Has anyone else been to the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA recently? They've dedicated the entire main floor to Tesla. I was there and got to see a cybertruck lol



The exhibit was very simptastic, and was pretty funny to me. But the rest of the museum was cool so I don't regret going.

lol, every time i see it it's uglier than i remember

can't believe how badly tesla hosed itself out of the EV truck market with this thing, probably the biggest remaining opportunity for them -- just make a conventional truck and get it out there first and it would've sold like crazy -- and instead they poured years of development into cybrtrk which is guaranteed to flop :lol:

I feel like not enough people blatantly told Musk how stupid that thing is. More people should tell that toddler who's in his 50s that that truck is really stupid. A lot. Tell him that a lot until his dumb brain absorbs how stupid it is.

The truck is there to distract Musk from actually interfering with things that make Tesla money, like a jangly set of keys with a toddler.

yeah, but it was a terrible project to let him take on because there's an actual market for trucks

nobody at spacex cares if musk fiddles about with starship because there isn't a business case for it anyway

completely ceding the truck EV market when they were years ahead of the competition to distract elon is nuts. i have a feeling that the semi truck was meant to be the project to distract elon instead, since it has the classic signs: impractical, will never work, and is once again reinventing a train but worse (the AI convoy thing)

my guess is that they tried and failed to get his full attention on the semi, but he was too willful and stubborn to leave the truck to the adults in the company

I need *one* to keep up with news and with friends who are no longer part of my everyday life. I'm on that break right now, hence why I am posting here instead.

as much as I would like all social media's to be memory hole'd out of existence, they're fairly essential to the American lifestyle now.

I can't see spending the time to set up an account and taking the time to adjust my aglorithm and find what friends also went to threads, just to give the zucc your data to sell illegally yet again and bail whenever bluesky goes public

threads has a bunch of people and activity specifically because there's not much "account setup" to do if you are already on instagram.

however, it mainly seems to be for people who love to ~Engage with Branded Content~. like it's obvious a bunch of ad agencies have been having meetings about their "threads strategy" for several months and its already chock full of their bullshit

the general population of twitter seems to have split between the brands and normies (threads), the shitposters and freaks (bluesky), the nerds and dorks (mastodon), and the nazis and whoever stuck around to watch everything fall apart (twitter)

personally im on all of them at the same time because ive got the brainworms

i think what some of these corporates dont understand is that equilibrium is death. if you have a space completely dominated by one kind of poster, its going to become very stagnant very fast. the constant shifting of influence between different factions and the way they interact with each other is where a lot of the entertainment/information value of social media can be found. threads in particular is going to be a very over-policed stale space where you'll probably get disappeared for getting too uppity with your airline's customer service account or whatever

well, i like looking at pictures of food that my friends make and stuff they build or paint or are otherwise working on etc. and also i use it to post pictures of flowers and scenery or yes, food that ive made, and also to post videos of myself playing music

i don't understand how i'm "climbing up a fake socioeconomic ladder" or whats cringey about food posts i think thats more just a personal taste thing.
