Elon Musk

actually I guess that is bogus b/c if they're trying to "protect" the battery on the 60 kWH models then they aren't doing it on the 75 kWH ones

given the quality of their software I wonder how long until some kid figures out how to root the thing and just unlock the max performance/battery mode. for example with the Nintendo Wii someone figured out real quickly how to get all the Virtual Console games for free and I knew people who would charge $20 to do it for you

The supercharging limit is mentioned in the firmware revelations twitter thread linked above that maybe only I read.

goddamn my guy the only conclusion i was trying to reach was a good goof based on a good goof upthread

plus if it were a video game the superchargers would be built into the game's code obviously and access would only be available via dlc unlock but that's beside the point

the point is, tesla is for cardorks with money and i have neither means nor a drivers license so i will take every opportunity to clown this company named after a famous misogynist mustache boy genius

this thread already has some great stuff in it. the 'good goofs' just make the thread feel too decadent overall. can a mod please lock the 'good goofs' behind a paywall? noticed some 'good goofs' over on the US politics thread as well, if you're not too busy.

eh, I am being a dick. and I get why the politics threads are the way they are. I just wonder if we can't clown elon more coherently. maybe focus on the way he hurts the environment instead of stoking misguided consumer outrage that only harms rich tesla owners, anyway. too much ilx today. bye \Morbs

Do not tell me to focus. I will never focus. ilxor dot com. i live for this

Semper Post, Will M!

jfc

so, long story short, a Tesla gets into a minor fender bender, owner finds out that it's not just structural damage but part of the chassis made by aluminum. Tesla does not sell a replacement part, meaning the car is effectively totaled. just lol @ this dumb company

NEW: A British diver who was part of the Thailand cave rescue is officially suing Elon Musk for calling him a pedophile https://t.co/tMEcoCPdWO

Indeed, kinda weird to see that every time I open this thread.

"i fucking hope he sues me"

"notice he hasnt sued me yet"

gets sued

can't help but think of this

lol yes

So he's sueing him for £57,000?!?!? WTF?

is there some kind of SpaceX press conference going on? part of my FB feed is drooling all over the guy again :(

a plane full of billionaires exploding will truly be one of the greatest stories ever told

SpaceX says Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will be first private passenger on a solo rocket trip around the moon. https://t.co/hI4IPMXGeI

pedo guy shouldda stupped up. £57,000?!?!?

~musk reads

is this one of those situations where you sue for costs and the judge adds punitive damages?

Hate to say The Simpsons did it first, but this whole thing makes me think of
"The letter in Krusty's pocket states that a rocket (codenamed Exodus) is being populated with humanity's "best and brightest", and will be launched in order to preserve human civilization on Mars."

(the rocket to the moon thing, obv)

omg trayce

xp except we all end up on the rocket with Pauly Shore, Rosie O'Donnell, Newt Gingrich etc.

god i would pay so much money to see newt gingrich die on the moon

he would pop nicely

DOJ seems like a bigger deal than SEC?

BREAKING: Bloomberg News has learned Tesla is under investigation by the DOJ over public statements made by the company and CEO Elon Musk last month on taking Tesla private, according to two people familiar with the matter.

def

has anyone seen Grimes in the last few weeks

On the moon already?

dead from shame iirc

Buried on the moon.

For real though I can't remember where I saw it but it was some insanely detailed conspiracy theory that Elon is holding Grimes hostage or has already killed her or something. This is based solely on her absence from social media, which tbh is a bit strange, since she's become a public figure she's never taken a break from communicating with fans for this long. but good fuck that doesn't mean she's dead

or does it

it only took about 3 weeks to make a functional Melania clone

in that he's wooden and unconvincing, yes

omg trayce
lol i’m glad someone got it.

Kind of funny really how the whole appeal of Tesla is "electric car!" but electric cars have been around since 1890

https://www.energy.gov/articles/history-electric-car

oh is that the whole appeal

well, also the sexiness

Nothing sexier than a wood-burning car:

nothing sexier than a cruck!

latham green i think you are elon musk

all signs point to it

the ute is on fire

He's only a simlation

Back when I got to Melbourne, and before I started working with Mr Musks products, someone tried to convince me to join a startup dedicated to reviving the tech behind this 1963 steam powered ford falcon.
