And the article said that he did that. And the article also said that the range indicator said he had plenty of range left when he parked it for the night. And when he woke up 2/3's of the projected miles had disappeared in a puff of smoke over night.
The problem was that the car was telling him that he had plenty of miles to go when he parked it for the night. I would expect the car to give me a reasonable approxiamation of the range I have left, which is what the car says it's doing, instead of some BS PR number, even if I didn't charge it up 100% or decided to drive through the city.
So reviews should verify theoretical device usage instead of real device usage? Why doesn't Elon Musk write his own reviews then? Oh wait, he's trying to do that now.
The article accurately states the route he took and what he did when charging. He didn't charge the car to full capacity, but he did charge it until it showed that it was well within the range he wanted to go.
Elon Musk was trying to say that he never mentioned driving in Manhattan, but he did state that fact. He took the car on a detour through Manhattan to Connecticut, and when he parked it, it still said he had plenty of miles to get back to the charging station. When he got up in the morning, 2/3's of those miles dissappeared from the car overnight.
Not what I'd expect from a luxury automobile.
Yeah, you can still date rape on Craig's List.
And I've got diarrhea and a strong desire to leave a double-decker in every toilet in your house.
That's an upper-decker, not a double-decker, you jerk.
Why ask what a landline phone is when you could just vote 'What's a Landline Phone?'?
Because they want to know what a landline phone is? I think it's fair to say that people ask questions when they want to get answers...
Scrabble: The Collectible Tile Game!
You bring your own tiles and devise a set that gives you optimal word options. And the loser is banished from the land of Dominaria.
Yeah, I read this and was flummoxxed because bribing a corporation is not illegal. If a supplier wants to sweeten the pot by sending a gift to their customers, there's absolutely nothing illegal about that. It's called good business.
Bribing an employee to award a disadvantageous contract to a supplier isn't illegal, either, but it'll get you shitcanned.
My XBox 360 is almost that old and the only upgrades I've done is new batteries for the controller periodically. And it cost me 300, not the 3000 that a high end "beefy" PC would have.
And it plays ALL of the latest games...
Oops, damn auto-correct. Jaron not Jared.
Silicon Snake Oil 2.0?
The man who set up the station has not been found, but he faces felony charges and fines of at least $10,000 if he is caught.
Why not:

Or:
The person who set up the station has not been found, but faces felony charges and fines of at least $10,000 if caught.
Or:
The being or person (assumed human) who set up the station has not been found, but faces felony charges and fines of at least $10,000 if caught.
Why not RTFA?
I get disappointed that the jokes on TV shows aren't even funnier too.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
