elon has confirmed that they are not going to make single and tri-motor cybertrukks, only dual and quad, and the quad motors will be the first produced. never mind that they don't have a factory make them in nor do they have the necessary equipment to make the bodies, i'm sur ethey're on track.

the cybertruck will never exist as a mass-produced vehicle in its current form. they might sell a run of maybe 500 "founder's edition" or whatever that are similar to their current prototype and each cost $220,000.

quad motor founder's edition it is

trump did bosley because that was all that he could do in the 80s or 90s. modern rich people since the mid aughts have just used propecia for male pattern baldness. for another example, look at comedian daniel tosh.

the downside to propecia is you often need a prescription of viagra or cialis to go with it.

Remember how the Model S Plaid was the ultimate track weapon and not just a hastily thrown together publicity stunt? Eight 100mph to 20mph stops and the brakes caught fire:

https://insideevs.com/news/552775/tesla-models-plaid-brake-test/

Although I doubt you're slowing to 20mph for turns on most tracks in a Tesla, but you're probably also braking from faster than 100mph so who knows how the brakes hold up.

tesla only allows their cars to put 75kW of power into regen, and i assume it's to put less stress on the inverter/battery but they should probably rethink that strategy. porsche's taycan by comparison can put up to 265kW of power into regen, that's a lot
