Tesla's Roadster reveal draws applause and skepticism as production slips to 2028

Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes film gets near-perfect marks

The hosts open by praising "You Can See Everything," Nathan Fielder's film about Elizabeth Holmes, with one host calling it "pretty much a 10 out of 10." They discuss the cinematography and lighting, debating how much was achieved through practical craft versus VFX, and note A24 references in the cast. They cite an informal poll by Liz Wessel, described as a Ramp investor at First Round, who took 150 founders and investors to a screening and polled 16 of them: 14 said they felt more positive about Holmes afterward, one felt more negative, and one was unchanged, while all 16 said they felt more negative about "Billy" (a producer figure in the film).

One host says the experience felt "completely psychedelic," comparing the audience's mixed laughing and gasping to a shared sensory event. Another admits missing part of the film because of a real-life interruption from a nearby fire and says he'll need to rewatch it. They recommend seeing it this weekend and staying spoiler-free.

Tesla's Roadster demo wows and disappoints at once

The hosts turn to Tesla's Roadster reveal, revealing that one host had put down a $5,000 deposit two days earlier but now says "I think I got to refund it" after learning production won't start until 2028. He says he assumed the event marked the start of deliveries rather than another demo. Both hosts praise the spectacle—cold-gas thrusters, a driver in a SpaceX-style spacesuit, and a car performing what looked like a kickflip up a ramp—while criticizing Elon Musk's delivery and that of "the two other guys" on stage as awkward with "lot of dead air."

"dropping like the car will be going into production in 2028 was just like completely insane"

— a host

They run a tier-list exercise: juvenile jokes in the presentation get an "F," while the ramp-to-kickflip stunt earns "S tier" for looking like it "breaks the perceived laws of physics." They note the thrusters reportedly give only "one and a half to two seconds" of air time, question real-world utility, and joke about scenarios like escaping a collapsing bridge.

Pricing, track potential, and doubts about delivery

The hosts lay out reported pricing: a $45,000 deposit within 10 days for the default performance model without thrusters, and $245,000 more (for a $250,000 total) within 10 days for the thruster model; the flight model's price is unknown and invite-only. One host says he isn't worried about final pricing, arguing Tesla and SpaceX "are really good at making things pretty cheap."

They speculate the car could post a "sub five-minute Nürburgring" lap given downforce from the thrusters and fans, comparing it to "Porsche 919 Evo territory." But they also raise doubts: tires might not survive a lap at that performance level, tracks could ban the car from public days, and one host worries images show the thruster-equipped car's interior as "basically just all a roll cage" with no seats.

Porsche's Mission S offers a nostalgic contrast

The hosts note the Porsche Mission S launched the same day and call it "the most beautiful version of stagnation," pointing to styling influences from the Porsche 959 and GT1 and a reported but unconfirmed V8 (or flat-eight) engine. They praise its lack of a screen and focus on seats and harnesses as "going backwards in time," contrasting it with Tesla's attempt to push propulsion technology forward. One host says he'd expect Mission S deliveries sooner than the Roadster, hoping for production "next year," while cancelling his Roadster order "this morning" over shipping concerns.

Markets sell off as AI stocks drag down the Nasdaq

The hosts close by noting a rough trading day, citing the Nasdaq down 2.14%, the S&P 500 down 1.09%, and referencing reports that AI-related shares pushed the Nasdaq down further, leaving the benchmark down 4.7% for the week—potentially its worst week since "the tariff meltdown" if losses exceeded 4.68%. They jokingly reference Jim Cramer suggesting markets "clean out this blown up hedge fund and start fresh on Monday," and note their own prior stream title, "sell everything including your dollars," proved apt. They also mention co-host Tyler Cosgrove was featured by name in the Wall Street Journal for covering the "Cheeky Pint" story.
