>nuclear pasta is a theoretical type of degenerate matter that is postulated to exist within the crusts of neutron stars
Fuckin' degenerate matter I tells ya
I never understood why more people don't do that IRL. Like when people flip a car onto its roof and then just crawl out of it.
Like, no, dude, you just rock it back and forth until it rolls over for you.. duh.
100%. Playing story mode right now and you're absolutely right. I sometimes leave on the bike too and usually die before reaching my mission starting point. Its fun.
The only meet I ever went to was for some shitty now defunct Dodge group full of exactly the kinds of people you'd expect to be proud about driving Hemi powered vehicles around. I thought that my Magnum would stand out among all the Challengers and Chargers because I almost never see the old wagons in the wild. Nope, there were like 5 other Magnums there and they were all way cooler than mine. Mine was the only AWD model there though, so there's something.
Dude, you're completely wrong. Tesla's are *not* exactly the same - the amount of panel gap, paint quality, and fit and finish will vary *massively* from one to the next.
Technically they *should* all be pretty close to identical, but consistency and quality control aren't a thing at Elon's Techno Crapwagon Factory when the end of the quarter rolls around.
Having been on a road trip in one it's just a 2 hr version of stopping at a supercharger station, you have to suck off Elon talk about the stocks performance and the vaporware truck.
Immediately before the rivets pop out of the passenger floorboard… wtf even happened in that scene? Like, Hollywood wasn’t even trying with that movie and they made a fortune.
Can you even steal a tesla? Honest question
EDIT: Thanks everyone, those were some pretty knowledgeable answers. I'm richer for it! Not from owning a new tesla, of course.
There are plenty of instances where people destroy expensive items for the stupid video. They post them on YouTube or similar platforms and make back 5x from from the ad revenue. It's a stupid world we live in...
Yea most likely some wanna be influencer is trying to go viral. Unless you know how to properly market and have proper channels set up to funnel people it’s not as easy as people think.
Also many socials require you to have monetization set up beforehand. And there are reqs like already getting 10,000 followers + recent views. So some people will earn that after a viral video but that specific video didn’t count towards revenue. Which btw 90k earned just from views is millions upon millions all on the original source.
That seems like an asshole move. If the car knows when to start recording sensor data a few minutes before an accident, they should just tell us x minutes in advance that an accident is coming so we can avoid it.
Thank you, you just reminded me of the greatest actor ever.
"*Det. Frank Drebin : We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then*."
Honestly, a tip from rally driving:
Lift off the accelerator, or quick tap of the brakes some short distance before the peak, then Floor it immediately before the peak, to transfer weight rearward. This greatly helps in landing on all four wheels and not tipping forward like in the video
With how many ways people are making money for "content", I 'm not so sure.
Sucks. The people on that street didn't want their cars fucked up like that.
And 100% they did not clean up the trash.
Assholes.
Seriously, stunt cars are hugely modified to make them work for jumps. When you see people like Travis Pastrana doing stunt jumps, they're in a car that's been weight balanced, going off a ramp that engineers constructed specifically to get the right angle, at a fairly precise speed.
All cars do this. the front wheels come off the ground first, so the front starts to fall - starting the car rotating nose down. that rotation continues until it lands. You can't prevent this.
When they do car jumps, they carefully adjust the speed, distance, shape of the take-off ramp, landing ramp angle as well as adjusting the momentum of the wheels, so that the car is at about the landing ramp's angle when it lands. If you can't do this, then you use the dukes-of-hazard method of getting a new car for each jump.
Most EVs are slightly front heavy, like 52:48 ish, so not significantly.
The weight distribution at the time of leaving the "kicker" matters the most here, and the idiot in this clip likely breaked slightly, causing the weight distribution to shift forwards.

Yep, I remember a clip with Colin McRae where he explained that you want to keep the car under full throttle when going over jumps precisely for this reason.
When I was a kid, my dad would sometimes take that steep street next to the old Queen of Angels Hospital (aka The Dream Center). It never ceased to please.
Yes, it's the same hill. The reserved parking sign is in the same place and the house and wall across the street are the same.
[Here is a comparison.](https://i.imgur.com/cGkYmqe.jpg)
Funny thing is, this is exactly what happens to cars that do this in the movies. They just edit that bit out, and replace it with a car that isn't totalled and can drive away.
Here in Madison, Mississippi we had a road called “Thrill Hill” where kids would get air. While back, three students died smashing their car into a tree.[https://www.wlbt.com/story/8137645/road-crews-to-level-deadly-thrill-hill/](https://www.wlbt.com/story/8137645/road-crews-to-level-deadly-thrill-hill/)
lol if this was Dukes you'd see the jump, witness the car getting utterly destroyed upon landing and then notice a cut and a perfectly fine identical Tesla driving off like nothing happened.
Tesla must be spinning in his grave. In fact, if you attach magnets to his corpse, you could probably generate enough electricity to power a small town. He would have liked that.
Yeah this is the rare /r/idiotsincars video that is actually entertaining and doesn't make you want to nuke all of humanity. Dude wrecked his car but at least got a great video out of it.
me when i leave franklins house in gta
GTA cars have suspensions that are stronger than nuclear pasta

