Would totally park diagonally across two handicapped-parking spots

I agree. I would drive the shit out of this to Walmart and Aldi.

I’d wager that 0-60 times are lickety-split.

I take driving over well-manicured country club greens isn’t your idea of off-roading, Pleeb?

Hey, they don’t need your help selling these things. But you probably just helped them sell a couple hundred more.

No need for off-road tires if you’re just rolling over people who can’t get out of the way.

I’d like to counter your argument with the Buick LaCrosse interior. I had a 2013 for a year and absolutely loved it.

“American cars are generally terrible on the inside”

This is a particularly moldy take. GM interiors have been much better than the 1988 Celebrity you’re comparing it to in your head.

Jobs also didn’t release the product until it met his personal standards.

And R2D2 just stood there doing NOTHING

There are centuries of combined experience of auto OEMs setting up assembly plants that says his planned timeline is far more than ambitious, but rather foolish, ESPECIALLY considering their cash situation. Part tooling and assembly tooling takes years to design, make and tune-in, and that’s assuming a fully or nearly…

Not only that, but, it isn’t 2009 anymore - there really aren’t that many closed auto plants left out there in anything close to near production ready condition. In the US, there’s maybe 3, including Elio’s site, and at least two of them are likely to go into redevelopment by the end of the year.

That’s a whole lot of hyperbole.

I’ve heard that any company interested in moving to China is usually greeted with “Where do you want us to build you a city?” I have no doubt that if Tesla wanted to produce vehicles in China, they’d have a factory, a work force, and a city to support them, and be churning out cars in 24 months or less. Whether those…

A lie implies intent to deceive. Musk is just so egotistical that he believes he can do things that no one else has come close to, even if he’s tried the same things and failed miserably before.

“Especially as they are now cutting back on CAPEX”

True, but humans in Fremont CA on the surface appear to matter more than humans in China. At least... that’s what the last two decades have taught us.

Corollary, Any intelect sufficiently advanced beyont the limits of the observer’s own will apear to be insanity.

At what point would it be more accurate to describe the timeline as impossible or a flat-out lie rather than insane or overly optimistic?
