Off topic galore

Looks as if it just hit the frunk cover which is thin aluminum. A steel hood would have crushed less.

Especially after it hit the engine...

Clearly a TSLAQ deer /s

Curious to know how any non Tesla would have fared. The Tesla Model 3 was famous for having BROKEN the NHTSA testing machine as it tried its standard car crush.

Edit: and did the autopilot see that deer falling, in other words, did the Tesla automatically started braking, BEFORE the driver did anything at all?

Sort of related -I recall seeing a YouTube video where a Tesla swerved to the right way before it became apparent that a car was driving in the wrong lane in his direction.

I see nose cone, so it would be an old version of AP.

It was an S being being testing when the roof crush machine failed.

It fell from above - so I don't think it would have. No camera pointing upward?

The driver did not have time to react.

These twitter hacks are really starting to piss me off.

I almost want to make a youtube channel where I just mock every low-IQ (or high-IQ and intentionally misleading) Tesla troll.

"Another"??? Elon is the chief engineer at SpaceX. Original Tweet is wrong, don't give him the point.

Please stop trying to pretend that a CEO selling is the same as anyone else. Especially if they are selling to buy a different company.

Please stop trying to compare a founder whose majority of wealth is invested in/ tied to the company with an average hired CEO who only has shares due to a compensation package that also includes a cash salary.

CEO suddenly selling a large number of shares is meaningful no matter how they are compensated.

Where we fail excessively is in very frequent flying. I don't know how to cure that lifelong obsession. AT least we no longer have our own plane and I no longer pilot one. We use KLM a lot and they allow carbon offset, FWIW, but we still pretty much destroy any environmental credibility with air travel! We eat no red meat so that might help??

Hummm.... if you only flew standby, would that theoretically reduce the incremental demand you are creating? Ensures it's a flight that would have happened anyway.

Let's just hope the presentation doesn't go in the opposite direction like the Cybertruck armored windows fiasco with Optimus ripping off both of Elon's arms as he tries to demonstrate a simple task of shaking hands.

I gather you did not watch the movie?

I have never seen such low volumes before, any thoughts?

All of the algo bot traders are "fighting" BBBY and the WSB crowd to keep a lid on it. TSLA volume was 15 million. BBBY was 150 million.

I dunno if it even works that way, but in head it makes sense.

It didn't help that their hero Cohen just crushed their chances to keep the squeeze going. Gah, apparently the latest news is that he completed the sales, and it's down 30% 48%.

How about paying back taxpayers for the bailout first...?

Time to put some parsley on that company!

A question for @Krugerrand @Artful Dodger and other ailurophile members here:
Why are only two cat oriented vehicle brands have BEV?
Only Peugeot

and Jaguar seem to have BEV offerings AFAIK.
The Peugeot ones (and those of the non-cat Stellantis brands like Fiat, Opel, Vauxhall,etc) seem to have decent success:
Stellantis Overtakes Tesla In Europe EV Sales, Targets Top Spothttps://insideevs.com › News

But Jaguar seems to have fizzled after an early start (I almost bought one).

So, on this quiet Friday pre-split day, why cannot cats succeed rather more in BEV adoption?

At least the cats have some iron in the fire, but where are the dogs ?!?

Let me try answer this Cat egorical question.
While the above said legacy cats go around town using the “transition to electronification/s” as a cat ch all cat chphrase, in reality , it’s been nothing less than Cat astrophic for them.

Other than GM?

The Chinese electric cats all seem to be doing well.
