thewayneGuy in a CT wants to apparently perform "reverse doughnuts" in front of a crowd. And succeeds in backing into a crowd of people at speed, knocking them about. Apparently no one was injured.
Just another form of ritual idiocy. The article has a video of the incident.

Guy parks on an incline, gets out of his truck and scrapes his leg against the bottom corner of the door. And gashes his leg badly enough to possibly need stitches.
The article quotes from the owners manual the various ways the truck can injure you and how you should handle it.

Guy goes to a dealership to pick up his newly delivered CT (note that these are all different guys, not one guy with horrible luck and taste). He notices an irregularity on the tailgate, goes to wipe it to see if it's wipeable, and cuts himself in a geyser fashion.
The Tesla salesmen are able to patch him up without needing to invoke emergency services. He takes delivery of said truck, goes home, and thinks that 'surely enough time has passed for the wound to have closed.' Well, that's what ya get for thinking. Removes the bandage and geyser resumes erupting. Ends up at ER.

And finally, the presumptive Republican nominee for President publicly stated that he would stop all electric vehicle sales if he returns to office.
In 2016, when he was first elected to office, approximately 160,000 EVs were sold. That number is expected to exceed ten times that in 2024 and to continue to grow. Hyundai just invested $13 billion in EV production in Georgia. The head of Ford said that they do their projections in much longer time frames than presidential election cycles. Regardless, statements like this could easily cost him more votes in the south where EV production is growing than he might think it would gain him in his base.
