Yes, it's the loot box in the app - the referral bonus for Model 3.

Hi! I'm selling a new HPWC connector (got it from the bounty box). It's in its original box, unopened. Seattle area (if you want to pick it up yourself). $400 + delivery.

No. It's more like "avoid freeways" setting on many navigators. Tesla doesn't have it.

This is not true. A car can use CarPlay/AndroidAuto with its own navigation.

Ugh. So much wrongness in your post. First, there is no "resonant frequency of water". Every material absorbs light at specific wavelengths (frequencies), you can view the absorption spectrum for water here: Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia - it's fairly continuous. And even using...

And a bonus feature - Gorgon mode for Sentry (snakes automatically retracted when the car is unlocked). I'm definitely liking this idea more and more!

Hm. Come to think of it, windshield vipers actually would be cool! Even better than snakes on a plane.

This is not how lasers or waveguides work. Lasers can't "sense the heat" and leave the medium. Lasers travel in fiber optic because of an effect called "total internal reflection" - the difference in refractive indices on the interface between media is large enough for the light to bounce back...

Vaporizing 1 cubic centimeter of water requires 2200 Joules of energy. If we assume that this much water falls on the windshield every second (a weak rain, don't even think about a really hard rain) then you need a continuous 2.2kW laser. Such lasers are extremely dangerous. Like, EXTREMELY...

A laser capable of rapidly vaporizing water from a windshield in heavy rainfall would be absolutely illegal to use. Such a laser can easily cause blindness simply from stray reflections (Class-4 laser product).

I haven't checked all states, but the traffic code applies only to public roads in TX, CA and NY. CA has an exception that allows HOAs to request police to treat the private roads as public, but I don't think this ever applies to mall parking lots.

Then politely inform the officer that traffic rules apply only to public roads and that you are always in the driver's seat while on public roads.

Were you on a private territory (like a parking lot)? If yes then the officer has no jurisdiction over it. The traffic rules apply only to public roads. There are exceptions, but they are few. E.g. an officer can legally arrest a drunk driver on private property if there's a reasonable...

BART has a clear no-eating policy with lots of visible signs saying that. The officer first made a verbal warning and then several minutes later proceeded to ask the customer to leave the premises. The customer disputed that and so the officer was entirely entitled to use force to make sure the...

MIEV tried it and actually sold some of them: MIEV - Wikipedia - they tried it a couple more times but wheel motors never worked right.
