hot take: The only reason Tesla was so over valued as a stock is crypto-bro orgy of valuation
― | (Latham Green), Wednesday, 4 January 2023 21:30 (one year ago) link
twice as much as the electric f150 and as much as a gas f250, almost certainly a lie, the infinite mass part also not true
The tesla website claims that the new truck can pull "near-infinite mass" hhjjkhjslsl this company is so unserious pic.twitter.com/bMLMgHSUdj— Human Mel (@melhuman) January 4, 2023

the overvaluation of Tesla would have made some sense in like 2016 when all those charging stations were getting installed and there was talk of a $30k Model 3, not to mention Full Self Driving on the horizon. I can tell you insurance companies took that pretty seriously because in theory the Auto line could be unprofitable mighty quick. I guess it wasn't quite apparent back then how full of shit Elon Musk was. why it blew up after the pandemic when the cracks were starting to show kinda baffles me.

Brave New World not far off the mark, but not in the way I am sure Elon thinks it is.

"near infinite mass" surely video games bear some responsibility for this

mb by using mass instead of weight they were making a lil joke about pulling things in outer space, still not true of course once things get massive enough youd be subject to their gravity, also wheels wouldnt work out there since there no ground, there are also some other problems with this "joke" im going to suit elon
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 22:33 (one year ago) link
or maybe the joke is you can pull anything but that doesnt mean it will move

i think it's one of those things where like, yeah it could tow the space shuttle at walking speed for a few minutes. but any truck can do that
― 龜, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 22:34 (one year ago) link
really, we should be bemoaning the fact that the cybertruck can't outpull this very strong human

yeah im sure when normal companies talk about towing capacity they mean it in a normal way, who knows wtf tesla is talking about
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 22:42 (one year ago) link
apparently towing with an ev drains the battery like crazy too

his whole thing reminds me of how Michael Jackson "lost" his childhood, and so he spent his 40s trying to recreate it. in Elon's case I guess he never had the chance to be a cringey teenage shitposter so he's trying to live it now.
