One thing that gets lost in the sauce is he didn’t form Tesla. Tesla existed for a few years but in his typical egomaniacal fashion he demanded to be considered a founder when he purchased it.

Uhhhh, aaaaahhhhhkkkkttttcccchhhuuullly, he did not form an electric car company, he was an early funder (not founder) and bought an early ownership stake. Yes, eventually came to lead the company as well as worked really hard to minimize the involvement of the actual founders. The guy has been an asshat since day one.

Ive always told people “what he’s accomplished is quite incredible. no doubt about it... but he’s a loose cannon, he does not deliver on his word, and I dont trust him.” he’s not stupid, but he isnt a good person either. thankfully, this last month has made that more than abundantly clear for the rest of the world to…

Yeah... I pretty much lost all respect for the guy when he made his “pedo guy” comment about one of the divers who participated in the Tham Luang cave rescue (trapped soccer team). The Amazon movie of what went in to the rescue really highlights the heroism of the divers and, by extension, just how despicable the…

Elon Musk is about the most confusing person. There was a time when I admired him for what he had done. Form both an electric car company and a space company. But because the man cannot keep his mouth shut and makes random and often chaotic decisions. The latest in blurting out that he’d buy Twitter only to try and…

It’s some delicious irony that Tesla wants to reset its corporate headquarters in a state that will not allow it to sell the very product it makes.

Get out the popcorn, the shareholder fight over Musk’s pay is going to get good.

Jimmy Kimmel summed it up best:

good, it took musky all of about 5 minutes to retweet some vile loony BS.  FUCK elon, and the electric horse he rode in on.

Musk has shown much restraint since taking over Twitter.

The Rolls is a very low volume car and is a “feather in the cap” of BMW as well. The only discerning difference you stated is Rolls has already made 300k+ cars which is an advantage but its not like there is a massive secret to how they do it. Also you do realize the entire problem with the bolt fires was LG batteries…

GM isn’t trying to make a profit from this. It’s simply meant to get people to perceive Cadillac in a better light and for GM to flex their skills. You can’t put a price on a good reputation (well, I guess north of $300k)

“ I guess if this asshole is too lazy to learn how to do it correctly...” 

It’s easy to point out what’s terrible. Let’s do “what we need more of”. My nomination: Japanese disco trucks.

Street “takeovers”, “flybys”, ego-burnouts leaving car shows, and general dumbfuckness in the presence of other humans with 3000-4000 lbs weapons needs to stop.

Maybe I’m old now. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent almost 30 years working in motorsports safety in some capacity or other. Maybe it’s because I’m aware that…

The idea that putting others at risk because you think it looks cool is ok. That covers more than just street racing. It includes shit like the Carolina Squat, stretched tires, severe camber, and any other visual mod that negatively impacts the safety of the car.

I’m going to say “Vilifying the thing you don’t like.”

Brand loyalty. Rather than be happy to be around fellow enthusiasts, they tear each other down for the vehicle not having the right badge (as they see it).

The US made strategic as well as policy blunders invading both of those nations, invaded the latter on a lie, and left both nations without making either meaningfully better. Or even worse.

I’m against those wars but did those wars shut down the world economy? No.
