real question cuz i've never thought of it before, if you child-lock the backseat in normal sedan can that be overridden somehow?

that's the reason they gave but the real reason is that elon called up jack and told him he was extremely butthurt

Not if you're buying options though, since the maximum loss is whatever you paid.

i like how his alpha statement was attributed purely to being a white south african and not to the fact that he's an incredibly insecure narcissist

Endless Mike posted:

he's 6'2" and you're correct, but 220 is still going to be overweight for most anyone who isn't a biological male more than two standard deviations above average height.

one of the 152s i fly has a metal bar like that in the seat that you can feel.

so tesla has at least reached the level of seat comfort provided by a 40 year old small airplane where everything is built to minimize weight above all else

luxury vehicles


nah, that's when you're selling 100k+ luxobarges like bentleys or whatever. supercars are the one place where you can get away with making something that costs as much as a house and feels like riding in a coffin made out of a bathtub because you can say it's for performance reasons.

this is apparently the only picture on the internet of someone getting into a countach. i wonder why

musk won't be going to jail, but there are real monetary incentives for those empowered to conduct oversight of his antics to remove him from leadership if need be (unlike certain other rash tweeting executives)

for real tho musk has enough cash to comfortably live the rest of his life as an eccentric known for endlessly chasing publicity stunts and cosplayer tail at all the major nerd cons
