They're not underpowered. They are huge discs (all four are about the same size, even, since the very low center of gravity limits diving) with Brembo-made calipers. That said, the discs stay wetter longer than in ICE cars because the regen takes care of the small reductions in speed. In this case it was too cold for regen, so no difference.

I think it'd be a good idea to disable the accelerator while the brake is pressed, and simple to add to every car via a software update.

These loans that they have paid back early? Do you not consider bailing out the Big 3 to be a form of subsidy?

You joke, but keep in mind that eye contact is a threatening gesture to most animals, cats especially. They show you that they trust you when they blink and look away. "I trust you enough that I feel comfortable not watching you". This is probably the source of the truism that the allergic person gets all of the attention: The cat lover stares and yells, "KITTY" while the allergic person avoids eye contact and is perceived to be the lowest threat.

You can squeeze your eyes shut a couple of times and watch cats do the same. It's fun!

There is a nonzero chance that your third possibility is correct. But nonzero is all I'm going to give you. Have a look at the amounts of greenhouse gasses put into the atmosphere by a large natural phenomenon, vulcanism

Looks like the numbers are from 2009 or so. Summary: It takes ~3 days of humans' output to equal one year of volcanic greenhouse gas emissions.

The factors that are out of our control contribute a tiny fraction of our total.

So you're attempting to refute data with a poem?

It may be terminology missing; In actual fact all the charging equipment is onboard the car, but the fire officials may be referring the the exterior power cable as "the charger" especially if it's Tesla's High Power Wall Connector. The abbreviation for that, HPWC, could reasonably be assumed to mean High Power Wall Charger.

They have actually registered the Model Y trademark.

The Fremont factory is enormous. They're only using a fraction of it for Model S production, with plans to activate more of it for Model E, etc.

Given that they own a building that exists and will support their needs for the near- to medium-future, it's unlikely that they would move.

Here, let me Google that for you:

Re: Sprint-to-Verizon flash:
I suspect no, but I would be very interested to know if it's possible as well.

Spirit. Opportunity. Curiosity.

As opposed to the entirely smooth surface of your mobile, it looks like these have concentric ridges to solve just your problem; they give a tactile map of where the center is.

No, you have always been explicitly allowed to wear passive earmuffs or earplugs.

Nah, the taillights bug the shit out of me, too. I have no idea why they don't just increase the pulse frequency.

It actually disenfranchises _more_ than half of the voters. Take California in this election:
Obama: 5573450 Romney: 3635571
None of the 3.63 million votes for Romney counted, and 1937878 of Obama's didn't contribute to the election.
Therefore, 5573449 votes, 60.5%, in California didn't count for anything.
