Cribbed from NASA? Surely you don’t mean the Douglas DC-X prototype, which was 12m tall compared to the Falcon 9 first stage’s 50m height, had less than 1/100 the thrust, never went higher than 3000m, and was never designed to put a payload into orbit? That’s like saying Boeing “cribbed” the 747 jumbo jet from Cessna…

I wouldn’t take Stern’s word for much.

I see Tesla is now doing with their cars what I used to do with my Bumble profiles. See, I’m not technically lying — you see, I used to be a chiseled, rippling mass of 6'4" muscle.

I am a huge fan of Aux lights (Especially Baja Designs) but all these bros with chinesium lightbars on their trucks can fuck off.

The Gang Dilutes a Brand Name

Model S with 4 motors and 17 seats coming next week. Will beat Taycan.

Finally somebody put some effort into a Chevy interior.

I genuinely think these are just major growing pains for a company that grew too fast for its management and leadership. They are trying to min/max employees without giving them the necessary equipment, training, and conditions to do it. but this is not isolated to Tesla, its common with nearly every manufacturing job…

If you cannot afford the payments at 48 months then buy a cheaper car. There are plenty of other vehicles to pick from that you can actually afford.

What really grinds is that, even if you turn up with $0.5M, there’s this rust proofing that they put on at the factory, there’s nothing they can do about it...

You really think it’s going to take that long?

If only anyone above 6'1" could fit in it, I’d be right there next to you. Instead, I’m in an XC60 and looking for a 1st-gen 4runner surf. Into which I, astonishingly, fit like a glove. I’m 6'7" 280.

You sound like me.

Give them time. Chrysler has been producing defective vehicles for decades.

The same kind of guys to drive to their dealer after the steering failed on them, endangering everyone around them to save a tow charge they can obviously afford if they have a new Wrangler.

Since it’s a TRD Pro, it get’s a locking rear diff, crawl control, skid plates, Fox suspension, I think terrain management, and some other goodies I can’t remember off the top of my head.

I side with Musk on this one. Tripp sounds a whole lot like a few people I’ve had to let go from my office over the years. They walk out the door angry about their entire experience with the company and start citing all the “mistakes” and “unfair decisions” we’ve made over the years and imply they have cause to go…
