Elon Musk

if he tried to wield power consistent with his paper wealth, other rich people and nations etc. would laugh at him.

also tesla stock isn't bitcoin, but it's not like he can sell it and get dollars equal to the number of shares * current price. obviously this is true of anyone paid in stock, but it's particularly true of tesla.

The amount power he yields is not inconsequential in that millions of people now have money tied to his fortunes. He can also use Tesla's cash flow to buy whatever he wants for a long time now.

i'm not saying he's not rich and powerful!

starting to think the rocket nonce may be dud

I guess I am just resistant to a rigid definition that says e.g. the "value" of a person's labor, if they don't have much power, is the pittance they can be forced to accept in exchange for it

I know there are 10000 theoretical books about this I haven't read so I can just excuse myself

having a lot of tesla stock is like having a lot of beanie babies, if you think about it

a cry for help?

lmao

tesla built their car stereos to increment a counter every time you start it, and when it you've done it enough times the entire dashboard breaks. excellent https://t.co/EZB5RUuhBz

shoulda jsut given her emale

This car sounds like garbage.

This is the new Tesla Model S and Model X interior. Mostly it's a big improvement, but...

I'm sorry, having only half a steering wheel is a dealbreaker.

It's like flying a plane, man!

lol that is... not functional

boring opinion but im still amazed that it can be legal to just have a streaming-equipped TV screen that faces the driver. like 20 years ago i once got a ticket for obstructed view for having a dancing hula lady toy on my dashboard, and now you can literally just watch TV while you drive

Every time I see a Model X in person I'm shocked again at how ugly it is.

no shit when I started driving the cool thing to have were those CD/DVD players with a 7" screen precisely because they were illegal

i doubt that steering wheel is even legal in most of the world

self-clowning car

lol I bet three dozen people told him that only for him to reply "yeah ok eeet will be fine"

that car looks like it might be cool once they add some more polygons

it's the N64 of cars

car does the driving, you don't need a steering wheel while you watch Tenet picture-in-picture with a baseball game

the streaming video functions of tesla theater turn off when the car is in motion iirc

there will be more demand for video in cars that require charging - drivers will be sitting there with nothing to do

they should add a glovebox or a back seat so ppl have somewhere to keep a book

a what?

lol sic, you'll never make it in today's market thinking that way

just...

Tesla unveiled the 2021 Model S and Model X vehicles on Wednesday night with images showing no stalks on the steering wheel or any other visible way to manually shift gears.

CEO Elon Musk tweeted today, when asked how this will work, that the car will guess which way the driver wants to go.

It’ll likely require training to learn your routine and parking spaces, and it's sure to make a few mistakes

i'd say lol but they obviously knew this would happen and wanted it too because everything is shitposting for engagement

"At this time, NHTSA cannot determine if the steering wheel meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. We will be reaching out to the automaker for more information." https://t.co/MZJoLkKR1w

hmm, that's kind of sensationalistic, you wouldn't be driving with the trunk open. absolutely impractical backseats that no one that isn't tiny could possible ever fit in is a pretty common thing in cars - i remember being almost too big to fit in the back of my uncle's porsche when i was 8

porsche has a famously pretend back seat but ive never seen a regular car with that little head room

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

literally loling at prius wagon their own marketing materials show zero leg room for the back row

https://i.imgur.com/6okNlN9.png

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
