Yeah I saw that spec option. Honestly the solar roof stuff seems really gimmicky to me. They mentioned that the battery holds 106 kWh. I don’t know what the solar roof produces, but an average panel on top of a house creates something like 2 kWh per day.

So having a solar roof on your car would likely take something like 50 days of sunshine to charge to full. I mean, it’s not nothing, but definitely not a practical solution for charging for 99%+ of the population.

Huh that’s dope! Never heard of them before. Just watched a video of them demoing one of their preproduction trucks. Looks super practical, which is a hell of a lot more than could be said about the Cybertruck!

Yeah I put down a deposit on a Cybertruck years ago. Not because I thought it was a cool car, but because it was an EV truck for $40k.

By the time they actually came out at 2.5x the price and Elon started throwing around sieg heils, it was a super easy decision to cancel the reservation.

The pedo comment wasn’t really a blip for me - and I assume most people. I remember seeing a headline at the time about him calling someone in Thailand a “pedo guy” because the guy called Musk out for turning some trapped kids into an attempt publicity stunt.

At the time, I probably thought “huh, that was a dumb thing to say” but then didn’t spend more than 20 seconds thinking about it. I vaguely remember seeing some lawsuits about it later, but couldn’t tell you one way or the other about how they went.

It really wasn’t until Musk started doing crazy shit that affected me that I started paying attention to him - and I assume it’s the same for most people. If some rich asshole slanders someone and gets sued for it, that’s pretty easy to tune out. But when he purchases a major social media company and gives a quarter billion dollars to sway an election, does a couple Nazi salutes, and then starts dismantling the federal government, that’s much more attention grabbing.

Lol that some serious Front Fell Off vibes.
