I mean, it took over 4 years from announcement to release of a *nearly water resistant* “truck” constructed of poorly stapled together sheet metal. The roadster at least looks to have been a comprehensively, maybe even competently designed automobile. About a decade seems reasonable..

“And Elon is one of the best humans I know.”

Since when are the Civic and Corolla subcompacts?

*Half of the half of the country that actually votes

It’s concealed?

Pretty much everything that has come out of his mouth in the last 40 years should be indicative of this, but here we are..

Unfortunately, those that would be offended by calling him orange are for all intents and purposes beyond being won over. Even the most left leaning of liberals, and previously the most ardent of conservatives, are able to laugh at the gaffs and foibles of their representatives. The inability of diehard Trump…

Yeah, it’s definitely more the “styling” than the overall shape. Front and rear fascias, particularly the lighting, and that beltline.. woof

I think “car dealership sales floor” and “toxic work environment” are pretty much synonyms

I was once (many many years ago) naive enough to believe that being a car salesman would involve using your knowledge of cars and general financial literacy to help people make informed and appropriate car buying decisions. Suffice to say that I stayed at that job juuust about long enough to finish the onboarding and…

Almost certainly. You don’t have to be playing 3D chess to be a petty asshole who would rather kneecap your competition than improve your own products/services.

THIS!! This is the insane part! To her, and all the people saying “I’m not gonna be a hero either, but I’m not gonna say that!”, literally all they’re asking is if you are willing and able to open the fucking door and get off the plane. Nobody’s asking you to save anyone. Unless you’re planning on opening the door,…

That’s really the thing. It was just entirely unnecessary to lie. The actual result was still impressive, but they went into the test with a goal instead of a hypothesis, so rather than test a hypothesis and report the findings, they made up narrative to meet their goal.

“Note: Do not strike hard surfaces with CyberHammer. Intended for display or gym use.”

I doubt it was even required. When somebody realizes they’ve made an $80k mistake it’s not uncommon for them to go “above and beyond” in their own mental gymnastics to convince themselves they’re thrilled with the experience. Tesla stans seem to exist in this baseline state of self-delusion most of the time anyway.

Didn’t this guy used to do legitimate teardowns and reviews, and have plenty of not so nice things to say about Tesla’s quality control and engineering? Seems like somebody got a generous donation of a few thousand shares of TSLA and had a change of heart..

How shitty must it feel as a designer that you were forced to cut so many corners (pun not intended) and meet so many asinine aesthetic requirements that your product has to come with a warning for how to properly open and close its doors?

“Musk said in that same investor call that he doesn’t see a limit to the bipedal robot market — that buyers will spend unending amounts of money to obtain Optimus bots that’ll do any conceivable task.”

I think what he’s trying to say is that the headline is misleading. Which I would have to agree with. I abhor Elon Musk as much as the next rational person, but I also believe in giving credit where it is due. Tesla will still be using gigacasting, a technological advancement that the company should be credited with,…

Hahahahahahaha
