At a Vanity Fair event tonight Elon musk will unveil “the D and something else”. What could it be? And

here it is!



  1. AdmFubar says:

    The “D” is the “Dvorak” the worlds first hand cranked electric car… “It’s cranky!”®

  2. Marc Perkel says:

    I’m hoping for “Dual Battery”

    • Tim says:

      I guess I missed it. What was it?? Otherwise, I’d be hoping it wasn’t “D-cell”.

      • Tim says:

        and now I see “and here it is!”

        All scripts allowed, adblock off — I’m staring at the *true vacuum* of ‘adjacent space’. You know, that’s the place that an iceskater wouldn’t even feel her arms pulled out when she ‘spins’ around, right????

  3. MikeN says:

    How about just describe the picture to us?

  4. Kerpow says:

    Ooh is it a new watch or maybe a solar powered smart phone? I bet its a watch.

    • Cap'n Kangaroo says:

      And then we can view the Apple lovers battle the Elon lovers over which is cooler and more hip.

      • Popeye says:

        i-stuff doesn’t have ‘hips’. They’re like Olive Oil that way:

        “”Skibbity do da bop… Slide on this, you skinny bitch..

        iBalls — The first socially acceptable gonads for your face.

  5. Tim says:

    …and something else”. What could it be?

    Calm down, Marc. I’m pretty sure it’s not his ‘penis’.

    • NewFormatSux says:

      That’s the ‘D’, it’s what Marc is hoping for. Just look at the picture he posted.

  6. MikeN says:

    Maybe it’s great, though I suspect it’s been tried before.

    However, Marc Perkel, watch the part about the dual motor again and tell us it doesn’t sound like BS, with lots of buzzwords. “Everything is better”

  7. Tim says:

    Umm… ok. I’m gay again (is that wrong?). Strip out all the spycrap and still a 155 mph Nyquist interval on the ultrasound?? Sounds a tad subpar, don’cha think??

    I also didn’t see regenerative/dynamic braking on this one. I *suppose* it could make the battery explode, or something.

  8. MikeN says:

    Is that Elon Musk talking in the video? Looks less like the guy in Iron Man 3 and more like Ricky Gervais.

  9. "Bits" are for DRILLING! says:

    I think it’s great that this guy is making electric cars, dabbling in the space program and doing whatever else he pops up in the news as doing. We can certainly use better cars! But there’s just something about Elon Musk that bugs me. Could it be his arrogance?

    Or is it possible that Mister Musk is hiding an even bigger secret like he’s an embezzler or pedophile or something? Because it seems like all those rich guys have something in their closet that they want to hide like that — even that underwear sniffing NSA dick sucking Facecrook founder Fuckerberg.

  10. MikeN says:

    Elon Musk I’m guessing won’t be on the space flight. Now he will probably make all the passengers sign waivers that he is not responsible for anything that happens to them on the flight. They will be test subjects for the next round, and Marc Perkel will probably defend this unregulated corporate behavior that wouldn’t be acceptable for any other type of transportation service. Perhaps Musk will give him a spot on the maiden flight as a guinea pig, to detect low oxygen levels. Sudden failure of an airlock and Perkel goes flying into space, and he will still be thinking it’s not Elon’s fault.

  11. jpfitz says:

    Man, lots of Musk haters, and poor Marc for trying to spread the news. I liked the promo Marc. 3.2 seconds to 60mph is very quick. My favorite car is the McLaren F1 even with it’s center seat configuration.

    • Captain Obvious says:

      A lot of people here hate successful people and companies.

      • jpfitz says:

        Jealously is contagious, barely a comment about the matter at hand.

        Switching from front and rear motor is a new innovation. All wheel drive sucks energy be it gas or batteries. I’m not a fan of front drive cars or all wheel. Good old 4×4 is useful for sand and snow.
        Being able to switch all energy to rear engine and reach 60mph in 3.2 sec would be a blast to drive.

        Hopefully this vehicle will not have all the new vehicle and lane avoidance bull. If you can’t drive a vehicle properly get on the bus.

  12. MikeN says:

    A dual motor?

    Reminds me of George Lopez,”Big Brother they put 12 people in one house— it’s been done.”
