A local company makes some of the windows for the stealth fighters and bombers. They test X numbers of pieces out of the lot but any piece tested is NOT shipped for use and it is stressed by the impact.

Exactly, any part tested shouldn't be used for another test. But that's about par for the course with a company that burns money by the billions and repairs that take glacial time.

In the Tron future, you don't need material things. Your body also repairs itself while you sleep each 20 minutes per 24 hours.

23 hours, 40 min of fapping seems like a lot.

If this had happened at Ford - and, without exaggeration it never would have with a modern pickup/SUV - the 1-3 marketing managers and their chosen display show supplier would be looking for new career opportunities by Monday morning. They did not “protect” the brand or their busy senior management from themselves. Engineers and designers know very little about these sorts of presentations and shouldn’t have to be concerned - that’s Marketing’s main responsibility. In watching it, the reveal was a fail on so many levels (sound, lighting, validation of claimed technology, Musk’s extremely unprofessional profanity, scripting without flow or answering obvious questions, and the sense of school-boyish fraternal vibe that didn’t genuinely respect the Tradesmen/Tradeswomen who lead/build our economy and awesome country every day. They acted like kids. that got away with something instead of respecting the target customer (Sportsmen/Sportswomen ...who have reliable access to 220V where they hunt/fish/play - and, perhaps illegal drug runners and preppers needing bullet proof stuff); and, all without explaining or properly demonstrating exactly how their expensive new technology (and, shape that was obviously not greatly market-researched ?) can clearly benefit their customer’s lifestyle. Who the heck in our American automotive industry does that to premier such a proud brand as Tesla.
This reveal will be bottled and shown in future Marketing 101 courses (the long used Edsel fail was getting a little out of date) and extremely difficult for them to recover from, and probably spilling over a little to their remarkable cars’ image and trustworthiness.
Wall Street analysts are not the brightest bunch - they are starry-eyed about technology, chasing the latest shiny object - yet, even they’ve already written off this poorly executed experiment.

You get one chance to make a good impression. In our industry that means a LOT of up-front work. They slacked and it cost them, big. Wish it wasn’t an American fail case.

I'm thinking more & more that there's a Tesla in my future, but it won't be that one.

Will it tow a 5000lb boat with gear in the bed of the truck 200 miles?

Maybe Elon Musk is just running some kind of social experiment - see how ridiculous he can behave and still have his cultists defend him.

Or maybe he is changing the shape of things to come

Remember the old saying: "Early bird gets the worm"

he could learn a lot from studying Steve Job's presentations and the prep that went into them.

Shocking he'd spin it that way. We're conducting a civil conversation, but there's a lot of resistance here. There's a potential for so much more, in the current year.

yo Elon, suppose i buy one of these things. and next year, in spring, i want to go see my parents in Wyoming. 900 miles each way. we normally stop in Cheyenne overnight. pretty sure our hotel does not have a recharging station. there is an Exxon station about 1/2 mile away where we normally fill up. assuming i can find an outlet, does this thing work on 110V? what if someone flips the breaker or unplugs me overnight. will i have to wait another day to complete my trip?

You can create routes on their website for charging stations.
