Tesla’s battery packs have become very difficult to dissassemble.

The most I’ve ever used in any calendar month in the past 45 years is 450 kWh. For most of the past 20, it’s been 190-275 kwh monthly

“I think Tesla gets bad press because they are Tesla and Elon is Elon”

“Of course, the bill had its proponents, namely Elon Musk. He attempted to lobby against the bill with The Chronicle “
Op-ponents, not pro-ponents, in this case

It’s not - and has never been - merely about deaths; it’s the impact to the healthcare system & on working people who live in households with older relatives

Most of that battery expertise is in Panasonic’s hands

I bet you can find worse among living members of your family, probably people you liked or admired until you found out what they were really like.
In any case, people find ways to forgive each other which tbh is necessary for us all to move forward

Elle lui fait le pipe dans un théâtre

Kick these cops off ANY police force for 5 years, impose a $1 million fine on the pension fund per infringement & a $10k fine on the officer for a unlicensed performance.

But then you get your “camp kitchen” for free whereas it would cost you $5k if you bought a Rivian 8^D

“ It’s a pre-production prototype”
It’s a worse looking/built prototype than the original shown 2.5 years ago of a vehicle that was supposed to already be in production.
By this point Tesla should have beta cars & I fully expected them to have a few for public test rides. But at least the drone choreography was cool.

We won’t be saved by a 1-for-1 swap of passenger ICE for EV; all of transport needs to be decarbonized asap & electric buses - and semis - will do much more per kWh of battery capacity than these rectangular tinkertoys.

Elon’s primary concern is to get his stainless steel costs down as low as possible for the flotilla of Starships he plans to build. Cybertruck issues are secondary to that goal.

Tesla never builds enough prototypes. As lame as Faraday Future is/was, they built 40 prototypes of the FF91 within less than 2 years.
Tesla showed off 3 Model 3s at the reveal event but only 1 was drivable and at least one of the others was mostly painted wood.

“It’s within spec” - Tesla engineers

“This how notion that dour = good needs to stop in Hollywood”
For a very long time they’ve had wisecracking = good which can be just as tedious.

“he’s at best a casual gamer since most of his waking hours are spent at work”

a subscription fee which will NOT be refunded for ANY reason, even if it’s because Tesla took months to repair your $140k Plaid hyperspacecar

He’s ordinaaarrryy
