So Elon just shut down the Tesla motorcycle rumors again — and his reason? He nearly died on one.

While the internet was going wild over some AI-generated fever dream showing him on a futuristic monowheel, the man himself showed up with three words that killed the vibe instantly:

"Never gonna happen."

Turns out he had a brutal motorcycle crash years back, and that was enough to cross two-wheelers off the Tesla product roadmap forever. No electric Harley rival. No cyberpunk bike fantasy. Just a hard pass rooted in actual survival instinct.

Guess sometimes the wildest product ideas die not from lack of vision, but from too much real-world experience.

Haha, it's really "almost died" and then motorcycles are permanently banned. I actually buy this reason... --- So you really have to go through it to understand. No matter how wild the armchair strategizing gets, it's useless. --- LOL, Musk chickened out for real. --- Almost died and now he'll never touch it again, that survival instinct is strong. --- Forget it, I can't afford a Tesla motorcycle anyway—dream's over. --- This guy really means what he says, "never" really means never. --- Even geniuses can have psychological shadows, lesson learned. --- Those hoping for a Tesla motorcycle are going to be disappointed.

Haha, it's Elon with his wild talk again. Almost died once and completely gave up on motorcycles. I give this logic full marks.

Haha, Musk almost died but still wants to ride a motorcycle, this guy is really amazing. Reality has really taught a lesson to dreams. No matter how amazing your imagination is, it can't compete with the hands of death. So, the Tesla motorcycle dream is shattered, but... this reason is quite honest. I've really never seen a product decision logic like this "I almost died."

Haha, it's starting again. Musk says he won't do it, so he won't... Anyway, those renderings are just one after another, the fans are just having a good time.
