SO GOOD! Ive never "seen" a sonic boom before! Nice view of the landing, too, with good demonstration of horizontal control.

"the breeze"!!??:D

Not sure if the highlighting is yours or someone else's, but the UN-highlighted part is insane: "return to launch site"!!??

Wow. Spectacular positive numbers. (Raises a philosophical question- how many do you need to land safely before you call it Safe for Humans?)

Great idea- the extra space hidden below the boot (or trunk, as you all seem to know it) would be perfect for the fentanyl, remi, midaz and, most importantly, your Milk of Human Kindness (aka Jacko Juice). Heaps of space for the ventilator in the back. Larry's, NPAs and tubes in the frunk. Have...

This is an underrated feature. You can fit insane amounts of stuff in an S

Looks fantastic. Outside looks near-perfect, more than good enough and sooooo desirable...

Yep, good review. Astonishing value for money. A bit quicker than I expected in Aussie-spec, too

Car wrap is very pretty, but I can't help seeing a kid's first try at using modelling clay, with Mt Rushmore to the left and a phallus in the middle....

Pretty exciting for all you M3P owners! Please drive safely and if you DO use any spurts, don't piss anyone off!! We want to avoid any Tesla hate, so we can all continue to FLY (but under the radar😁)

As a well-recognised non-expert in flight physics, I am sure your approach would be helpful, but I'm sure that getting the aerodynamics right to decrease friction at the flap base would be contributory as well.

If SpaceX places those massive-looking baffles, will they be able to re-engineer the rocket with less material in its walls as the baffle can provide some strength in terms of preventing bowing / compression of the body / tank of the rocket? There looks to be a lot of added mass, but...

I would buy a Taycan if they weren't so expensive here. Model S prices (when available) matched USA ones. Taycan prices were USA x 1.8

🤣🤣🤣

Makes sense. I didn't recall the freeze.

Doesn't sound much like Musk/ SpaceX to me!

This was such a "cool" novel idea- a pity it didn't come to pass

This is untrue, at least as a sequitur. Deceleration does not add any heat to the spacecraft. Stress, yes. Heat, no. Slower deceleration will result in more time at high speed and so results in more heat, not less.

I can't remember the shitty '80's source for it, but whenever I use my mirrors, I hear in my head "They can jam every instrument except for your eyes"

Jeepers, I'd buy that in a heartbeat! But, I would buy the Plaid pretty damn quick, too.

Hey, ZeeDoctor: If they offered the Plaid S right now in Australia: Would you buy one?????

Isnt the problem simply one of knowing which group controls which territory at which time? ie very very difficult to know

wowowowow pretty super stuff! Not the interior I am used to, but a great piece of engineering :)

Not me, ZD

GRTEAT idea! Musk will champion that for sure!

Sorry, was not aware of other thread, but I take both your point(s) and his

Stop being stupid. You are asking him to cough up tens of thousands of dollars when he is asking people to spend money that they were going to spend anyway in a consciously anti-fossil fuel way. Just cos he's not charismatic doesn't make him wrong.

Seems fine. Push the button and say "Honk the horn" 🤣

TBH, I am surprised that they are going at all. Safe trip!

Wow! Sensational video - spellbinding, even though I knew what happens in the end :) Thanks very much for sharing!

https://cleantechnica.com/2024/04/12/teslas-for-india-at-last/ RHD cars to be made in Germany. Initially, Model Y only. Maybe a Model S one day? The Indians deserve one! (and then maybe us, too...)

Doesn't happen so much in my current car, used to turn it off in the car when I first sat in it in the morning

The new seats look sporty- Wonder if there are any other changes (cough camera cough cough lighting cough wheeze)?

Is this when you drive away from home and the car changes from WiFi to 4G? I had the same prob in my old S and found that having wifi off for a minute when leaving made the transition / acquisition of broadband much faster

Agreed. like a cranky flock in a tree. Not a single consistent tone.,

I think probably not, as it is not a volume seller. But I wish they would- it would fix the door, handle and hatch problems, but maybe not worth their retooling costs. I suspect Taycan is nicely built, and the new one looks like it has fixed ALL the issues with the old. Just need to pony up a...

One more word against hinges and I'm reporting you

Sitchair! That's how it's done. No such thing as too much light these days

🤣 I try to keep it simple, like 1/8" (Or mm if your up for it 😇)

Thanks. I think inconel is extremely difficult to work, and combining it with ceramic must be a trek. So 250K sounds almost aspirational to me. SpaceX continues to change the face of launches to space....

That sounds SUPER high-tech, but SPECTACULARLY expensive- do we have an idea of the cost /engine??

Take it and run, I say Edit: Ooops! I see i was too late...

BIWYSI

Will there be titanium grid fins on the discarded Super Heavy booster? Asking for a friend....

🤣🤣🤣

Mummy used to call me that when I was four! Hoping all of Sorka's predictions are true- and the damned thing comes DownUnder.... (sorry Sorka!)

Ambient lighting is a waste of electricity, but the bumper camera is a boon when USS is unavailable. {what I REALLY want is 48v architecture so they can put the steering wheel on the RIGHT side....]

I'm getting a tattoo of this on my left forearm

Well-played, Sorka

Yellow zip tie is an interesting choice! Is it a structural member ie is it the bit that pulls out the bit you have to Remove Before Flight? Seems a little on the fragile side GREAT photo, btw!
