ford making mustang station wagon. Tesla says hold my beer.

I think his Star Wars sets are at his dad’s. But, I may have a few. I know there are some Atlantis sets. And … some City. None as big as the Millennium Falcon, but definitely cost upwards of $100 plus each retail. There’s also a couple sets that are sill in the packaging (not the boxes) that have never been put together.

I’ll have more info tomorrow.

And the Chinese have come out with their knock-off version.

I find it amusing that a company that so obviously cribbed from Tesla's Cybertruck design is named after Edison. That's just

It might be for sale soon.

I may have a problem.



And I've added this one since the above picture.

my phone is embarrassingly grainy to take shots of my fleet of slightly customized first gen and the to scale Falcon. I'll get the girl fiend to take a couple tomorrow.

Uh, oh! Uh, oh! Shots fired! Shots fired! They're coming out with a van based on that design!


Is Musk going to take this lying down, I wonder?

Whatever car Musk puts out next, let's hope he isn't too busy being such a fucking genius that he doesn't forget to include a low-tech backup option like, I dunno, a key?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-59357306

I have keyless entry and engine start on my Mazda, but they remembered to include a physical key just in case the batteries die because tech CAN fail.

So Tesla does not have a backup in case their tech fails. Well, that is a huge problem for me. That is a deal breaker.

You don’t even want to see my office. All pandemic purchases too….

One of the problems that people have discovered as cars get loaded up with all kinds of fancy tech is that they haven’t really thought through all the implications of the gear. So, you sell your car to someone else (or trade it in at a dealer) and not only is there no good way to wipe your data from the vehicle but if it has things like a phone app, the new owner has no way to lock you out of accessing the car.

Although with an older, low-tech car, the new owner has no way of knowing you didn't make and keep a copy of the key...

True, but until relatively recently, such a duplicate key wouldn’t enable you to stalk the new owners or give you free access to all kinds of their personal info.

There is no return to factory settings switch? Not surprising. I have noticed that SS storage does not fully clear unless it is rewritten on flash drives. Something tells me the government and corporations want it that way so they can recover deleted data for mining and evidence. microchip memory is probably a lot harder to physically destroy than the old hard disk was. Considering the size of storage chips now it would not be hard to slip some form of redundant copy that cannot be erased by the user that records most changes made.

Anyway, just put that next to the always on mic, and the always on sensors on most electronics now.

You'd think that this would be a cereal toy, but no.

Nearly a century ago, Chrysler unveiled its Airflow car and at the two-minute mark, you can watch them have a baseball player throw a ball at the windows to demonstrate the laminated safety glass in the cars. Sort of like what Musk tried to do when he showed off the Cybertruck.



Other fun things in the video: They roll the car over several times, have someone shoot out a tire, and they drive one of them off a cliff. The car was a spectacular bomb and was considered one of the worst ever built by Detroit until the Edsel came along. Chrysler has decided to revive the model name for their first electric car.

Now this is an electric truck design.



Too bad it'll never get made.

Someone likes Warthogs, but slightly more gay.

Another bed you can't fit anything in.

I'm generally anti-pickup unless it's being used for work, but could they at least try to keep them functional?

Yes, they're real.

The Latest Tesla Cybertruck Prototype Looks Even Worse Up Close

I think it looks awesome

That's a cute wiper, what's it going to be when it grows up?

Texas Won't Give You Its $2,500 EV Rebate for Buying a Tesla

The Cybertruck will also be a boat, says Elon Musk

As one former Tesla employee put it, "I can say with 100% certainty that this is the first time the engineers are hearing about it."

You mean the truck with the bulletproof windows that broke from wuss ass elon throwing a ball at them is going to float? I want tickets to when elon is going to demonstrate that. let us make sure the bulletproof windows actually work, and the engineers have made all the door locks electrical without any manually opening exits. Oh, and let us make sure they all are out there for the people who drive Teslas. Every one of those assholes needs to slowly drown in their status symbols from little Trump.

He's also unveiled a humanoid robot he calls Optimus, so the engineers should be braced for having to make the truck change into the bot.

Or a gorilla.

Tesla Now Plans to Start Cybertruck Production by the End of 2023: Report

If you ordered one, you might get it by 2024. Might.

Someone has to finance twitter now that he owns it, so put that shit on the influencer douchebags that would buy a Tesla. Then Elon can charge them a special fee for a checkmark that verifies they are premium twitter tesla owners.

I would like to hate on Elon in this case, but his victims are the right people for a change. Put some kanye and trump shit on there and suck the right dry. It is a fucking sign to avoid these people at all costs and nothing of value will be lost to you.
