I’ve seen that precision purple on a trial build. It’s an awesome color. I would choose that in a heartbeat if I were in the market 

Using the Roadster's thrusters and suction system probably won't help what Tesla's insurance program calls Safety Score:  

Wonder how much the insurance coverage will cost....and, yes I know, the "if you can afford the car, you can afford the insurance." statement would apply.  

We will be going up slightly from last week: 87E10, $4.19; 91E0, $4.95-5.59. Our KwikTrip just went up to $4.29 Reg. this morning and I'm sure the other stations will follow.

This morning's updated gas prices in Hamden, CT 06514 (Greater New Haven)  

Ol' Henry introduced flyin' Fords 100 years ago, prompting a journalist to respond poetically: I dreamed I was an angel And with the angels soared But I was simply touring The heavens in a Ford.

Yea, I'm cautiously optimistic that Ford will head in that direction. It's contingent on getting those UEV products released on time, with high quality, in high volume. Assuming Ford's big shots actually pull it off, it would be very gratifying to see Ford surpass Tesla as the brand that's synonymous with EV for the everyman in the U.S. market.

I just realized how Ford could take a dig at this. Showing a raptor going off a jump or something, and saying "We don't need thrusters to fly". 

Agreed. It's insane. But it doesn't really have any real applications, not even for performance really. From my understanding, fan cars are banned at most racetracks, and obviously are illegal for the road.    It's cool looking, it makes headlines, but that's about it. I feel like Fords gonna actually surpass Tesla when it comes to really meaningful EV breakthroughs like affordable EVs with UEV. Like Ford is winning the race where it counts.
