Oh how smart. Use some 1960's technology to send a ton of junk into solar orbit. Inke helped pay for that no doubt, all the suckers did. Only an American could be proud of such a pointless waste of rocket fuel. The rest of just laughed our arses off, or at best, scratched our heads and said "Why"?

Why not sent an orbiter the circle Mars and look for a good site for his "Colony?" Why? Because it's all bullshit that's why. It's all overpriced marketing for racist robots

A Great video on how to eek out a few more miles from your Battcar. Thrifty Indians give you the good oil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0rudExrKdk

1/ Drive slower to avoid wind drag
2/ Use 'chill' mode and avoid fast acceleration
3/ Don't use roof racks, wind drag
4/ Don't carry "unnecessary" passengers, every pound slows you down.
5/ Be anal about tire pressures
A few I thought of.

a/ Find employment up a mountain and live in the valley below so you can coast home to your charger
b/ Move to a temperate climate zone, not too hot or too cold will save range on climate control.
c/ Invest in a power company paying a good dividend, Duke Energy, 3.63% (or go back to 2016 and buy Silver)

Does anyone ever wonder why Tesla's never had thin film solar panels integrated into the horizontal surfaces? Aside from the ascetics, it would be pointless based on how much electricity the batteries consume. 50 to 100+ kWh, even with 1000W of solar it would take 100 hours to charge the bigger one. Or about 12 eight-hour sunlight days. Pointless. The average home solar package is 5000W, at that rate it would take the entire production of a house for 20 hours to recharge from near zero. Two to three days depending on weather and season.

I'll stick with the 98%, I'll go with these

But even pipsqueak countries at least have their Olympians to be proud of!
Well....not all of them...but some are only capable of embarassing themselves on the world stage, same as they do on this forum.

being here is like walking through some American ghetto (San Francisco?) where the rubbish and feces is ever piling up. I'm conversing with a bunch of losers, debt junkies, povos basically, but the CC still works so they thing they are smart Old men desperately waiting for their house prices to go up so they can re-mortgage them and afford a new car. No cash in the bank, worked all their lives and still no cash in the bank Fucking losers alright. They invest their life savings in Shit like crypto and bloated stocks and when they lose they quietly disappear, because in our world you cease to be a person when you cease consumption.

A man should grow richer, even in retirement. If you're not, you've failed and failed your family.

When some backwards ignorant island can't build cars, or anything else Elon can do, puts their best Olympians out to just prove what a laughingtock country they are, well...at least they can enjoy the clean air while out doing what they are capable of.

The deal gives SpaceX a valuation of $1 trillion, and xAI a value of $250 billion, Bloomberg added citing sources.

The company is still expecting to hold an initial public offering later this year, one of the people said.

Ok Inke, time to sit down and do some rational thinking. I know you love you're ROW-B, not my cup of tea but I'm sure you're enjoying it. But don't translate your love for a car to a love for a stock. Tesla is a Sell, nothing surer. It's a hollow shell now the EV bubble has popped, a P/E ratio of 369.36. That's so far off the charts it's not even in the realm of believable. Robots dreams and fanboi and pension funds are the only thing backing it up, sell now mate, pay your tax and be happy with any gains you've made. In a year it will be in the toilet.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
