I knew there was a Reddit thread about it, and there was possibly an April Fool's RFC going in, but I didn't know Google had done this.

It is very legit. In fact, a friend of mine in Nashville is the co-owner of the company that helped with the SFX on this one. She posted it on their company FB page today.

I have some great friends, by the way.

That can be a problem sometimes. And on those cases I'd rather be told up front, because I don't have a problem to just put the radio, or talk, or let you choose the music if I appreciate your taste enough. Much better to have something we both can enjoy than for you to fake a smile through the distorted bass solos in Acid Wolfpack.

This week Tesla announced the Model S 70D, and dropped the Model S 60.  They've also revamped a bunch of their options.  A lot of the stuff which were included in the Tech Package are now standard.  Also included in the S 70D are superchargers, a $2000 option in the S 60.  The S 70D has dual motors (AWD), and increased range over the S 60.

Here's the thing.  Tesla doesn't even plan to put any superchargers in the foreseeable future in this province.  No superchargers, no road trips.

I don't have a garage, or even a driveway, so I can't plug in the car.

Finally, I can't afford it anyway.

So my new-found lust for the new model is pointless.
