You really need to see the stream; they're saying the new Roadster will be SOOO insanely fast that not even the million dollar supercars can keep up anymore...

That's pretty ridiculous, also unneeded, since driving that fast is illegal.

Also, probably not gonna watch the stream, sorry.

We're not talking about how fast you can go, we're talking about how fast you can get fast... (Plus, speed limits don't normally apply on private roads or racetracks or disused airport runways, which is where you'd wanna test out these things, anyway.)

Also, there's gonna a bajillion news reports on it tomorrow, anyway.

I think it's because pro-fossil fuel people say you need gasoline to power big trucks and the like so they wanted to prove you can have an electric/hybrid semi too

Expand  

At least on paper, an electric semi truck is a bajillion times more economical and less smellier. And since this is Tesla we're talking about, there's autopilot and platooning, so imagine driving one of these electric monsters and having 2 or more semis following right behind you; something like that is said to be even more economical than transporting things by rail. Plus, all the dangerous things associated with an out-of-control truck are just less likely to happen or won't even happen.

Plus, they have a car that beats every supercar in existence; top speed of at least 250mph and 0 to 60 time of 1.9 seconds; there is no production car in existence that can do that... (Well, there's one car that can do 268mph, but how much faster is the Roadster if all they're giving us is a minimum top speed?)

I kinda wish I took the time to RSVP for the event, because I'm about an hour's drive from LA and it was on a Thursday, and as expected, there's an explosion of news articles.

Lamborghini and friends say they wanna make something electrified, but if they're gonna get a new exhaust pipe ripped open, they're gonna have to step on the proverbial gas pedal...

tbh he laid down way more info than I was prepared for

Expand  

Unless it's Optimus Prime or whatever it is you ordered off of Amazon, what do you expect out of a semi truck?

Also, there was something in one of the Teslas' trailers...

If you use skype at all then that's not actually a good reason cause its literally the same thing.

 

 

Really, its basically the same as any other IM service. Even Steam.

Expand  

I don't use Skype, I switched to Discord to talk to people I already know.

I'm just antisocial to just jump into channels like on Discord.
