a safety issue with evs in general is fast acceleration of a very heavy car is not a great combo

even something like the tesla plaid x which is more designed to be a performance car im sure you could absolutely destroy its suspension and what not if you consistently floored it

the instant torque of evs is a perfect just because you can doesnt mean you should situation, and then considering the weight of the batteries you probably just shouldnt, most people dont even care about that stuff, let them buy performance cars if they do

my brother got a Model 3 one for my son which Tesla gave him as a “gift” for buying 2 real ones. It hasn’t started on fire yet but it did have a lot of weird issues with the electrical components and the steering wheel popped off. It also gets stuck on anything that’s not concrete, which sucks because kids love to off road these things. After a year (which ain’t much because in Wisconsin you can only really use the thing for 6 months max) one of the axles broke. The only good thing I can say is it was pretty fast (6 mph) but even that is obnoxious because the parents have to follow along.

thought the same but musks initial offer to buy twitter came after the war started, which is not to say he couldnt have just gotten the idea at some point that now its going to be ww3, but also he could just be talking about something else

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