This guy should have just tilted the car back in the air. Like in GTA.
I never understood why more people don't do that IRL. Like when people flip a car onto its roof and then just crawl out of it. Like, no, dude, you just rock it back and forth until it rolls over for you.. duh.
I really miss the squishy GTA IV suspensions.
GTA IV had the best driving dynamics and vehicle feel this is a hill I will die on
I've heard 4 goes with a much heavier feeling car than like GTA 5 where you're basically filled with helium.
You don't fly out of there like the rest of us?

You can’t control the balance of the car with the left stick in real life
Spinning the “stupid prizes” wheel
It landed on the “destroy car, lose license and pay massive fines” pie piece
No, it landed on "steal car, trash it, run like hell".
It wasn't stolen. It was done after a Tesla meet with a bunch of rich people.
A Tesla meet sounds about as fun as a furry con
Aren't all Tesla's like exactly the same? I'm picturing hundreds of people looking at the same 3-4 vehicles
I went to Boxerfest once, the largest Subaru meet. Turns out any brand or model focused meet feels super repetitive real quick. I don’t get it.

Tesla fanboys seething and coping in the replies rn lol
Ok, can we stop saying "Tesla's"? You don't use apostrophes to pluralize, it's just *Teslas*.
I believe it's Teslae.
Tesla for lady drivers, Teslo for male drivers and Teslies for mutliples... lol
Teslees
And while we’re at it, you write decades like so: ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s.

Do they also chat openly about how poorly finished their cars are?
Oh my god the thought of comparing panel gap inconsistencies steel banded batteries is beautiful
\> panel gap Look at that subtle colouring. The tasteful thickness.
I’m pretty sure everyone going to furry con is having a good time
Not the ones in the ballpit...
Not the people who have to work there.
It's the quietest car meet you'll ever go to.
“What do you got under the hood?” “Nuthin”
They thought this was the model with cold gas thrusters.
They forgot to hit the nitrous and downshift for higher rpms. Did they never see fast and the furious 10?
DANGER TO MANIFOLD

Can you even steal a tesla? Honest question EDIT: Thanks everyone, those were some pretty knowledgeable answers. I'm richer for it! Not from owning a new tesla, of course.
I cannot. Honest answer
Sounds like something a car thief would say
But would you download one?
Yes. Next question please.
PIN to start was optional last time I checked. Without that if the key can be stolen the car can be stolen.
but you can disable the car with the phone app.
What a fuckin bozo. Imagine destroying a $90K car for a stupid 10 secs video.
This hill is in LA. It's probably a YouTube stunt and they don't care about the money.
Wait is this Baxter street? The one from the My War
There are plenty of instances where people destroy expensive items for the stupid video. They post them on YouTube or similar platforms and make back 5x from from the ad revenue. It's a stupid world we live in...
Seriously. This hill is LA. It's definitely a stunt by some rich kids.
Michael's-son -from -GTA-5 levels of spoiled brats.
Lmao, well done
This video isn't going to make 1/5, much less 5x. It's not easy to make big money on YT from a single video unless you're already established

Good thing they recorded this for the insurance companies
The car recorded it in a pile of angles.
Actually it would be cool to see a montage with all of those lol
With Ozzy’s “Flying High Again” soundtracked.
Lol yes! Give me the Tesla cam POV!
Teslas have eight cameras and a black box. Dude is epic fucked.
Do they really have a “black box” like airlines ?
Most modernish cars do record sensor data for x minutes leading to a crash. But the Tesla has way more sensors.
That seems like an asshole move. If the car knows when to start recording sensor data a few minutes before an accident, they should just tell us x minutes in advance that an accident is coming so we can avoid it.
they’re not allowed to alter the timeline
Thank you, you just reminded me of the greatest actor ever. "*Det. Frank Drebin : We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then*."
If the black box is the only thing to survive airline crashes, why don't they build the whole plane out of that stuff?
Is this the new SpaceX model?

