At least Elon doesn't actually run things at SpaceX, despite what he might say in public. Gwynne Shit well actually runs the company, and is likely the reason it's actually pretty on track and hasn't gone the way of Tesla.

Starship is not like any other rocket currently being made, and it's being built in an iterative process, unlike the legacy rocket manufacturers, and even most new companies. This design process is intended to make changes and break things at every step, in the real world. Then make changes to try and fix those problems, and test it again. And not every step will fix previous issues. They're building multiple Boosters and Starships simultaneously, and none of the ones being launched are the newest version at this point of development. They're all older models by the time they fly.

And was the second time that window had the ball bearing thrown at it. They'd tested it backstage but didn't replace that window for the on stage demo, so it was already weakened.

That would require a majority of Congress to do their jobs properly, and not be part of the fascist takeover.

That's what happens when you design laws around the shit mega corporations do instead of categorizing and regulating that directly.

Urban Dead is being shutdown by a law clearly intended to target websites like Facebook.

Avoid populated areas, and fly low. The exact same techniques that they've been using for decades. Radar is dumb, it sends back a return when it bounces off objects, but you can't tell what it is returning, that's why planes have transponders to supplement more info. If you just don't do that and fly low it will get filtered out with the terrain most of the time.

I mean, Trump thinks of everything as a business. He's terrible at them, but that's the lens he views everything through. And he obviously tries to run the government as a business as well.

The ultimate "fuck you, I got mine". The bread and butter of the Republican base.

Someone conveniently ignoring the Crusades. Nearly 200 years of exactly that in the name of Christianity, fully supported and encouraged by the clergy.

At least that one is clearly displayed with it's source.

The previous ones like the glue on pizza were pulled out of the context and directly recommended by the AI response.

The ICE policies and infrastructure wasn't originally setup to be the shithole it has become over the years.

Some of those minimum standards are still there in some places where they didn't get in the way of being pieces of shit.

Blackberry being a viable market player died when Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie left in 2012.

They're all DEI hires. None of them are the most qualified candidate.

Inkjet is great, for photo printing regularly. For absolutely every other situation a laser printer is better.

There are a couple of exceptions.

You're right, but Elon decided to operate Tesla with himself as the primary marketing force. He made the brand synonymous with himself, and they continue to do so even now.

The Board not removing Elon from a position of power just indicates they continue to support his actions.

That is when 95% of their sales are from, hell probably more given the sharp decline in sales since he decided to sieg heil on national TV.

The Mach-E has absolutely no Mustang DNA in it despite what they want to try to brand. All it does is shit on the Mustang name. I can recognize this and I don't even like Ford or Mustang. I can't imagine how actual fans haven't revolted.

Also, why can't manufacturers just accept that some people want the same vehicles available but with EV powertrains? Not every EV needs to be a unique model. Just like they eventually figured out with hybrids, you can just swap the power train and they'll sell.

100% don't have trouble with my Toyota.

And I've seen people ask where the handle is in my buddy's BMW. There's always going to be idiots. Acting like those are the most common group, or even near the average, is stupid.

In some Tesla's it can be damaging to the car to pull the "emergency handle."

This is the case for most vehicles with frameless windows. They have to move the window up and down to seal against the frame and to clear the frame. Tesla isn't anywhere near the first company to have frameless windows, they've existed for several decades, since at least the 1980s. There are a few old vehicles that predate electric windows, and usually have common issues with weather sealing, so it wasn't common until after electric windows allowed for better sealing since the glass could move up under the frame after closing the door. With all of those, if you aren't opening the door in a way that moves the glass, or if the window mechanism is damaged or inoperable for any reason, there can be damage. No one ever likes to talk about those other cars though when this topic comes up, because that tends to undermine the general assumption that it's something only Tesla does.

No, 90% of people have no problem. The few that don't see the button on the door handle, usually go straight for the emergency handle. A very small percentage aren't the type to grab things randomly and just ask if they're not sure.

Everyone focuses on the dumbest takes and experiences, not the real world average. Actually owning a Tesla for the last 6 years and experiencing all of this personally, including long distance trips, and even supercharging on CA on those trips, made me realize just how most online posts about them aren't accurate.

And how defensive some people get when their opinion based solely on reading shit online is challenged by someone with actual experience.

Oh yes, I forgot that the exact shape and position of this handle is the exact same on those vehicles as well. None of them are the exact same, that's the entire point of the complaints.
