Okay that's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while since the rockets landing.

Car looks half decent too.

  • I like the fun retro look, similar to the N Vision 74 [1]. This actually has some taste unlike the Cybertruck.

    1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_N_Vision_74

    • I really wonder why I think the N Vision 74 looks so much better; it just has more personality somehow. I do agree though that the new Roadster looks a lot less bad than the Cybertruck.

    • I'd agree with you and merit the design has more thought as an upgrade to the look of the cybertruck. However it still looks like something to be left in a scrap heap of a destruction derby within Tron.

      Dislike the design, look and edge of it. Feels cold. Each to their own.

  • I guess you didn't see the video of a car sitting on a ramp upside down, doing flips in the air, jumping over a semi and other cars...

    Odd world we live in when we don't see that as being cool. But, we're seemingly headed there. At some point, it's going to be hard to imagine something that could surprise me.

      It is weird. I am not fan of Musk, but one has to have some crazy blinders on not to give him credit here.

      It is hard to believe your eyes -- I assumed it was magnetic or something initially.

      What's cool about that?

      I think that's extremely reckless, dangerous, etc.

    • Here you go: it's cool. A cool waste of money. You realize driving upside down and jumping is a) useless, b) illegal on public roads, c) staged? You think there are controls in the car that'll let you do 3D maneuvers? It's all preprogrammed.

      The only half-usable feature here is super fast acceleration.

      While you were busy getting baited by flashy non-features, you probably missed that this is coming out minimum 8 years late, with half the promised range, seat space, and the acceleration numbers all depending on unspecified consumable gas which you'll have fill up on somehow. If it ever comes out at all, what with Tesla's track record.

      BTW, the reason you haven't seen this before is nobody in their right mind would have spent so much money on something this pointless, not because this is some cutting edge tech.

  • Nah, this ain't it chief. I own exactly 0 directly. Too volatile and don't really care for Teslas at all. I love my gas cars.

> Car looks half decent too

To me it looks like a mashup of a Ferrari and a Cybertruck. That's not a good thing.

  • Same; there are stylish super cars... this again looks like a 5 year old kid drawing like the Cybertruck does.
