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.
