[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16622551, member: 116684"] "Now I remember back driving my first electric car. I was with Henry Ford. I had an onion tied around my belt, as was the style at the time. It was a horse carriage they had rigged up with lead acid batteries. Had to carry the acid in with buckets and pour it really slow, you know? You couldn't just go down to Home Depot or even the acid store. You had to know a guy. We called him the acid man. We'd say 'hey, acid man!' …and I say to Henry, I says, 'Henry, you know you got folks all mixed up with this model T business. Why start there? Why in the middle of the alphabet? You ought to start at A! Your next car should be a model A!' …That was the same discussion I had with Elon. I said Musky, what's with the model names?" [i]120 rambling minutes later...[/i] "...and that is why everyone needs to drive an electric car!" In retrospect, slapping an "SS" trim on a Cobalt seems like a terrible idea, but damn if that car wasn't fast. But if we want to talk stupid names, what's with the "Go Over Any Terrain/G.O.A.T mode" with the Bronco? What stupid pandering crap is this? Are they going to rename the launch feature "YEET mode?" Or the driver distraction minder "Woke meter?" [/QUOTE]
