Tesla Roadster

i had to delete my previous article on this subject that i wrote earlier today because i came across new information about the stunt …

really this is hard for me because i just don’t care about Elon and Tesla enough to read anything about this event …

i previously posted that the stunt was faked because it was physically impossible for the car to stick to the ramp the way it did … that post was made on the assumption that thrusters were the only thing added to the car because in the original vision for the Roadster it would be a normal car with thrusters added and i never bothered to read about this new demo event …

now i am reading the car had a suction fan to create downforce to make it stick to the ramp like that …

if that is true then on one hand the good news for Tesla Fanboys is that this makes the stunt possible without hidden cables or CGI …

the bad news is that this almost certainly means a prop car was used and not a working prototype because where the fuck are you going to fit that fan in a real car ? also a real car would be too heavy to be held up by such a fan.

however i have a low degree of certainty about any of this because i honestly can’t bothered to research WTF they actually did for that demo but regardless this is definitely TESLA JUMPING THE SHARK moment

you thought Cybertruck was bad ? this is 10 times worse. this is pure desperation.

first of all i don’t believe the system can be practically implemented but secondly even if it could be - what would be the size of the market for it ?

Tesla only sells one Cybertruck for every 40 F150s that Ford sells … and the Cybertruck was designed to be practical …

this Roadster BS is a fucking joke and even if they can make a real car ( not a cardboard prop ) hover like this my guess is less than 1,000 of them will ever be sold.

the last product Tesla made that actually sells is Model Y which was announced 7 years ago … which is itself a crossover version of Model 3 that was announced 10 years ago … and those are the only two cars that Tesla sells in any significant volume …

if i was an investor i would want to see Tesla deliver a new model somebody will actually buy but instead you get this practical joke …

PATHETIC

the objective of the stunt is clearly to make children think that Tesla is still cool. This stunt is completely irrelevant to any actual future product …

do you remember when Elon sent a roadster into space using a rocket ?

this is just a continuation of that …

reminds me of how i was taking a ride from the airport in a Tesla uber and there were retarded high school kids in some broken down POS car next to us and they started doing dancing like movements and show signs of approval to us because we were in a Tesla … it made me want to vomit …

if only those lemmings knew how much i despise them and Tesla and all scammers and retards in general …

as for this roadster stunt i’m still not going to read about it. i do apologize to the readers for previously posting wrong information claiming the car sticking to ramp was “proof” it was faked … but i am too disgusted by Elon, Tesla and everything surrounding them to actually deliberately read about anything they do or say.

all i read about this event was stuff that just popped into my X timeline inadvertently. i block all Tesla accounts because i don’t want to hear about this garbage.

i do apologize again for my previous wrong post on this subject.

something else i have to say.

part of the demo was roadster using thrusters in the back to accelerate to 60 mph in 0.8 seconds. now let’s assume they can really double the acceleration using these thrusters. if so they could have put the same thrusters in the front instead to double DECELERATION ( also known as braking ).

Elon says Tesla is the safest car in the world but driver fatality rates suggest the exact opposite. Thrusters in the front used for braking could HALVE the number of deaths in Teslas.

Tesla deaths are a major issue - the company is infamous for Autopilot ramming various objects killing drivers - so what does Elon do about it ? nothing of course.

On other hand NOBODY thinks Teslas aren’t quick enough so what does Elon do ? Double their quickness.

Also nobody thinks Teslas aren’t gimmicky enough so what does Elon do ? Make it fly and do somersaults while flying.

If this doesn’t tell you what Tesla is you’re not gonna make it.

100% hype. ZERO substance. zero concern about delivering on promises or people dying. always was - always will be. This is Elon and he cannot be anything else.

only thing that has changed is that now when you preorder the roadster you get a disclaimer saying that the car may not ever actually be delivered.

remember NINE YEARS AGO Elon has taken $250,000 deposits for the roadster. he just kept that money and now we find out the model people paid deposits for will never be … instead you can now AGAIN put down a ( $50,000 ) deposit but at least this time there is that disclaimer that probably Elon will just hold your money and never actually build the car ( which should be obvious but apparently isn’t )

also i want to remind you that when i was paying Elon for premium X membership and my account got suspended he kept billing me while i was unable to cancel the premium because doing so required logging into the account which i couldn’t do due to being suspended …

at the time i thought my situation was unique because most people don’t get suspended but i later learned people who were not suspended were also facing difficulties canceling the premium …

it was several months after getting suspended i finally was able to find a hack by googling that allowed me to cancel my X premium subscription …

this was after spending about an hour trying to charge the money back on my VISA which ultimately didn’t work because X insisted that i hadn’t cancelled the membership and therefore it was not fraudulent that they kept charging me even though i was not able to use the service …

there is no depths to which Elon won’t go to scam people out of money no matter how trivial the amount … in my case he fought VISA to ultimately screw me out of about 10 bucks …

when i heard that at Tesla offices there is no toilet paper because Elon wants people to bring their own toilet paper i was skeptical … but i believe it now … 100% Elon would do this

the idiots who put down $250,000 deposits for the roadster also probably couldn’t imagine how Elon would fuck them but that’s also why he keeps getting away with hit - because nobody can imagine how low he will go

Elon has no honor … AT ALL … he is basically a Pajeet Scammer but with 160 IQ instead of 80 IQ

which is also a life lesson - NEVER underestimate how low your enemy will go - also assume everyone is your enemy

R&T is usually good:

not gonna read it myself but you probably should …

the reason i won’t read it is because Fuck Elon and Fuck Tesla.

