Tesla's Flying Roadster Revealed
Normally we'd have a thread in Off Topic but Mr Musk got involved in politics so anyway...
This is the world we live in. And yes I actually like the design of the new roadster.

New poll: what will be the triggers and how many lip and nose piercings will be involved in the first vandalism of Elon"s latest innovation?
Will compressed air trigger the lib-squirrels to a new vendetta rampage?

Think military applications. The Cyber Truck (already bullet-proof) but a guns and Faster than a speeding bullet able to leap tall buildings in a single bond. .

I read 0-60 < 1 sec. and thought, ‘Nope, unless it’s rocket-powered’.
Then a little later, ‘Nope. People gonna die.’ And finally just, ‘Nope. Cool but still nope.’ |

It's technically impressive. And amusing. Very Elon. I'll celebrate that. But I'm not sure I need one.
I was a long time Musk hater. But then he bought Twitter and kept free speech alive. I will forever respect him for that. And I find him amusing. I'm not a fan boy, but I respect his genius. I think the Cyber Truck is outwardly an abomination, but I have ridden in my friend's CT in self driving mode and I was impressed. The tech on these vehicles is something else. Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll be extolling the benefits of rocket-powered Tesla loop de loops... Sent from my CPH2451 using Tapatalk |

amazing tech, but not much more than a circus gimmick for a few seconds…
