CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Space Ball One goes to plaid when Helmet (Rick Moranis) insists on taking the ship to Ludicrous Speed.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
A space bum helps rescue a princess from an evil overlord with the help of a benevolent elder in this Star Wars send-up written and directed by Mel Brooks. Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog co-pilot, Barf the Mawg (John Candy), are content to scour the galaxy living the easy life. But they reluctantly come to the rescue when Druish Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) is threatened by the evil Lord Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis), who wants to steal all of the air from her planet, Druidia. Trapped on a harsh desert world with Vespa and her robot chaperone, Dot Matrix (voice of Joan Rivers), Lone Starr and Barf are helpless to prevent Helmet from kidnapping the girl. But assistance arrives in the form of Yogurt (Brooks), a wizard who turns Lone Starr on to a mysterious power known as The Schwartz. Catching up with Helmet just as he's transforming his spaceship into a giant vacuum cleaner in orbit around Druidia, the reluctant heroes stage a dramatic showdown. Although it borrows most of its plot from the Star Wars series, Spaceballs also pokes fun at Star Trek, Snow White, and Planet of the Apes -- as well as the entire videocassette and movie marketing industries. The large supporting cast includes Dick Van Patten, Jim J. Bullock, and the voice of Dom DeLuise. John Hurt makes a cameo in a parody of the exploding chest scene he played in Alien.

The phrase "raspberry jam delta-v" comes to mind.
Also, the obligatory clip from Spaceballs...

This specific moment where he still makes the noise after having the microphone smacked from him makes me laugh the same as it did when I was a tiny kid.

Michael Winslow is one of the greats.

He was on AGT a few years ago.

It's still kinda unbelievable that the largest and most valued electric car maker in the world is naming their cars from scenes that elon thought was funny.[0] What a time to be alive.

Pop culture sells. I like it specifically because no marketing department would ever okay something like this.

⬐ DuskStar
Don't forget choosing model names to be S3XY... (Apparently Ford owns the rights to "Model E")

⬐ mhh__
That's because Tesla are massively overvalued relative to what they will most likely achieve. Tesla are not the largest car manufacturer at all - Tesla's market cap is hugely bigger than ford's, but ford's yearly revenue is only a bit smaller than Tesla's market cap

⬐ zalkota
The market knows better than you. They aren’t a car company, just like Apple isn’t a phone company.

⬐ rsynnott
Yes, that's why Pets.com is such a powerhouse.

⬐ mhh__
Apple makes fucktons of money though. Tesla's PE is 1039 as of today, Apple's is 34.

⬐ catsdanxe
Tesla has thousands of vehicles out on the road collecting data to train it's self driving features. Nobody else has this.

⬐ mlindner
Companies are valued based on what people think they will do in the future. And many people think Tesla will cause a revolution in the car industry developing the technology to eliminate combustion engine vehicles from the roads. As they mentioned today, if they achieve what they're aiming for in the next ~3 years, electric vehicles will be cheaper in total cost of ownership than combustion engine vehicles.

Yeah, it reminded me of Spaceballs. "They've gone to plaid!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAWL8ejf2nM
