I just want to take a minute and saw WHAT THE HECK IS ELON THINKING.
First off, he says to have more kids. Great, I’m all for that and working on that.
Then he says we are all going to trade our personal cars for Robotaxi’s?
Ok ok… if you’re single, you may not understand how absolutely historical this notion is.
Situation 1: My family of 4 wants to go out to dinner. We have 2 kids in car seats. I haul a Robotaxi. Crap it’s just a 2 seater. Now we hail one bigger (Model Y?). Cool, we can all fit. Now I dimply around the back seat for 30 minutes properly installing 2 car seats. Now we load up the kids, get in the front seats, and we are FINALLY off. Then we get there. So now I need to remove 2 car seats and somehow carry 2 kids AND 2 car seats inside the restaurant. This is boarder line impossible but hey, it’s fine. All in the name of Elon’s mission. And this is actually the easier scenario. And oh yeah, we get to do this all over again just to go home, not to mention if we wanted to make other stops. Each stop you get to do this again and again and again… wow.
Scenario 2: We want to visit family 200mi away as we frequently do. Same load up difficulties as before but it’s amplified… by a lot. Now we need a stroller, pack and play, toys, diaper bags, coolers, luggage for all of us, and more! So now the Robotaxi comes and waited for us to load for a good hour. If I’m being honest, that’s a huge underestimate. But that’s besides the point. So we try to cram all of that in a Model Y (FYI - it won’t fit. That’s why we sold our Y for a BUZZ) and we are off. 200 miles of being chauffeured. Suddenly, one of the kids isn’t feeling good and throws up. Shoot, we didn’t bring the proper rags to clean this mess up. Now what? When we use to own a car extra supplies like this just lived in the car! Ugh. Whatever, we use that
But the annoyance continues. We get there, unload, and the Robotaxi takes off. We made it. Now we can enjoy family. We usually stay at the grandparents house BUT WAIT, now we want to go over to the aunt and uncles (real scenario). So now there’s 6 of us, crud. We need TWO Robotaxi’s. And now I get to do the fun of scenario 1 all over again. So we visit the aunt and uncles and now I get to do it AGAIN. And now we want to go out to dinner and I get to do it AGAIN. TWICE. You get the point, to say this is incredibly impractical is a drastic understatement.
Seriously, WHO THOUGHT THIS THROUGH?!?!
And I’m not even going to try to explain how the great American vacation is also ruined by this.
Long story short, the amount of people willing to give up their personal vehicles is close to zero.
I don’t know if you realize that we live on the same planet as the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak. Driving on a road like that with a 985-hp twin-turbo V6 must really make you question the true meaning of life. And as impressive as it sounds, it only won the Unlimited class once, constantly beaten by Rod Millen and his Celica, and later by the Tacoma.
how do you get to a place ideologically where you call yourself a libertarian but also believe people need to stay in their houses so that agents of the federal government don't execute them in the streets
En 2003 Suzuki lanzó el Twin (1a foto), el primer kei car híbrido. Era biplaza y solo se vendió hasta 2005. Ahora Rocket Bunny, una empresa de kits de carrocería japonesa, ha lanzado un kit específico para transformar el Twin en un GT-R R32. Tan delirante como imprescindible!!!!
PSA: The Kansas City Chiefs were always a Missouri AND Kansas team. Both states were featured in a 1960s team logo (along with Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma). Relocating the stadium to the other side of the metro area doesn’t change that. Being upset over Arrowhead’s fate is understandable, but projecting border war nonsense onto a team that has always belonged to the entire region is irrational.
Wait… you’re telling me you can vote TWICE for Travis Kelce just by hitting the RT button on this post? 😅
Let’s get his charity the WPMOY prize money and send the GOAT to the Pro Bowl! 🔥

It’s such a refreshing feeling to know that the Chiefs are going to blow a team out and then watch them blow a team out. Can’t remember the last time I expected it and it happened
