| I guess you didn't see the video of a car sitting on a ramp upside down, doing flips in the air, jumping over a semi and other cars... Odd world we live in when we don't see that as being cool. But, we're seemingly headed there. At some point, it's going to be hard to imagine something that could surprise me. |

| The HN crowd isn't what it used to be. Technology doesn't excite most people here anywhere. |

| ▲ | raddan 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I know you’re using a throwaway account but in case you come back to read this: we’re all tired of being scammed. Virtually every hot tech company now routinely overpromises and underdelivers. Some products are scams; some products kind of work but at great personal risk to oneself and others. The future we are excited about is one where technology SOLVES ACTUAL PROBLEMS. |

I am not fan of Musk, but one has to have some crazy blinders on not to give him credit here. << At some point, it's going to be hard to imagine something that could surprise me. It is hard to believe your eyes -- I assumed it was magnetic or something initially. |

| ▲ | dawnerd 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Also wouldn't be that crazy for them to put together a demo that'll never actually be a production vehicle. Dunno why anyone thinks this will ever ship like this. One thing to market a car, another to just show off features that just wont be real. | | |

For an unpractical vehicle that now has the ability to launch and crush another car? If said to be true. As if driving wasn't already dangerous and stupid enough. If he would show maturity for a change rather than his childhood antics then I would give him credit. | | |

Man only manages to coordinate an engineering feat and your response is "why can he not offer something responsible like a lightly breaded toast"? Beyond the obvious part where I say that his antics are part of the product demonstration ( roadster is space moment being another notable moment ), is your objection truly that he didn't come to the podium with a clipboard and say: "
Begin communication
- it jumps
- it go up upside down
- it can go 0-60 in 1 sec
End of communication." Fuck man. Where has your wonder gone? | | |

| ▲ | iugtmkbdfil834 an hour ago | parent [-] | | This is a real question and not a bait: if you are that hard pressed.. why are you here arguing with a rando over billionaire toys and not securing medicine and/or food? | | |
