It was on german news yesterday, nobody said AI, but even if its real: A quick stunt is one thing but you won't even be able to do this a few times in a row without a refill.

It's a purpose built stunt car that weighs a tiny fraction of a real car. No one will ever drive that car outside of a stunt track. They're using the same tricks as energy drink companies to artificially pump the stock price in spite of the fact that Tesla revenue is flat.

I knew a ton of people who worked in Lights Motors Action in Disney and got to go behind the scenes and see those stunt cars. They all look normal from the outside, but on the inside every single one of them was completely gutted outside of the specific adjustments made for each stunt.

What we saw was doable by a purpose built stunt cars but no way in hell by an actual consumer grade car with entertainment systems and ass warmers.

fun note on those specific cars - a few of them were built "backwards" internally as im sure you saw. they would do all their stunts in "reverse" in the show. but in reality the cockpit / "car" were just installed backwards inside the body. tripped me out as a kid
