Lucky kid got fish Linux installed at the factory. Good for him.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing it remain so.

There really is, and you named them. But you forgot about all their legions of anonymous followers who would disparage NASA at their behest to sow baseless discontent.

I would love to have an ESA jacket to go with my NASA one. I would never discourage a child from expressing interest in either organization, and I certainly would never engender tribalism in them by saying “ESA GOOD NASA BAD” or any inversion or variation thereof.

There’s already so much of that, why add more?

There should be no need to defend them, yet there is.

pretty sure it’s not legal to destroy something you don’t own. The fact that he’s getting fined is a pretty clear indicator.

Ok but no one buys NASA. The work they’ve done has been of benefit to the world. Hell, the ESA exists because Europe decided no single European country could build a home grown NASA alone.

I promise you everyone at NASA would rather live in a world where the ESA exists. Let’s not project the tribalism de jure being thrown around by the shit slingers onto organizations that are just as much victims of Fascism and enshittification as we are

The CT has four-wheel steering, so yeah, it’s actually more complicated than a regular truck in that regard. I remember reading something about the mechanisms to make that possible taking up a shitload of room.

pretty much. I believe all the cars use the same motor except for the plaid versions (or maybe just the S plaid?) that has a different motor that’s designed to hit higher rpm’s

His head really does look like his suit is trying to take a very messy shit through its neck hole.

I believe the three motor versions is to add extra power under load to the rear wheels. (A weight/power/range compromise between the 4 and 2 motor versions).

The motors are essentially in line with the wheels (they have gearing but it’s minimal and internal to the motor housing, not attached like an automatic transmission would be, if that makes sense.)

The “three motor” design is just the single motor design up front and the dual motor design in the back.

I’m not sure if they ever actually released the single motor version though.

Look for a dental college. They’re cheap and sometimes even free.

He’ll have a single car delivered this way, and there will be a Tesla robot in the driver’s seat being puppeted by someone in the back seat of a Tahoe driving behind the car (they couldn’t do actual remote because starlink doesn’t cover the delivery area).

They’ll then awkwardly film the whole thing, interview the overenthusiastic stooge they hired to “buy” the car, and fly the mission accomplished banner.
