Well, we all know they staged that fake 1/4 mile CT vs stock 911 run…. And the “charlatan” used that as a main point in his bizarre delivery event speech. How many times did he call the CT a “car” and the vault a “trunk”?!

Come on. His comments, views, interviews and whatnot have become most bizarre in the past couple of years. How about that “GFY” rant/interview? You object to my use of nicknames, but condone his behavior? Please…
The guy has become “unhinged,” for some reason. Ketamine and pot use are facts, as I believe Elon himself has said he uses Ketamine for some reason that I don’t recall. We also have those “images” of pot smoking that even troubled the Tesla board, back in the day. Also, when I mentioned those two substances (as possible reasons), I also said I didn’t know, specifically. Added the
for good measure, but you missed or ignored all of that. We can agree to disagree - fine. I don’t need your parental tone and judgement, however.

Money is the most important thing to the vast majority of people. It provides them shelter, food, status and stuff. You don’t fit into that category given what I know of how you live your life, but it exists nonetheless.
You are correct that this vehicle may be viewed as a boy toy. If that’s the case, what do you actually care? It simply means Tesla will sell a lot, make a bunch of money, and turn that money into yet another revenue stream down the road. That’s a win.
I assure you, whether you view me as a fool or not, I will utilize my CT everyday in a variety of ways AND I will enjoy every second while not polluting my mountain air.

Tesla does what Tesla thinks is best for the company regardless of what you or anyone else thinks. If customers make suggestions that Tesla thinks are good, needed, viable, appropriate etc… then Tesla listens. I’m quite positive, though, that CT came from the minds of Elon, Franz and the like. Not from random sources writing to them.

Well, that too. But I figured outing him on two metrics he lied about pretty much negated anything else he said.

I haven’t condoned anyone’s behavior. You’re being purposely obtuse now and so I bow out. If you carry on with name calling and such, which is against forum rules, I will report those posts. It is posts of your nature that have gotten several threads locked on this forum and topics banned.Come on.

I do not condone the calling of other TMC members “names,” which should be deleted or banned by admin. Calling Elon a “liar” or exhibiting “Charlatan-like” behavior does not violate forum rules (but I will need to revisit the rules and guidlines to make sure that’s a correct interpretation).

I don't remember the tune mentioned earlier but "yeah" that would do it with a twin turbo cranked up
edit:
This 3.5 tt Livernois tune reminds me of what Nelson Racing has done with some LS motors like the 1650HP first gen RX7
We had a Cummins tuned by DR. Performance many years ago and it went from 175HP to over 300 Torque broke 850lb ft. and this was back in the mid 1990's.
Well done sir.

I've never seen a clearer example of a coattail rider than Franz.
If you applied the same thing to Elon you'd not have posted in this thread. maybe you'd have "Thumbed up" all my posts?Well, that too. But I figured outing him on two metrics he lied about pretty much negated anything else he said.

Well, we all know what happens if you don’t agree with everything Elon says or thinks (if an employee of Elon’s). I don’t recall where I read it, but the engineering team at Tesla was not in favor of the current CT design, but Elon insisted on realizing his Bladerunner dream.

There were several videos made of the CTs construction (and I’m not including the shill/consultant and receiver of two CTs from Elon - Sandy Munro). I believe one was a from T-Sportline and the other from some other company. The videos were not flattering, re construction and robustness needed for overlanding or off roading. It’s more like a different looking vehicle that is better suited for paved roads.
If you read between the lines of his telling about the Cyberturd look he said something like. "They were against it, and I said if it fails we'll just make a normal truck."
I read that as some of the engineers had "reservations" that were so strong they actually told Elon to his face they were "concerned." And I don't think Elon likes anyone even showing some concerns. And those engineers probably felt like a Minister of State talking to Putin about the state of Russia."
Elon does not want to be told he's off his rocker.
