Do we become startup investors, and share in the profit of selling the information gathered from the teardown? Or do I get a signed door handle?

quit getting off topic!
Jack, I want to buy a couple too but I can't find the damn link? Have I gotten blind in my old age or merely stupid? Can anyone help me? Please?

Good, they need all the help they can get!
It will be better for the transition to sustainable transport if they are are only 3-4 years behind rather than 5-6 years behind!

According to Elon . . . even the "real" data is coming from a simulation
Here's my takeaway from this. If you consider full size trucks a set pie of ~2.3m that is the same sales were in 2020, and that over time, will go fully electric. 24% is ~550k sales per year. 34% consider the specs the most important factor, where Tesla is consistently the top today in all their vehicles, that would be ~780k sales per year. Now the 2.3m is unlikely to stay static for a few reasons, first 2020 was a down year from 2019 where nearly 2.5m full size trucks were sold. Second, there will be conquests and an expanding market from Tesla fans, EV fans, full size SUV owners that don't have an EV option (yet), potentially expansion into other markets that are not usually into trucks to the same degree as Americans, plus this excludes Canada and Mexico sales. All that probably points to a TAM of ~3m vehicles per year. 24% there is ~720k and 34% is ~1m. The CT alone has the potential to equal Tesla's total 2021 sales by sometime in 2023/2024... at even higher margins.
Take it easy guys; I think those super cars were all broken. You know how those ICE cars require more maintenance.

So this guy is talking to God and ask, "Hey God what does 100 million years seem like to you?"
God answered, " One hundred million years ? That's like a second to me."
Then the man ask, "Hey God, what's 100 million dollars seem like to you?"
One hundred million dollars? It seems like a penny to me."
So the guy says, "Hey God could I borrow a penny?"
And God answers, "Sure. Just a second."
I conclude Elon is a demi god.
On a straight line the skill of the driver doesn't matter.
The yoke hate is real...and this motor trend guy making everything more confusing:
From YouTube description:
"McLaren P1 owner described the UP Tesla Plaid passing him as if he was standing still. Seeing is believing and so we've shared this video to witness the uncompromising performance of Tesla technology in a racing environment vs the world's best hypercars. In this video, you will see a Porsche 991 GT3 RS, a McLaren Senna and McLaren P1 get rapidly left behind in the Plaid's electron trail."
#wipster I had to Log on from my laptop. I couldn’t find the link on my cellphone browser. Hope this helps.
And that's with Randy already commenting that the current runs are purely to get a feel for the car and to tune it for Pikes Peak. They will come back to Laguna after that to see if they can set some records.The unofficial rumor is a lap time at Laguna Seca of 1:29.9... here are some cars to compare it to:
Laguna Seca (post 1988) lap times - FastestLaps.com
List of fastest lap times for Laguna Seca (post 1988). Updated March 2024.fastestlaps.com
It defeats all but the most trackiest of track cars. This is a four door sedan...
I would expect a lot of haters from the race enthusiasts who have spent alot of money to get inferior performance with “super”cars running on Dino juice.
I’m not surprised that the yoke isn’t ideal for a driver who has done many thousands of laps around lacuna using a specific style of controls.
Randy Pobst is not who the yoke was designed for. It’s designed for the average car enthusiast to make everyday driving more enjoyable.
I can’t wait to try one.

Ha, that makes perfect sense. He kept saying look below for the link and I couldn't see it... now I know why. Thanks Jack, much appreciated!
It has been a bit since I tracked a vehicle, but I think I'd have issues adjusting to a yoke. Plus there is no way that I'd track a 130k car either. I'm more of a Lemons budget type of guy.
