gonna spoof a tesla so that i can supercharge my tinyhome. :twisted:

Imagine some cyberpunk future where people go around with vans full of battery packs spoofing Teslas to steal electricity from superchargers to power their house.

Or dudes pulling up to you in a parking lot, "hey man, you wanna buy some juice, i got 320kwh here.

i could see how some sane production schemes wouldn't get you perfectly sequential stuff

like an actual car manufacturer with multiple production facilities for the same car lines has numbers 10,000 to 20,000 assigned for a given month across both plants, but they just start plant 2's numbers at 15,000 rather than try to keep them in perfect order you know

That's what the first 11 letters/numbers in the vin are for.

Tomorrow is Saturday.

so, say someone buys it as an av and then switches back to their original one an hour later. what happens to the image that the tag points to?

e: and how, sometimes years down the road, do people know what tag to put in the custom text field to bring up a given gang tag?

You're waaaaaaaaay overthinking this.

All your old avs stay there forever. the url is your usernumber followed by the number of your av. Using IOspace as an example, this was her last one



and the one before that



found simply by changing the last number of the av.

Your gang tag was original purchased as an av by user cheese-cube based on the URL https://forums.somethingawful.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=117560

once the image is on the server, you can paste it into your av space. if you want a gang tag someone else has, simply find the url and paste it in there in image tags.

e: lol, this is one someone bought me a long time ago



it had something like "ask me about my fast car" underneath it becuase i was making fun of someone's slow car, and it was hilarious

Trains are old technology anyways, and Elon has a plan to replace them.

He's going to replace them with trucks that can tow multiple trailers that run on their own specific roads. to reduce maintenance costs, the trucks will have metal tires, and the road will also be made of metal. They will steer themselves, with a driver only needed to manage their speed and oversee their operation. This is the future the train dorks are afraid of, and only Elon could have ever invented it, just like he invented ride sharing that only stops at specified points and takes multiple customers at once from point to point, and how he invented just going into the car company's storage site and picking a car out of the lot and buying it.

classic laughchain gold right there.

except for the part where the bandits made out like.....bandits.


It would actually be rad if someone with court case access could find out what happened with sonny vleisides probation thing considering they still probably owe "preorder" customers like a million bitcoins and a BFL monarch can probably mine like 50 cents a year at this point.
