If you posted one such comment on every time NASA blew up something during their test programs your keyboard would have ran out of ink until now.
But Dave, you know these keyboards don't use ink.
Musk has been given the largess of 80 +years of rocket science, but tends to strike out and blow sh!t up , "doing it his way".
And Dave, since we're speaking in the hypothetical, metaphorical, and hyperbole, if you listed NASA's successes, you'd run out of ink., paper, and give yourself carpal tunnel syndrome in the process.
Who cares how it looks when it is that cheap, it does not cause cancer, it does not need fuel and requires no maintenance??? Oh... you...
Well, I'm thinking the
>projected< price points of 40K, 50K, & 60K, aren't what the average American would call "cheap". If you yourself could walk into the showroom, plunk down 50K and drive away without financing, the consider yourself much better off than at least 90+% of all Americans.
At some point everything "breaks". When you're dealing with a commercial vehicle, stuff breaks more. Hey, maybe you can get a million miles out of the motors. hooray! But everything else on the vehicle will break. Trust me on this, I used to work in fleet maintenance. How about yourself, have you changed a GMC tractor clutch recently?
As far as pollution goes, yes, electric vehicles pollute less, and it's by proxy from the electricity generation plants. And since we're not allowed to have nukes anymore, we're still burning coal in some plants. Which BTW, pollutes.,
How many square feet of solar cells would you need to power that truck? Because that's the only way you could realistically and categorically state, "it doesn't" pollute".
So do try to contain your hyperboly and Musk fanboyism. With Musk's ability to bullsh!t, make vague promises he doesn't keep, and convince himself he's the "messiah of scientific advancement", he really doesn't need you as his wingman
