Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

he probably heard that story about how in WW2 , when a bomber was damaged by enemy fire but still able to come back from a mission, they decided to put armor on the spots that werent damaged on the assumption that the other planes got hit there and didnt make it back. its just counter intuitive enough that he would think 'incredible' and apply that logic to crash tests even though they arent the same at all

so my sister called me the other day and we had a nice chat, and she asked me, well what do you think of elon musk? anyway, long story short, she doesn't want a tesla anymore, and it's all because of you guys

what really changed her mind was the whole, "back doors don't open if the battery's on fire" thing. she's got a kid of carseat age, you see

anyway, thanks dudes

oh man, i've gotta admit i thought the model 3 exterior door handles were a pretty cool design

until i used one and realized the handle isn't mechanically connected to the door latch. It's just hitting a microswitch wired to the door latch actuator...

i've seen a handful of tesla models x at daycare and it's always a temptation to ask these dads (it's always dads) what their plan is to get the babby out of the back after a bad crash like if they have one of those window popping tools or something

This is what kidnappings look like:

A toddler getting tossed into the back seat car that leaks rain water and has a hosed up paint job.

Please call the cops.
