For the sake of the truck driver I can only hope that he was
1) unhurt
2) wimpier than the Chiron drivers. Otherwise, in his place, I would have beat the living shit out of those two assholes.

Wasn’t there a crash a couple of months ago with some rich kid in a Lambo or Ferrari doing EXACTLY the same?

You never overtake somebody that are waiting to overtake themselves. They are focused on the road ahead of them and not behind them.

Yes, here it is;

I’m summoning Elon’s stan fanbois right now to ask what’s their opinion on this one ??

Rich asshats gonna do asshattery.

I’m struggling to understand how a guy who spent $44B to buy a company that is worth less than half that now is even in the same county as the running for the leader of an “efficiency” department.

You must be new here.

Unfortunately for us, since this only happened yesterday, we don’t know much, but we’re going to fight as hard as we can to keep the comments under the new owners. The good news, the company that bought us is an actual media company and not some random AI startup just looking to buy a name, so while I’m sure there…

This is a shitty timeline we’re living in.

Oh no the hit bigot is hollering what ever will I do

Just looked it up. Light bars are NOT illegal (at least in California), they just need to be off and covered when on public roads. Tesla is just half-assing the installation.

I don’t consider RV manufacturers to be OEMs. As for the Colorado lights, I’m wondering if there’s some brightness limit they’re staying under to keep them road legal?

As much as I hate the Cybertruck, this is completely normal for a lightbar. It’s why no OEMs sell them or install them.

But that’s the point: Tesla is an OEM, and they’re selling and partially installing equipment they know isn’t road legal.  As you pointed out, nobody else does shit like that.

the whole MO of the first Trump admin was to place the worst people imaginable at the head of any given Federal agency, so this shouldn’t be a surprise.

Yeah that’s why I can’t understand how it’s a viable business. There’s no way there are enough customers to make it a profitable endeavor.

If it involves zero risk, zero cost and zero effort to trump, musk will totally get in the cabinet.

LOL.....hahahahha. If you think “serious conflicts of interest” are going to matter to those in the Trump Admin, boy do I have some bridges over the Pacific to sell ya. The 1st go-around was CoI, one after another. In this one it will likely be a mandatory thing. As will breaking rules/laws, followed by Trump pardons…

He was convicted in Federal Court. Florida laws aren’t taken into account.

The things that makes me most mad at Boeing is how low they are setting the bar to make SpaceX look good.

The cause of the explosion is unclear because no Boeing employee, current or former, wants to comment for fear of being unalived.
