You will be able to ask the Roadster to perform any of the tricks shown autonomously, as it will be sentient.
Also, we will have a wild looping track (crazier even than Hot Wheels) at our Texas HQ where you can test out your Roadster.

I am trying to decide what it is about *Italian* immigrants that makes Sam Alito feel so passionately about honoring their experiences, but not the experiences of, to take one randomly selected example, immigrants from Haiti

All it takes for Alito to care about the denigration of the immigrant experience is the removal of an old Christopher Columbus statue from a city park.

According to independent journalist Jasper Nathaniel who was at the scene, the IDF provided cover for the “settlers” as they beat Palestinians and the WaPo journalist. The IDF also reportedly shot one of the Palestinians.

New statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar’s office on Trump admin’s efforts to deport her: “the truth is that Trump’s push to strip her of her citizenship and deport her has no basis in the law and has no precedent.”
“Trump has spread lie after lie about the Congresswoman in a desperate attempt to justify his extraordinary abuse of power. This is politically motivated and an escalation of Trump’s personal vendetta against her lasting over a decade. He has lied about her family, about her immigration history, and about her love of this country. But the truth is that Trump’s push to strip her of her citizenship and deport her has no basis in the law and has no precedent. This isn’t a legitimate law enforcement action – it is an authoritarian move to silence an opponent right before an election where he and his party will be rejected by Americans in historic proportions. To Trump, no American value or principle is too important to be shredded for his own personal gain.”

It's once again time for #Massachusetts' annual tradition of having the governor personally hand out awards to cops for killing people. www.lowellsun.com/2026/10/15/m...
Among those honored was Burlington Police Officer Aurise Miedico, who was “recognized for her courage in the face of an immediate threat to her life,” according to a press release from the governor’s office. Miedico and a fellow officer responded to a January 2022 911 call involving a man experiencing a mental health crisis and armed with a knife. After officers tried to create distance and used less-lethal force, Miedico fired her gun when the man charged at her, and he later died in the hospital. A year later, Miedico was cleared of wrongdoing in the shooting following a three-day inquest at Woburn District Court.

This guy sucks so much. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
The insinuations that El-Sayed is involved in terrorism because he's Muslim, ridiculous. Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country.

And the Bull Connor stuff -- and a lot of these candidates have real weaknesses. Like, Mike Collins, who's the Georgia Republican, I think what's accurate to say about him is, he has a disturbing number of young men on his -- around him who have ties to the alt-right and some of the vile antisemitic stuff online.
