The guy is actually eating a Snickers bar, so he’s “Snickering”

I just noticed there's no side view mirrors. I assume there's some kind of camera or something, but if they have to add them it kind of takes away from the whole look.

I believe the units Musk has demoed are pre-production mock-ups. The "strip-style" headlights are fake/not highway legal, the mirrors are missing (required) , and some other odds and ends prevent them from being street legal.

On the plus side, unless you add a 12' tall inflatable dildo* to the roof it's not gonna look a whole lot worse.

(This is NOT currently a factory option. Per Tesla, the entire car is meant to be an ersatz penis; the addition of a dildo would be redundant.)

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

I think the Hummer truck will come with a 15-foot tall inflatable dildo.

Nothing shouts "I have a tiny dick!" like a 1,000 HP Hummer, no matter how quiet the horses...

GM has a memory of a squirrel. I can't imagine how ass backwards their BOD is.

Dick: gee guys, we are losing market share and our quality still sucks. We need to do something.
Carl: how about we build a giant SUV and... revive our most hated brand associated with gigantic inefficient SUVs!?
Dick: give this man another $5,000,000 in stock bonus for this! Let's roll! Hummer, fuck yeah!

You DEFINITELY want to build an EV around a ridiculously heavy platform - or at least make people THINK you built an EV on a ridiculously heavy platform...

I imagine the fires will be impressive.
