My dad was a lifelong sailor, and the first time he explained this to me, it just blew my mind. I felt like I’d been admitted to some secret society.

Same. Learning to sail (or in my case windsurf) almost directly up-wind felt like unlocking some kind of hidden magic.

This and sailing upwind was something that filled my idiotic child-self with such joy. And before you ask, yes, I am still an idiotic child.

I didn’t know that I didn’t know this, or that I needed to know this. So thank you 😂

It’s certainly impressive; that being said I strongly suspect that Porsche is underrating their turbocharged engines.

Sure, bud. It’s the Porsche owners who have fragile egos. Not the vapid man-baby who buys entire companies on a whim (only to burn billions by failing by every conceivable metric) and his bootlicking fans.

If anything, it proves Porsches are the Ultimate sports car you can buy. With only 379hp running in the mid 12s, in a manual is wild.

Who cares? Very clearly Tesla cared since they invented the story ...

“Our simulations showed the full 1/4 mi race would be close but with the same net result, so no need to risk it.”

What’s crazy to me is they could have claimed that the Cybertruck can do a 13s quarter mile while towing a car and that would still be extremely impressive. But it’s on-brand for them to cherry pick numbers and misrepresent what their products can actually do.

I just wish he would get to the “recluse” stage of the crazy rich guy life cycle arc.

Elon has gone full Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University, etc. The grift never ends because there’s a sucker born every minute.

This reminds me of when streetwear brand Supreme sold a crowbar with their logo on it

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess anyone who owns a cybertruck does not own any kind of hammer larger than one that comes in one of those cheap Home Depot all-in-one tool kits, and has not nor will not have any use for a heavy sledge hammer.

If Elon’s shenanigans will cause his cars to stop selling, Tesla can still sell random “limited edition” crap and people will buy all of them within seconds. Hammers, shit beer, shit tequila, cyberwhistles...

So fitting that they warn you to not actually use it as a hammer.

FOUND THE PERSON TOO DUMB TO UNDERSTAND A ROUNDABOUT!

Stopping for two seconds is inefficient in time, energy, and morale when there is absolutely no one in sight.

More roundabouts. We need more roundabouts.

We really should be putting up yield signs where 75% of stop signs are at
