I’m also curious about the truck’s footprint in relation to how narrow a lot of European roads can be at time. Seems like it would be a menace on the road if there isn’t a lot of space

Can’t be easy to crush those things. Seems like it’d be quite the big boom if you don’t take the batteries out first. That’s a lot more annoying than just draining the gas tank.

It might look like a child’s toy on steroids, but this ‘car’ was found on the road in Greater Manchester.
Burn.
All in, the Cybertruck is a colossus, and one that fails to meet the UK’s strict rules on road safety.
I had no idea.

Don’t deliver trucks navigate those?
Probably without as much assholery as a cybertruck driver.

The funny thing here is that I think most people who know anything about Musk realize that he’s not functionally a father of 11 children or the CEO of multiple companies. He’s only technically, in the most minimal biological sense a parent, and he’s clearly not running those companies (even absent the stories about how they have teams to manage him and prevent him from being involved). Twitter allowed him to be very transparent about his life, and what he revealed is that he spends an inordinate amount of time fucking around on Twitter.
The fact that he’s clearly not been playing these games becomes, in a weird way, sort of damning in itself for his intended audience, (even without the weird fact that he obviously paid people to level up his characters as part of some pathetic ego thing). It raises the question of why isn’t he spending the required amount of time playing games? He’s clearly got nothing else to do. That he’s pretending he’s been spending all this time playing these games is weird because simultaneously we think he should be over-extended given his roles, but also because we damn well know he’s not meaningfully doing the work of any of them.

It notes one of the twelve is deceased. Also, Vivian Wilson publicly disowned him and he said that she had been “killed by the woke mind virus”, and so I don’t think deserves to be counted as having anything to do with him.

You are technically correct.

TIL: at that scale, they actively try to out the fire out, rather then just contain it and let it burn out. But that’s a specialist activity.

I have to assume that, were they not producing them themselves, Tesla would be a proud customer of Manly batteries.

Lol same place where he keeps his original inventions, his Christian morals, and the aborted embryos of his unwanted female offspring.
Well at least one thing in that list has some material evidence to support it.

It’s not so naive a question - the last time we had individuals with anything like this wealth, the Gilded Age, the robber barons did do those sorts of things, and they were pretty shitty human beings. They may have done those things performatively, with relatively small amounts of their total wealth, but they did them. Musk does nothing. Even his supposed foundations that he’s set up don’t do anything at all. That Musk can’t even live up to the standards of the robber barons is pretty damning.

This wasn’t a well-established marquee sold for decades that’s being put out to pasture. It was only sold for barely over 1 fucking year, yet it’s somehow era defining?

IKR?! Seems like only about 15 minutes have elapsed between lone skum’s dumbass demo at that stupid press conference and my almost screaming in amused horror (or was it horrified amusement?) at seeing my first one in the wild, parked in Downtown Detroit.

The Tesla equivalent of the Plymouth Prowler, except that actually could look okay.

I never once came close to screaming when I saw Prowlers, tho.
