20+ app updates on my Duo since my review already, and there’s a new section in the App Store for apps optimized for duo as preorders start to arrive. Developers are off to the races

"I had a lot of respect for him ... but being in there first hand, watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect for him."

32 years ago today, White Ranger made his debut in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Tommy Oliver (played by the late Jason David Frank) returned as the White Ranger.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Of all the things that will never happen. This will never happen the most.
Replying to @Scobleizer
True.
You will be able to ask the Roadster to perform any of the tricks shown autonomously, as it will be sentient.
Also, we will have a wild looping track (crazier even than Hot Wheels) at our Texas HQ where you can test out your Roadster.

A driverless car doing a mid-air flip from a standstill proves Tesla can build a stunt rig, not that this is a usable consumer vehicle. If passengers were actually inside, the forces and failure modes would require serious restraint systems that is closer to a roller-coaster harness than a normal seatbelt, and possibly head-and-neck protection too. That alone tells you this isn’t a realistic production feature.
This is classic Elon: create a physics-defying circus act to change the subject. Tesla is under pressure, especially from Chinese EV companies, so instead of answering for delays, margins, competition, and execution, he gives shareholders a flying-car magic trick. Impressive stunt? Sure. Serious production roadmap? Not even close.
Not to mention, this would never get approved for road use for obvious safety reasons. A car capable of launching itself into a mid-air somersault from a standstill isn’t a "feature," it’s a liability nightmare. Anyone treating this like a serious production capability instead of a controlled stunt is being painfully gullible. This is exactly how Elon operates: turn a safety and engineering absurdity into a viral magic trick so people stop talking about Tesla getting squeezed by real EV competitors.
I'm not an Elon hater.
I'm just telling you the Honest Truth:
This is a marketing stunt.
The technology is quite old.
Just nobody ever thought of bolting it on a car.
Because it's pointless.
Porsche or Ferrari could also build something like this if they wanted, but they don't, because it's not worth it for them.
It's worth it for Elon though, because his entire brand is all about having the halo of futurism.
His marketing scales especially well with tech gimmicks like this, which is why he is financially incentivised to do them, while others aren't.
Again, I'm not hating, but actually educating yall.
This is not engineering genius.
It's marketing genius.
