My friend's husband works for Tesla and when I visited them last year, he told me Musky's new big challenge to his engineers was a car that could go from Paris to Beijing on an alternative fuel source. My suggestion of a Flintstones car was not deemed acceptable.

Sorry I know that was only meant to be added to the premium autopilot service.

I think it must of been accidentally added in with the regular autopilot service. Will change regular autopilot back to shallow grave in the nearest woods ASAP.

Speaking of which, new feature: your car will now automatically post to all of your social media when you are driving. “Out for a ride in my Tesla Model Y Dual Motor”, “Loving the smooth ride and Full Self Driving of my Tesla”, “Elon Musk is a genius and should be exempt from workplace regulations”, stuff like that.

Im going to add coins on the road soon to collect extra Tesla Points* that you can turn in for NFTs. You get extra points for collecting coins and power ups in other lanes - so pay attention!

I feel like it would be better to have consumers subscribe to their batteries rather than buy them with the car.

Of course they are still responsible for all repairs and maintenance. Even during the warranty, unless they purchase a separate battery warranty thats only good if the batteries are only slightly broken instead of being completely replaced.

Also, they would need to pay a separate fee for labour to repair the batteries, we could call that a "service contract".

Air conditioning uses a lot of energy that reduces the distances our cars can travel. That is why we are now offering tiers of climate control for customers cars. The basic tier is no windows, no roof, no windshield, just the power of nature keeping you cool. The second tier will be a windshield. Third tier will a fully enclosed cabin with small fans that are powered by the passengers. Fourth tier will of course offer full climate control, but it must be subscribed to. Without an active subscription, the system will fall back to peddle power.

Hey rear end in a top hat, you stole my idea!

I'm the genius who thought of this first posted:

This is genius. We can then sell "Elan's Choice" branded "Battery Boosters" (30lb battery packs) when the onboard mining rigs septuple the energy consumption!

Or, even better we sell "Elan's Select" branded "On the Go Packs" that weigh half that with a required subscription plan!

I'm going straight to "The Big M" (we're friends and he lets me call him that) and he's going to fire your rear end! Good luck finding another job after my boy calls you a pedo on Twitter!

Getting rid of all the glass windows and just making a solid metal body, then using monitors to see the outside will reduce costs and increase safety. I saw this on the bridge on Star Trek.

But what if the monitors break?

No problem, full autopilot will still get you home safe.

The glove compartment (aka, the "Grunk") comes pre-equipped with a booklet to provide law enforcement or court officers, laying out a legal argument that there is no constitutional basis for any law requiring attentiveness while driving.

In order to ensure that the Grunk pamphlet and pamphlet pedestal installation does not reduce overall cargo space available to customers, a tiny hubcap trunk (aka, a "Hunk") has been installed between the wheel and hubcap of each passenger side tire assembly. A Tesla branded screwdriver compatible with the proprietary 17-point screw head used to open and shut the Hunk can be added as an option at the time of vehicle purchase for $250, or any time after purchase for $9000.

INTERNAL MEMORANDUM

To: Software Team

From: Engineering Team

Re: Exciting Opportunity for Upselling

As you all know, we recently acquired a Model 3 to test, we've gotten extraordinary amounts of helpful data. While it would have been helpful for Musk to just give us a car, we all agree with his line of thinking that making us all pool our money together to buy one gives us more incentive to find issues with the vehicle. We used to not be unanimous in our agreement, but ever since we got Ricky fired for reporting to HR about the rope and shackles we put on his desk, we are now all on the same page.

Anyway, this memo is to let you know of another issue we found on the car, which is actually an opportunity.

Issue: The airbag material will deteriorate and fail if it is exposed to any interior cabin temperature shift of more than 20 degrees in a 20 minute period.
Recommended action 1: Create an Evergreen Climate mode that slows the amount of time the cabin temperature can adjust to the user's preference if it requires a temperature shift out of that boundary. We can market this to the consumer as an energy/environment saving mode.
Recommended action 2: Upsell on the notification screen for a 'Quick Mode' for a fee that will immediately deduct $10,000 from the customer's bank account. Legal/Accounting has estimated that the pool of money from this upcharge should cover liability fees.

Let's cut the battery in half, to save money and weight. Then let's put a diesel generator in the frunk and have it charge the battery.

We'll sell it as the "infinite battery" model, but people will just put fuel in it. And they can get that diesel anywhere so we'll also call it "untethered" and charge $50,000 more.

:hellyeah::histdowns:
With the doors that won't open and the massive fire risk, we've successfully reduced our liability in an AI crash from the driver and passengers to near zero. However, legal are worried about any surviving pedestrians or occupants of other vehicles. To resolve this, we've added extra crash sensors and power distribution circuits, and now, in the event of a crash, 100% of the available power will go to electrifying the outer body.
As a bonus, loss of power will prevent OnStar summoning emergency services, and we've moved the car log data disk to the bodywork where the high voltage will destroy it, meaning should anyone somehow survive, they'll be unable to prove us at fault.
