The caps are not attached to reduce our carbon footprint but to reduce overall pollution. I don't like when people paint over such issues with a too-broad brush.

Also what idiocy did Me-me-me-lon come up with now?

    I like the caps being attached because it means you can't lose the cap. It didn't even occur to me that it might have to do with littering

    Never in my life have I actually lost a cap, but I have been splashed in the face multiple times by those idiotic attached caps.

    Me neither.

    That said, up until they changed it, those metal flaps for opening beverage cans were a serious problem, and I could imagine that many consumers are less considerate than me wrt plastic caps as well.

    It's just a small part of the ongoing enshittification of real life products, and this one's well-intentioned at least.

    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.

    No talking? All the new cars have Grok built in unfortunately. They do, in fact, talk.

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

    It is, in fact, not a car. It's a stunt vehicle that was disguised as a car.

    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.

    Yeah same with environmental protection and climate friendly. Of course they are connected but nuclear energy for example is climate friendly but still bad for the environment.
