One I didn't put in was Elon Musk, who Tweeted:








Tesla's share price dropped (another) 3% after that

I like the Tesla approach to April fools... hit close to home. I kinda wish the coin slot were a thing. Not necessarily to start the car, but to auto-organize loose change in an accessible container somewhere.

Damn, he even went with the full "I've Fallen on hard times" facial hair. Nice touch 👍

I thought that red car in the image was a Tesla for some reason.

Also, the Mission E Tractor should happen for real.

 

[Danoff]

Tesla providing a car to be launched into space is real and Tesla going bankrupt is an april fools joke. There has to be a soviet russia meme here somewhere.

The E-Mission Porsche tractor could become a world wide succes amongst ................ petrol heads.

Petrol Head: "Hey, I bought a Porsche".
Friend: "Really"?
Petrol Head: "Yep and it's fully electric"
Friend: "No way".
Petrol Head: "It has 700hp, it's a convertible, single seater off-roader".
Friend: "Oh man ........... ".




The Sköda noise cancellation tech is the best in my opinion. It is something customers (large families with loud children) could become excited about and it doesn't come across as a lame joke.
