Jiří Coufal stated that when leaving the ramp, an active element was likely embedded in the floor of the Tesla Roadster. He believed it could be part of the "sucker" system, which he thought was supported by the cloud of dust behind the car. Although the underside footage of the floor appeared exposed and no such element was visible, Coufal judged that the car could have some mechanism of this type. He was disappointed that less attention was paid to his explanation than to the active wing, and hoped that further information about its operation would emerge in the following days. #Tesla #Roadster #automobilismus (translated)

Flipse wrote that in his view, the Netherlands had been built up over more than 80 years, but especially under Rutte, from 2010 to the present, had been rigorously and swiftly dismantled. He claimed that the country had been governed by political delinquents for decades and described the current government as low and cowardly. According to Flipse, the people and the country were also in a bad state, and he reiterated that the situation was reminiscent of the disaster year of 1672. #Rampjaar1672 https://t.co/dtrdkLDqFz #Nederland #politiek #Rutte (translated)

Paulo Figueiredo said that the publication was just a preview of what would be released that day. He made a disparaging comparison with references called “Ukrainian” and “Astronaut,” claimed that there was much more material, and said he did not know why the press did not want to publish it. https://t.co/eKgEp8UmgE #Teaser #Novidade #Imprensa (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote that Rob Jetten's call for all possible support for Ukraine amounted, in his view, to prolonging a war of attrition. He argued that the front line barely moved, that the Russian economy had adapted, and that Western munitions stocks and political support were finite. According to Sassen, diplomatic solutions were wrongly dismissed as a sign of weakness. Sassen referred to Ukrainian estimates of more than 1.5 million Russian dead and wounded and to Western analyses, including those from CSIS, which he claimed spoke of hundreds of thousands of casualties and over one hundred thousand deaths in Ukraine. He argued that the war constituted a demographic disaster for both countries and that further pressure from sanctions and weapons would result in more casualties. Negotiations, according to Sassen, were not capitulation but the way to end the war. He claimed that a full Ukrainian recapture of the borders of 1991 was militarily unrealistic without direct NATO intervention, risking a war with Russia. He advocated for territorial compromises, likely along the current front line, security guarantees for the remaining Ukraine, and an end to mobilization. He noted that Ukrainian men were forcibly taken off the streets in this process. Sassen acknowledged that such compromises would feel unjust and could reward aggression, but argued that they were better than continuing the current bloodshed. He accused Jetten and like-minded individuals of blocking serious diplomacy and urged the Prime Minister to immediately pursue a diplomatic solution. #Oorlog #Diplomatie #Vrede (translated)

HWL wrote that he had been very impressed by a Tesla Roadster that, according to him, drove up and down a ramp, shot into the air, rotated correctly, and landed softly. He described the event as one of the most astonishing in the automotive and technology world and wrote that it made him feel that the future was already here. At the same time, HWL criticized TV4's coverage and argued that the channel's motor editor lacked enthusiasm and vision. He described the reaction as marked by Swedish envy and asked why Swedish media had such a hard time celebrating when Elon Musk did something impressive. #Tesla #ElonMusk #Framtiden (translated)

The author wrote that Elon Musk presented the Tesla Roadster, which launched from the ramp, spun in the air, and landed safely. He stated that the car was created in collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX, and described the show as one of the most amazing things he had ever seen. He also mentioned that the company’s design language had evolved since the last presentation—from the S3XY series to the Cybertruck, Cyberquad, and Optimus—and that the inspiration for the Roadster came from the SR-71 and F-35 aircraft. #Tesla #ElonMusk #Roadster (translated)

Daniel wrote that Tesla unveiled a new Roadster, which during the presentation was supposed to take off from a ramp using cold gas engines, fly over other cars, spin in the air, and land. According to his account, during the presentation, acceleration from 0 to 60 mph was shown to take 0.81 seconds, and later Tesla published data indicating that the Rocket version is expected to achieve this in less than 0.59 seconds. Daniel stated that the Roadster is to be offered in three configurations: a two-seater Performance, a two-seater Thrust with additional cold gas engines at the rear, and a one-seater Rocket, whose engines are supposed to enable upward movement and aerial rotation. According to Daniel, acceleration to 60 mph is expected to be less than 1.6 seconds for the Performance and less than 0.9 seconds for the Thrust. He also mentioned that the car would have a range exceeding 300 miles, and the Rocket would reach a top speed of over 230 mph. Daniel also described active aerodynamics, a system for sucking the car to the surface, steer-by-wire control, and a construction using magnesium, titanium, and carbon fiber. He wrote that Tesla showed how the downforce system allowed the car to stay on its wheels even while stationary, and the cold gas engines were supposed to stabilize it during flight. The design of the Roadster was said to be inspired by SR-71 and F-35 airplanes. According to Daniel, the Performance is to be road-legal, the Thrust will be produced in a limited series, and the Rocket will be available by invitation only and will not be allowed on public roads. He wrote that reservations in Poland have already started: the initial payment is to be 22,000 PLN, and another 190,000 PLN must be paid within 10 days. The first payment is refundable until the remaining amount is paid. Daniel stated that production is scheduled to start in 2028, and Elon Musk referred to the Roadster as a "rocket car." #Tesla #Roadster #innowacje (translated)

BlogWyatt wrote that Russia believed it had at least a short-term advantage over the West, trusted its military strength and had the political will to use its capabilities against Western countries, which it viewed as weak, divided, corrupt and risk-averse. BlogWyatt added that Russians believed they did not need an off-ramp, but that the West did. #Russia #West #Politics #RU #US

The author said they had met in Tallinn with Paweł Kowal, chair of the Polish Sejm’s Foreign Affairs Committee. They wrote that they discussed regional security challenges, increasing pressure on Russia and preparations for the 2027 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Tallinn. https://t.co/V20OoZM0as #Poland #Ukraine #Security #PL #RU #UA

Eric Larchevêque wrote that the new Tesla Roadster was set to be unveiled the next day at an event he anticipated would be spectacular. He reported that Tesla had indicated that the demonstration could only take place outdoors, and that Elon Musk had promised an "unforgettable" event, with witnesses on site to attest that the images broadcast were not generated by artificial intelligence. Larchevêque mentioned a rumor that the vehicle could take off thanks to a collaboration with SpaceX and cold gas thrusters. He suggested that these could allow for acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in less than a second and, potentially, levitate the car. He also reported that Musk had described the technology as more spectacular than that of all the James Bond cars combined. Citing The Information, Larchevêque added that Tesla had prepared a demonstration with a remote-controlled Roadster that would use a magnetic ramp, drive backward, then right itself and remain suspended in the air. He concluded by saying that he was looking forward to attending the event. #Tesla #Roadster #Innovation (translated)

Dr. Jan van de Beek asked his followers to read something and stated that through asylum migration, many people with very low education were continuously being welcomed. According to him, this constituted a disaster for the welfare state and a recipe for social discontent. #asielmigratie #verzorgingsstaat #maatschappelijkeonvrede (translated)
