I didn't care, not my car lol. I wasn't looking closely, but the self drive did give me a scare. It suddenly changed lane when there was nothing near us on the highway.

The Elon RDF is strong in this one.
Or it's a 3 year old test mule that's been to the north pole and back?
What is an elon rdf?
Why would you bring a 3 year old test mule with poor fitting to Malibu's Car and Coffee so close to official launch date? I mean I don't see any upside. Presumably everything is production level already by now. Why show pre production vehicles now?
Or like the base 35k Model 3, for sale only for a few weeks.

To be fair, adjusted for inflation and after recent prices cuts, the $39k Model 3 RWD does slot in at that price. Not to mention the generous federal subsidy. Americans don't much like sedans, but the Model 3 is a reasonably affordable one now.Or like the base 35k Model 3, for sale only for a few weeks.
Here's What Happened to the $35,000 Tesla Model 3 | Capital One Auto Navigator
The highly anticipated, affordable Tesla never quite panned out because it didn't fit the company's strategy.
In Texas? Probably give him a medal for keeping the hippies from walking. There is an asshole in our neighborhood that lives by the walking gate to the elementary school that purposely blocks the sidewalk with his truck, so the kids either have to walk through his yard (what I've told my daughter to do) or in the street to go around it. He has plenty of room to not block the sidewalk and in the summer time, he doesn't.
There is a reason why other manufacturers don't make their cars out of thick slabs of stainless steel. The design makes it harder because it essentially demands perfection and the material is difficult to work with. It's a shit design from a manufacturing perspective.
They need to figure out how to integrate a spin Seebeck device into the design so they get free electricity during summer.
Bare stainless reflects most solar radiation.
PV cells would charge the battery a bit and keep the car cooler.
Compared to bare stainless, they'd actually make the car hotter. PVs absorb most solar radiation and convert ~25% to electricity, but the rest heats the material. Non-polished stainless reflects about 65% of solar radiation, polished stainless reflects about 93%.
Even more fun when they see the insurance rates for comprehensive and collision coverage...
You should check out a Model Y or 3 after an hour or so in the sun (no experience with X/S, probably the same). You could cook an egg on that glass roof easy. Miserable thing in the summer sitting in their feeling the heat radiate off it.
