Life is full of little disappointments. That's why it's so refreshing to occasionally see someone do something grand, and just a bit nutty. Like Elon Musk setting up a fully functional production tent in the Tesla's factory's backyard, in a improbable--and thus far successful!--bid to hit his 2018 production targets. Like a developer taking a polluted ex-Ford factory in Minnesota and trying to turn it into a walker-friendly, net-zero energy planned community. Like the mere existence of the Polaris Slingshot, which is not quite a car and not quite a motorcycle, but tells us some important things about the future of transportation. This week, it was all about lofty goals.