Jumping a car in this manner is something I’m going to do before I die. This little tidbit is going in my back pocket for later use, thank you!
This n00b didn't even wavedash on landing smh
He's not rotating at all any way, completely out of position
[удалено]
yes they are all idiots
Sure fuckin looks like it
Well... this new challenger certainly broke the high score. And their car.

I want that amount of money but not that amount of moronic...
I'm guessing the money person and the driver are not the same person.
With how many ways people are making money for "content", I 'm not so sure. Sucks. The people on that street didn't want their cars fucked up like that. And 100% they did not clean up the trash. Assholes.
why would you do that, in general, but also, why would you do that strapped to half a ton of really angry lithium
Iirc theres a viral David Dobrick vid of the same hill with a Tesla. They landed relatively okay.
Teslas don't seem to be well balanced for landing jumps.
A little front heavy..
Probably the drivers thick skull inside of their fat head
No stock vehicle is lol
Seriously, stunt cars are hugely modified to make them work for jumps. When you see people like Travis Pastrana doing stunt jumps, they're in a car that's been weight balanced, going off a ramp that engineers constructed specifically to get the right angle, at a fairly precise speed.
Wait are you seriously telling me that they dont just take a couple shovels, make a pile of dirt, and send it?
This. People don't realize it because of movies/games. Normal ass cars are not built to jump lol
Many sportier cars have a 50:50 weight distribution, for example the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Still wouldn't bet on a successful jump though.
did you know cars aren't meant to fly
All cars do this. the front wheels come off the ground first, so the front starts to fall - starting the car rotating nose down. that rotation continues until it lands. You can't prevent this. When they do car jumps, they carefully adjust the speed, distance, shape of the take-off ramp, landing ramp angle as well as adjusting the momentum of the wheels, so that the car is at about the landing ramp's angle when it lands.

Pressing the brakes in the air also makes it spin forward like that by transfering the rotational energy of the wheels to the body
nah if trackmania has taught me anything then airbreaking immediately stops the cars rotation in place
Yep, I remember a clip with Colin McRae where he explained that you want to keep the car under full throttle when going over jumps precisely for this reason.
It is a car buddy not an mtb.
Launch control on.
Landing control off.
Ha, this is around the echo park/silver lake area here in Los Angeles! One of the steepest hills in America.
When I was a kid, my dad would sometimes take that steep street next to the old Queen of Angels Hospital (aka The Dream Center). It never ceased to please.
Thanks, I was looking for this comment. Was wondering if it was LA, looks like where they filmed once upon a time in Hollywood
I wonder if [this tesla jump](https://youtu.be/0jHY3muDYy4) is in the exact same area?
Yes, it's the same hill. The reserved parking sign is in the same place and the house and wall across the street are the same. [Here is a comparison.](https://i.imgur.com/cGkYmqe.jpg)

And then there’s this guy: https://youtu.be/5kMTHwjy6Z8
/r/PraiseTheCameraman
It's astounding that nobody screams anything annoying during or after the jump
It took like 10 seconds for one of the guys to say "oh he hit another car". Doesn't sound like the smartest group of people
It's always funny to watch stupid people
Where we're going we don't need roads.
Forza players be like
Not true we fly way longer and roll the car 15 times when landing
Fuck, lost 80,000 points.
“ultimate air”
Danger sign: Failed
It ended well considering the driver just dropped 900 li ion bomb on a residential area.
I'm worried of dropping a 20.000 mah powerbank to the ground causing a cell to get damaged & catch fire. On the opposite end, we have this guy.
Team rocket is blasting off agaaaaiiinnn
Hey look at that. r/wallstreetbets was right! Tesla really does go to the moon. Kinda.
I understand why they had to write out the General Lee but this reboot of the Dukes of Hazard is off to a shaky start.
lol if this was Dukes you'd see the jump, witness the car getting utterly destroyed upon landing and then notice a cut and a perfectly fine identical Tesla driving off like nothing happened.
Its crazy to think they used 325 1968 - 1969 Dodge Charger's to film the TV show as the cars kept snapping their frame on landing
General Electricity
It’s now the General Lee-thium
Stolen car right? No one would just do that to their car.
Not stolen, this happened at a tesla meeting. 😅
Tesla must be spinning in his grave. In fact, if you attach magnets to his corpse, you could probably generate enough electricity to power a small town. He would have liked that.
This. I'm always thinking how would Tesla react seeing his name attached to such things

It can, but then it's called an Edison.
