A Tesla owner in Texas has revealed how his five-year-old Model S suddenly erupted into flames last month, renewing old safety concerns about the electric sedans. Usmaan Ahmad told the Washington Post he had just pulled off a thoroughfare in Frisco on November 23, when he heard a series of loud metallic bangs emanating from beneath his 2015 Tesla Model S 85D. Ahmad, 41, said he pulled over to the side of the road to inspect the source of the din, when suddenly his car ignited into flames, with balls of fire 'shooting out like a flamethrower' from the front-passenger wheel.

The one feature that’s going to annoy the neighbors is Boombox mode. The option allows the driver to change their horn sound on recently built Telsas that are outfitted with external speakers, like our long-term 2019 Model 3. These range from the usual beep to one of many sounds, including: fart, goat, applause, and "La Cucaracha." The mode also allows for custom sounds to be uploaded from a USB drive. It will be available for all Tesla models with the external "pedestrian [warning] speaker," Musk said via Twitter, "otherwise no external sound generator except actual horn." However, before you have visions of trying to fart in the general direction of passers by, know that this feature only works while the vehicle is parked.

What the hole is going on?

In a place like Washington—small, interconnected, erudite, gossipy—being well-read can create certain advantages. So, too, can seeming well-read. The “Washington bookshelf” is almost a phenomenon in itself, whether in a hotel library, at a think tank office or on the walls behind the cocktail bar at a Georgetown house. And, as with nearly any other demand of busy people and organizations, it can be conjured up wholesale, for a fee.

ONE OF THE enduring mysteries of the 2020 presidential election was Mitch McConnell’s apparent lack of interest in helping to reelect President Donald Trump. From the perspective of the White House, the political press corps, Democrats, and effectively everybody watching the race, there was one major thing they thought would go a long way to delivering four more years for Trump, and that was a major round of stimulus in the weeks before the election, complete with checks destined for voters. Given that a swing of fewer than 100,000 votes in the right states would have flipped the election to Trump, it’s fair to say that such a stimulus could indeed have turned the tide for Trump. Yet McConnell stood in the way. We now know with certainty that the Senate majority leader is well aware of the political value of stimulus checks. “Kelly and David are getting hammered,” McConnell told his Republican flock, explaining why the party would be agreeing not just to a historic-sized piece of legislation, but also to one that included $600 checks for everybody with under a certain income. “Kelly,” of course, is Kelly Loeffler, the wife of the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, appointed to the Senate to replace the retiring Johnny Isaacson, and “David” is David Perdue, the former CEO of Dollar General. Both Loeffler and Perdue are facing runoffs in January, and both have used their perch in the Senate to acquire financial information they used to profit on stock trades. But that’s not why they’re getting hammered. They’re getting hammered over checks. Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have been blasting away for weeks at Perdue and Loeffler for blocking another round of stimulus, and in particular for blocking checks. And so McConnell bent to political reality, doing what he didn’t want to do in order to keep control of the Senate. But if it was a price he was willing to pay for Kelly and David and control of the White House, why wouldn’t he pay the same price to keep control of the White House? The option was available to him. Even if Democratic leaders would have preferred to pass the stimulus after the election, their obstruction beforehand would either have been politically untenable or, if held firm, politically suicidal. So McConnell had the option to press the button, and he knew the button would help Trump, yet he didn’t press it. The only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn is that McConnell did not want to help Trump win.
