If Genesis keeps putting out bangers like this, they can call this an artichoke, and I’d happily nod and agree.

Back in my day this is how we hacked into a car.

I like how such articles now have to come with a disclaimer, “hey Teslarati, don't lose your shit". Or maybe I don't like it.

Stop making me want one so bad, Bradley. I saw my first one on the road last weekend, and it’s the best looking 4-door Porsche’s ever made.

And it’s not even that, because a Taycan will fill on a 350v charger in 18 minutes.

[Edit: get to 80 percent in 18 minutes, not full. But you don’t really want to fill an EV to 100 anyway.]

The only metric of a fun road trip is not “I can fill up in under 5 minutes”

Not everything is about “making good time”

really wish it had no cladding and wasnt lifted above what the taycan has.

I mostly look at this news with a bemused “must be nice to have the money to play Kerbal Space Program in real life.”

We should give him a break... dude is just trying hard to return to his home world using all this retrograde Earth technology and, by his reckoning after witnessing the savage capitalism that runs the world, the only way he will succeed is by becoming the richest person on the planet.

You Tesla shorts are all the same! /s

You hit the nail on the head with your points: lack of labeling, small size with no information scent to give you an idea of where to find this, no current mode info. The lack of a park mode is the most distressing, does it do it automatically? If…

No, man, this isn’t a piece shitting on the Richest Man In The World, this is a piece shitting upon some really awful UX decisions. Sad is not being able to deal with actual valid critiques of technology without feeling like it’s an attack on Elon Musk, who I suspect will weather this onslaught just fine.

“The only advantage I can see is perhaps this is cheaper to produce—it’s all in software, and there’s no physical controls for shifting, so that might save some pennies.”

they could do that, sure, or design a usable fucking shifter

Then buy more ham! (send me a check, Big Ham)

OMFG 3 POINT TURNS KILL ME

The fictional city in question, Metropolis, has always been understood to be a NY analogue.
