I can't tell if the pull quotes are satire or not. "With Gentoo, my 5s 0-60 is so much faster than your 5s 0-60."

Combined with the stated 3 day compile time, I'm thinking yes? Maybe?

That's immediately what I thought of as well, but I didn't want to, um, insult the blogger.

It's satire.

"All those USE flags, CFLAGS, and optimizations are going to add speed to my car. My 5 second 0-60 will be faster than your 5 second 0-60!"

If you look at the bottom of my blog you'll see that the captions and jokes are referencing http://funroll-loops.info/

I even took some of my favorites from there and modified them to reference Tesla, and that's what the captions are.

Now you can feel doubly awesome since you successfully trolled me at the same time as you hacked your Tesla!
