FUD.

Prove it's happening before suggesting a solution to a problem that isn't happening.

Which has never been proven. I can't help but notice that your post is completely evidence-free while making this absurd assertion...

And yet for some reason these exact same people are against vote-by-mail, which by definition involves paper ballots.

Why would they want to do that, if the concern is auditability? Seems vote-by-mail guarantees what you want.

It's weapons-grade bullshit.

Oh, he's going to eat the expense of sending out an 8-digit number of proxy votes now? Every child in America (and their parents as legal guardians) now get a shareholder vote?

This is not happening the same way Trump's voter bribery checks aren't happening.

If that tank is ever ruptured, someone might rethink what they classify as an explosive device. It will instantly kill anyone inside the vehicle, and has a damn good chance of killing anyone within 20 - 30 meters from the flying supersonic debris that once was a car.

The floorpan will be pressed into the asphalt requiring heavy equipment to remove it and refinish the road surface. All glass anywhere near will be shattered.

If that tank is full and it ruptures, there won't be a lot left of the car for emergency responders to deal with.

There will be a nice blast crater, and probably a lot of secondary casualties from the high-speed shrapnel and debris accelerated by the energy release though.

Were you trying for irony, or are you just so stupid you don't see it?

So you've never seen rocks in the street, or chunks of loose asphalt?

What do you suppose happens if that gets sucked up through the fan? You think it magically misses the blades and winks out of existence?

You think Tesla was the first to have this idea? They're only the first ones stupid enough to try to sell it. If this actually does make it onto a production vehicle, it's going to be a lot of useless ballast unless only used in incredibly controlled situations - like immediately after a street sweeper.

This.

So much this.

I can't wait for some yob ripping this around a racetrack in the fall to mulch the foliage like the world's most expensive lawn mower, doing untold damage to the system in the process and probably killing themselves.

Hopefully it's only themselves.

So he shows off some ridiculous Hot Wheels for billionaires bullshit, that will only be available "by invitation" and it's a technological miracle all of a sudden?

Why do I have a feeling there won't be a lot of invitations sent? And the ones that do, will be buried under an NDA that weighs more than the car?

It was an effective spectacle. It worked on you. But it's utterly useless other than some fuckwad with way too much money being able to show his plumage. There's already enough ways to do that.

It's ok, your tires will be gone and your battery flat well before you get to Mach 0.5.

What is the difference? They're both billionaire assholes who would sell you for parts in a few milliseconds if given the chance. They both support the most most corrupt government this country has ever seen. They both buy media companies to silence free speech.

Musk is a fucking douchebag, but Bezos isn't that far behind.

It's hard to sell OEM licenses when OEMs are not selling hardware.

It's the singular thing that got them to think about efficiency - nobody can afford enough RAM to run their shitty operating system, so nobody is buying.

Sending all your data back to themselves.

Literally the only Apple device I use is a corporate Macbook, because they don't allow Linux on the Dell hardware that is the only other option and I'm not going to saddle myself with the Windows shit show.

But you do you.
