From the point of view of the kid's parents I'm sure they would have preferred that their son deescalated his involvement. The opposite happened when the FBI shows up and turns what was maybe a passing fad like playing goth dress

The gist I got was that the family suspected that the FBI asked him to go in the first place and then when he disappeared the FBI denied responsibility and tried to tell them their son had gone rogue to minimize their own responsibility. Th

Check out the Panasonic CF-53 / CF-54 they are slim and rugged. Esp. if you are rough on your equipment. All this ultra thin stuff if to fragile if you actually need to move it around frequently.

Coal power plants release radiation into the atmosphere as a matter of routine. If you live near one your radiation exposure is guaranteed to be much hire than if you live near a nuclear power station.

I doubt VW will be able to compete with Tesla in the near term on EV's. Look at the Taycan for example. It's a nice looking car but unless you had brand loyalty to Porsche it doesn't stack up against the Model S. It's

Sure is, you can haggle about whether it will be in 5 years, 8 years or somewhere in between but I think Tesla growing as big as Toyota is almost inevitable. In 5 years Tesla will be producing at least 7 models including 2 cars (S & 3)

The factories haven't been operating at 100% capacity. The US factory in Fremont for example is in the process of putting in a new line to produce the Model Y, demand for which should be similar to the Model 3. That alone will enable

These estimates about when electric vehicles are going to take off all seem naively conservative. The total world wide vehicle market is just under 70 million units a year. Tesla alone has guided for sales of 400k vehicles this year. If t

Who cares, I didn’t buy it to be “green”. If it becomes economically viable power suppliers will transition to solar or whatever replaces coal eventually. It’s just a matter of when and what.

Pretty big difference between a model that sells 2,500 total units and one that sells millions over 2 decades. A better comparison would be to look at what parts availability is on a limited run sports car.

Maybe Musk will be proven right in time but having followed Tesla for a long time and having recently purchased a Model 3 (It's an incredible car). The Solar City purchase is the one thing that never made a lot of sense to me. Even if

Tesla and a lot of other car makers are switching to so called "vegan leather" in their cars. Which is a fashionable way of saying synthetic leather. In Tesla's case it is for everything except the steering wheel which they

"But hardly any new cars have that" Even a Tesla Model 3 still has a 12 Volt cigarette adapter port. New cars still include them because of all the accessories out there like inverters and tire inflaters people want to use.
