everyone in this thread should absolutely volunteer for any mars missions so that you can salt the crew and then when elon finally makes the crossing to live out his days on mars, put a decimal in the wrong place and land him at a thousand miles an hour

I'd rather land him thousand miles off the mark so we could savour a week long running ramble of his as he slowly succumbs to exhaustion and co2 poisoning

I don't know what happened, Elon. Seems like your quarters were fitted with some sort of ejection system for some reason. You're landing about 200km away from the designated landing site.

My prediction: it will look mostly like any other truck, but rounder and also somehow blobbier in a way that just looks kind of weird for vehicular design without you really being able to articulate exactly why

Can't wait for the annotated picture that explains why all the blobs are great and perfect and normal trucks have bad designs that ruin them because Elon didn't poo poo them out.

Best of all, "The goal is to be a better truck than an F-150 in terms of truck-like functionality and be a better sports car than a standard 911," with 400 to 500 miles of range and a starting price of $49,000.

If you throw anything heavier than 5lbs into the bed it fucks up the battery system and your truck won't work. You ever hear of a don't touch living room? This is a don't use truck bed
