What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,

'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'

Hitler was a drug addict and the trains didn't run on time.

German trains still don't run on time. Can't blame that one on the Nazis, that's just a German thing.

Still better than Canadian rail. That shit is regularly late. Significantly late.

German told me

trains are always late, no one uses them unless you plan on being 30 minutes late

That's kinda bullshit. Like, yeah, 30 Minutes delay on an ICE Journey aren't necessarily uncommon, but with distances where the ICE makes sense, they're usually faster than driving, and a traffic jam underway that delays you by about that isn't all that unlikely on those distances either.

With more local transport, it usually runs on time for me, and I use it almost daily. Might vary by region, though.
