exactly right - Musk is just got his nose bent out of shape... surprised he didn’t mention the size of his rockets, (which are admittedly very cool as well.)

Not really a classy reaction from Elon, tbh.

No need to send money, I have several Chinese backers who are not yet bankrupt, plus, I’m meeting with investment bankers for an IPO, even though we haven’t built a single truck. You can buy shares at an inflated price after all the company insiders (me) have cashed out.

So cars now pollute more than they did in 1969 and fuel economy is worse? And the air is dirtier and the rivers are more polluted? Is that right. Boy, boomers really suck, don’t they?

can’t spew carbon if its not running. 

You misspelled "American pharmaceutical industry."

Look, the environment is already fucked beyond repair, let’s just party until it’s time to go home. 

This is the biggest difference about the two companies. Porsche, under-promise, over-deliver. Tesla, promise the moon, deliver pizza sometime in the next 2-4 years after you have put down your deposit.

Porsche has always been conservative with its figures. Tesla just makes bold claims and delivers on half of them.

I can make hydrogen at my house. Could you imagine what it would take to produce gasoline at your house? Your statement is not a fair assessment.

So he signs with a Chevrolet team, and if he wins - or even completes race distance and is in the running - Honda eats a little more shit. Win win?

Doesn’t look angry? We’ll see about that.

It doesn’t look angry. We only buy pissed off cars here.

Yep. I see a lot of potential for FE but the street courses are so dinky and tight half of them feel like glorified go-kart tracks.

There was a way to share this news without being an asshole about it.

I was surprised to learn that 346,639 Minis were sold (to whom?) last year

Except MINIs are good. In a sea of near-identical jellybeans... they’re a refreshing injection of personality and fun.

America is getting a great deal! The UK Miata retails over 31k USD with a 1.5L engine. 

You ever look under a Miata? This isn’t a bargain parts bin car. It’s a well engineered car with the adjustability of a race car, with all the features anyone would need, while maintaining a curb weight that nearly matches its former self of 30 years. For ~$30k it's a steal.
