1st gear: Wouldn’t be surprising if the Cybertruck sees a reduction later, as more real-world figures come out (or there are fewer embarrassing videos of them getting stuck making the rounds). 

This. The AI won't say "No" right? 

Also very on-brand for Elon "Putin my money where my mouth is" Musk... 

Re: #1, BYD is bigger now.

My God, THIS is the land of the Free?

Put it in "H"! 

That's the beauty of it - it's sooooo on brand!

Agreed - this won't be solved by a single "silver bullet", but rather different authorities acting within their mandates in the same directions. It'll always be a cat-and-mouse game between the authorities and those who seek to break the law. 

That’s not really a solid argument for the status quo.
