IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING

What is happening?

cybertruck facelift I guess

Yawn, let me know when they oust the retarded ketamine addict and I might care a little more

Note how there's no year mentioned, only a month and day.
I wonder why.
>>
>>29088982
What is this? (Besides an attempt to drum up conversation and pump the stock price)
Are those Cybertruck lights or the rocket powered Roadster Elon's been promising for 5 years?

>New Tesla Roadster
Don't care
Electric sport cars are boring
They don't have the drama and theatrics of a ICE sports car which is what made them fun
Electric cars are only good when they are fully autonomous because then they serve a utility purpose that wasn't a thing before

Cybercoupe.

rocket powered roadster, along with the roadster reveal.

if tesla had balls they would just released a fully drivable cybercab and rerelease it as the tesla model 2
>>
>>29089421
if Tesla had balls they'd sell themselves to BYD or Xiaomi so we can get a decent EV in the states

>facelift
nah, unsold Cybertrucks with extra shit slapped on to look more rugged and manly, probably called something like "Wastelands" edition

Corvette's faster.

Ford Maverick sized pickup EV
>>
>>29089421
But no one wants that. As a car the cybercab is pretty awful. They stripped the hell out of the interior in order to make it so light, it's fwd and only makes 200hp so it doesn't even have ev level acceleration, and people in general just don't want small cars especially two seaters.

kek, the cope is unreal and palpable.

shouldn't a "Ford Expedition Max segment" competitor be next?
I doubt that Tesla is ever going to build and sell a cheaper car than the Model 3 now that they're rolling out the taxi fleet.

Trans sisters I am so excited about a new EV for us!

I can guarantee you never drove a sports EV

No such thing.

Why don’t you all like cool things?
>>
>>29092403
Full size SUVs are actually one of the least desirable cars on the road. You think that's not true because you see SUVs everywhere but only 8% of SUVs sold are full size, or about 3% of all cars. What they really need is something "cool" again. The P100D and Plaid were media darlings, literally everyone wanted to make a video racing them against Ferraris and Lamborghinis. It was great publicity

I have driven ev sports cars and they are less fun to drive.
Electric steering, electric differential and advanced torque converters etc. etc. make the car feel and drive completely different than older cars with things like hydraulic steering and mechanical differentials.
Those more advance systems make the car objectively better in terms of speed and lap times, but it completely detaches the driver from the car.
You don't work alongside the car, the car basically drives itself.
You don't fight the steering wheel back into position, a computer does that for you.
For example, when you oversteer or understeer, an ev will have advance software to help you without ever having to worry about the steering or throttle, it corrects itself.
But older sports cars you have to manage the throttle and steering input yourself.
Driving a car that's fast but basically drives itself is less fun than a "slow" car.
I'm less worried about how my car's 4 second 0-60 vs an ev's 2 second 0-60 and more how it feels to drive.

Online ev sport car drivers a lot of the time worry more about having the newest shiny thing and spec sheet numbers so they can brag about it rather than driving a fun car.

I know what you saying man. I started my driving journey from a E21 BMW and was always appreciating the human-machine connection.
But times change, and I finally added a driver's EV to my garage. If I want to feel the screaming mechanics I can always drive my dusty Alfa Romeo Brera, but I prefer a Moto Guzzi for the daily dose of mechanical feels.

However, as the main car the EV is absolutely crushing all ICE competition for me in terms of pleasure from driving. And it's not about just the acceleration, my old E550 coupe was even faster. The overall sensations are something
>>
>>29092897
What sensations does the ev give you besides acceleration that's better?
>>
>>29092904
Mine specifically gives feeling of effortless gliding over the road even on fast corners, and silent monster pull just plays new tricks on my mind and body.

I also started to hate noises with age, and an EV experience provides a relief to my nervous system, while still delivering all the trills from a spirited drive.

>effortless gliding

>hate noise
I can understand that and I got the same feelings when I first drove ev sport cars but I bored of those feelings quickly.
Just like I said in my first post, it lacks the drama and theatrics I expect out of a sports car.
An ev sports car just goes, and it goes fast without you doing much.
To me it feels like it misses the point of a sports car.
Sports cars aren't just about going fast.

I guess its cool to go fast and not be as fatigued.
But I don't need a sports ev to get that.
Normal evs give that same effortless gliding, fast corning and silent pulls; just not quite as fast.
But a normal ev can still be crazy fast.

In November of 2020, a buddy of mine bet me $1000 that SpaceX would have a mission to Mars in 2025 and no later. I countered that I did not need the money, but I would pick out a set of boots to kick him in the balls with. He has not returned my texts since July 2024.

So they redesigned it to be cheaper to manufacture like the Cybertruck?

It's not, get real. It's Elong, he never delivers.
