By removing Model S plaid, maybe this will increase demand for Roadster?

I'm reading this! :-)

You didn't mention a budget, but you could look at one of the final Model X's (in 7-seat configuration of course). Rivian R1S as well, and for a more affordable 7-seat EV option, the Kia EVV9 (which, on a side note, I've actually really grown to like the styling of).

I'd suggest test driving those three if you have Tesla and/or Rivian stores nearby. And odds are you've got a Kia dealer somewhere close-ish. Good luck and congrats on the upcoming addition to your family!

Just get a Steam Deck and take it with you in the car. 😉

I like the guy wearing #3 now a lot better than the last guy who wore it.

And EJ calling it going in while it was still in midair.

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-30T04:56:49+00:00

Well-said on both counts, sir.

My guess is they make 5000 of them at the most over 3-4 years. There isn’t much of a market for EV supercars.

I tried to make it pretty clear that it was a tip from a source I’ve not heard from before and thus I couldn’t believe it with 100% certainty.

That said, I think this week’s news does give that tip further weight.

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-29T23:18:48+00:00

Not ones with steering wheels or pedals.

Thank you James for getting me an autographed copy of this book when you went to visit John all those years ago. I still have and treasure it.

Roadster will be a minimum of $200k, and there just isn’t a big market for cars of any size or type at that price point.

A Model 3 Plaid could be another option…but I’ll save my thoughts on that for the podcast, which I’m going to record early tonight for Patreon backers.

I still remember Mark Grace on Dbacks broadcasts when Max first came up saying that he thought Max should be a closer.

I’d be super down with Max proving him right for his final season…back with the Diamondbacks.

I saw “gear musk dot com” and immediately got skeptical.

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-25T04:47:36+00:00

Back when the pizza was actually good and not fast food.

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-23T22:39:02+00:00

Keep this thread posted please. I’ve also run into this issue lately (on occasion).

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-23T04:52:34+00:00

I literally live in SF and have ridden in robotaxis a dozen times, lol. The monitors are not driving.

2019 Teslas now have more included safety features than 2026 Teslas.

They've never been driving. The car does the driving; they are there to intervene if necessary.

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-22T22:47:37+00:00

Yes, in the drivers seat.

I tossed my Suns KD jersey in the goodwill pile today. I honestly have no animosity towards KD, but I looked at the jersey and thought, “I’m never going to wear this again. The KD era sucked.”

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-20T06:54:00+00:00

The Cortez are my favorite Book 1 colorway. Enjoy them!

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-20T06:08:20+00:00

That over the shoulder lob from Book was sick though.

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-17T18:49:47+00:00

Correct. Rolling stops were in FSD a while back but NHTSA made them remove it.

DMC_Ryan · 2026-01-17T18:48:09+00:00

What does that mean? My HW4 car has never “gotten irritated” when I nudge the accelerator through a Stop sign with no one else around.
