if i had a car company i'd prob make it so the cars didn't just catch fire but idk i prob won't ever have a car company
― Clay, Friday, 2 July 2021 00:45 (two years ago) link
is it good for the environment when cars explode and burn for several hours? i heard that guy elon musk cares about the environment so i'm thinking this might be the reason for his cars catching fire.

'Something that Elon Musk thought it would be funny to call a car line' seems to be the operative one here.

good news, Florida
The city of Fort Lauderdale has accepted an unsolicited bid from Elon Musk’s Boring Company to build an underground transportation system under Las Olas Boulevard from its downtown Brightline Station to Las Olas Oceanside Park. https://t.co/JYcEoT5jGS— Miami Herald (@MiamiHerald) July 7, 2021

Cryptocurrency is like taking the worst parts of today's capitalist system (eg. corruption, fraud, inequality) and using software to technically limit the use of interventions (eg. audits, regulation, taxation) which serve as protections or safety nets for the average person.— Jackson Palmer (@ummjackson) July 14, 2021

Reminder: Elon Musk's conflict with Tesla's founders started over publicity. Not engineering, strategy, or product design, but the credit Elon got (or didn't) in a New York Times story. Just a few weeks after sending these emails he began a PR offensive that has never ended. pic.twitter.com/XKrWn1hMKR— E.W. Niedermeyer (@Tweetermeyer) July 14, 2021

for sure, some of the best engineers on the planet are probably working for Tesla and SpaceX, Elon himself on the other hand seems to have no good car ideas at all. maybe I'm wrong!!
here's a fun story, my little brother owns a Tesla and something got messed up with the security system, idk if he hit the wrong button or something but the car just started freaking out, like honking and flashing lights and all that. apparently when it thinks its getting "broken into" the stereo system also starts playing Trans-Siberian Orchestra at max volume, which you can't turn off. the problem was my brother's wife and his 1-year old son were trapped in the car, and now there's this deafening music playing while my brother literally has to Google how to turn the shit off, and you just know fucking Elon Musk brought that up at some meeting, "ha ha, here is funny idea, also very smart because it disorient the thief, ha ha" and everyone around him is afraid to tell him no so they just start working 90 hour weeks instead of 80 to make it happen, and now my nephew might have hearing damage

it's a CAR, elon
its probably been mentioned before but one of the absolute dumbest things about the Tesla is that it has its own Mario Kart spin-off game in the center console controlled by the steering wheel...okay, cool novelty, something to do while at a charging station, the idiotic part is when you play it ACTUALLY TURNS THE WHEELS which I am 100% sure was one of Elon's dumbass ideas, like he must've loved the idea of people seeing the tires turn so they could say "Look! He's playing video games!" never once thinking about how 15 minutes of that will create a bald spot on your $600 tire
