#1. It’s Japan. They’ve never needed an excuse for obscure, niche contests.
#2. It’s Jalopnik. At least this one has cars and driving. Be thankful.

Neat, but could he repeat it? I’d then call that god-level skill. Until then - undetermined mix of skill and luck.

They’ll have to keep operating it with wires supporting it or have it sit down almost immediately because there’s no way that robot has enough battery power to function on its feet for more than a couple of minutes.

It’s similar to motorcycle slow races. It usually very fun for those participating but doesn’t make much sense to anyone else. It’s just people having fun.

I thought it was neat

Here’s what happened: he knew exactly the kind of man Musk is and is totally aligned with it. He bought a CT, and then probably started getting blowback from his own business when clients found out, and now he’s trying to claims he doesn’t like Musk and is “conflicted” but definitely not giving up is incEl Camino. 

Some countries restrict the engine size and/or power output of new licensed drivers.

“UUUUUNNNNHHHH!” —It made me say it.

He’s an investment banker. He has only one value, and that is “I take other people’s money.”

Yeah, by the time it became possible to own a Cybertruck, it had already been extremely clear for quite some time that Musk was a right-wing lunatic.  This guy is simply realizing that it trickles down to him too.

How are you doing? It’s amazing. It’s so amazing. We should send you into, I’ve always said get some of these guys. I have a lot of friends in that world. I don’t know. I think, isn’t Roger Penske, like, a great guy? The guy won 20 Indianapolis 500s. This guy (pointing to Childress) wins all the time. I mean, we…

Taking Musk/Trump out of the equation, exactly what values was he trying to project with a Cybertruck to begin with?

This is further proof that just because you have money doesn’t mean you’re smart. And its also further proof that people are morons and will follow someone they think is a “leader” because they think that being financially successful is all there is to it. Trump and Musk are in the same kind of person. People with…

Elon is the only reason I don’t have a Tesla sitting in my driveway right now. I can’t be the only one.

The Tesla stock bubble pop is going to be really enjoyable to watch. 

I’d say from Elon’s perspective, his antics are four-dimensional thinking that’ll work in Tesla’s favor. The reality: it’s one-dimensional for Tesla...straight down the toilet.

favorability has dropped from 39 percent in January to 16 percent in July

Ah yes, 8 billion people on this planet and they will all be able to afford a robot. When many of them can’t afford food, healthcare, or safe working conditions. Some of them even work at Tesla.

I just can’t help but think that if Elon had focused on building an affordable EV for the masses, actually promoted a green agenda, supported the politicians and buyers that see the value in EVs, and built out a for-profit nationwide charging network for all, man... Tesla would absolutely OWN the EV market and the…

Let’s just emphasize: couldn’t rebuild a country that was already the wealthiest one in the world by a substantial margin.
