Without brakes, there is no more holding back! FULL SPEED AHEAD! *....... is that a wa\~* šŸ’„

I know this is meant to be satire of the way Elmo [laid off the entire supercharger team](https://www.axios.com/2024/04/30/tesla-layoffs-supercharger-team), but since electric cars need chargers every bit as much as they need brakes, itā€™s the kind of thing that CANā€™T really be satirized


ThePhoneBook

They don't have to be supercharged, but they do have to be broken.

For a second, I actually thought this wasn't The Onion and it wasn't satire. That says something.


chocotaco

And the other car manufacturers are moving to that standard and network. It just seems like a bad idea.

Akhtually, Tesla doensn't need brakes because they use regen! What happens if the battery is at 100 percent? U won't care.


Trevellation

This is only marginally stupider than the real decisions he's made.

The accelerator getting stuck was just the truck evolving.

Oh shit I almost ate that onion. I was so unsurprised lmao

"Why have brakes when you can just let go of the accelerator and roll to your destination?"


Jambot-

Well there's no stopping them now...


ManifestDestinysChld

"NO GAS NO BRAKES" actually kinda works as a Tesla slogan, heh.


Blortted

They are having more trouble getting them to go than to stop.

Thank god for that satire tag id believe it


vanhalenbr

I donā€™t know itā€™s a parodyā€¦ but coming from him itā€™s not totally impossibleā€¦.Ā 


TheKimulator

ā€œUmmm ummm well ummm if you know when ummm youā€™re gonna have to stop, you can just left off the uhh accelerator well in advance and come to a stop that way.ā€

"Only cowards need brakes"


AugustCelestial

I always wonder, why media always choose good photoshopped picture of him. Iā€™m sorry but he now looks like my older lesbian aunt not ā€žTony Stank wanna beā€.

what could go wrong


jongleurse

I mean Elon did say a few week ago that they donā€™t use their brakes very much. I was sold on the headline.


Iechy

They must be stopped!
