Elon Musk

you wouldn't be driving with the trunk open

right but it doesn't matter if the trunk is open or not. there's a metal bar 12 inches in front of their face.

btw these still sell the prius wagon in australia, where it is a seven seater! https://www.toyota.com.au/prius-v

i want a prius v, but not the seven seater. they look fine for kids, apart from the lack of oxygen in the car.

my god

you see a lot of those as taxis in california, and without the third row they feel insanely spacious. i wish they still sold them in the US but we all want suvs now apparently.

yeah its hard to find a non suv these days, tho as they keep making more compact ones maybe they will reinvent station wagons and hatchbacks

ive driven a couple prius didnt really care for them tbh very tin can feeling

tho its been a while maybe the new ones are better

im sorry but you must drive a "crossover". or a truck

yeah they are. my in laws have a 2011 and a 2018 prius and fit and finish is waaaay better.

nice

our 3 year forester lease is ending this year. i leased on the basis that there would be good EV options for us around now, but it's still slim pickings and i am struggling to win the prius v argument, so we'll probably end up leasing again :(

i think my wife is worried about how many people will want to do it with me if i'm driving a prius wagon tbh.

it is a very magnetic car

bitcoin and tesla both down

lmao

58 days and still no answer. I have had enough, i STILL believe Tesla makes great cars but their customer service is truly horrendous. Fifty-eight days since my car caught fire sitting in the drive, and Tesla doesn’t seem to care at all. ANSWER ME!! @Tesla @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/xZDr8mHQT7

lol owned

Jesus these Elon fanboys are absolutely brainwashed.

"Here's a photo of the burned husk of my car that randomly caught fire two months but I still believe Tesla makes great cars, it's just the bad customer service that needs work."

don't worry lads, this reply guy has solved the case

Looks like sabotage. Teslas don’t spontaneously catch.

this reminds me of those losers who spend hundreds of dollars on vinyl with ratings like "Very Good Plus" and pretend the surface noise and inner groove distortion actually makes it sound better, heh heh heh you dorks

so the Tesla was a "hot stamper"?

damnit i wanted to see footage of car go boom

we like those

Profoundly depressing that the guy has to lead with “I still think Tesla is the best I promise.”

we're Tesla and Bunny

$tslaq
I have a theory and before I just started throwing out accusations of total fraud I did a complete exhaustive examination of the ZEV (and then non ZEV) credit transfers. Teslas rev/ profit center.

I still think about this tweet every time someone mentions Elon Musk (which is like every day). It feels like it was from way longer ago that 2018.

Elon Musk

link is just looping me back to the bottom of the thread

maybe for the best, that tweet is both funny and too cursed to bear

link works on desktop, not on zing

aha, i'm on flagging

Tesla has officially listed founder Elon Musk as its 'Technoking' in a regulatory filing, while the firm's financial chief is named 'Master of Coin' https://t.co/ZyfOWyHTef pic.twitter.com/sQT3j2SsOM

i don't follow any of this shit closely, but here are the scenarios they used for that. it seems like they're like 50% sure the robotaxis will be a thing by then

(and because that's kind of a confusing graphic probably, by "50%" i didn't mean anything specific, i just meant that in about half of simulations, they ended up assuming robotaxis were a thing)

I know this is off topic but it fucking drives me up the wall to see hundreds of idiots on Twitter defend this guy by saying "yeah he's a billionaire but he's literally trying to save the world and advance civilization by bringing about a techno utopia" when he SWATs his own workers for even suggesting they unionize

Within 2 years he will convert his $TSLA holdings into BTC and bounce.

I recall reading an analysis of how the conversion of taxis and trucks to self-driving vehicles could put millions of people with relatively strong jobs that require few hurdles for entry out of work. Something like 3.5 million people drive trucks alone.

yeah, but those same truck drivers will help spur innovation and growth in the video poker sector

They just need to pivot to video, simple.

Well, someone's got to plug those video poker machines in. That's millions of jobs gained right there alone!

It works perfectly well, for the first few hundred feet before it hits another car or runs someone over. But that's theirs problem for not being automated, losers.

something like the tusimple approach should be possible, since you can invest more money into the sensors for semis. you probably also have a better view of things with the sensor placement. and it looks like they have set shipping routes that will be well-trained. there will still be a driver in the cockpit.

This is because Americans don’t trust one another and are more comfortable with an idea of one “great man” changing things than they are with collective action. There is no solidarity here, people just want to make sure their neighbor doesn’t have more than they do. This is a bitter, self loathing country that worships its worst citizens.

No question that Tesla and Musk have engaged in many illegal shenanigans to pre-emptively bust a union, but what is "technically" the offense in this tweet? The giving up stock options thing?
