(Except for the diesel, which is still a Daimler engine) Which is a shame, because the Daimler three-banger was a fantastic engine.

NO! Elon! Wave off man, wave off!!!! Mercedes will suck the life force out of your company (if you have any) and then blame you when the arrangment goes south.

For example, when someone says, "I'm the lead in this blockbuster movie that just came out" I interpret that to mean, 'I'm an extra in a student film that is on youtube.' I use the same filter for Tesla press releases. When I go to LA, I always scale the information people provide me back a couple orders of magnitude.
