Something to consider if one has clean air needs.

That cabin air filter will come in handy when you compete in the BAJA 500 race. Of course, you'll be eating a lot of dust as you conserve your battery and complete the course in 3 days instead of one. Those remote solar chargers are so slow. At least they had a porta potty available while you were waiting. Maybe Ana Maria de la Puerto Garcia had some cold tacos left over in her food truck to enjoy while waiting? Haha
Just trying to keep the humor in this thread.

On days the forest fire smoke blows in it is a very nice feature to have.

Nothing to miss until it is needed, and then it saves the driver (in this case me) from breathing all of that smoke.
One of the included features of some new EV's.
ps. there is a 5000+ foot hill at the center of the pic, just cant see it at 7 miles distance.

What I don’t like, is that windshield. They’re trying so hard to lower wind resistance, that they’re angling back the windshield to an absurd angle.
The glass may be 3/16” thickness, but because of that angle, you’re looking through an effective 1/2” to 5/8” of glass. Any optical distortions will be magnified.

Did you know that NASA is the biggest user of helium?

Elon Musk's SpaceX alone is planning a total of 52 launches this year. And that's nothing compared to NASA, the single biggest buyer of helium. NASA consumes approximately 75 million cubic feet annually to cool liquid hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel. Between tech innovation, the future of energy, and the red-hot space race, the helium market is set to increase by 11% every year through 2037.

I think this guy is crazy, he's shorting Tesla so there's that.

Noted Tesla bear says Musk's EV maker could 'go bust,' says stock is worth $14​

"This was really the beginning of the end of the Tesla bubble, which probably, arguably was the biggest stock market bubble in modern history," Lekander, managing partner at investment management firm Clean Energy Transition, said on "Squawk Box Europe."

The latest discovery could put a dent in that 11% increase.
