I think the exposed metal is just stainless steel, and the logo is white tempograph paint to me, no chrome, but not 100% sure.

Don't worry, I'm sure if you have nothing to hide from ICE you have nothing to fear.

The Pinto thing is total BS sensationalist stat mining. They include the guy that tried to blow himself up in the Cybertruck in Vegas as someone who was killed by the truck. Really?

The parts thing only happens when vehicles and replacement parts are under warranty. @newtboy If you can find the source showing the warranty is voided driving a Cybertruck in the grass then I'll find the same language in the warranty docs for Fords.

This stuff is funny and Tesla doesn't deserve any leeway since their CEO has apparently gone"fact free" lately, but pushing easy to discredit "facts" seems like it distracts from the real issues with these vehicles and the company as a whole.

The biggest problem with Tesla in my mind is their over-promising and shitty service. I'm not sure how companies get away with promising stuff that isn't available yet but it seems like it is getting more common.

To me it looks like their service problems are a mix of 3 factors.
1. Not enough replacement parts at the ready
2. Service centers are understaffed because of the principal of running at below expected need until shit breaks. Only then can you apply more resources.
3. Service centers were designed to work efficiently but are run by a bunch of idiots that came from other manufacturer service centers so they want to do it "their way" instead of following the efficient hands off model that was originally planned.

I member. It wasn’t her fault, but didn’t this essentially end her singing career? I couldn’t figure out why, it’s not like anyone was shocked she lip synced. Most pop stars do, especially if they dance too.
I can’t even tell if the band is trying to play along or not. They sure don’t seem to be playing what we are hearing.

Trimming 56 + genders down to 1.

A little overshoot for sure and a minor coarse correction needed.

Still better than Biden 56 + genders admin.

Not quite true, unfortunately, but really funny all the same.

I'm sure this will be his last badly-thought-through order and that he'll now have learned his lesson.

Damnit, no emoji truly reflects that level of sarcasm.

I've always wondered... why nobody that got in the pileup honks and create a loud cascading effect to alert the incoming ones and slow down to minimize the carnage?

Is that a thing? Does it help? Is it realistic (understand people are in shock and/or physically hurt, so it's not as easy as what coming out of my mouth)? I'm not sure.

My dad liked to play “kill the kid” where if he caught me walking in the road he would drive at me at 15-20mph, I would jump on the hood, he would hit the breaks so I rolled off, then he would drive off. He said it was to see what the neighbors would do, but he did it at our ranch with no neighbors to see more than once, so…..
Call it a prank, inappropriate joking, fun between a dad and his weird kid, or serious child abuse, it sure beat how my brother treated me…but yes, it left multiple scars I can still see 45 years later…they’re not the only ones. Growing up in Texas in the 70s was dangerous.
Nobody ever said anything. I know some of the neighbors and my mother saw him do it. That’s way scarier and more scaring than the car coming at me.
(Side note- Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to get me!)

I am sure you can find non-USA video online easily.

When he tried to excuse the Tesla’s declining performance (declining from a 3+ second per lap deficit) by saying the tires got warm and LOST GRIP I knew for sure he was just making excuses to be a Tesla fan boy. Warm tires have more grip, cold tires have less grip.

I'm sure they could get even more distance by increasing the length of the foil significantly. They'd probably need something stabilising behind him too, and add ailerons to both for manoeuvrability. Maybe then if he's in some kind of cockpit with a full set of instruments...

The cheating is all from maga, just like it was proven to be in every one of the last 6 elections.
Remember the 4 election fraud investigations the felon’s White House performed? Remember the results, booby? Sure you do…they all found no Democratic fraud and all found maga fraud (that’s why they went away without making a big deal about their findings), but not enough to sway any elections (or so they claimed) with a few exceptions like Mark Harris who was caught orchestrating a ballot harvesting fraud in N Carolina (your boy) in 2018 but he was caught and you had to hold a new special election at a cost of millions…

Hide and watch. I’ll bet my hair that it’s a maggot who did this again.

“The system is working”….not if 3 fake votes were counted, dipshits.

The real first step is to make sure they're not just taking a nap.
