Back in 2009, Rhys Millen campaigned a fairly badass turbo V6 Hyundai Genesis in Formula Drift. Here he is testing…
This is hardly unusual for Musk. He's not only been pushing other automakers to develop more eco-friendly cars, but he also has a habit of calling out other automaker's failings and bad ideas, including referring to hydrogen programs as "fool cells".
When asked for a response, Musk was quoted as saying:
Take it easy Musk, as of right now you're still a one hit wonder in the automotive world. Lets see how successful the 3 and X are before you can rightfully trash talk.

There was a particular moment we realized it: this car was going to the junkyard.
this car is fucking wild. The amount of work and engineering frank has put into it is outstanding! Knowing him, he took it home after this video and rebuilt the transmission because Jay missed a few shifts. Crazy work ethic. I really want a video of Frank driving, honestly Jay drives it like a bit of a pussy.…
Between 20 and 36psi, the car uses the mixture of pump gas and alcohol to increase the octane rating and get those 680 horses at the wheels from that built 1.8 four banger.
