Fucking Nazis.
Lots of coders on lemmy. Anyone want to make one of those tracker websites for how much money Elon musk has lost based on his stocks decreasing in value? I have a feeling it will be relevant soon.
stock market values aren't real so why bother?
Tip: ARKK ETF is loaded with all the slop players and its biggest holding is TSLA (10% of the fund). Long puts (120 day expirations)
3% ain't shit
No but that’s on top of the year over year losses.
They’re down 19.03% YTD and down 26.62% from the peak in December last year.
I have a great idea! Self Flying rocket Tesla trucks for everyone!
Your neighbor did what while riding a flying rocket Tesla truck????
Ahhhh! Taxis! Yeah! The Tesla trucks will be flying to your house at 5 thousand miles per hour to take you to Costco and take the kids to the movies....
Oh wait what!? The Tesla chopped off how many hea.. Before crashing right into a nun travel van full of nuns and small puppies!!??
Ah okay military vehicles and for police force! That's it!
I know you don’t have that set to one day.
Y'know, if he had any kind of faith in his product, ol' Droopy Tits would get in it himself, fly it around a little. I mean, he tells everyone he's some sort of a genius engineer. Doubtless he can figure out how to fly it within a few seconds. Surely no problems would come from that.
as with everything elon, he bought the company, not founded it, despite being a "founder". He is basically edison. a business man, not an engineer.
~~Business~~ con man.
this is very true, yes. He's in the business of conning people.
I genuinely don't even know who that demonstration was for other than 12-year-olds. None of these cars have any practical or road applications. Where are you going to need to flip your cap off of a ramp or over some cars? It's so fucking stupid.
Supercars are some of the most impractal things on the planet, yet people buy them all the time.
A supercar that can briefly fly? If that actually makes it to production, people will absolutely buy one.
Very stupid investors?
EV sales are flat or shrinking in the US (but growing extremely quickly outside the US, partially thanks to the Hormuz situation). Tesla's sales are flat. He's doing anything possible to show that Tesla has a future.
So, he basically told his talented engineers to take the stabilizing parts of a SpaceX rocket, put them in the body of a car, and pretended that what was demoed is actually vaguely related to something people might be able to buy at some point.
There isn't a chance that a vehicle with those kinds of thrusters would ever be road legal. You're basically driving a pretty large bomb around. You crash that vehicle and you don't just kill yourself, you kill everybody within a pretty large blast radius.

Tesla sold a car for years with no way to open the back seat doors in the event of an emergency.
US regulators allow Tesla to do anything.
There is a way. Not practical, but if you pry off the speaker cover, there is a release cable.
I blame regulators.
The Model X had it under a speaker cover. The model 3 didn't have it listed in the user manual. Fans discovered under a rubber door pocket cover, you could remove a flushed mounted plastic tab and fish out a pull wire to open the door.
It wasn't until 2024 that Model 3's got a door release.
Strange. Maybe it's a Europe thing, but my 2020(?) M3 has a little mechanical lever you can pull to open.
In the front seats, right? Everyone (even I agree rightfully so) got mad about the rear passengers not having one.

It’s a shame because my wife and I are saving up for an EV but I’m worried by the time we’re ready the models won’t be there. They’re already cutting the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Our top contender.
Companies are scrambling to start making more hybrids and EVs now with gas prices so high and EVs in such high demand.
Buy used. They will still be serviced at repair shops and you can get a 2year old EV for half the price of new.

I think the vacuum downforce could definitely be useful for track/stunt driving
As long as it's dry. And there's no pebbles or loose debris or sand on the track....
It's neat but it's also already been done. The McMurtry Speirling had the tech five years ago.
Okay, I know I could look this up indvidually, but for those of us who missed it, what happened today?
They demoed a car that was loaded with a shit load of compressed gas, then they had it do a kick flip over a line of cars and a semi truck. They also drove it up a massive inverted ramp and then had it flip over and land smoothly.
Looked cool as hell, but has absolutely no practical purpose other than allowing Nazi Musk to get headlines saying they have a flying car.
it's not a flying car. it's a car that can fall with style.

They did a demo of the new roadster model; they've strapped a suction fan and HPA thrusters to it so it can do 0 to 60mph in under a second, drive up walls, perform a running jump over a semi-truck without a ramp, spin and do a standing flip.
The frothing, uncritical comments from Musk stans on that video are insane. I hope they're mostly bots and don't represent real humans - nobody is acknowledging how impractical, unsafe, or illegal any of these moves are, nor how it's a just a stunt that will never reach real-world production or on-road use.
God damn it, I want that to be as cool as it should be! This timeline is bullshit and I'm calling shenanigans! THATS A FLYING FLIPPING FUCKING CAR AND ITS NOT COOL BECAUSE ELON!!!

Apparently their Q3 earnings report comes out next week, so I guess they tried wheeling out the vaporware car to make number go up before whatever's in that earnings report hits?

Fully self driving stock
Fully self diving
Damn, that's a lot better
That's quite the y-axis zoom.
It takes real Axis Power to do that.
