i am sad that he came off his drug bender enough to not yell at anyone at the event; but im glad people got to take a bunch of pictures and drive it around and call it a piece of poo poo, opening entirely new avenues for elon to yell at the public/a customer.CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:https://twitter.com/GlytchTech/status/1730287021996789820 lmao it's probably just a bunch of new old stock model 3 parts and new stamped parts they put 3 seconds of thought into, while also independently recreating some of the worst truck engineering decisions in the modern era what a loving mess MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Dec 1, 2023 |

William Bear posted:Has Tesla ever stated why it feels it needs to reinvent the door? For the Tesla itself IIRC it was from when Musk wanted it to be able to withstand biological warfare attacks so the windows go up through the door into the car frame in a really stupid way or something like that and it fucks everything else up.

priznat posted:MKBHD is a pretty gentle reviewer on everything it’s not like he just gives apple or tesla a soft ride. I like his videos as they’re well produced and he’s a charismatic presenter but they’re very light and fluffy. He's literally sat in his own Tesla, pointed out how the interior is poo poo by showing a glaringly poo poo part of the interior, and then proceeded to suck Elong's dick anyways. I lost a ton of respect for him once he started acting like a completely unapologetic Musk simp, and that was awhile ago.

nine-gear crow posted:Thiel destroyed Gawker because they outted him as a gay man like a decade earlier in the context of "known closeted gay man Peter Thiel is up to some horribly evil poo poo you should pay attention to." He then spent like 10 years pouring money into anyone and everyone who came at Gawker with a legal case in the hopes of destroying it in the most roundabout way. For example, the floorshitter Chuck C. Johnson's lawsuit against Gawker where it became public knowledge that he pulled his pants down and took a massive poo poo on the floor of a college dorm hall during a party as a part of the discovery process was funded by Peter Thiel. As was Hulk Hogan's racist sex tape lawsuit, which was the stab that finally did them in after who knows how many other failed tries from Thiel. No, that was Thiel watching Gawker stab themselves over and over in a series of increasingly stupid ways with a series of increasingly sharp and dangerous objects. Like at first they were just running with scissors and mild lacerations, then they lost a finger playing with a butterfly knife, then stabbing themselves with a bigass combat knife... Until at the end Gawker is covered with blood and major wounds, and they are drunkenly waving around a giant scottish broadsword, and they go "hey guys watch this!" and manage to chop off their own head. And then Thiel stands up and unsheathes a little wooden toy sword for children, and yells "Ha ha, I have bested my foe! Fear me, for the same will be done should any man cross me again!" Gawker killed Gawker. They got an order from a federal judge and said "nuh-uh, we're leaving the sextape video up. The first amendment says so!" That is put a gun to your own head stupid. Giving Thiel credit is buying into the same rich super genius billionaire bullshit that Musk is proving conclusively idiotic. Peter Thiel is so loving dumb that he thinks vampirism has some basis in fact. Any lawyer could have gotten a giant loving damage award from them with the way Gawker went about the whole affair, and Hogan could have plenty of good ones without Thiel's help. Hogan wasn't penniless and good lawyers will work contingency when they see that much blood in the water. Hogan was gonna sue, and he was gonna win a bazillion dollars because Gawker treated the whole thing like a joke until waaaay too late. After Hogan, Thiel's #2 candidate for his big Megamind revanchge scheme was... some dolt who claimed to have "invented email" and was suing because Gawker wasn't crediting him. loving dipshit stuff that would amount to Thiel paying both sets of lawyers fees. He's just another dumb rear end in a top hat who got lucky.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:https://twitter.com/Mike_M_Klotz/status/1729835777520021795 I hate to apply the brakes, but as severe as that looks, that's actually pretty standard. My Mazda has a similar multi-link setup with that alarming-looking ball joint right up top precariously positioned over the tire tread. Hardcastlemccormik posted:I don’t think this matters, it’s not like any of this is connected to parts that move around a lot or anything, much less move at an extremely high speed where something could really get hosed up. This is correct. The tire and that ball joint with the pokey bit are not going to hit each other because the steering knuckle there is all one piece. That aluminum curve at the top where the ball joint pokes down is the top part of a big, single, sturdy piece. The levelling sensor being exposed to rocks IS a little goofy though. The Cybertruck is going to be a limited-run vehicle, and units sold may see their value go up and down, but ultimately they will need a more competitive truck that actually can workhorse in the 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1-ton lineup that uses the company's design language, like the ones I posted earlier itt. A hardbody, stainless steel truck is novel but not really what people need or want at the end of the day outside of WOW, COOL. e:  The curvy part at the left (that's the top part we're looking at) is where the ball joint goes and pokes down through; you can see it's designed to go around the tire, and the main bearing in the center is where you bolt the wheel's hub to.
