Something something messed around and are finding out. Sounds a lot like what’s going to happen over the next few years.

Thank goodness it became an internet thing and the cops and Queens DA actually pursued it. 

Meme stock and meme election. His last minute pleading on Rogan to 40,000,000 crypto-boy wannabes worked - we had a Game Stop election.

I ride my bike and beat my car driving friends who leave at the same time. This is in like a 3 mile radius - which is pretty huge and contains everything I need. 

Turbo AWD off road / rally ready sports car you say? Grab a 12 year old TTRS (not pictured). Stock ~360hp and fake Quattro (Haldex).

I don’t see the crushing as a punishment, but more like crushing a gun (see Australia), it disables it and takes it off the street.  But that’s what makes the the stolen vehicle component more difficult.  Stolen is stolen and needs to be returned to the owner, and I assume that would be the case with this.  IANAL and…

If you’re not exhausted after driving from the amount of focus and effort you put into not killing someone, then you aren’t trying hard enough to be safe.

Maybe too much sim racing - like he’s out of touch with the fragility of human flesh. There are no real life consequences in the racing seat that he spends the most time in.

Mr South Africa seems to have a way with skirting around US legalities. He’s been accused of things like... Full Self-Driving is called “driver-assistance” so it’s legal, this lightbar thing, skirts labor regulations (firings for unions, appeals and settling out of court). Boring company making deals with local govs…

More drone FUD. “Swarmed”? That infers that there are a bunch at the same time and our brains then imagine small multirotor drones, not 20' drones that are basically small planes. How do RC planes get such a pass compared to RC multirotor toys? I digress, anyway, you really need to be more clear about these things…

Nothing here is substantial enough to say anything more than “well, how about that” in the tone of your grandma. Those visuals are nothing but visuals. No vehicle will be remotely like what was shown.

8s have always intrigued me. This adds to that. It could dial back a bit, but overall I’ll allow it. Some of the lines are quite nice.

That photo of Musk hilarious. He’s looking for approval - “Look at me and my dark MAGA hat! No one cares about me.” Wait, who said that last part?

Looks like it’s sporting some Michelin Pilot Sport of sorts. 

I realize it’s fun to be part of new tech development, but come on. Elon can certainly afford to pay dedicated testers and not have customers do it for free pay for the privilege. We’re suckers. But it is pretty hard to get those 2,000,000,000 miles of driving data any other way.

In the old days we’d ‘shop each one into a wagon. Oh, how the internet has changed.  

We bedazzle our jean jackets, they pay $25k for one carbon wheel. It doesn’t take much to get far enough from stock to make it no longer a reasonable car for anyone other than the owner. Of course it depends what you’re into. Rich folks like to personalize things as much as us poor folks. Sometimes with taste and…

This isn’t the first time. I’ve seen a bunny costume in Santa Monica 15 years ago stepping into the street to check for stopping traffic. It used to work - one step into the street and cars would stop for you. It was refreshing.

Talk to me while I’m driving.

It might have something to do with just how sketchy public transit can be.
