Saw a Tesla today that someone stuck an old Rover badge on, cracked me up

I shamefully admit I almost pulled the trigger on a Tesla Model S Plaid back in 2021 or 2022. Flush with a shit ton of cash, but fortunately I was reading reports of production build quality issues, many recalls, and ultimately pulled back my deposit.

Looking back at it. The one decision I have no regrets on.

That's the part I never understood. Even if you weren't a Musk fan boy and before Musk showed his true colors, Telsa has always, ALWAYS been shit quality. I remember back in 2015, or so, there was a video of someone finally getting their Telsa and it had a massive crack running the length of the driver side A-pillar, yet they just ignored it.

Elon is getting slapped by the invisible hand.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 34 minutes ago* (last edited 33 minutes ago)

fun fact: the people who originally coined the phrase 'invisible hand of the market' called it 'the invisible hand of providence' which basically means 'gods inscrutable will'. capitalism-at least market capitalism-is literally a religion.

and its god is smiting his favorite special boy. so sad.

I think this hand ain't invisible. Well at least one finger isn't.

spacex and starlink need to be the next to go.

Space X should be nationalized

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It should be a part of NASA

Honestly I'm surprised Elon hasn't killed the SLS and given SpaceX that contract; it's one of the few things that would both benefit him and increase the efficiency of the government. He's probably scared of Boeing suiciding him.

We did pay for it.

We're still giving Elon $80 million a day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 27 minutes ago

im in favor of any company these fuckers were on the board of or were allowed to hold substantial shares of being nationalized as punishment, if we don't end up with some form of communism or blasted wastelands after all this. The capital class needs to be shown consequences, and if we don't get guillotines, they need to at least be forced to watch us sautee their balls.

The brand is forever damaged. Sell while you can.

I feel bad for Nikola Tesla having his name associated with all this nonsense. Not even death let him escape from rich assholes taking credit for the work of others.

His legacy can live on with Dr Parkinstein. (Parker Edmonson)

if Nikola Tesla weren't a eugenicist i'd agree with you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 29 minutes ago* (last edited 29 minutes ago) (1 children)

it was the turn of the 20th century; everybody was a eugenicist. that's why we say 'people from the past sucked'.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 minutes ago (1 children)

Imagine disregarding the entire domain of Tesla's work - changing the entire world as we know it with his research and innovations - and the comment they need to make for online points is some virtue-oriented pat-me-on-the-back-im-ethical blorp about random social norms of the time. lol but cry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

yeah, dude was so good at electrical shit I literally cannot comprehend how he got to some of his ideas from where he was.