He is a legit psychopath just like his father (confirmed thus genetically transferred)..there will be no flying thruster cars :slight_smile: it is just a stunt just like all else and I actually applaud it. He is capitalizing on stupidity which should be taxed :wink: While he totally should refund and pay penalties for collecting deposits on v1 roadster from 2017, those people didnt know better and were outright scammed. People who are leaving deposits for this now and there are a lot of them are fucking braindead scum and are a fair game at this point. Also the thruster and rocket bs will not be in a production car this was just a stunt, and all this pizzazz of nonsense was just to push regular version (at best) and stroke Elon’s ego.

the main purpose of the “demo” was to reinforce the “he lands rockets bro” line of thinking among investors which has been the only thing propping up Tesla stock - the idea that Elon is a one of a kind genius and nobody can do what he does.

the reality is that Tesla lags the Chinese like Xiaomi and others when it comes to EVs both in terms of acceleration and charging performance. and Tesla lags Waymo when it comes to True Unsupervised Autonomy.

yes Tesla leads when it comes to advanced driver assistance which is what Autopilot is because even though it can drive the car by itself YOU are still responsible in case of a crash. in other words Tesla is indeed a leader in killing people and then blaming the victims - but they are not a leader in much else.

Even the supercharger network is a scam. There was never a need for a Tesla charging standard - they could have used the industry standard CCS. Both tesla plug and CCS plug came out in 2012. US and Europe worked together to develop CCS though US has CCS type 1 and Europe has CCS type 2 while Tesla decided to develop their own standard kind of like Apple had their own Lightning port instead of just using USB C.

Tesla lemmings told me this was all the fault of US and Europe who had the obligation to adopt Tesla standard which they say Elon graciously offered to them ( no evidence of that ). They claim Tesla couldn’t adopt the free industry standard CCS because it had a larger plug and this for some reason matters.

Tesla needlessly fractured the charging space for a decade and only when it finally started losing and CCS was poised to take over as the bigger charging network Elon finally did everyone a “favor” by doing what he claimed he did a decade before and opening his network … PARTIALLY …

only a fraction of Superchargers are actually available to other automakers … just enough to get them to adopt Tesla plug but not so many that Tesla would lose the competitive advantage in having the largest network …

Elon basically tricked other automakers into building charging stations for Tesla by promising to open his own charging stations for them in return … but we know how much Elon’s promises are worth … he did open SOME of the superchargers … but what he is getting out of this deal is Tesla’s continued dominance in charging space whereas if he didn’t cut this deal Tesla would have been crushed by CCS … this was perhaps Elon’s most impressive feat …

it’s like if Apple managed to convince the world to switch from USB-C to the lightning connector with the deal that all non-apple devices must provide 100% unconditional support for Apple devices but Apple devices will only provide a level of support they feel like providing to non-apple devices …

it’s like the type of “open” relationship where one person can sleep with anybody they want but the other person has to be faithful … and Elon successfully pulled this on the entire Auto industry … in US anyway …

anyway the roadster demo was deliberately designed to perform a flip ( using the ramp ) because Space X rockets have to do a flip before landing ( video below is of a failed landing but otherwise the flip is the same )

so the demo was designed to specifically reinforce in the minds of child lemmings the connection between Tesla and Space X even though there is absolutely no scenario in the real world where you would need to do a flip in your Tesla …

the sad thing is that such boosters could actually have been put to good use for example to prevent rollovers in an SUV … for example you clip a curb while taking a hard corner and your SUV begins to roll over but a booster counters and the car returns to horizontal … unfortunately Elon simply does not give a fuck about anybody who is giving him money - to him they are suckers to fleece and the fact they were stupid enough to give him money only reinforces in his mind the idea that they deserve nothing - not even to keep their lives

what a practical solution to a non existent problem:

a carbon fiber tank the size of an elephant …

i am so old i remember when Elon laughed at Hydrogen cars because of the huge tanks they need to hold the hydrogen …

so they’re not even hiding the absurdity …

Elon wasn’t joking about Corporate Surrealism being his craft …

that guy is hopeless …

Polymarket on X: "JUST IN: Elon Musk reveals future Roadster demonstrations could include flying over the Grand Canyon." / X

great LOL

Polymarket on X: "JUST IN: Elon Musk reveals Tesla plans to build a massive Hot Wheels-style looping track at its Texas HQ where Roadster owners can perform extreme stunts." / X

this will compliment the Las Vegas boring tunnel well

it has been now 10 years since Elon unveiled the Boring company which was supposed to put tunnels under major cities within months and took massive amounts of money from city governments to do just that …

as best i can tell the only tunnel that was ever built was a demo loop under Las Vegas convention center …

Elon just keeps making promises and taking money and people keep falling for it

amazing
