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 don’t think it’s a stock pump, just a marketing exercise. The potential revenue from selling a tiny number of these is not going to affect Tesla’s revenue by anything significant.

Tesla's revenue is completely divorced from the stock valuation. They rely on constant hype stunts like this to keep the stock inflated.

Yes, but that is irrelevant to the point.
