Dislike the design, look and edge of it. Feels cold. Each to their own.
Odd world we live in when we don't see that as being cool. But, we're seemingly headed there. At some point, it's going to be hard to imagine something that could surprise me.
It is weird. I am not fan of Musk, but one has to have some crazy blinders on not to give him credit here.
<< At some point, it's going to be hard to imagine something that could surprise me.
It is hard to believe your eyes -- I assumed it was magnetic or something initially.
For what? For an unpractical vehicle that now has the ability to launch and crush another car? If said to be true. As if driving wasn't already dangerous and stupid enough.
If he would show maturity for a change rather than his childhood antics then I would give him credit.
Man only manages to coordinate an engineering feat and your response is "why can he not offer something responsible like a lightly breaded toast"?
Beyond the obvious part where I say that his antics are part of the product demonstration ( roadster is space moment being another notable moment ), is your objection truly that he didn't come to the podium with a clipboard and say:
" Begin communication - it jumps - it go up upside down - it can go 0-60 in 1 sec End of communication."
Fuck man. Where has your wonder gone?
You can't wonder when the man offering the wonder is a man of fraud. It's 2026 and we are now spiralling in to a pit of despair with no return.
Elon shows no care to the world or you. It sounds like you have fallen hold to his playbook of a new shiny toy you'll probably never own outright.
We have wars going on killing innocent people and then have a man who disables Starlink.
A man who raided your country, America. Sabotaging jobs of hard workers, important folk and ruining their lives. Does that not matter now for which we should forget the governmental damage caused due to his "DOGE" antics?
There is no wonder in fracking, cruelty to animals or destruction of planetary resources.
You know he fracks right and know that his brain-chip has tortured innocent animals?
That is all fine if folk want to live in fantasy land, I do not. I want to live in a functioning real land.
You want wonder? I've been wondering when humanity will actually work together and improve society but that's just wishing upon a dying star.
His toys and vision do not align with mine and his fraud outweighs any ingenuity that may come from.
You want to know something else? He's not even American, he's South African.
If you're a democratic voter and you buy this car, you're no worse than the republican president. You might as well vote for republican seeing as you are supporting a fraudulent South African republican reality.
I am English who lives in the United Kingdom. If you wanted an outside in perspective you got one.
Not sure what you can't grasp.
Tesla does have ~700k other employees.
What's cool about that?
I think that's extremely reckless, dangerous, etc.
The only half-usable feature here is super fast acceleration.
While you were busy getting baited by flashy non-features, you probably missed that this is coming out minimum 8 years late, with half the promised range, seat space, and the acceleration numbers all depending on unspecified consumable gas which you'll have fill up on somehow. If it ever comes out at all, what with Tesla's track record.
BTW, the reason you haven't seen this before is nobody in their right mind would have spent so much money on something this pointless, not because this is some cutting edge tech.
Im happy to discuss and debate views
It's an engineering demo. It obviously showcases impressive tech from several fields like automotive design, material science, etc.
Whether this turns into vaporware is something that will shake out in the future. Calling this a scam is jumping the gun.
> SOLVES ACTUAL PROBLEMS
Can you elaborate how the Mother of All demos suggested guis and networks and a mouse would solve actual problems?
Panem et circenses
To me it looks like a mashup of a Ferrari and a Cybertruck. That's not a good thing.
