   I inserted it in my photo badge to masquerade as Nikola.

   Looked at the original one (over 20 MB) At ISO 6400, yes very impressive. And I wonder what creates those tiny white like snowflake grains all over the photo? Why white ? Do you know? Beautiful car. I told my wife (Epp) that I would buy one exactly like this one …in twenty years.

   I suspect that is sensor noise from the high ISO. I just added a bit of noise reduction, but the snow is still there. Blame the cosmic rays…

   Yea I do see the effect and result of the noise reduction. Now you have to work on inventing a cosmic ray filter. Canon would love that.

   Saw Tesla in different colors on the roads every day.
   N.T. – A genuine genius who gave things out free, died in debt and ended on a bank note.
   Got mustache? Ben Affleck is getting closer to masquerade as Tesla, they also share a common passion, card-playing.

   At first I thought that after the NYT article that the Tesla was on its way to be the electric Edsel, but I now think I was wrong. This is definitely a cult… I suspect that this will finally make it successful: word of mouth among alpha-geeks looking for the ultimate in oneupsmanship. Running out of juice in the middle of the desert will be a prestige thing, an icebreaker at Silicon Valley cocktail parties sort of thing.

   Heh, it’s funny to find doubters like you still out there… And as a general pattern, it’s only among people that have not driven the car. Hopefully you will get a chance later in the year, or maybe next, and I think you’ll be amazed.
