> This does depend on roast; darker roasts have less.

While this is technically true, it's quite misleading because coffee measurements are typically done by weight. Caffeine content between roast levels only differ meaningfully when measuring by volume instead of weight. Coffee beans swell as they are roasted meaning darker roasts are less dense.

The model S has a ground clearance of 6 inches and a center of gravity of 17.5 inches. This thing has a ground clearance of 16 inches. Assuming similar weight distribution, that's a center of gravity of 27.5 inches. Compare that with:

BMW 3 series: 20 inches Subaru BRZ: 18.1 inches Porsche 911 GT3: 17.9 inches

I can't believe there are so many people in this thread that actually like the design. Just goes to show how insanely nerdy the denizens of HN are.

I'm currently in China on a vacation. A few days ago, I was watching TV in my hotel room and CNN was broadcasting Trump's UN speech live. I tuned in as he was talking about China and the trade war. Everything was normal until he said "we're closely monitoring the situation in Hong Kong." Right after he finished that sentence, the channel cut to black for few minutes and came back when he moved on to Iran.

Also, fun fact, HN is blocked here.
