Still a huge fan of solar thermal collectors. Yes, let's make a sauron tower surrounded by a mile of mirrors to melt sodium to run our television sets with. this is actually badass

yeah for sure. for some odd reason sodium just doesnt want to go through garden hoses

its still just metal as gently caress though. plus if you build build underground tanks with insulation to hold molten sodium overnight you solve the sunset problem

one of the worst things is that we could cover like 8% of arizona shithole desert with solar plants and feed the entire continent, today, with hvdc, but we have a 1970s rear end ac grid and its tooo haaaaard and all these engineers just go die in a hole about it. like gently caress you

lmao reading the replies there's an emergency mechanical door handle. who the gently caress is going to remember that when everything around them is burning up?

lol and it could break your glass if you use it normally

lol i had this video in my clipboard yeah. we've been able to do frameless doors for 50 years, but with a tesla, the weatherstripping is so hosed up and stupidly designed and trashy that you will prob flex/smash the window when you open

the model S has the rear door release directly above the (likely burning at 1800f) battery tray, but it's no big deal, all good. i'm sure your 7 year old will be able to dodge the flames of the lithium fire engulfing their legs to find this tab and just pop right out!

The gasoline car fire is rare and not as nearly as dramatic as people think. 99% of the time its a fuel line up front, and yes, there'll be a fire, but its not going to explode the whole loving car and make it shoot 30 feet up in the air like in Lethal Weapon or whatever. Gasoline needs a pretty narrow range of aerosolization to do that, either it's just gonna liquid burn or politely fwoomp out 90% of the time.

I would take a fire from a gas vehicle next to me before a tesla fire. with the gas vehicle, the fire department will at least yeet foam on it try to stop it. with a tesla they will literally stand back 100 feet and not even try to extinguish it, because you just can't if you dont have 172,000 lbs of sand to dump on it.

oh yeah my bestie rented an f250 longbed coal roller for our trip down in santa fe and it was loving. impossible. to park normally without the camera

we laughed and took a pic of me completely crawled inside the wheel well, with the tire still on, then we said "gently caress this monstrosity" and turned it in and we drove home in my expedition, which felt like a compact hatchback after that thing

hottest take on shootings since advocating shooting an “unarmed guy with a knife” in the leg

remember when joe biden, on record, said that he told his wife that the best home defense strat was to go out on the porch and "fire two blasts" with a double barreled shotgun to 'scare them', which not only would be ineffective, and not only illegal in a lot of areas, but also signals to them that your gun is now empty and you now need to reload. Literally the loving dumbest and worst strategy possible and he managed to cut that diamond of a take

He gazed up at the enormous fire. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of engineering was hidden beneath the body panels. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved the car.
