This could be fun..... lotta strong opinions around this brilliant guy. I just took a drive in buddies Tesla, the highest end version 4 dr with gull winged rear doors. He picked a spot on PCH at a red light and a long straightaway and pushed Ludicrous mode, light turned green and he floored it..... JESUS CHRIST! I had two physical reactions: 1. my ankles and calves tingled I suspect cause all the blood got thrown out of my feet. 2. My eyeballs literarily got squished into my sockets cause there was a strange shaking visual effect happening. Wow that was an insane 3 second situation. And absolutely zero wheel spin at launch from stand still. I won't even go into watching him go hand/ feet free while it drove in 45-55 mph pch traffic. Insane tech.

Even with Elon on, I won't be watching SNL. After the other rich guy called out shorting Doge today it's been struggling to go anywhere. I suspect it will spike hard tonight and drop like a rock after with a slow climb from the fallout.

Don’t have Ludicrous mode but regular acceleration in the Wive’s is awesome. I’d definitely be in for a spin.
Think it’s a $10k upgrade for Ludicrous. Gonna have to cut that a bit to get me to jump on board.

I got 300 more a little while ago at .64. I’ll be watching Robinhood for sure maybe the show too.
If a big spike I might have to take my couple thousand and call it good. 🤷‍♂️

Apparently that hyper mode really causes some heat ..... the fans were humming loudly as we got back in hood after several short speed launches.... cooling the batteries I imagine.

Our Model 3 randomly hums to us when we go in the garage.
I’m pretty sure it always hums but we only notice when we’re there. 😁

I really have never watched much SNL, but decided to give it a shot for Elon. The skits were terrible, but Elon's monologue was good. Aside from that, I was astounded by how racist that show is. I mean, it was just blatant. I guess "woke" is just an accepted term for "racist".

Full frontal attacks on white, heterosexual men or republicans is not racism, it’s open season.

I have given snl so many attempts over recent years but their humor has just no value for me at 62. It must be an age thing. When I was 19 and they had Belushi, Akroyd and that crowd every friend I had male & female would gather to watch every Saturday night. So perhaps the younger folks think these skits have humor value.... otherwise network would take it off air I guess. I also thought Elon did well.... I didn't know about his aspergers, makes sense... I've got a friend who has a sprinkling of that shit and he's brilliant and high functioning career as well.
