Seeing that I have a pretty stressful week ahead at work, I’m going to ignore that until another time when I want to be disappointed by some horrible political plan. 

The Cybertruck is basically the coupe SUV ie. BMW X6 of pickup trucks. You didn’t buy it for space, utility, off roading, towing, work, ergonomics etc. It is purely a styling exercise.

That can only help, but considering how the monster is basically tied with President Biden in the polls, (“Waaaahhh! I suffered inflation under Biden! I’ll put the monster back who started the inflation skyrocketing with his $8 trillion deficit instead!”) I like thinking a lot of voters simply don’t have their vote on…

We know how this will play out. It will start at <$25K but after “option” packages and trim upgrades they will be $40K. This is how $30K Wranglers end up $65-97K.

Here we have Mush Brain, Donald The Felon, who is a pathological liar, a sociopath, and undoubtedly the ultimate—a psychopath—with his Shkreli-like smirk on his flabby face as he constantly rants and raves about the vengeance he’ll impose if (ugh) re-elected. No policies—just promised vengeance. Seriously, WTF?

Trump really wants that rural vote from the guy with the one ton truck, side x side, fishing boat, snowmobile, ice house, dirt bike, and avt, that complains about the cost of gas.

until the new engine fails from the same issue lol.

“It doesn’t have the equivalent of a Citroen 2CV to drag around.” Dude, extremely well put.

Re: power and perception of power, I think it’s easy to forget how much heavier cars are now, even compared with 1998.  Some not-very-thorough Googling suggests this 98 is probably somewhere in the range of 800 to 1000 lbs lighter than a current Challenger, so that “meager” 225 hp goes a lot further because it doesn’t…

Well my Spidey sense is tingling....

The Aston Martin DB7 borrows its tail lights from the Mazda 323. 

At one time the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile used the lightbar and headlights from a Pontiac Grand Prix and tail lights from a Trans-Am

It’s like someone ordered a limited appeal diesel model BMW, checked the box for the auto to eliminate interest from enthusiasts, and saddled it with about the least attractive paint and interior combo possible. Then, over the course of ownership took every opportunity to mod it with aftermarket parts to make it less…

He’s also failing all of them by being stark raving insane, but that’s a different matter.

I’m sorry, but it’s simply not possible for 1 person to do CEO-level work at six companies simultaneously.  He’s clearly figurehead CEO at several, but even then, there’s just no way 1 person can be properly up-to-date on the important metrics at so many companies at once.  He’s basically failing all of them by trying…

What happened to all the homegrown AI supercomputer stuff Tesla was developing? I believe it was called “Mojo”.

These companies are run as if an unstable drug addict was in charge of them (maybe because they are).

Just more reason to not agree to his pay package and also replace him.
I would never buy a Tesla with him at the helm of it.

Ludicrous incompetence from Tesla. GM had the 45-pound tungsten cube issue licked in the 50's! When we were young, we’d drop 45-pound tungsten cubes on each other just to say good morning! Has Musk learned nothing from other car makers?

Doing this destructive shit for clicks...I’m so over it and I wish it wasn’t possible for someone to earn a living this way.
