are we talking about the old roadster or the new one

because the old roadster that was just a lotus with an electric drivetrain was a really fun car, the acceleration felt nuts

turns out when the bulk of the car isn't made by the stupidest techbros on the planet, the car is mostly functional!

i see them all the time but i have no idea what model year any of them are because they all look practically the same

they technically don't have model years and other than a refresh of the model s, all changes are running so any time you need a repair done they have to find out exactly when your car was built to see what backordered parts they have to wait six months for

This is the story of when they had to evacuate a city block in Baltimore because of a smell I made.

We were starting construction on a new restaurant location they were expanding and I was the GM for the new location so we got to work clearing out the mess left by the last restaurant. They were a bakery and out back there was a dumpster. They closed two years before. Not sure why it was there considering this alley basically has no street access other than a tiny door for I assume fire code reasons. Honestly I don’t know how they got it in there we had to cut it up with a torch to get rid of it.

It was full of dough and water we figured we could use the dumpster for something so we got to work tipping it over to get the water out. It was not water it was liquified rat. Hundreds of liquified rats. The three of us all began projectile vomiting immediately, before my brain could process the smell. It was a smell so strong you could feel it deep inside your chest and no amount of vomiting made it go away.
There were so many goddamn rat bones. They snuck in to eat the rotting dough and got stuck and drowned in what I’m assuming was a combination of rain water and soup made of their friends.

Covered in vomit and rat juice we did our best to regain our composure we went to the front of the building and tried to smoke cigarettes but they just tasted like death. It had been about a minute since we tipped the dumpster over and we heard screaming from around the corner. You see we weren’t the only ones projectile vomiting in fact most of the people on the street were and those that weren’t were running and screaming. Everywhere you looked people were wrenching I watched a little old lady get down on her knees and just erupt into a planter.

Then the fire department and the police and ambulances showed up. They cleared out everyone they could so they could hose down the streets and eventually came to the scene of the crime. A firefighter vomited into to his respirator. This got everyone including us into a vomitous fervor again but at least we were in the alley behind the restaurant to hide our shame.

“I’ve been a cop in Baltimore city for 30 years and I found a dead body that had been sitting in a vacant house for a month last week and this smells worse”

After a day of professional cleanup the city didn’t blame us because it was the trash of the previous owner. My wife made me take the train home instead of my car because I had a stench that literally woke nodding heroin addicts and made them move to another car. My wife made me strip in the yard and sprayed me with a hose. The clothes were destroyed, I even had to buy a new phone because it always carried the faintest hint of death smell. That was the worst thing I have ever smelled and I pray to god I never smell anything worse.

My personal theory is that there was still active yeast in the dough and it was fermenting the sugars from the rat corpses.

Oh, then he'll probably get his if it ships at all , but no one else who isn't an influencer like him will get theirs that way. However, they didn't send him (of all people) a cherry picked, extra QC'd Plaid, or if they did, their quality is more dire than expected. Either way, it has resulted in at least a couple videos pointing how his Plaid is not as nice as any of other electrics he's been testing for the past year for the same/less money, and also how autopilot is sketchy, so I'm sure the roadster, if it's ever made and shipped at all, will be the same story. As it stands, Brownlee already cancelled his Cybertruck pre-order and just bought a Rivian as a filming truck instead.

Still, it's also a bit like watching cult deprogramming, video review by video review. Also, that seems to be consistent across the tech YouTuber space. LTT's car reviewers now regularly point out how/why [given EV] is better than [similar Tesla] and more worth your money [if it's in stock].
