The Bee is being mean to Chicago, again.

Too high risk, IMHO. Should have tested it in Detroit and LA first.

Musk is not as smart as I thought. He should have outfitted his Cybertruck with flamethrowers. I’m told they’re used in South Africa to deter hijackers.

I remember seeing the fictional, Mel Gibson “Road Warrior” movie. I never thought it would become a documentary about big American cities.

OMG....I burst out laughing...

Having watched today’s cybertruck event, I have the following comments:

• Elon insisted that the vehicle is a practical, useful truck. He showed it out-pulling a serious standard pickup.

• OTOH he showed video of the “Beast” version of the vehicle out-accelerating a Porche. He even asserted that it could out-accellerate a Porche while towing another Porche. And as he discussed the vehicle, Musk very easily fell into referring to it as a “car.” I forget the exact zero-to-sixty time he gave, but I think it was below 2.5 seconds! I want to say 2.3 seconds.

The Beast model will set you back $100K. But if you were thinking about a Porche . . .

A commentator asserted that a businessman who bought one for business purposes could deduct the whole price in the year he bought it. How many businessmen could actually turn down a deal like that! Musk himself is on record, months ago, that a cybertruck would be his own personal drive - wonder why? 😊
