    He built a wannabe K.I.T.T., I mean the jumping, no talking luckily. Also as fake as K.I.T.T. Its only purpose was to push the stock, like always and to do anything but a compact, cost efficient EV for the masses.

        I doubt that flying thing had much inside other than what was strictly required for that stunt.

            Yeah, and I’m sure the production model in 2028 (or much, much later, knowing Elon), will be a slimmed down shadow of this thing. I’d feel bad for the sorry saps that fall for it, but they’ve clearly learned nothing over the past decade.

        Now I seriously wonder what voice it talks in. Just the standard, bland stuff?
        Or like Hal 9000 maybe? I’m not sure the K.I.T.T.s voice was all that memorable.
        I hate to admit it, but I think I would actually like some very Elony choices. Unless he’s removed all vestiges of being a hapless nerd and only thinks in ragebait nazi anymore.

        Not that I ever wanted one of his, or in fact any talking car.

      Have you looked at the price of a model 3 lately? They’re about the price of a moderately equipped Civic… You’re not wrong about the stock thing though

        In Europe the model 3 costs double if what an entry level EVs cost. Sure, they have less range and stuff but that’s what I was talking about, some affordable entry level car that delivers the basics and not more.
