Modern Vespa

Or just get a Taxi.

Remember when your Tesla was going to be a self driving taxi making you tons of money while you were sitting at home drinking kool aid?

And the streets of London are paved with Gold.

I saw a Cybertruck in black the other day. Still ugly. And saw one today in a parking lot. Looked dirty. Didn't help.

Really, criticising Elon Musk is against forum rules?

Just don't touch on the flavour of anyone's politics - sensitive subject this side of the pond right now. Otherwise criticise him as much as you want.

Careful there. He might make an offer for MV even Jess can't refuse.

I reckon $10 million should do it.

In my opinion, Elon Musk is a fraud and an idiot, and his propensity for shitposting really takes the shine off of everything he's supposedly achieved. I have no intention of ever purchasing a product made by one of his companies for the duration of my lifetime.

^ The above statement does not violate the posting guidelines in any way (unless Elon was a member here, which he is most certainly not).

Pocket change.

My needs are relatively modest. I could live happily for the rest of my life on $10 million.

Any more than that would probably tend to diminish my happiness rather than increase it.

Winning the one million dollar lottery pays off the mortgage, kids education, and gives you a comfortable retirement.

Winning the 20 million dollar power ball breaks up your marriage, gives you a drug habit, your family and friends resent you, you die young and destitute.

Exactly. The only question is really: what is the happy mid-point?

(I'm also taking into account how much taxes will lop off the top of the $10 mil).

252.4 billion is definitely well into misery territory.

Well, yeah.

I'm guessing 10 mil is what he budgets for a bathroom remodel.

Edit: employee bathroom.

She's not wrong...

Instead of buying a Cybertruck I'm keeping my Hyundai Santa Fe.

With the money I save I can go out to dinner...

...for the rest of my life.

The good news is that the "Budget" version of the Cybertruck is no longer available to order.

Finally.

My feelings about this thing are well-documented above, but at least this guy is apparently using one to do something, a first among the ones I've seen.

Which one is the truck?

Well, if the battery explodes, there's a real possibility we could have a rolling dumpster fire on our hands.

Others have not been so lucky using their cybertruck for normal truck things.

Lucid Air have received another 1.5 Billion Dollars on top of the other 1 Billion Dollars they consumed earlier this year.

They lose $100,000 on each sale.

Going well then.

Who would win in a fight?

Someone in a Model Y tried to race me earlier.

That was very amusing.

On the cub?

Aren't you more of a distance guy?

I'd love to see that turd take a broadside hit from the recoiless rifle. The guy with the scoot wouldn't have any worries about that MG. The field of fire is terrible how it's mounted, unless they were taking howitzer shots with it. 🤣😂 Not even Steve McQueen could maneuver that vehicle to make it effective. Boom, no more cybertruck!

It was a little weird. He launched it off the line at a set of lights for no reason so I followed him for a while until he came to a circle/roundabout where he cut the apex so I as I moved out to overtake he tried to out accelerate me.

The RT and I pulled along side at around 90 ( indicated ) mph at which point he gave up.

What did these idiots drive before Tesla's ?

A BMW car with all sorts of "enhancements" with the smallest engine offered in the range.

I've seen a lot of guys in their late 30's in shirts with skinny arms driving Tesla's who seem to think that they are now invincible because they are quick off the line.

The "power" seems to go to their heads so to speak because they've never tasted it before.

It's kind of funny.

altimas usually. at least around here.

telling.

Roughly 50 Rivians damaged by fire at the Illinois factory.

Volvo abandons 2030 EV only target.

If i read correctly:

changed it from 100% EV to 90% EV + Plugin-Hybrid by 2030.

Also while reading i saw that Volvo Cars is 79% owned by Geely Holdings (Chinese). NOTE: this is the cars division not Volvo trucks etc.

Nothing wrong with having aspirational non aspirational targets.
