  4. Note tires have no tread, must have been doing burnouts and one ogt away from them. amazing they didn't bust in to flames.

    1. I doubt they can do burnouts. That looks like soft rubber to help make the things quiet, that's why the tires only last 10,000 miles.

    1. Because they're a total waste of resources and semi useless.

  11. Fake.

    Photoshop or AI mashup of prototype images. At a minimum door handles are wrong, mirrors are missing, proportions are wrong.

    It’s like claims of racism … there is so actually so little people have to make it up to have something to cry about.

  12. How do you determine if an image is ai generated

    1. Here are some of the tell-tale items for me: proportions are off, backgrounds don't match on either side a foreground element, hands and fingers are wrong are some of the clues. You also see elements like door hardware in impossible locations.

    2. In this image (IMO):
      - Rear windshield isn't deformed consistent with the broken out section
      - Rear frunk is undamaged but the front's rear end is destroyed
      - No deformation of doors or body panels on either truck.

    3. Because they're experts. Ask them, and they'll tell you. Some folk just love to show us all how smart and perceptive they are. Congrats, you pissed on the picture. Does it smell better to you now?

    4. You better get your bullshit detector calibrated and ready for the next year.... BS is BS, and just because there is a 'photo' out there doesn't mean the event happened the way it is reported (if the event even happened at all).

      At this point I don't trust ANY form of digital media without vetting. Not images, not video, and not voice recordings.

  13. It is difficult sometimes. little details that seem wrong or out of place.

    1. Just admit it, you have no idea what you're talking about. If you shout AI enough, you'll hit one sooner or later, then point at that for proof of your intelligence.

  15. the insurance co, will jack the rates on their next one and eventually re-coop their money

  16. Fake or not, there are more and more crashes of these being reported day by day. I get it that some people are really turned on by it but I think it is just Musk having a laugh at gullible people's expense - make the ugliest contraption you can and see how many people just have to have one.

  17. If there's ANY damage to the battery, the insurance company will declare it totaled. Neither they nor repair shops want the liability

  18. Are those some of those new "self-crashing" cars?
