    Do you know why one side is shiny and the other side is dull? The answer is on the show "how it's made"

    I larnded it when I went to go prove you wrong.

    "Tin" foil's like cars.
    They make one side shiny, and the other side dirty, so you know which side goes up and which side goes
    down... you know, in case there's a mishap and you find you have to... umm... reorient your car.

    EDIT: Indeed, back in the CB radio days (ahem 10-4... Oct. 4th...), one of the favorite valedictory
    comments was "Keep the shiny side up, and the dirty side down." B)

    I saw a Tesla that was kind of a matte pastel black* when we were drivin' home from DC last week -- not sure how you know which side goes "up" if the auto-pilot gets a wild hair or somethin'...

    Knowin' Elon Musk, Tesla prolly makes the underpinnings shiny just to mess with folks' minds.
