I’m Norway, and yeah, I’m sure there are places that don’t abide by the law. But, I’m quite certain the kind of monitoring Tesla appears to be doing would be national news in a hurry, and something that would be cracked down on.

Holy shit. I sometimes forget just how grateful I am to not live where it’s possible/legal to treat people like this.
Compared to their wooden counterparts, windjammers may not be quite as elegant, but I find some of them quite attractive. E.g. Christian Radich.
That ship, btw, was the star in the 1958 film Windjammer. Shot in Cinemiracle, it is well worth a watch.
Would that be because of creasing issues, or are there other practical differences?
I’m worried we’ll get the usual slew of changes for the production version. E.g. hood can’t be that low, pedestrian hazard, can’t have that sheet metal crease there, too expensive, pillars must be thicker for the roof to handle rollover events etc…
And no, I’m not saying safety is silly, I just hate it a tiny bit when designers tease us with stunning designs, designs they know can’t be progressed, as is, beyond a prototype stage.
Aaaaha, the Starion, now I see what you mean (they were all sold as Mitsubishi Starion in Europe, to my knowledge. Not an expert).
With a steady supply of cold’ish water I would guess it would do a decent job of keeping you chilled, and not on fire. Maybe? This is similar in function to systems they deploy on some firetrucks that could be in danger of getting trapped in a burnover. Of course, those keep a truck exterior cool, not an early 20th century raincoat.
Either way, it looks wildly impractical, and the user must have a hard time seeing much.
And an ounce is nowhere close to a decimeter!
I met a mad man in Paris the other day, he was in Seine.
Waiting for the guide on retractable keels…

Commercial jet fuel does not contain lead, though, thank god.
Lead fuel is still used in many piston engine aircraft, so try not to live near a small private plane airport.
I’d be curious to see the dish install. It’s hard to imagine how someone would think it’d go unnoticed, on a warship, no less.
