Like when he said that the CyberTruck beat a Porche 911 in a quarter mile whilst towing a Porche 911, but Engineering Explained did the math and called BS. Then backed up the math by actually doing the quarter mile to prove it.
Silly human. You used earthling mathematics. On Mars (where Lonnie is from), physics works a different way. See? Lonnie is the genius all his sycophants say he is.
It’s Porsche. Sorry to be that guy but that bothers me.
No I’m happy to be corrected. I actually don’t know what’s come over me as a pedant myself, I should be ashamed.
I read that a few times…is he saying Porsches break down a lot so ya the truck would win. But then I noticed the spellings. So ya a cyber truck would beat a Porche, they’re cheap knock offs of Porsches
The entire gimmick was “cybertruck is faster loaded with an entire car and towing it, than the car itself”. They didn’t mention they didn’t go for the entire 1/4 mile. They didn’t mention they cherrypicked the slowest Porsche there is. They didn’t mention they lightened the trailer etc. It was 100% made in their favour, yet they still lost.
IMO a lightened trailer is fair. It’s really all about power to weight ratio. If a cyber truck could tow a car faster than that car can drive itself, then it means the power to weight ratio is that much higher. Torque also plays a role. They’d have to use a negative weight trailer for it’s weight to change that.
Guessing they ran the numbers and realized the instant torque of the electric motor would give them an edge at the very beginning, based on the “didn’t go the entire 1/4 mile” bit, which just means it takes less than 1/4 mile to make up for the higher torque in that particular scenario.
Also the skill of the drivers would play a role unless they set up an automated system (and tuned it right for both vehicles).
No, the marketing was “a tesla towing a porsche is faster on a 1/4 mile than the porsche”. And then they only tested it up to 1/8th, and “extrapolated” that it would win 1/4. Which it didn’t. It simply was false advertising, even with everything going “their way”.
Yeah, I don’t disagree with the way you put it there, the only part I disagree with in your comment above is that using a lightweight trailer should be considered a part of the cheating.
Why isn’t it part of cheating? You wouldn’t be able to use that trailer on public roads. It’s not that they used a lightweight trailer, it’s that they took an already barebones trailer and then cut and hacked away at it to make it lighter.
OP is referring to this story:

Yet another lie by Elon/Tesla.
Send help, I’m blind.

Genius move really
/s
Is seeing is, explicitly, believing, then we need to talk about magicians.
Nevermind magicians. What about Photoshop?
if you order elon musk from wish, you get something better
I thought Elon is what you get when ordering Tony Stark from Wish but this is better.
Is this the 2024 version of chuck norris jokes
Once a cobra bit elon’s leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died of burnout.
Elon doesn’t buy honey, he chews out workers.
If Elon buys out your company, it will be so successful that your revenue rolls over and you actually lose money.

Elon? Is this your account?
I’m pretty sure it’s a satyrical account.
But only ever trolls on posts with left-leaning undertones, probably trying to devalue the underlying message by adding distracting nonsense
…so…every other Lemmy post, then? 😂
Better hide the wine and the wood nymphs.
goddamned satyrs stealing my wine and fucking my wood nymphs.
good thing I’m in town selling my SatyrTrap Pro TM (patent pending) !
This is my new favorite insult.
I guess I don’t have to believe in gasses or vacuums. I can’t see them. They’re not real.
I also can’t see billionaires money. I guess they’re actually just broke bitches. 🤷🏻♂️
ATOMS are a lie told by the WOKE MIND VIRUS.
Gluons made the giraffes gay.
It is all about that Upsilon grindstone.
I read this as grasses and vacuums as in vacuum cleaners at first and was like ???
I mean, you never had to believe in gasses or vacuum. They’re real, so they don’t depend on your belief or lack thereof.
“Reality is that which doesn’t disappear when you stop believing in it”
And fucking magnets. How do they work?
For some reason I read glasses and in my mind I was: “Well I usually don’t notice when I wear my glasses so it does makes sense…”
Maybe I need new ones…
I’m glad almost no one calls him a genius anymore.
Only the same people who call Trump a genius do now.
Just guessing that both geniuses sniff the same stuff. They seem to get same kind of shitfits.
He tried really hard to be called the “real life Tony Stark” and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart
If he didn’t have an unfiltered public forum, people would probably still think that he is some eccentric genius.
I bet that publicist quit the day he called the diver who rescued those kids in Thailand a “pedo guy”. That or he just got really lucky without a publicist for a long time until his opinions started being more important than his image or success.
My parents still do. They can’t fathom that a billionaire could be anything but a genius to aspire towards.
Almost no one in your bubble/perception unfortunately. There are still lots of people that are only aware of him being a POS but still think he’s a genius.
He’s clearly smart. That’s because he has a lot of money. Only smart people have money and the more money you have the more smarter you get.

Don’t worry. Hit the slots and you might get smarter.
watermarking a tweet in response to a tweet, neither of which are yours, is crazy
(i get it’s probably not you OP, ur good)
I don’t see a watermark
This is how flat earth society was formed.

Interesting. That’s interesting
Do I think Elon is a genius? Not really, but I do know he just uses Twitter to troll people and look like an idiot on purpose. It prolly gets his rocks off in some way.

The better approach is to go out and try to disapprove the things you believe. That’s how science works, and that’s what will get you to the truth.
That is what is frustrating. He doesn’t really mean what you “see”. He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you “see” something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.
I wouldn’t call Musk a conservative per se, he like is buddy Thiel is a Libertarian - which doesn’t make his any better.
