Tesla Tech – So Many Levels of Self Driving
I’ve been getting some good feedback on my Tesla tech series. It seems that people enjoy the strange things I’ve told you about the car. But I’ve also noticed that people seem to be getting the impression that I don’t like the car. I actually love the car! Let me explain why I have been […]

I think that the designers at Tesla studied under the school of Steve Jobs and Jony Ives when it comes to making things so minimalistic they’re actually harder to use.

Expect a few extra Podfeet Press emails over the next few days as I fix the Programming By Stealth RSS feed. I’ll talk about how silly I think it is that people feel sorry for Samsung with their folding phones. I’ve got my first installment of Tesla Tech where I’ll tell you all about the […]
