Insane cost overrun! @IbrProgram
Incompetence on full display. Why hasn't the @WaStateAuditor looked into this?

Why is @WSDOT stubbornly proceeding with @IBRProgram's completely impractical, demonstrably harmful "plan"?

didn't someone already own the copyright to "Cybercab", hence the name change?

This makes me so sad. Most car companies would be thrilled to be selling as many of their top of the line models. Example: Jaguar sold 26K units in 2025, about the same as @Tesla Model S + X. Rolls-Royce, only 5,600 units. Please reconsider, @ElonMusk!

"Pricing is dynamic and competitive, as @Tesla owners pay $0.40 per kWh during peak hours (8 a.m. to midnight), dropping to an attractive $0.20/kWh off-peak "
Imagine if #FSD could drive car to charger, plug itself in, and come home while you sleep.

"For ULA, the stakes are existential."
Time's up, ULA. @NASA needs to abandon the failing, #SLS, replace with #SuperHeavy #StartShip

As long as the releases run on HW4, great!
OR if a *free* upgrade to HW5...x is provided for HW4 cars.

Priority: Eliminate all funding for charter schools. In 2024-25, state funding was $158.4 million. The constitution's "paramount duty" does not extend to quasi-private schools.

Even more important to me: The ability to park in my own garage, in which space is limited and there's only about 10 inches to spare at some places. Very precise positioning should be easy for FSD with latest cameras and HW, but it's not available.

@pbeisel greatest shortcoming of FSD is that it cannot be prompted by language, if you could tell it "find a parking spot near the door" or "turn right the block after" the car wouldn't have to guess

8-lane immersed tunnel for $4 billion CAD ($3 billion US).
Compare to insane $17 billion for @IBRProgram bridge.
C'mon, @BobFergusonGov @WSDOT @OregonDOT -- come to your senses.

"Technicians replaced two seals, leading to Thursday’s successful rerun. The countdown clocks went all the way down to the desired 29-second mark.

Insufficient amount for the $17 billion @IBRproject. Where's the rest coming from? Hint: Not 47.
"Bonding of up to $2.5 billion has been authorized for the design, right-of-way, and construction of the IBR"
