Doug Demuro on the Tesla Roadster: xitter.cf/matthewdr/status/21136…
Surprise: @DougDeMuro is not over the Tesla Roadster: - “that was the coolest automotive product launch in history.” - “I think it’s cool.” - On @elonmusk’s politics: “You know what hit me about Elon during this? Like, he's got a flying car. And I think that Elon was really cool right up until he involved himself in American politics. Like, what a stain. Like, he's sitting there revealing this. Imagine if this was still, like, the Elon from eight years ago, where it was just, he's created a car company and he's going to space and, like, that was cool, Elon.” Doug’s cohost is very negative about the Roadster, Tesla and Elon. But Doug has a measured take.

🏎️ 2 weeks until the @Tesla Roadster launch and @DougDeMuro says he’s “over it.” Let’s see how that ages…

Holy shit! Elon said the SpaceX’s compute buildout and related plans point to ARR “somewhere between $500 billion and $1 trillion” by year-end 2027.

Four year anniversary of buying my Tesla Model Y AWD during peak demand. How much did I pay? Closest guess (including T+L) gets $4.20 in X Money.

Okay so is @JeffBezos going to equip James Bond with a Tesla Roadster? He doesn’t need the Aston Martin product placement money 🧐

If Robotaxi eats Waymo’s lunch in Austin then Google might try to outbid SpaceX and acquire Tesla…
I spoke with a nice UK couple at our hotel yesterday about AVs. They’d only heard of Waymo and taken a few rides before. They asked about all the gold cars around town and were shocked by how many they saw. I explained how @TeslaSI powers those gold cabs—an unmatched mind blowing experience. I suggested they try one when they go out to dinner and showed them the app, saying they wouldn’t want to ride in any other AV again. Today at the pool I saw them again and they said to me they took a CyberCab out to dinner! They said it felt like science fiction, and they FaceTimed friends back home while in the cab. He told me he now sees how this will change the world and Waymo won’t be able to survive as more people experience CyberCab for themselves. I can’t say I disagree.

To be clear, I don’t think Tesla joining Google would be a better fit or the preferred outcome. But as a Tesla shareholder, my goal is to receive the greatest return on investment. If this is not your goal, you are not investor, you are a fan. There’s nothing wrong with that, but you will have a different priority. If Tesla is going to be acquired, I want multiple bitters. Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Nvidia would all be welcome bidders to drive the price up.

Our friends @DougDeMuro and the @carsandbids pod hosts discuss Tesla’s new Supercharger emergency breakaway feature. Never missing a chance to trash Tesla, here are their thoughts: •"Tesla drivers are the least detail-oriented humans on the planet." •"The average Model Y person has ran over someone without realizing. They accidentally committed hit and run.” •"So Nick, don't get a Tesla. You have to do the calculus of do I want to get shot and hope my health insurance covers it or do I want to drive away and hope I can afford the repair bill? Got to pay Uncle Elon."
The totally unbiased @DougDeMuro happened to go on @X for the first time in 1.5 years and saw our discussion on his Tesla Roadster predictions. His response: - X is a shadow of its former self and the opposite of free speech or discourse at all. - much of our discussion is driven by bots - “if it flys, I’ll eat my shorts” - “it’s never going to come to market, we’re just going to make promises about what the future will hold.” - “Remember with the @Cybertruck where they promised it would get FSD, but you had to get it without it and then they'll update it later. Then it like never came for people” @carsandbids

My favorite part is when they say the Jaguar will be like a Rolls Royce on the inside with full self driving. I cannot tell if they’re being serious or sarcastic.
