Musk getting the boot out of the country would be the best possible thing that could happen to Tesla

I think the Tesla board puts pressure on him to step aside if the Mango Madness loses.

Musk getting the boot out of the country would be the best possible thing that could happen to Tesla, absent President Harris instituting Norwegian-level EV subsidies.

First of all, its not a “coin toss” and has not been for some time. Early voting with the huge numbers of women voting shows that in the end, ending abortion rightsis not at all popular with women.
 
That and a shit ton of people don’t actually pay attention to any of this until the very end. And trump tripped over his…

Elon Musk? Barely know him. He’s had some tiny success here and there. They’re saying electric cars and rockets. Very low energy stuff. Did a terrible job in Pennsylvania. I never asked him for a thing, he was totally on his own! He was writing checks all over the place and couldn’t do a thing. Tremendous failure if yo…

The question is, would the have done it if no money was involved? The answer is most likely not. That is why Musk offered the money. The man will never give someone a dime if they’re willing to do something for free, which still makes the person who signed up a brainwashed fool for being tricked into doing something…

You don't. You formulate an exit strategy. 

How can you help people who are working so hard against their own interests?

My friend’s neighbor has a yard sign that says something like “I’d rather vote for a felon than a jackass”. It’s shit like that that makes you just want to give up sometimes. How can you help people who are working so hard against their own interests?

“still glad I did it but wondering if that was a scam.”

Man famous for not paying his debts, doesn’t pay debts. Consequences are for the little people.

To be fair, he’s also telling us what this system really is

Narcissism is a hell of a drug.  And that’s probably not the only drug he’s on.

“The last thing I would do is trust a computer program,” Elon Musk at a town hall hosted at a high school outside Philadelphia

Yeah, I like the idea of Electric for this use, assuming the guy can charge at home. Used Model S purchased from somewhere other than a Tesla dealer?

I just find it a bit ironic that car owners will accept and sometime actually embrace issues like this on older cars and project cars but not on new vehicles. Granted, it appears to be a design issue, but it’s still a mechanical thing, which means at some point, it’s gonna break. 

Or, since he knew about the issue well beforehand, maybe disconnect the knock sensor, coat the female connector with a touch of dielectric grease, then reconnect? An ounce of prevention and all that.

Not a single person can give me a compelling reason to own an EV that doesn’t include 1. responsibility to our planet, 2. not going to the gas station, 3. hauling kids around...

Also, coal represents only about 16% of national kWh generation: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3

I wonder if some perception of EVs is additionally colored by behemoths like the Cybertruck. Yes, it’s an EV, but it -feels- like an 8000 SUX.
