Cybertruck Reveal

[4.0blue98]

Gentlemen.

I would love to interrupt.

This argument has been going on for 15 days. That's 360 hours.

Which means:

Since starting, this post has attracted 594 responses. This one marks 595.

Let's play fair and toss the one liners in with all the long tl;dr ones. (we would have been at 795 if Bird would have turned up for the thread)

Let's say, average of eight minutes per post?

That means in just over two weeks, TRS spent 79 hours, 20 minutes arguing about Elon Musk's shitbox, when we could have been arguing about how to hold a hammer when building the TRS race truck.

And sorry broh, idgaf if runs on gas, electric, or elons sense of self satisfaction. That thing looks like a shitbox. The design is not original (countach was a flat plate body), it's not stylish, it's not trendy,

it's ****ing lazy.

It's lazy ****ing design work. Vehicles are artforms. That's a rolling abortion. **** the engine or motor or gerbil. It makes me want to go blind.

Stop beating around the bush and tell us how you really feel!

You lost me at Gentlemen...

I know the REAL reason you're so down on it, PJ. It doesn't have a 2.9 in it.

I do have spare engines.

One of these days I'm driving out there with a 2.9, an engine hoist, and a team of exper. We are engine swapping your sh*tbox in the middle of the night for a 2.9.

You can thank me the next day ?

Good luck with that! It's in my driveway, sure. BUT, you have to find my house!

Once you find my house, my Ranger has been modded to the point that you'd never get a 2.9 to bolt in. There isn't one part that I didn't change, including the body. My Ranger is now a FWD four door sedan with IFS, bucket seats, a floor shifter, a 3.0, AX4S transaxle, unibody....... I even changed the VIN.

I know it’s an insult to both the DeLorean and the ElCamino, but...

I'll just leave this here.

Tesla is now worth more than Ford and GM—combined

[Jim Oaks]

Wow, it's close to being worth 3xs more than Ford. ?

Now if only he could produce a good looking pickup.

If I ever get one I am getting Gleaner stickers for it.

Now if only it could be profitable.

They have been lately. Hopefully that will continue.

I dont understand money as well as an adult my age should. But isn't stock price basically just a made up thing.... as in, elon goes on stage and dances around and people go "weeeeeee" and the stock price goes up, elon farts on a homeless kid the next day and people go "booooooo" and stock prices plummet? Thereby having nothing to do with the actual companies value in physical assets, profits or general worth to society?

 

[91stranger]

Only thing I know about the stock market is from watching "push" which talks nothing about the stock market haha. Great movie BTW

 

[Dirtman]

I watched an episode of ballers once... I think that was about the stock market? I dunno, it gave me a seizure 5 minutes in.

That’s exactly how I nderstand it.

I actually own stocks too... but considering the company paid me in stocks because they couldn't afford to pay me in actual money, I'm guessing they aren't worth much. Never even checked to see if the stupid place still exists. Handing me stocks is like giving a 5 year old kid a check for his birthday.
