@QuadratureSurfer @return2ozma I’ve always heard a Formula 1 car could drive upside down if it could get up to speed. I watched this a couple of times and have some questions about how it could have worked. But I also don’t really care enough to find out if this is more AI trickery or a car-shaped shell around some other kind of mechanism. Or whether he really did it. Nazi that he is.

@divVerent @return2ozma @QuadratureSurfer And Musk swears this will be on the road. Someday. And he always keeps his promises.

"“Every usable void in the car is packed with Carbon Fiber Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs),” Tesla wrote in a post on X, referring to the type of pressure vessel that has been at the root of multiple SpaceX rocket explosions.”

@dogslayeggs @jobbies Free press for the Nazi…it doesn’t amuse me. It’s like Jimmy Fallon tousling Trump’s hair.

@dogslayeggs No, my comment is that your silly bit of harmless entertainment is actually serving this Nazi quite well, both in free PR and in distracting from his fascism. The fact that it is frivolous only makes it a worse thing to go to the mat for.

@divVerent @return2ozma @QuadratureSurfer I hadn’t thought about the issues with fluid flow and such with an ICE.

This one apparently uses a fan for downforce (upforce in this case, I guess), like a recent car from another company and an idea that surfaced once in F1:

@QuadratureSurfer @return2ozma Ahhh…it’s a fan. Yay.
