Tesla in trouble again. 750 complaints in the US about vehicles just randomly stopping in the road while driving. Maybe they need to rethink their software development strategy over there.

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Yes they are, at least on the engineering side. No talented software or hardware engineer actually needs to work for Tesla, even if they want to work on electric cars. Elon really needs to stop behaving so erratically. His threat to lay off 10% of staff because he has a bad feeling about the economy seems almost psychotic to me.
and the flirtation with Twitter is something of a minefield...Elon's reliance on China is getting a lot of attention on that front now (not to mention the decline in the stock price of Tesla). Elon rarely asks me for advice, but he'd do well to drop the Twitter notion, focus on Tesla, and try to retain his good engineers who must be fielding a lot of tempting phone calls right now.
OK, Deja Vue all over again:

It's the Delorean Alpha5 EV, gull wing doors and all. According to sources, it will be available in 2024:

No word yet if it includes a flux capacitor, but apparently it has a robust electric motor that can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.99 seconds. Cocaine is optional...
How long to get to 88 mph?
I wonder how the original got to 88mph.
By comparison, by 2003 Toyota Corolla can beat that on the strip.When it launched in 1981, the car had a 130-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 Peugeot-Renault-Volvo engine in the rear of a Lotus frame. Available with manual or automatic transmission, it went to 60 mph in 10.5 seconds and got just 18 miles per gallon
