      I guarantee the actual thought process is “Musk supports Trump, and you should also be supporting Trump, so support Musk even more by deepthroating the upsell.”

    Every time I see one of these trying to find a parking space at the grocery store I feel vicarious shame for the driver. Truly, the scarlet letter of the 21st Century.

    “the mission” being what, exactly? make a rich jerkoff richer, so he can lie to you about exciting inventions that never come to light?

    “I’m leaving, Jeremy.”

    “OK but before you go can you take one more picture of me with the Tesla® Cybertruck™? I don’t think I looked sad enough in the last one about all those dollars that people aren’t giving to Elon.”

    Rereads Tesla’s mission statement.

    “Accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”

    Stares at 3 ton lump of stainless steel parked in driveway.

      As a machinist and welder, I would strongly prefer an actual 6000 lb lump of stainless over a cybertruck. I can actually use stainless steel to make things.

        I’ve never worked with stainless, but I hear that it’s a pain in the ass. And then, if you have no coating on it, it still stains from touching all sorts of shit.

          It’s called stainLESS, not stainFREE. The Delorean came with instructions on how to clean it so it didn’t rust.

            It depends on the grade of stainless actually. I’ve never run into “proprietary 30X stainless” but I have plenty of experience with 304, 308, 309, and 316. 309 can rust on you, but I’ve never seen 316 rust outside of ludicrously corrosive environments.

            I have what’s known in the industry as “magic piss fingers”. What that means is that I am a salty, sweaty man who can rust just about anything rustable simply by touching it with my bare hand. That being said, I haven’t managed to get a single speck of rust on my welded 316 hammer in 12 years of using it.

                Nickel. It provides both corrosion resistance and increased ductility which makes the material more likely to bend before breaking. I like using it to weld onto busted taps to try to back them out because the weld will flex a little bit instead of just snapping off.

      Owned by a man that is trying to elect Donald Trump, who is famously opposed to renewable energy.
