concept footage, the passengers ride inside of the cybertorus. for safety, there are no windows so you can't see them from outside. but they're in there, two of them in each, strapped in.
