I mean… on point with the subject of this thread, after Musk sold his first company, he bought a $1M McLaren F1. You know what happened to that car? Musk crashed it - uninsured.
Here’s what he said after the crash:
“You know, I had read all these stories about people who made money and bought sports cars and crashed them. But I knew it would never happen to me, so I didn’t get any insurance.”
Obviously, this man is a genius who should never be questioned.South of Columbus, Ohio. -
I guess I don’t understand why people criticize successful people relentlessly and wish them failure. Maybe it is their own insecurities I dunno.South of Columbus, Ohio.

He crashed the car because he floored it, in traffic, and later admitted he didn’t really know how to drive the car. He was trying to show off to Peter Thiel - the passenger at the time. He’s lucky he didn’t get them both killed.
But Musk is obviously a genius who rarely, if ever makes mistakes and whose wisdom should not be questioned by mere mortals who don’t have a fraction of his net worth. I don’t know what I was thinking."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -

As for the CyberTruck model itself I’m a bit more skeptical. That thing is ugly af."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
@JohnInCarolina I know a lot has happened in a year but I don’t know if one of “the big three” can afford Tesla. And as far as production of ev coming out of China I am pretty sure Tesla is already making cars in China, not sure if the big three are in that market.

The big three fell behind by pumping out gas guzzlers while fuel was cheap, kinda short sighted if you ask me.South of Columbus, Ohio.

As for the other automakers in China, here’s just a snippet of one recent report on Ford:

It’s hard to say what will happen on the future, I just wouldn’t bet against Musk. I’m holding out for a truck powered by fusion with a 8’ bed and retractable tonneau cover.South of Columbus, Ohio.
