quote:

Model X is the safest, quickest, and most capable sport utility vehicle in history. Designed as a family car without compromise, Model X comes standard with all-wheel drive, ample seating for up to seven adults, standard active safety features, and up to 295 miles of range on a single charge. And it's the quickest SUV in production, capable of accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds

it's literally a big-cabin model s, and i don't know how you could describe this as the 'most capable sport utility vehicle': it has no sport utility vehicle capabilities

and of course they have their bmw demographic stat

"SUV" doesn't mean what the letters stand for. it's just a marketing initialism that means "large top-heavy family car"

teslas have a great electric powertrain (reliability issues aside), the world's best charging infrastructure, and decent exterior design.

they have lovely human interface design, abysmal attitudes towards ownership and repair, and borderline-illegal messaging around their autopilot system.

Oh nice; I know a bunch of folks dug on Neon Chrome for its scifi/cyberpunk aesthetic - the same company has just released JYDGE, a Dredd-with-the-serials-filed-off twinstick that looks to be an evolutionary step from NC.

My weekend sorted.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/654050/JYDGE/

<edit> I think there's a bonus money-off applied if you buy and already own Neon Chrome, I just got a %40 off the ticket price.

2 hour opinion: I liked NC better I think, it was faster paced; this will make you curse poo poo off you fuckbastard as the RNG decides not to like you again, but as you start to accrue some cash and unlock some of the many powerups, things start to swing back in your favour.

If you are that rare SteamsPerson without a backlog, this is fun enough.

well, for anyone born after 1970, depending on what state or country you were born in, there's a good chance your heel prick is stored indefinitely and may already have been sequenced and put in a law enforcement database, so getting Gattaca'd by your hr department probably isn't the thing most people should worry about

also hopefully such drives can be terraria that only need energy from the outside, rather than be open and require periodic watering and facing risk of algal and fungal infections
