While it is absolutely normal, a) the fact that a company is willing to wholesale cut dedicated workers loose at the drop of a hat *shouldn’t be normal*, and is part of the problem with late-stage capitalism, and b) if the goal, as often stated by Elon, is to have “hardcore”, undyingly dedicated employees, this is the…

That was my first thought. The word “crew” does a lot of lifting when that crew is 1 or 2 people. They probably got docked for a late arrival, too.

I think we’re missing the bigger issue here. That statue (S. C. Code § 56-5-4445) says that you can’t lift anything but pickups over 6in. An exception is carved out for pickups, but everything else has to be kept under 6in!

So he axes the very team that gives his company its currently biggest advantage?  Boy I wish they had a PR dept to explain this one, because in the world of head-scratchers, this is the biggest.

That was my first thought. The Supercharger network is one of Tesla’s few and (mostly) unqualified successes. So definitely start gutting that department. That’s some hardcore big business ketamine adderall brain thinking going on there.

The scary thing is that he actually thinks that way.  When he took over Twitter, one of his first cost-saving measures was to simply stop paying rent on all the company’s office spaces.

Ha! Let’s kneecap the one thing (Superchargers) that set Tesla apart from anyone else at this point. 

A lot of these can be lumped into one overarching rule: BE PREDICTABLE.

There are enough stories out there of Cops not being professional. I’ve only had one where it wasn’t a professional interaction and it was more on my side than his.

I think part of the problem is that iconic liveries are also related to major sponsors.

art car-ish harlequin-ish mustang. i like it, picasso.

I’m tired of not having unique thoughts. I also thought “Ford’s take on BMW art cars” and I don’t hate it either.

They are kind of going for a BMW art car vibe.  I think it looks nice.  Their mistake really is just referencing all of those previous liveries instead of allowing this to be it’s own thing.  

What is goinkg on with your keyboard?

Better car than the Mustang, too.

Man remember all the colors you could get from a freakin Mirage?

TVR never made a bad car. Insanely dangerous cars, yes. Often unreliable and bizarre cars, supercheck, but bad? Nah. TVR made TVR cars, and they were all awesome... if you survived the drive.

anyone who willingly bought a cybertruck after knowing everything about Elon and Tesla honestly deserves to have their trucks bricked lol 

I did not have Hank Green appears on Jalopnik on my 2024 bingo card!
