Yes, last time it was stopped by a court, despite the cult members voting yes, as the board was in his pocket, and this time around, the board made ridiculous videos to support the 56 billion dollar payday. So they’re doubling down on doing everything they can to support their idol, regardless of legality.

That seems, er, cumbersome.

Actually a manual transmission and clutch would be useful on some EVs: For starters you could place them in top gear while towing it behind a rental truck so it could use the drive motor as an electric trailer brake. Thus making it easier to move across the country with your EV. If your EV breaks down you could use…

Yeah, sure, unless someone says (as examples) “I’m a fascist/racist/radical” or whatever else, they can’t possibly be arguing fascist/racist/radical ideas.

You're most welcome!

Ni, that is exactly what he is saying. You to are all in with the whataboutism.

$60K for a “backroads” car that is probably not street legal in most places? Yeah, hard pass.

What a shame. They should have kept him long enough to not being able to arrive in time.

Indeed. Nothing tops Tesla, especially not with their cybertruck.

Ah, lovely to see the mind of a 10 year old attempt to defend himself with his feeble mind.

Neither will stop speeders from hurting other peoples. In fact, I think speeders and alcoholics should drive without seatbelts. If they heighten the risk for others, they should be as unprotected as possible themselves.

People who speed (or drive drunk etc.) should get all the annoyance that can be shoved their way. They all forget that the moment they’re out of their car, they too are pedestrians.
