Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

I test drove a Model S. I liked it. The backseat is a little cramped though. Fine for kids, not so good for anyone over 6 feet. That's true for most low cars, of course.
How did you test drive it? My understanding is they are ordered and their is no "car lots" etc. I really don't know much. I live in an area that will not likely get the infrastructure support with in a decade (Minnesota) so most of what I have seen etc. is through the grape vine.

I just filled out this thing[^] and .. decided to email them instead because I don't have a valid ZIP code. They have a thing in Minneapolis, they'd probably let you test drive there.
Wow that's awesome. I may have to take one for a spin! :-D

I am hoping that by the time I retire in a few years they are available in Oz, not just Sydney. I'm with Inman on this, I want one, or possible the small SUV that has been mooted, I'm too bloody big to get into one of those poncy little sports cars.
