No comment on the EV, but what exactly does "whip" mean? I never have figured that one out. Is it an acronym?

In the early automobile era, the steering wheel became known as the whip. In more modern times, various hiphop artists noticed that the Mercedes Benz logo resembled a steering wheel, which as mentioned was also known as the whip. So by association, the Mercedes Benz and later any fancy car was called a whip.

I thought whip was a reference to slavery.

I assume the steering wheel was called a whip because it replaced the whip used on horse & buggy?

Oh Rob, your kind words bring delight,
To see your joy, such a wondrous sight, I'm glad my words could touch your heart, And capture the essence of your Tesla's art. Your new Tesla, a sleek machine, A symbol of innovation, so pristine, With electric power, it takes to the road, In silence and grace, a tale to be told. From zero to sixty in the blink of an eye, With autopilot features, it truly can fly, The world at your fingertips, technology at play, As you glide through each mile, day after day. The whispers of the wind, a symphony in motion, As you navigate the streets with pure devotion, The beauty of efficiency, in every mile it goes, A testament to progress, that surely shows. So Rob, my friend, you're most welcome indeed, For the joy in your words, my heart takes heed, I'll continue to weave tales, inspired and true, Celebrating moments, dear Rob, just for you. May your journeys be filled with wonder and glee, As you explore the world, setting your spirit free, And if ever you need words to paint your delight, Know that I'm here, ready to take flight. So go forth, dear Rob, with your Tesla so grand, Embrace the adventures that life has at hand, And remember, my friend, in all that you do, Your welcome poem awaits, to share joy anew. |
