Sometimes, the jokes in a news story write themselves. Such was the case yesterday when a Frito-Lay Tesla Semi, which usually gets used to haul snacks like Cheetos, went up in flames. In fairness, the bags do say “Flamin’ Hot” on them!
I wrote about what happened when that Tesla Semi went up in flames. Because I try to be serious, I avoided making Cheetos jokes. Thankfully, you carried the torch for me. Sid Bridge:
Argh. This is breaking my brain. Here’s what I’ve got:
1. They probably should have trusted this load to the Snowman.
2. Best visual for how it feels when Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are coming out.
3. Has Tesla Stan jumped in the comments and explained that the truck went into “complete burn mode” and safely burned itself while sending data back to the mainframe?
4. Wow. It really ain’t easy being cheesy.
5. Driver: I don’t know what happened. It just caught fire (hides the rest of his roman candles)
6. This is the worst reboot of Sorcerer/The Wages of Fear I’ve seen so far.
7. Who’s going to break it to my kids that their Cheetos are gonna be late?
8. This is part of conspiracy to make Insurance Adjuster a more stressful job so more people decide to be air traffic controllers.
9. Next time the city tells me not to wash my car because there’s a water shortage I’m sending them this video.
10. Now I know why Elon sent his roadster into space.

Flaming hot Cheetos!!

The Flaming Hot Cheeto jokes write themselves!
Paul E:
And that first Tesla truck crash? I mean, it was on its way to Sparks!
D-dub:
The worst part about putting out this kind of fire is all the orange dust that gets on your fingers.
I Farted So Hard it Hurts:
Doesn’t help that it was a truck hauling Cheetos. Those things are 90% grease so that probably helped fuel the flames!!!!
Matt wrote about Anthony Scaramucci’s lies about a Batmobile. I adore The NSX Was Only in Development for 4 Years’ sarcasm here:
I’m personally shocked that someone as reputable as a politician/investment banker would just go on the internet and tell lies. This is unprecedented.
Matt wrote a Morning Dump about GM’s hybrids, then asked about what car you would hybridize. Rad Barchetta:
TBQ:
Finally, a question to which Miata is not the answer.
FleetwoodBro:
I have a Highlander Hybrid at 55,000 miles still on its original brake pads because of the way the regen system works. I always wondered why GM ran away from hybrids and now it occurs to me that it was Big Brake Pad. Big Brake Pad hates hybrids and they’ve got the General by the short hairs.
Have a great evening, everyone!

If Miata is not the answer, then Minta must be.
