“Elon seemed surprised by the results”.
“We threw wrenches, we threw everything,” he said on stage. “We even literally threw a kitchen sink at the glass, and it didn’t break. For a little weird reason it broke now, I don’t know why.”

Proving that Elon is still an ignorant ‘tard no matter how much taxpayer money he milks the public for!

Maybe someone should explain “Mass” and “Density” to him?
Sure a light, low mass item, like a wrench bounced off, that could happen with standard glass.
I actually have some familiarity with this particular glass as I’v e been doing some research for a project of my own.
It’s impressive stuff when used in the proper application, but it’s NOT “Transparent Aluminum” as musky seems to think!

If he were half as smart as he wants us all to think, they would have used the same objects at the presser as they had tested the glass with before.

Was this inspired by "The Vehicle" in the Logan's Run TV series?

If you can afford this thing, then just custom order better glass.

The stagecraft build up was incredible...

It looked like a low-budget MTV music video from the 80's.

The same top three cars you local fire department wants NOTHING to do with in event of a fire and the toxic cloud that will erupt!
And also not really germane to my post.

Musk seems to lack any real word grasp of elementary physics.
His “People” should have known better,. but maybe you have to go down several levels to find “Common sense” in his world?

“Musk seems to lack any real word grasp of elementary physics.”

Are you referring to the man that has the world’s most powerful rocket?

Here is the Timex live commercial where the watch fell of the prop. But they managed to show it ticking under water.

That's a truck?

Dave's Site



Where does one put the hay, wood, tool box at?

I can think of a lot of words that rhyme with "uck" but "truck' doesn't come close to describing this "thingy

i guess the sloping sides help deflect radar beams so the cattle don't see the farmer approaching....

Musk recently started a keto diet who’s main ingredient is spinach.

"Room for improvement," Musk says with a shrug."

Musk is also famous for this quote after one of his rockets that blew up: "Rapid unscheduled disassembly"
