The thing that is hilarious is Las Vegas already has a monorail and multiple automated people movers (CityCenter, McCarran) and they were still like, yeah, lets do this idiotic Tesla in tunnel thing.

is the las vegas loop still one way or did they dig a second tunnel so cars can go both ways at the same time

Musk just spoke at a Mars Society convention and said Starship could go to Mars in 2024. They've been working on it since 2012 - almost a decade - and they have engines bolted to fuel tanks for the second stage. The first stage does not exist. The life support system does not exist and nothing like what they'll need ever has existed. For reference the SLS was announced 6 months prior to the

Owling Howl posted:Musk just spoke at a Mars Society convention and said Starship could go to Mars in 2024. Everyone wants to ignore the boring stuff, but if you just figure in water needed, and the water reclamation efficiency of the iss (which is the best we've done to date), some quick napkin math shows the ludicrous amount of water you would need to ship for a multi-year trip. But everyone is juiced up on USS enterprise fantasies and ignoring all the little things that need to be done. If Starship flies to orbit and lands by 2024, I'll be surprised. If it carries humans by 2028 I'll be shocked. If it leaves Leo by 2030 I'll be amazed. If it ever ever goes to Mars I'll fall over dead.

Musk is brilliant, just an absolute freak of nature hercules of a man, he could do absolutely anything and is possibly smarter than einstein himself. He runs his companies out of his garage right? Amazing he can build those cars and rockets in such a small place with only his own tools and napkin sketches

I think I remember figuring for a crew of 8 to 12 for the safety margins of duration, they need to truck 50 some tons of water with them, while being as efficient as the iss.

quote:I bought a Tesla Model S last November. Tesla accidentally sent the car to Hawaii (!) when I'm in California. The first I know about this is when I get a phone call from Tesla in Honolulu asking for my local address to deliver the car. I refused that car although I had already paid the full price, and (of course) Tesla deducted my small deposit from my credit despite the fact it was their mistake that made me cancel the purchase.

Colostomy Bag posted:The Tesla service personnel seem to be inexperienced and have zero idea how to treat customers - specially customers with cars costing around $90,000 - they are borderline rude, don't seem to care about their work. Perhaps it's because they are so rushed by of the sheer number of customers. no it's because they know paypigs don't deserve good service

Karl Sharks posted:no it's because they know paypigs don't deserve good service It’s this. They treat you like garbage because they know you’re going to buy the car anyway. They could knock you down in the parking lot, squat over your face, and poo poo directly into your mouth and eyes, and you’d swallow, drive the car home, and make a slightly piqued post on an Internet forum wherein you would be sure to use the phrase “I still love the car.” In that post you’d say that it wasn’t very professional for the Tesla service people to poo poo on your face, and that they should have poo poo into a bag and let you take it home to apply at your leisure, and a dozen other posters would leap on you and attack you for being a short and a fudster, just like you did to the last person you saw make a mild criticism of Tesla. Tesla has contempt for their customers because their customers are contemptible.
