lol, Tesla is just a botched lobotomy in the bathroom of a podunk gas station in BFE performed by son dude name Salvador.

Max Max mode requires a blown V8.

Elmo thinks Immortan Joe had the right idea.

Good thing Tesla isn’t a car company.

Brilliant move naming it something that will get regulatory attention. 12 year old Musk can't help himself.

Musk fired all regulators and prosecutors looking into him, when he bought the USA, didn 't he?

He sure tried to and managed to suppress some of it. But as long as NHTSA still exists, they'll always be after him for the ongoing safety risks.

This is exactly the investigation Tesla needs in order to save the share price well into next year, so the name "Mad Max" was not a "stupid oversight" but full intention! Musk knows very well that car production would justify a maximum share price of around $10 (P/E ratio 5). The future perspective consists of Optimus and Robotaxis, which fanboys make a P/E ratio of 300. Now car sales are going down faster than Optimus and robotaxis are going up. If you observe the reviews of FSD 14 you can see 3 things: 1. FSD is interesting for people with an affinity for technology but with little talent. 2. It is far (years) away from functioning as robotaxi software. 3. It should never have been published like this. The publication is purely due to the expectations of the shareholders and the share price. So if car sales go down, Optimus doesn't dance well and robotaxis are a long time coming, the stock will go down. Now fElon needs an argument to explain to his disciples that once again only the authorities, here the NHTSA, are to blame for the robotaxis not being launched on time. fElon is desperate...!

Dude it’s by like 10-15 mph too. Insane. And the shitty thing is, they took away adjusting the actual speed, both directions on the wheel just cycle through the 5 options. So if your muscle memory is to scroll up to what used to be 5 over, guess what. Your ass is getting a ticket.

Musk won't be riding eternal, shiny and chrome
