I can't wait to pull up to my brothers' driveway in low rider mode (he's a big lift fan) and have him say "That's disgusting!"
As I lift it to full height (from my phone), I wanna see the look on his face. :love:

As an engineer, I interpret almost everything at face value because I do not have the time to consider all the ways what a person says can be interpreted and respond based on some weighted interpretation of what I know about that person, the situational context, and my list of possible interpretations. What a waste. Long story short, it is best to not use sarcasm with me in this forum :)
I'm am literally never literal.

I can deliver sarcasm face to face and people have a hard time telling that I am being sarcastic (as intented.) Text is an even easier medium for accomplishing that, as it is much harder to detect sarcasm without tone and inflection.

to comment on the original video, my concern with this air suspension is that I don’t want to have to pay for air every time I want to raise my suspension. Plus, there are few gas stations around me who sell air. I might just put it at middle height and never lower it.
Is your second paragraph sarcasm? You do know that the CT has a built-in air compressor and doesn't have a way to fill it's air tanks with an outside air compressor. My information is the CT's air compressor is used regularly to balance the suspension, especially while going over garbages on the road. I have air shocks on my truck and they don't take much energy to increase the air pressure in my shocks. The CT's system is much more involved than mine and I'm sure it works a lot better and doesn't take that much power to recharge the air compressor tanks.

Maybe you get a CT for Christmas(?)

I would argue that for the CT, looks might be a bit deceiving. It may look like a race truck but I'm thinking it will still have all the capabilities of a 'Real Truck'.

Many have tried to tell me that there is no way it will be a Race Truck either though. Let's wait a bit to find out for sure once specs are announced and then the first ones out the door start showing up in videos doing crazy unexpected stuff.

I'm having a flashback after doing the searches for Tweets from Elon. I keep thinking of all the kids in the world with the same name. I wonder how they are dealing with the fact that they share a name with Elon.

Tesla already provides a map of where you can find charging stations. Crossing my fingers that they add in locations where you can stop for air. Especially if it includes the price. Air used to be free most of the time. But I’m old so that was pretty far back. These days it seems they are few and far between. Would love for the map to tell me where I could get free air.
Ehh, in Cali gas stations are required to provide free air. A lot of peeps don't know this, which is why they still sell air for like 75 cents a pop. If you just ask, they'll turn it on for free.
But you'll be driving a CYBERTRUCK, dude! You got air onboard! You could be selling that shit on the side of the road!!!

? We're going to fucking Mars with no flats forever.
Both ways!

I have to agree with you. The problem with interacting with people is that each person comes into a conversation from their own perspective, point of view, set of experiences, etc. If you live in a world where people use sarcasm a lot then you interpret statements as possibly sarcastic. But you cannot impose that expectation on others; we all interpret in whatever way we do. As an engineer, I interpret almost everything at face value because I do not have the time to consider all the ways what a person says can be interpreted and respond based on some weighted interpretation of what I know about that person, the situational context, and my list of possible interpretations.

I agree. As a Space-Time traveler since the 1980's 1960's 1920's 1700's 5 million BC, I can attest that sarcasm is wasted on most of humanity. However, there are a few instances where it can be useful, as in an encounter between Lady Flimflam and Sir Winston Churchill:
Lady F: You are a horrid man, Mr. Churchill. If you were my husband, I would put poison in your tea.
Churchill: Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it.
Right?

Seems like follow-on /s often gets misinterpreted as being sincere and mistaken for not understanding the original /s.

Perhaps I am getting too deep.

I think you're definitely too deep when you realize you're responding to your own comment...

Responding to my own comment was to address the symptoms I was seeing from others without calling them out on their own behavior. No need to start a flame war with someone who doesn’t see sarcasm.

Today I learned that Wisconsin was debating a law to block towns from restricting gasoline powered vehicles and tools... but that they don't require gas stations to have air for tires.

Like, WTF?

Just take a deep breath and it will come to you.
