f only they'd already been working on a capsule. It's a damn shame they'll have to start completely from scratch right now instead of using the one they've been developing and using for years now. Man-rating is a challenge, but literally nothing has ever obtained it.

Because he's proven to us that he has absolutely no interest in using the rich early on to finance projects for the masses, which is why the model 3 is only available to the super rich, significantly more expensive than the Model S.

Just like the Boomers and GenX then? And every generation before them? There's been propaganda since Ugg and Lurr first started drawing on cave walls.

How many *more* people are willing and able to spend six figures on a car that wouldn't have spent that money on another similar vehicle with similar performance?

You take the regular train if you want to stop at one of the stops. You take the high speed rail if you want to get straight from one major metro area to another. You can get on a train going back the other way if you're in one of the last few stops that got skipped, and save yourself the majority of travel time. This is additional, not replacement.

Daily commuters. Work in Seoul, live elsewhere, save yourself a ton of money on rent. Also, when North Korea goes bonkers and levels the city, you've got a 70% chance of not being in town when it happens.

I use linux on my servers, on vms, even on a few desktops. But on my primary system, I run windows, because I like to play games as well. Having bash built in allows me to manage my files in the way I'm most familiar with, and also means i don't have to use PuTTY or a VM for SSH sessions to all the other systems I manage. It isn't perfect, but it's a damn sight better than having to learn powershell.

Most people are tired of the fact that almost every year in the last 20 has been significantly above average, and there's no indication that that's going to change unless we start fixing out damage. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc... So yeah, a lot of us care, and that caring adjusts our buying decisions. Power draw is one of the biggest considerations when buying new stuff, for me.

If you're paying enough taxes to make a difference in that rich man buying a car, then you're rich enough to buy a car, too. The bottom half of earners pay *very* little tax.

You're comparing the cost of an entire power plant against just the fuel cost without delivery or shipping or operation or cleanup of another and that is more fair than the article?

The S4 is cheaper, but more practical? The model S seats 7 has a trunk up front, and gets an equivalent to 93 mpg in electricity cost, if you're not using a supercharger. But I agree with you, the acceleration is fine for daily driving on an S4, was just pointing out that the Tesla is in hypercar territory, not family-hauler territory.

It's hard to go 0-60 when you're starting at not-0. I strongly suspect it will, like almost all launch control programs, be available only prior to launch.

Mid 5 to mid 4 0-60 times. You're off by a couple seconds. http://www.zeroto60times.com/v...

You either re-bought the games, or you're lying. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Ps3+on+ps...

Yeah, like this car that crashed into a painted tunnel scene: https://i.imgur.com/mOTHgnfl.j... People make mistakes. Machines make mistakes, because people made the machines. It's good to improve the machines through testing like this, but let's be honest: the time when the machine is the better driver is fast approaching, especially considering the number of distracted drivers there are on the road.
