@tesla_jokes Why? What’s the issue with a front plate? If you’re worried about aero, get a stick on plate (it’s legal) instead of a screw on plastic plate.

[Anthony Hunt @achunt]

@PeterDiamandis Well that’s incorrect. Cars with level 2 assisted driving are safer. So far self-driving Tesla robo taxis have an accident rate 4x higher than humans. I’m certain it’ll get there, but it’s a way off yet.

@MusicForUrbanM1 @PulpLibrarian What they thought was a meteor shower was a satellite weapon designed to blind people, possibly fired by accident. The sickness after was probably a bio weapon. This made the Triffid scourge possible.

@wtfahhh0 Probably got them done under a red sun. Clark mentioned her visiting systems with red suns so she could get drunk. She has no powers under a red sun.

@tesla_jokes None of which are in the UK, on UK roads, with narrower lanes, cars on the left, different road signs. The majority of Tesla training data would be useless here. We’ve seen how badly adaptive driving systems cope with poor lane markings, narrow poorly maintained roads.

@CoveredGeekly Didn’t Disney already do that?

[Anthony Hunt @achunt]

@CoveredGeekly Yeah, they are so right. SG-1 ran for 10 series because it had no broad appeal. 🤦‍♂️

@ctrlaltrefuel @eV_Newt Pumping fuel *might* take five minutes. Driving to a fuel station, parking, filling up, paying then driving home, not so much…

@LarryJones You missed a few, like “used 8 inch discs” “loaded a computer game from cassette tape” “had a pen pal” “played a board game” “rode in a car without seat belts”

@ctrlaltrefuel @eV_Newt Mirai. Is that code for “snake oil”? Don’t fret. Toyota will retro fit them with their super-advanced solid-state battery, announced… in 2015.

@A1GOY My view is pretty simple. Is it aspirational? Would I want a poster of it on my wall? & the immediate answer is “no”. Halo cars, IMO, should turn heads, make people go “wow”, be sexy. The Luce isn’t. It’s not ugly. It’s just “meh”. A sanitised version of the Dodge M4S..?

@emkwan If you put a Honda logo on it & said it was an Accord EV, nobody would bat an eye. But nobody is going to put a poster of a Luce on their bedroom wall! EVs can be eye catching. If you painted a Caterham Project V red & put a prancing horse on it, nobody would bat an eye either.

@benonwine It wasn’t that we had a hot day or two, it was hot for weeks without a break. My memory is of woodland fires around our village.
