I like how Musk is still janitoring email accounts for some reason; and him being in China is holding it up or something for whatever reason.

its because the guy he told to do it isn't awake yet

Electrek’s Take

We have often posted articles about Tesla shorts grasping at straws, but I think this one may top it off. They have outdone themselves.

Why on earth would Tesla produce cars that customers haven’t ordered when thousands of people who have ordered are waiting for their cars, including myself?

There’s literally zero news here. We already knew that the number of Tesla vehicles in transit would increase significantly with the production rate. That will be reflected by much higher inventory at the end of the quarter.

Just some hard hitting honest unbiased journalism here folks

Imagine sitting in the back next to your baby in their car seat and it happens, you must quickly exit, do you do as they suggest climb out through the trunk after finding the release, break the side glass with the tire iron you always have with you, then, what about your baby, even worse what if you were hit in the back blocking any possible exit that way?.

thats why you want to be an endurance athlete and weigh the same as your pregnant wife

and get lightheaded when you stand up too fast because your resting heart rate is too low

and die from other heart issues because physicians can't tell if your heart has changed due to training or if you have a heart defect

loving love star trek and it's hard science fiction

I like how they were so casual about it; like drop one line about slingshotting at the beginning of the episode to explain why they’re in the past like it’s everyday procedure and that’s all the mention it gets

It’s almost as fun as the crossover episode for another failed series with a much more traditional script
