We also have to consider the other major Musk lead company Telsa had the best selling car in the world and string of successful cars leading up to that before completely shitting the bed on the Cyber Truck.

I want Starship to be a success and reduce the cost to orbit and beyond, but past success does not in any way guarantee future success.

Well considering the administration has repeatedly called Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good "TERRORISTS", I would consider "1400 ISIS terrorists" a highly dubious statistic, in fact in a brief search for a reputable source of your claim of "1400 ISIS terrorists" I've not found any source for that, link???

You ask "Is, say, 1 in 100 people coming in being a criminal OK?"

Well considering that about 1.4% of the overall population is current incarcerated in our "Land of the Free", yeah 1 in 100 would be an improvement!

People are against ICE in growing numbers because of their tactics of run around hide their identities like bandits and gestapo thugs. Their ignoring of court orders, constant lies, constant blatant violations of the 1st, 2nd, 4th amendments constantly, and violations of rights of people such as immigrants following the processes of asylum, several citizens that have been arrested wrongly, and the terrible tortuous treatment an the joy and pride this corrupt disgusting administration takes in being cruel to people!

Building roofs, parking lots, streets, rail tracks, etc.. are all spaces that could have a canopy installed overhead and solar panels providing power and shading. As solar panels continue to lower in cost the sides of buildings, fences, etc.. There are lots of opportunities to install solar panels in a crowded city.

Well what really is the difference between a missile and a single use drone built to punch through armor? Is the missile not basically a drone and is the drone not a missile?

The question is really if the castings result in more cars being written off as total loss. Any collision severe enough to damage them would likely be severe enough to also total out a car without them as well.

Icons are the most common use case I'd think. But several other things that could be indexed, information about the application, etc...

This is such a silly criticism, of course Tesla's share of the "EV Car" market is going to shrink as more companies sell EV cars. DUH! But that is a silly way to view things, Toyota was never compared on their share of the "Hybrid Car Market", because that is not a real thing, just as the "EV Car" market isn't really a thing, people buy cars and to the extent they cross shop they generally do so across drive trains.

Tesla's share of the overall Automotive market is growing and that is what matters.

The Model S is a tiny and irrelevant portion of Tesla's sales.

Well if you can live with watching the games on delay and can wait a few hours NFL GamePass gets you all the games for ~$100 per season. I hate commercials and they strip them out of the full broadcast after a few hours, the initial upload includes them. And if you want to run through games quickly, they also have a condensed version of the games, the strips out all the dead time, so games are only ~40 minutes.

Well, they signed off on it. They said "Yep, this is good. Let's put our name on it and sell it our customers". So yes, blame them for the quality of their products that they are selling.

I get phantom forward collision warnings on my car quite often, a 2015 VW Jetta TDI SEL. There are a few places where it triggers ~1/3 of the time while driving on a clean road with no other cars around in either direction.

The system doesn't trigger breaking just a warning alarm beep and dash screen warning message, but all these systems are unreliable at this point, even the newer ones have these same false positives and false negatives.

I think that's a bit overblown, but even in that case I think it's a better deal than playing the odds on an ICE car, that the engine was maintained well by previous owners, that the transmission isn't packed full of sawdust to mask its issues until you're down the road.

LOL. I just have to chuckle at trying to bring a moral or ethical argument in favor of banks, given their practices of maximizing of fees they charge to least able to afford them, how they reorder transactions to ensure people go over and they can then extract the most fees.
