Ok so I am in no way saying you should do this but there's 360 cams on them so wrap up warm and run away battery fires let off lots of nasty chems so make sure you don't stand near a burning one for very long.

The funniest part about Teslas being on fire is that they just have to let them burn to the ground because the battery can’t be put out.
what do you call 4 cybertrucks on fire?
-
a good start
-
a garbage fire
-
a clustertruck
-
a mystery as to whether they just burst into flames on their own tesla style
So every cyber truck catastrophic failure is now an act of vandalism? Didn't we know these things caught fire randomly and spontaneously from their history? How far will weak business leaders go to prop up their crappy public parasitizing products?!
What a strange, random occurrence.
Unfortunately lithium batteries have been really unstable recently. It is just a fact of life. Nothing could be done about this.
What a beautiful picture.
I hope the artist does some more! Look at the beautiful patina!
The only way to make this piece of shit look rad honestly
The cops' facial recognition tech: palantir.
Peter thiel's most wide spread project. Peter thiel, the man who funded JD Vance. Peter thiel, the man who became a billionaire with (f)Elon at PayPal. Thiel, the man who decides who is invited to and what subjects are discussed at the bilderberg meetings.
Peter thiel is the most dangerous person nobody talks about.
Also, balaclavas and ski masks, my friends. And walk differently from your normal walk. Gait detection is also a thing.
The behind the bastards episodes on him are pretty good if people need to get up to speed
To mod your gait, an ankle weight (like gym-goers and runners use) on one ankle can help.
Wee pebble in the shoe works too I hear
From now on, attending demonstrations like
Walk without rythm, and you won't attract the cops.
Yeah a stone in your shoe is an easy way to change gait
I find that being incinerated has made the one depicted in the article considerably prettier. At least it has both curves and some color now.
And nothing of value was lost...
Didn't Elon Musk do this by releasing a shitty product that keeps exploding left and right? When four explode at the same lot, you know you've got a safety issue on your hands.
Oh no! Anyway...
Back in the early days of Tesla when they still had the only cool car they ever made, the roadster, they were so proud of their near fireproof battery with lots of smaller cells. I never heard about a Roadster fire, and the first few model Ss were the safest cars on the road. I guess Elon's "fire everyone and save money" strategy took a few years to show through.
The whole: savest car on the road is kind of a bs claim to begin with. They were very "safe" because they are so heavy and the battery is so low that it's near impossible to flip over. You colt take an "unsafe" car and weld 200kg on the bottom of the car and boom, suddenly it doesn't flip anymore.
Suzuki Samurai with skid plates when
Remember he came in after they already existed, was just an investor that demanded he be retroactively called a founder. All their tech up to the CyberCuck were iterations on the original, (sans his corner-cutting you mentioned, which was also terrible).
his teslas skipped out on QC to save money.
Warm weather is just starting. It's gonna be a fun summer!
