I don’t know about all of you, but I have renewed confidence in a Musk-backed brain chip.

I take it they'll have to remove the frame to replace the pedal cover, but it's not that costly. Only $5000. Recall, you say? Oh...okay. Drive 300 miles to your closest Tesla dealer, and they'll do it for free.

Tesla.
We, for whatever reason he did it, he helped kick EV development up a bit. Thank you, Elon. Now take your fascist ass somewhere else.

@arstechnica I mean I know it keeps getting said, but GOD is that an ugly vehicle. And I say that as someone whose favorite car of all time is the DeLorean.

@arstechnica At what, about $100,000 each, that’s $3.8 billion in recall? Do they even have a proper fix ready? They just going to put in a bolt?

@arstechnica Meanwhile they have the opportunity to make it waterproof.

@arstechnica I suggest another recall to correct that hidious look. Some people will spend money on the most banal and grotesque things.

@arstechnica I am simultaneously surprised there are that many and that few Cybertrucks out there.
