Thankfully nothing is ever really removed from the internet.
Such as this picture
Climate traitor
He only wrote that to improve image and sales. He still knows it’s the right thing, but he never cared about that.
Remember when Elon started leaning into being an internet sensation and memelord? I think that’s when his campaign for more power started. Economic power is no longer enough.
His interview with Trump shows nothing less than Elon trying to get himself in good standing with the MAGA crowd. I guess he decided that conservative and reactionary politics are best for amassing power.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Elon runs for president or some other influential position once Trump is gone. He clearly wants to be perceived as a younger, smarter, more moderate Trump.
Thankfully, he can’t run for president. And he’s doing the exact same thing as Trump who even said publicly that he would become a Republican because they are easier to grift.
Thankfully, he can’t run for president
Oh my God, thank Christ.
The U.S. Constitution uses but does not define the phrase “natural born Citizen” and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its exact meaning.
Don’t be too sure. This particular SC might allow Elon to run because…reasons. And by reasons, I mean free chartered flights anywhere in the world, brand new RVs, and paying rent for justices’ mamas.
Why does the whole world think Flanderization is a guide to be followed?
I’ve never heard that word before so I had to look it up. Because obviously my first thought was Ned Flanders from The Simpsons.
For anyone like me here you go…
Flanderization is the process through which a complex fictional character’s essential traits are oversimplified to the point where they constitute their entire personality, or at least exaggerated while other traits remain, over the course of a serial work.
Well, not only those cars suck but also he starts to ignore the ecology part 🤷♂️
Do they suck? Tesla is king when it comes to efficiency. I hate it, I’m in the market for EV and while I’m buying a car on paper of the same spec and at half price… It is a worse car and I wish someone else did model 3 but not tesla.
Hopefully Lucid or Xiaomi (yes I’d sooner give money to them than Musk) come soon enough.
The truck is shit, but I’m with ya on the Model 3. I have a friend with one and it feels nice to ride in. I like the air in front, you can have the air streams come out however you want. Whatever the “go from being stopped to INSANELY FAST SUDDENLY AAAAAAAA” mode is, blew me away. Both my partner and I shrieked—we had never felt that kind of acceleration before.
Have I got a life-changing revelation for you: that acceleration is the hallmark of EVs. You literally could not design an EV with bad acceleration unless you actively limit it. Any EV has that acceleration, not just the Model 3.
Totally untrue. Yes, lots of low end torque is a hallmark of EVs, but there’s still a wide range of how much, and a corresponding range of timing results.
Can you show me a similarity priced EV that goes from 0-60 in like three seconds? I’ve been in other EVs and they all have great instant torque, but none of them had that kind of acceleration.
I prefer my cars with quality testing, hardware that is not consumer grade that lasts more than a year, and mechanical doors so if the battery dies after buckling a kid in the car seat they aren’t trapped in the vehicle with the only option to smash the window. I’d love to live in fear with no guarantee the steering wheel won’t fall off while I’m driving on the highway.
Not to be that guy… But that’s not a thing? Teslas last practically forever by the current standards. 3 hasn’t been around that long to say the same thing.
But also, there is door release for the very thing you’re describing. If owners of the car don’t know it, the fuck are they doing owning a car? To me it’s unthinkable for someone to not know how to open their boot from inside or disengage the dead bolt from inside. That’s just next level stupid. If we were to never touch a car with no defects, we’d be still relying on horses.
Dislike Tesla all you want, he’ll, I’m with you. But not when you use examples like this. Use actual negatives.
I noticed something stupid while on the interstate yesterday and passing or passed by multiple Teslas: they don’t tell you which model they are on the back. If you see a Tesla you like and want to know which Tesla it is, I guess you’ll have to figure that out for yourself.
They only have 4 models (not counting the cyber dump truck) that are pretty easy to tell apart. Small sedan or big sedan, small SUV or big SUV. Then basically do they have a dual motor badge and is that badge underlined (or does it have a plaid logo on the back). There you go. Almost literally all the permutations of Teslas.
Ok, but letting people know what model of car they are looking at is just basic marketing.
Do they need to market anymore than their name though? Marketing is getting you interested in the product. You say “oh that’s a nice Tesla” you go to the site and look from there most likely based on your budget.
(I am by no means a Tesla fan, frankly their build quality sucks) but I really don’t think that you need badges of every type plastered on a car.
Tesla is going to release an ICE car, i guarantee it
Yeah… I doubt that.
There’s just no reason to.
Why move backwards? Why give up the area where you have first mover advantage, making cars of the future, to instead try to compete with auto manufacturers who have been making that kind of car for the last eighty years. It’s a losing proposition. It’s not economical, it’s not smart.
I hope I live long enough to see Musk bankrupt
I’d love that, but the way our stupid society works I think it’s literally impossible to lose that much wealth
