That means half the city is underground, and therefore not accessible by bike. Yes. And yes, I live here, thank you, I can walk across the breadth of downtown in 15 minutes. I can also walk to the top of the hill known as Mont Royal. It's not very high... The rest of the island is just suburb after suburb, easily biked as well. So, you live in Montreal too?
If I had a better job I'd have lined up too. One of the few (only??) benefits of living in Quebec is the hydro power. But I remain carless for now, Montreal is not a very large city and I can still bike around at my august age.
But from all comments, the Teslas seem like quality cars, good for Musk! Shake up the establishment!
Just how far are we from Niven's autodocs now? We could medicate the psychopaths among us, so instead of becoming CEOs that steal and plunder ever more, we could neutralize their harmful tendencies humanely, and finally usher in the post-industrial leisure society?

You think that's noisy? I guess you missed out on the first ones powered by two stroke engines? Or the pulsejets?
The first time, we built full-size planes, then we built models that look like them. Now, we are building model planes with these:

Have you replaced all your GaAs PAs with GaN yet? Why not?
The potholes here have their own lot numbers at the land registry!
Don't forget Hydro Quebec!
"A very, very long way."
OK, but there's a way? Just kidding. I know it's just a figment of a terrible sci-fi writer's imagination.

Can you need so many people for something like this? Marketers and lawyers, sure, but how many technical people do you need for this?
