Meanwhile, Ford has both EV tech and a Police Interceptor model with an established market, yet they will still find a way to sleep through this.

what, they don’t test one or two out before trying to buy a fleet? An all electric present is kinda what Norway has. I’m curious is they use electric cars for police cruisers (even though they probably have way less crime to deal with).

“In a firefight, hide behind the engine block.” In a Tesla, there is no engine block, leaving officers without their preferred cover, he said.

And then you have to decide whether to get electrocuted or eaten by sharks.

It’s the batteries - super heavy, they’ll always sink.

Why doesn’t he just rebrand Tesla as a Parent corporation and have space X, Tesla motors, and maybe a Battery/E-motor company called Tesla Coils or something like that. I don’t know how it all works exactly, but seems to make the most sense at least to me with Tesla inc being considered a tech company.

He’s as good a businessman as Trump is, which is to say, he’s a terrible businessman. Musk has been railroaded out of businesses before because of how bad he is. Both men are often surrounded by others who work to shield them from the consequences of their terrible business decisions. Trump has generally been…

Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a reworked Model 2 given the size of the vehicle and Elon’s tendency to suddenly shift company priorities. It just doesn’t feel like a vehicle designed to replace a taxi/uber.

You can like Mr. Musk’s behavior or not but...

where are all Telsa Musky’s stan fanbois when you need em ??

Tesla stock has much further to fall if the stock price is to align with reality. People forget just how much “future growth” is already priced into the stock; FSD, Tesla Roadster, 250k/year Cybertruck sales, Supercharging expansion, Tesla Semi, cheaper <$30k Model, Robotaxi, Optimus, etc. All of those have been…

I suspect that the “robotaxi” we saw was really just a reworking of the Model 2 prototype that Tesla cancelled a few months ago; which means that at some point it had a steering wheel and pedals. 

My real racer is in forza

And pretty unreliable to boot.

If only there some kind of remote, OnStar like thing that could be triggered to lock thieves in stolen cars and then have them self-destruct. A computerized voice could do a countdown from say 30 seconds (maybe less, testing would need to be done) while interjecting little comments like “don’t you wish that you’d…

I remember when the G35s were a fresh alternative to BMWs and then the G37 came out and how gorgeous it was alongside the 350z, four to-five years of depreciation went by and it all went to shit.  

I suspect maybe they were using what they sold for NEW prices lol since they have both been out of production for a while.

Naw, Altimas are no good for street takeovers, being front-wheel-drive. Hence the Infiniti’s - the official car of douchebags for about twenty years now. Same Big Altima Energy, but in a much more flingable RWD package.

If they were focusing on stealing & destroying Altimas, we’d be celebrating this - each one removed from the road is a step in the right direction.

I can picture this conversation...
