    Why did he take so many sensitive documents that had nothing whatsoever to do with domestic surveillance?
    Why did he choose first to go to Hong Kong instead of a country that didn't have an extradition policy with the US?
    Why did he lie about how much money he made on Ars Technia?
    Why did he go on a obscenity filled tirade against Ben Bernanke when he lost 20k in the stock market?
    Why did he alter his employee evaluation in the CIA which he ended up being forced to resign over?

    These aren't your run-of-the-mill batteries you buy on Amazon.

    "The data clearly shows that for the first 50,000 miles (100,000 km), most Tesla battery packs will lose about 5% of their capacity, but after the 50,000-mile mark, the capacity levels off and it looks like it could be difficult to make a pack degrade by another 5%.

    The trend line actually suggests that the average battery pack could go another 150,000 miles (200,000 miles total) before coming close to 90% capacity."

    500 cycles? It's more than that, but honestly no one really knows. Tesla has the best batteries in operation currently and none of them are that old. Here is more direct data:

    Actually its quite the opposite. Trump supporters have always taken him seriously and not literally. There's a reason he got tens of thousands of people to attend his rally's. But Democrats never listened to him, and never will, and only go by strictly what he says as gospel. So yeah, will be interesting to watch.
