    Ok so I’m not saying it looks GOOD but…wow, this car is so much less ugly in black.

    I have even less respect for people who buy the plain silver knowing this is an option.

      That’s likely a wrap as there’s no paint on offer from Tesla and a clear vinyl wrap is available for I think 3k. This black wrap was likely done at a third party shop. Probably cost around a 300 to a grand depending.

      I played a lot of N64 so the aesthetic is nostalgic. Unfortunately for Tesla, I don’t have enough money to buy a video game accessory at their price. For what they’re asking I’d need it to be an actual vehicle with the capability to survive a light rain.

        What about the aesthetic reminds you of N64? If it was light gray I’d definitely agree but it just looks industrial to me.

          Just that low poly nature of it. Makes me recall a time when the main character triangle counts were just in the double digits.

            Ah fair enough, it does indeed look like it belongs in Mario 64 or something. I was only picturing the console itself for some reason

      I don’t really get why someone would link to a shitty site like that, when the entire source is a single tweet. Just link to the tweet.

      Or better yet, don’t link to anything related to Musk and ignore him. The only reason Musk has gotten away with all his lies and bullshit is because everything he does gets shared around like it’s a big deal. Enough fucking Musk spam already.

    That side window not even cracked tho.

    But seriously, a huge point these articles never seem to include is whether the photo is before or after rescuers pried it apart to get the people out. I’ve been fooled before by horrible accident damage that was just “jaws of life”

      Yeah I don’t see the “can of sardines” shit in the ditch photo. But why are these things stuck in mud and wet sand so often, I thought they were intended to go outdoors for camping? And it doesn’t look like it was rolled, so why would rescuers need to use the jaws in the first place?

        It’s a funny image to think of, isn’t it? Needs jaws of life because stuck in mud?
