Yes. I learned to drive in a 454 Vette. I had a 10 second SS. This car still makes me go 'oh shit' when I stomp it.

The follow distance is adjustable, from 1 car length to 7. I find 7 helps calm the nerves, it actually quite far. One thing I noticed is if the car in front of you hits the exit ramp and slows way down the Tesla will slow also until they are way over. That is not good with people behind you. And the auto drive sucks in the city, too many missing lane lines, intersections and so on. It is not ready for the city yet but on the freeway it is really good.

And if you drift in your lane and get too close to the lane line it creates a fake rumble strip...steering wheel vibrates a bit and it makes the noise.

It uses three types of sensors. Forward looking radar to pace the vehicle in front of you. A forward facing camera to see the lanes and lane lines And a boatload of ultrasonic sensors all the way around for short range obstacles and things beside you. When I pull it into the garage I can get the front 1 inches from the wall just using the display on the dash with very little effort.

It is low, and the foot area is considerably lower than the sill along the bottom of the door..so your leg has to go up pretty far as you exit so you can clear it. I can tell you that I was watching the road and what was going on like a hawk. It is nerve wracking, fun...like carving a corner too fast. You also have to keep at least a finger on the wheel. If you don't it yells at you and eventually disengages. It sees everything beside you including bikes and people and won't change lanes if there is something there. I can see that on the dash, it has your car there and displays yellow in the area where something is next to you. Dunno about cinder blocks.

Great seeing you finally again too Rick. No excuse for that as much as we both ride and as close as we are.

Took the turnpike from 77 to Elyria. Never touched the gas, brakes or steering wheel the whole way. It slows down if it catches up to someone and paces them, tap the turn signal and it changes lanes. As I passed people I would wave with both hands. Probably shouldn't have done that to the statie.

Next time. I will get it again.

I just borrowed it, it's my kids.

What time do you get home from work, I am going right by there when I take it back Wednesday.

Complete re-edit after pondering it. Lets make it 3:00 pm.

And it has plates this time! Damn is the auto pilot cool, but spooky as hell at the same time.

Congrats man. You got a great bike and a title. Thats as good as it gets.

See you then pal.

Its the echo chamber effect. One guy comes up with the idea, convinces a few people and it just echo's across the internet forever.

IP is right. We are talking a few months here, not multi year storage.

Are they real Samsung batteries?

That's exactly what I did to your mother.

I think you two should consider something else for Xmas presents. http://mashable.com/2015/12/03/hoverboards-seized-uk/#OlKNqvxdwkqo

Prices sure seem fair compared to most other rental places. I may rent a sport bike next time down for a day just for the shits and giggles.

Cool let's coordinate times. I am free all day, we can meet for wings.

Its probably not the trans. Its a sensor telling the trans to be stupid.

Well, women's hearts shrink faster than men's. So perhaps they become cold hearted bitches? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100913162323.htm On the other hand mens brains shrink faster. So perhaps they become more of a dumbass. http://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/13/us/men-s-brains-shrink-faster-than-women-s-researchers-say.html

Both Saturday and Sunday are looking real good. I will be out.

I have found that having a big dick has kept my wife happy.
