I feel so....betrayed.... :sorrow:

Don't.
You'll get plenty of chances in one of our daily veer championships.

BTW... I just noticed, he's got the P90D..... 2.8 sec. car. Dayummmmm!!! I gotta grab his keys one of these days.

If one thing p---ses me off it's how they choke off all that potential with with skinny old-fashioned rubber tires just to keep the insurance companies happy.
Thing oughta do 1.9.
"Ludicrous Mode", indeed.

In any case, first thing I'd do with a P85D is this:

Can't understand why Musk hasn't offered that himself, you'd think it'd be a natural.
Maybe he's striving to maintain a conservative corporate image?

He's still working on a battery design that will power the turbine.
His plan ultimately, is going to Mars electric.

That'll be dwarfed by the pending Fiat-Kia-Nissan-VolksWagen conglomeration.
It's just taking 'em a while to agree on an acceptable corporate logo.
"FKNVW" just don't seem to convey the right image and it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, either.
As usual the media gave short shrift to the real blockbuster news in the last week.

Now we just gotta work on a transferable warranty.
Valid in any country including Mars, Florida, California, and Roswell New Mexico.

The "k" is silent right? (just in case I want to use it in a moment of frustration)
Nope.
Not that I expect that to make any difference in how you decide to pronounce it.
In fact, to further muddy the waters, it could even go as far as FKNVWFender given VW's exclusive on Fender Premium Audio sound.

Ah! I remember VW trying to lure some to the purchase of a car (a few years ago), by throwing in a free Squier in the deal..... if anything, that may have dissuaded me. lmao

Coincidentally, in a course on "Business Strategy" I teach, I talked to a team of students yesterday - they wanted to analyze the US Auto Industry - they were assuming it was GM, Ford, and Chrysler. I showed them a similar link - "remove Chrysler from your list and add Tesla"!

walrus

Depending on your definition, Chrysler might not even still qualify as a US Company:
"Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, also known as FCA, is an Italian-controlled multinational corporation incorporated in the Netherlands.[5][6] and currently the world’s seventh-largest auto maker.[7] The group was established in late 2014 by merging Fiat S.p.A. into a new holding company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., which is incorporated in the Netherlands (with headquarters in London) for tax purposes."
From the "usual source":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles

In any case the list should now read Tesla GM Ford if one uses a market cap rating method.
At least as of close of market yesterday.

Wow, how did I miss this?
From CNN.com:

Well, that was fast. Elon Musk claims to have sold out of flamethrowers in just four days.
"When the zombie apocalypse happens, you'll be glad you bought a flamethrower," he tweeted on Sunday. "Works against hordes of the undead or your money back!"

I guess the only thing I'm still scratching my head about is who in the world would consider a flame thrower, uh, Boring....

:tongue-new:

Boring because it probably wouldn't even work as a blow torch much less a flame thrower.:biggrin-new:
