If your goal is to be seen, you drive faster, so that you encounter more people.

that wouldn't make sense on our street--very small residential area, going fast in an EV just means fewer will hear you or chance to and look up from whatever they are doing, higher chance they will see you if you roll at 15mph.

Case in point, I was in the garage, and had just turned toward the street. I immediately stepped out on the driveway to watch him go up the street. If he'd gone by at 40mph, I'd have not even seen him.

It looks worse IRL than it does in pics........and I actually put a deposit down. Why not I said. Not sure I could drive one of these.

saw one today for the first time while on a ride, man it is uglier in person than the videos show.

besides that, i do get a chuckle watching youtube videos that show it just walking from big buck supercars. very, very impressive launch and all the way thru the quarter mile.

saw a video on youtube about how it is manufactured, and that in & of itself is fascinating. serious engineering and design as well as manufacturing process. pretty darned amazing, and all made stateside.

This guy tested just how bulletproof his new cybertruck was:

Does Elon offer a "Target Practice Paint or Power Coat" finish option?

Looks to me more like an infomercial for a wallet that wouldn't last more than 2 seconds in my pocket.
