I’m pretty sure you were fully baked for this idea. That said, I think that this idea is fully-baked! Read more

I like this. Seems like the efficiency would go up, since you’ve halved the frontal surface area, but I could easily be wrong about that. You’d also have to think about cargo, though I’d bet even that could still be accommodated. Read more

Good idea that is innovative and can actually help traffic in the long term- have a star! Read more

I don’t think anybody but Elon would think it’s out of line to recommend a name that doesn’t oversell the product’s capabilities as the current one does. I read an article on here a few months ago that compared Autopilot to Super Cruise, and the author pointed out that while GM’s system is more advanced, it’s name Read more

Cool. Something new for the McGuire twins.

RM Sotherby’s auction from some years ago. Nice photos and info on a 1959 Frisky Family Three. Read more

Which is why I am personally VERY satisfied with my current layout.

Awesome job by everyone at Space-X — long time coming. Excited to see commercial crew make some real progress. Read more

I’m a millennial and seriously, DAMN YOU CLOUDS! I want physical controls and mechanical gauges in my cars. A screen is fine for navigation and a backup camera, but other than that give me knobs and gauges everywhere. Read more

Preston Thomas Tucker was my idol, so much so that I wrote a thesis paper in college in which I compared the Hollywood version of his life ( The movie: Read more

If I had my druthers, this (pictured below) would have a couple more physical knobs and buttons (just a couple!)

The main problem is total weight that the unit can carry after batteries and distance on a full charge. Having run a garbage company in New Jersey, this is extremely important. We pay per ton dumped, so we want the maximum load it can carry and some transfer stations and or land fills can be 30 miles (or more) one way Read more
