Truly the technology capabilities of Tesla are amazing. Most of what you saw you will never see on the road. D.O.T. and .gov will stop it. Nevertheless, the combination of a car company and a rocket company was briefly amazing. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Musk is truely the greatest industrialist of all time. He makes things happen in real time that are just dreams in everybody elses heads. I hope he stays on our side, and has a very long life. He will develop many things in the future that will hugely enhance our lives. If I were an investor I would would lay money on it. If I were a young person I would scramble to find employment in one of his company's. On a side note, back in the 1970's Jim Hall who owned Chaparral racing in Midland TX developed "The Fan" road racing car that had a large fan underneath that sucked it to the track. It of course was quickly banned because it worked. I was fortunate enough to go to his shop complex in Midland years ago to take pictures of his Indy 500 race car that Unser drove to victory. It was a Ad for Gabriel Shocks who were one of the cars sponsors. While there I asked Jim Hall about the Fan car, his face lite with a smile and he said to me, "you want to see it" I said YA! He walked me over to a shed and slide the shed door back, there it was just sitting there full of dust. I wonder to this day what that car would be worth now. | |||

You are sitting at a redlight and a car is closing on you from behind. Your Tesla leap frogs into the air and other car slides underneath you and misses you. Great safety feature. DOT approval +1 | |||

Regardless of its utility, and regardless of what some may think of Musk, this is an engineering feat you won't see repeated by anyone else for a long, long time. And maybe some spin-offs (no pun). Credit where it's due, Musk is a new order genius - maybe a mad genius, but a genius. Renaissance style. "And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||

Nice! They have come a long way from an electric Lotus, but I wouldn't mind a stripped version of the McMurtry for the rest of us. A light weight single seat short wheelbase car would be loads of fun** **(Yeah, I know that I'd still be stuck behind the same friggen Toyota minivan in the morning, but can't we dream?) | |||
