I remember back when elon bragged how save they are and how they smashed the safety tests (american, not real ones) and i though wow interesting and looked at the tests. And literally every test they smashed was because the car is super bottom heavy because that's where the battery is. You could weld some railroads under every car and they would do just as well. I even remember thinking: oh he's gonna get roasted once people realise that. Still waiting
"It broke the test equipment" is not NEARLY the clapback Elon thinks it is. That's actually really bad, and probably demonstrates the lethality of the vehicle (it's just too heavy)
Also I love your username, show me the lie
