On today’s completely predictable episode of Quick Charge, Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the weather looks like it’ll be too rough to show off his new “flying” Roadster 2.0 on October 1st, so he’s pushing the reveal back another two weeks – but after 9 years of moving goal posts and broken promises, what’s a few more weeks?
We’ve also got a review of the Tom Hanks classic The Money Pit, which may or may not be a reference to spending $250,000 on a car you’ve never driven, touched, or even seen – but which you might get to see in two weeks. Plus: the EU is delaying the vote to approve Full Self Driving (Supervised) until at least December, and y’all tell us who you think should be to blame when robotaxis crash into stuff.
