It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Zeno, a startup aimed at markets in Africa and India, makes an electric bike that outperforms gas motorcycles and costs less—so customers don’t need a green incentive to buy them.

It is one of those weird things that musk had said he'd never make an electric bike/motorcycle and honestly it could have been a pretty decent side project for tesla, I wonder if it's just more of his public transport hate that made go that route

Tesla is putting all it's eggs in the robot basket atm. So I guess he rather wants to ride a robot horse 👩🏽‍🌾

Yeah, micromobility is a huge market now. But I guess we should be happy he didn't, because he'd probably try to add self driving and a touchscreen.

The Tesla Ironframe, too heavy to lift, has clip pedals that don't let you free your foot unless the bike is on, tires are glued to wheels, which are glued to the frame, which is glued together. Helmet has half-visor tablet that blocks your right eye and is required to use signals, but it's really cool

$12500 starting price
