Randy Pobst and the Plaid won the Exhibition Div. He actually came in 10th overall. 9th was a 1996 BMW M3. Not knocking the car but facts are just that. I’m actually surprised we haven’t seen one wrapped up in a ball yet. |

That Mustang is useless for anything other than turning money into smoke. Well theres always somebody ![]() https://youtu.be/ryQfnV3M3pk |

That's what I like about Elon, continuous improvement, sometimes free even on fishes already hooked. And delivers better than initially promised (except on those pesky production delays, lol). |

Every time I see this topic at the top, I get excited to think that my groceries are going to arrive via electric semi. Then I just see that it has nothing to due with vehicles that are late.

Unless you own Walmart, your groceries won't be delivered by semis. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most likely, drones or those smart carts like in that pizza commercial. That is, if you live long enough. ![]() |

If you are my dad (thank gawd), I'll be worried with possible Alzheimer, dementia or psychiatric denial for not remembering that Elon did come up with truly full electric car and there was no auto-pilot before. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
