I realize Elon Musk is controversial but this story about the car is nothing short of amazing:
Tesla owner in Israel escapes terrorists in Model 3 despite blown tires, dozens of bullet holes
| Quote: | | As it turns out, driving a vehicle with no internal combustion engine and instant torque is quite useful when faced with literal terrorists.
"I distanced myself from them quickly, but I knew I had to reach the hospital as fast as possible, so I drove at a speed of 180 km/h (111 mph) with blown-out tires. The tires began to disintegrate, but the dual propulsion balanced the wheels, some of which were already on the rims." |

BMW loves run flats, but says you need to drive slower than 111 mph on them!!

That's the dual propulsion difference in Teslas that made it possible.

What are literal terrorists? Is it a new category of terrorist?
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities
