You should not insert a PC mentality to all facets of life. This is the kind of ballistic logic that the left uses all the time, distorting facts that causes the division between large groups of people.
It was funny and whoever made the video stumbled upon a gem. In fact, I think it would make an unusual and excellent ad for Tesla, driving the idea home that Teslas don't need
refilling.
The fact that she laughed herself when informed proves it was not a big deal as some tries to make it so.
Other than that, I stand by the video contents.
It should be obvious to anyone reading commentary from Ayn Rand fans and not reading Ayn Rand that Objectivism is all about viewing people as groups carrying out political machinations to make other groups look bad. By that standard this is a true gem.
- Can be worked into existing group stereotypes
- Involves laughing at people
- Might possibly upset someone
Generating outrage and problems shows your independence, while producing things others enjoy and want to buy is weakness.
It's Ayn Rand in the "mirror universe" where Spock has a beard.
Women in general vote for leftist things for some emotional reason, so I would rather if they would NOT vote actually.
By the way, women seem to love showing how stupid men are, so this is just payback.
I know, I'm badddddddddd...........
That was funny, Carl. Thanks.
Seriously, though. Anyone who buys or drives a vehicle should know how to operate the vehicle - including basic functions like refilling oil, gas (where needed of course), washer fluid, etc.
Not to mention that when the batteries are empty, you arent going anywhere at all most likely until you get the car towed to a relatively rare charging station. Same thing with a gas car, but there are a LOT of gas stations and you can bring back a supply in a plastic gas can. Cant do that with electricity. Also, it takes awhile to recharge, compared with a minute of so to restart a starved engine.
I agree on the need to know basic things about what you are driving.
TESLA signed up a guy to do a demo on the pleasures of driving a Tesla and he was supposed to take a planned route with recharging stations.
But the guy deviated from the course for some reason and he depleted the battery at a spot with no recharging opportunity.
The entire exercise ended up in a bruhaha a red face for Tesla.
I'd accept that, however once it becomes more popular (if it does), then the "free" will go away, of course.
I prefer a hybrid, though no part of it will accept outside charging.
Sometimes people just don't think. I thought it was cute, especially her obvious willingness to scout around the car and figure it out, to the hilarity of many. (I kind of wonder, though, what she saw on the dashboard that made her think she needed gasoline?)
Sometimes things are just funny. There's no need to be all PC about it.
Same here. It was my first thought.
Apparently there was still juice in the battery, otherwise she would not have been able to drive away.
It is an enigma what may have happened there.
As I was watching her saga, I was rooting as to what she may do next? Of course the "dumb blond" analogy comes to everyone's mind, the way she was exhibiting total cluelessness. Obviously she did not own the car. Was it a friend's car? He/she must have told her what it was. Could not have been rental: you get instructions there and I don't know if you can rent Teslas.
Did you see "Titanic"? Remember the scene after Rose is rescued from the outer rail trying to jump, by an officer who states: "Women and machinery don't mix".
Well, I am not a chauvinist pig but sometimes that statement must be true.
If so, she put in a good performance.
Probably her soon to be exsomething.
The blonde gal really put the icing on the cake.
Would you go through the motions as she did, if it was a real thing not staged?
There is no one that stupid to do what she has done.
You need to have the breaks activated in order to start the car, but that's about the only "new" thing drastically different from traditional ignition and you get into it after the first start.
I still can't fathom what was the scenario with this woman. Nobody can be as dense as she was demonstrating, and that's why I thought the scene was staged.
She takes pride in all that she does including her appearance. Ocasio Cortez is totally ignorant and not even close to blond she is a brunette so is Rosie O’Donnell and Nancy Pelosi and Joy Behar and on and on.
In fact Ben Carson who is a brain surgeon has stated that all the brains he has seen are gray. If hair color was a factor for intelligence than barbers would be
akin to brain surgeons.
There is no proven relationship between hair color (natural or not) and intelligence.
What relationship, if any, is there between intelligence and the desire to look differently than is one's natural appearance? Is there any relationship between intelligence and the susceptibility to being convinced by mass media that ones natural hair color is unacceptable or less attractive than blonde?
Is there any relationship between intelligence and the susceptibility to being convinced by mass media that a fast sports car makes one more attractive than a sedan? Is there any relationship between intelligence and the susceptibility to being convinced by mass media that smoking makes one more attractive than not smoking?
Monty Python put on twit sketches. They also liked to dress up like ugly silly women, but maybe too many blondes would find a Monty Python dumb blonde skit offensive.
Me dino now thinks of just watching a dumb blonde in real life that would other blondes blush.
The motor of a car had been removed. The car was pushed up to the browser. Help was sought as it it did not start.
The mechanic looked twice or more everywhere back front inside and under. The driver said I don't know much about cars, The mechanic was methodical but his face said he did not know whether to smile laugh or scream.
That blonde would have been on Candid Camera for sure.
