They should be patient for the government to approve Elon Musk’s Hyper Asphalt instead

I'm picturing some poor fool backing their Tesla into a manmade tar pit because Elon didn't account for a Texas heatwave.

I can imagine a Tesla owner's car falling into the pit and the owner getting roasted on Twitter. He gets really mad and says...

Look, my car was NOT "like a mammoth swallowed whole falling to the deep abyss of a ginormous manmade tar pit of Biblical proportions".

My car was not "swallowed whole". A portion remained above the pit line.

It is incorrect to say "deep abyss". An abyss is already "a deep or seemingly bottomless chasm". The pit was probably 8 feet deep at most.

Ginormous? It was a small localized area.

The photos of my car in the pit that everyone is refering to were probably photoshopped. And even if they weren't - the situation wasn't as bad as it looks. It is challenging to fix but, dummies, I have insurance anyway.

And the list goes on for 16 more items.
