Who's of hands, who was surprised by this?

Edit: what the fuck did autocorrect mangle to come up with "who's of hands?"

I am happy you left it this way.

I recall now, I attempted to type "show of hands."

Autocorrect gore is fascinating, no?

What I don't get about Tesla is: when will they ever update their existing vehicles, like every other car company does? The Model S has been around for over ten years. Aren't they planning an S2? Or this all the RnD they have?

I had to check Wikipedia to be sure. OK, the S got updated motors or restyled taillights, but they're all externally indistinguishable for the non Tesla nerd. Look at how the Corvette and Mustang changed over the years, or the F-Series trucks. They went with the zeitgeist, and the S is still visually stuck in 2012.

Model 3 had a big refresh this year (2024).

Considering Elon's current politics, the successor of the model S will be the model SS.

You mean like VW and the Golf 2? Just because it's the same name, doesn't mean it's the same car.

He can drive tRump around in this crap

He probably literally can't, since it's basically just a big RC car on an extremely tightly controlled loop.
