That tesla truck is frackin HIDEOUS! It looks utterly retarded, gimmicky, cartoonish, I mean, there's no way. *storms out of room, slams door shut*

That pictured truck comes to get my car, brings me a loaner if I request, and then returns my car when the service is complete. The service center is 92 miles away.
I also purchased extended warranty to 8 years and 8 years of prepaid service when I ordered the car.

I suspect it was CO (carbon monoxide) not CO2 (carbon dioxide). It doesn't really matter whether the forklift was LP or gasoline, the problem was poor ventilation. And in cold storage that means the fresh air has to be chilled to replace the old. This is exactly the right place for an electric forklift.
You are right on all counts. I was a bit more confused than normal yesterday, I'd been listening to Bob Dylan and trying to make sense of the lyrics.
Yet the smell of propane still will make me slightly nauseous, especially since I got gassed again at the company camp a couple of years ago.
On another note; yesterday I posted
A couple of hours later I drove past a pea green "Cube"; at that moment I realized that not everybody likes the same things I do, and there's no accounting for taste.

What Mr. Tesla desperately needs is a reincarnation of Lee Iacocca to take him by the hand and show him how to design and market an automobile. Un fortunately he would probably not listen because he is ,in his mind at least, the smartest man in the world.

What does he know, he only built PayPal, SpaceX and the non-governmental or defences contractor space industry & Tesla. By the way its Elon Musk, not Tesla, the company is named after genius scientist Nikola Tesla. In all fairness he's a bit of a salesman in the not so flattering way. But he has built the first US automotive company to achieve any real size since what? Before WW2?

Wired takes a look at why the windows broke. A Physics Analysis of Tesla'''s Shattered Cybertruck Windows | WIRED
TL,DR - They have to make guesses based on what they can see from the videos and speculate at points so they make it clear they don't know for sure, but they do make a guess that the demos where they drop the steel ball from a stepladder onto a window laid out flat, may have allowed the window to move due to flex in the mounting brackets, which absorbed some shock. Meanwhile the window mounted in the "sledgehammer proof" door may not have the same ability to absorb some of the impact.
Why the window did not break while they threw wrenches and other things like that at it in testing, but shattered from the steel ball in the demo, is still yet to be determined. Reminds me of when Bill Gates accidentally demonstrated the BSOD to the world, while doing the Windows 98 launch. :thumbsup:
