The “We, Robot” event was peak 2020s Tesla: A long wait, few specifics, tons of promises for a bright future. But for whom?
What I don’t get about Tesla is: when will they ever update their existing vehicles, like every other car company does? The Model S has been around for over ten years. Aren’t they planning an S2? Or this all the RnD they have?
They’ve fully redesigned the S twice (2016 and 2021, rumored again in 2025), the X once (2021), and the model 3 once (2022). The model Y is rumored for end of this year or early next year.
I had to check Wikipedia to be sure. OK, the S got updated motors or restyled taillights, but they’re all externally indistinguishable for the non Tesla nerd. Look at how the Corvette and Mustang changed over the years, or the F-Series trucks. They went with the zeitgeist, and the S is still visually stuck in 2012.
Now say the same for the 911 since 1998. Updated taillights, updated motor, updated interior. Still virtually the same design.
Who’s of hands, who was surprised by this?
Edit: what the fuck did autocorrect mangle to come up with “who’s of hands?”
I am happy you left it this way.
I recall now, I attempted to type “show of hands.”
Autocorrect gore is fascinating, no?
He can drive tRump around in this crap
He probably literally can’t, since it’s basically just a big RC car on an extremely tightly controlled loop.
