Tesla drivers I see fall into 3 categories:
I genuinely don't even know who that demonstration was for other than 12-year-olds. None of these cars have any practical or road applications. Where are you going to need to flip your cap off of a ramp or over some cars? It's so fucking stupid.
It'd be nice to see tsla valued properly. I'd also like to see a European competitor to starlink.
Tanking starlink is a bit of a head scratcher. Cutting off access with that timing seems really boneheaded and short sighted. It had a real chance to be a super surveillance internet 2.0 with constant expensive upkeep.
3% ain't shit
Chinese manufactures are making cars that literally jump over potholes.. And I think they're in production.
Whereas, Elon demos something that will never go to production, is totally useless, and is basically a falling car..
Tesla are so far behind at this point. I bet even the cheap chinese cars don't leak in their boot
I quite appreciate the visceral dislike that people have for Tesla. Given that we see their products directly in our everyday lives, I certainly don't blame people for reacting this way, and I'm happy to encourage this sort of scrutiny, especially over the longer term. I sometimes think, though, that the zeitgeist is missing some of the deeper damage that Musk's enterprises are inflicting. I don't think there's nearly enough journalism about the ongoing effects of DOGE cuts, for example.
And then there's SpaceX. In all the anger over the throttling of Starlink ("Starshield") for the defenders in Ukraine, I haven't seen a single note of awareness about Starlink and LEO satellite megaconstellations being inherently harmful (regardless of who launches them). Aside from the increased orbital collision risk, the atmospheric pollution, and the blinding of astronomical facilities (including asteroid defense), there's the threat to the ozone layer from all that reentering aluminum. All of which will only increase as lunatics continue to use near-orbital space as their dumping ground.
It's a powerful metaphor for our time. When it comes to Tesla, I think there's a good company in there, somewhere. And SpaceX absolutely employs some of the best aerospace talent on the planet, capable of advancing legitimate science and exploration in space. And yet, so many brilliant folk are caught up employing their skills in juvenile displays like flying car stunts and planet-encircling rings of disposable satellites.
Apparently their Q3 earnings report comes out next week, so I guess they tried wheeling out the vaporware car to make number go up before whatever's in that earnings report hits?
Crazy to think how many lives could be saved from hunger by even a fraction of the money that it took to develop this Little Dick Energy stunt show.
Fucking Nazis.
Youre telling me that cancelling 2 of its models and introducing this model, which is priced around s $200,000 and will probably never see the road as is because of safety reasons, will make the company stock go down?
As soon as I saw this thing boost forward using rocket thrust both my bf and I said "if this is ever on the road everyone near this thing dies."
Because some fucking brain dead idiot is going to rocket boost, kill himself from the speed, everyone behind him from the backblast, and everyone in front of him from the giant expensive bullet that was just created.
This is never going to get on the roads, and if it does, it'll be only for police and military, if it's not relegated to an expensive toy for the ultra rich they can't even drive on the road.
Fully self driving stock
It was an impressive tech demo. You know that every idiot who saw this thinks to himself how awesome he would look, jumping over the car in front of him. The ultimate road rage power fantasy.
Love the meme.
