If they had added “because we have sufficient pre-order volume to utilize full production volume” to the end of that statement on hybrid custom orders this would be touted as an amazing achievement for electrification.

They’re also likely expecting a lot of the hybrids to be fleet orders. 

I would really like to see more automakers go back to encouraging made-to-order sales.

Forgot one other huge plus: the tires are TUBELESS spokes, which is a fantastic addition to the middleweight bikes.

Welcome to Jalopnik.

but I heard a story on facebook of a guy who died by wearing his seatbelt. Don’t want to take that risk.

Also this just in for news that’s not too surprising, most crash deaths were unbelted and 99% of Covid deaths were those that were unvaccinated. It’s sad, however we can’t force people to have personal reasonability.

plus the obvious one - it’s stupid easy to defeat.

I can’t believe this isn’t satire, but here we are. No one said that he “isn’t very smart”, it said that he’s much less smart than he thinks he is, because his ego is insane. He’s a smart guy who thinks he’s the smartest person who’s ever lived. Also “he got further in life than you have” is a mind-blowingly stupid…

Did Musk give him a script to work off of?

‘Any man who must say, “I am the King”, is no true king.’

Are you new? Not to here... but to the world. Musk did not “single handedly” do anything you note. In fact he’s really the modern day Eddison, taking other people’s work and benefiting from it. He’s a hypeman that steals the limelight from others. He did not “invent” paypal... he FUNDED it. He did not start the…

Wait, doesn’t Tesla trust it’s self-driving enough to be able to navigate a single-lane tunnel?

for anybody who travels to or lives out in the boonies, EVs will remain useless until chargers are everywhere.

He never invented paypal, he had another venture that was acquired and then he was a minor player in the company.

I’m pretty sure he just bought out paypal lmao 

Wow, do you have a body pillow of Musk you snuggle up to before bed too?

So it’s really just like...a taxi cab, but Tesla, and it only goes to one destination? It’s...a shuttle. Basically. Just a shuttle.

At first when I read your comment I was like “oh this is obviously meant to be sarcastic, a parody of those fawning Muskheads who think he really did all that stuff” but .... my god you’re serious aren’t you.
