1) Neigâschmeckt, but fully integrated.
2) Holzwald. When I phone them the prefix is longer than the actual number. Used to be a party line not that long ago, too.

Absolutely. Attitude is key, though.

You think? I think it was because he, like plenty of wealthy Saffers at that time, didnât want to live in a South Africa free of Apartheid.
Itâs the Peter Thiel way of thinking about politics that techbros exhibit when they talk about AI or aliens. They canât imagine anyone isnât like them and wouldnât want to destroy and kill once they had the power to do so.

South Africa wasnât free of apartheid yet. Musk was born in 1971 and moved to Canada in 1989.

Apartheid was ending. The negotiations had begun. Botha was out of the picture and de Klerk had already moved in 1989. It was falling like a house of cards and wealthy saffers were showing up around the place convinced that whatever happened the new country wouldnât be for them.
I remember it.
I know who Elon is.

Are there even any chargers there? Or do they have to trickle charge from a wall outlet? And is that even possible with a car made for the 110V market?

Iâm sure someone could kludge something together with a petrol or diesel powered generator, a power converter (not from Tosche station) and whatever electrical bits and bobs are needed, and make it fit in the yuuuge flatbed. No, wait, thatâs where the mount for the light MG goes. HmmâŚ
Well, they can always tow it behind a lorry. As long as the front doesnât fall offâŚ
How about a really long extension cord that reaches to the next 110 V outlet?
This whole thing is so utterly ridiculous, but then that goes for the Cybertruck itself and more or less anything connected with it.
