Oh my god !!
Hehe
Teslaâs model 3 reveal is happening right now for those that are interested.
Can I have one please?
Small update but damn do I want the matte black one from the reveal. It looks so good.
Seperate post because different topic.
BO launched and landed their rocket intended for tourism again yesterday. Its payloaded consisted of a couple of microgravity experiments this time around.
From what I read the rocket has had little to no refurbishment other than replacing comsumables(Fuel, rcs, parachutes for the capsule, etc). I think theyâre going to fly this sucker until it canât fly any more just to test its limit. They also tested a lower engine restart altitude, probably to get data on trajectories closer resembling suicide burns for landing larger rockets whose engine TWR is never <1.
I wish they were able to show more of the carâs specs but I guess weâll see in a few months.
I usually find the matte paintwork looks messy in sunlight. Iâm more partial to the metallic colours.
If only I could make a down-payment D:
Iâve actually never been a fan of matte black on any car. This is stranglely the only time it has ever looked good to me. I think you might be right that it would look worse in sunlight. My top choice for car colours is a dark steel blue or forest green anyways, but black is always a close third.
Me too. Funnily enough the Tesla S has the exact shade I like
Also, easter update of the Gigafactory flyover
The factory doesnât look like itâs âGigaâ - they should add a greeble texture on top for a better scaling effect 
No banana for scale = fail. Câmon Tesla! I expect better from you!
So Iâm looking at those door handles and they look exceptionally flat. Did they make it a push-button entry to reduce drag? Is it mechanical, touch sense, or just key-less entry only? Seems like they could run into problems no matter what choice they went with.
edit: ehhâŚnevermind, theyâre touch-sense/mechanical. I could have saved myself some commentary by just doing a google image search, but I guess i was just living up to my name-sake
What a quick Google image search wonât tell you is that your intuition is correct. A lot of the early models of the S ran into problems with the handles not popping out when the key holder approached. I have heard/assume that this issue has been solved years ago but it definitely existed

Someone made an aircraft hanger in Kerbal Space Program.
No, not that kind of hangar.
That reminds me of an old experimental military project:
Looks like technology to get âusâ to Alpha Centauri in our lifetimes might be possible today.
Relating to that hereâs a direct link to their website:
