Here's the crater left behind by the industrial explosion in Tianjin, China:

IT'S HAPPENING!



They're one-upping Top Gear by doing the long-awaited race between the three top super cars (a Ferrari LaFerrari, a McLaren P1, and a Porsche 918).  The Top Gear producers could never get the manufacturers to agree to it, but it looks like Amazon three enough money at people to make it happen.

I think his first half is a non sequitur.  And the stylization is just that.  Take for instance Vash the Stampede from Trigun.  There, you can tell, is some effort to appear effortless.

Here's some interesting reading.  Elon Musk has released a revision of his long-term technology plan for Tesla/SolarCity, showing where the companies will be going in the next ~10 years.

Among other things, Tesla will be looking at other vehicle segments (e.g. semis and city buses), full driverless autonomy, and integrating solar power generation and storage into a single unit.  Sounds like good times!
