Did you talk to him about the electric car?
Because I know you've been wanting to get an electric car.
Oh, the electric car.
No, I mean, no, the Tesla.
It's super expensive, though, no?
I don't know.
We?
Super expensive.
No?
Well, there's two Teslas.
Elon Musk.
The S-Type that has one electric motor, and that moves the rear wheels like the
old days.
And then they have the new one.
I forget what it's called, but that has two motors.
One for the front and one for the back.
And what's amazing about electric power, from what I've been looking, is that
the torque is instantaneous.
However you say it.
Like 691 pounds of torque at zero RPMs.
Like, immediately.
I think that's why it can't have a transmission, because it would rip the
fucking gears right out of it.
But then I don't understand how it—I've never seen the inner workings of it.
So how does it turn the wheels and not fucking, you know, rip those things to
shreds?
When I was looking on the website, they have all these diagrams and videos and
stuff that it's like.
Oh, I got to look at it.
It's amazing.
And you can, at this point, you can drive across the country.
With the one that has two motors, because you're going to drive it like a
maniac, you get like 150 miles before you got to, you know, recharge it.
And then the S1, you get like 200-something or whatever.
But all I know is, you know, the average person, you know, you're not going on
a fucking road trip.
I mean, 150 miles for a lot of people is like three, four days of work.
You come home every day, you charge it like a cell phone, and then you never
have to go to a gas station again.
And right now, the golden age of electric cars, the recharging is free.
You know, eventually that's not going to be free.
The only issue I had, though, when I was looking at the website, they have a
map, because you can put in your zip code, and it'll tell you where all the
charge stations are.
And, like, they're all at hotels, and it's like they're for hotel guests only.
Like, there's one at the W.
No, but if you get the car, you'll have one at your house, too.
Oh, right.
Well, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Don't you see the people down the street with their thing plugged in?
And they have them at the mall, like all the malls and everything like that.
They've got them everywhere.
So I don't think it's impractical.
No, not at all.
It's a nice car.
Evidently, they're popping up like, they're multiplying.
But everybody I know that has one, everybody that doesn't have one is nervous
about getting one.
Like, oh, my God, what if it just shuts off?
I'm like, fuck it.
But everybody I know that has one says they fucking ear-to-ear grin.
Who has one that you know?
I want to ride in one.
I want to see what it's like.
A bunny mind that plays drums has one.
Another bunny mind, a comedian, has one.
Okay.
I'm not going to say it.
I'll tell you afterwards.
Okay.
I've driven one.
I just drove the one that has the motor in the back.
It was the fastest fucking car I ever drove.
It was sick.
That's cool.
You just step on it and it's just into the seat, flying.
It's amazing.
The only thing I didn't like, though, is the center console on the dashboard.
It's like this-
It's this huge iPad.
Yeah, super-sized iPad.
I feel like it would be really distracting.
I would want a shade to pull down over it.
And it's like, you can go online.
It's like, but why do you need to be doing that when you're driving?
If anything, you use it for the radio and to navigate yourself.
Well, they're constantly sending you out.
Like, you get in the car and they just beam you updates.
Yeah.
And your car is updated.
That's distracting.
That's not-
No, no, no.
You get there and it's just updating.
Like, oh, this is cool.
Oh, okay.
Do you know they have a thing where the new, you know, all the new cars, the
suspension,
like the Corvettes and stuff, you can have like, you know, regular suspension,
sports suspension,
super sport, whatever the fuck you want to call it.
They have the sports suspension and then their next one is just called insane.
It's kind of stupid, but I actually kind of like it.
Okay.
