This post is strictly theoretical. In the US, wealthy white men are in virtually no danger of being tried, convicted, and deported.

Apply the law.  I am so fucking sick of billionaires and celebs and uber rich assholes pulling shit that the rest of us get the book thrown at us for.  He lied on his form?  Pull his citizenship.  He knew he was lying....then his political contributions are illegal.  Prosecute him.

There's other rubber that's more useful for a bang...

“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.

Stock is up over 20% as of right now. Crazy how much hype this company trades on. 

I just skimmed the article and by no means am I an accountant or finance guy, but it sounds like a good bulk of those profits were not from selling cars. Sounds like they made a pretty penny selling regulatory credits to other automakers who needed them.  As other automakers electrify/hybridize their lineups, that…

Because, if you’re planning on transitioning from an EV/ICE garage at home to a totally EV one (like I am next year), Tesla’s GPS tied in with their Supercharger system is still miles ahead of anything else any other EV manufacturer offers. And for someone who’s getting beyond baby steps in EV’s (local commute and one…

because his stan fanbois will always willing to sacrifice themselves and support him financially every single time

There’s a sucker born every minute, and in America, there are a LOT of suckers. Our system is geared toward ensuring that evil wins and profits. Always.

Elmo keeps disappointing. I was hoping the lack of new models, the shitshow that was their new product launch (CyberCab, RoboVan, Optimus) and the poor reviews of the CyberTruck would pull down the stock prices, but apparently enough people are still buying Teslas (or Tesla selling carbon offset) that they’re still a…

Insert Jesse screaming “ He can’t keep getting away with it!!”

Backlog of CT sales that are fizzling out as we speak.

I can only assume his customer base has shifted MAGA. I can’t imagine anyone else is good conscience financially supporting this guy.

‘…not everyone with differing view points are evil.’

I somewhat agree with you, but at this point the Republican party is, in fact, evil. Democrats aren’t saints, but at least they do police their own in a way that the Republicans simply DON’T anymore.

I would say the right way would be weatherpack connectors.  Or the OE version of such.  Solder isn’t bad either but it definitely has a habit of shaking apart. Always used weatherpack for connections on my circle track cars just for that reason.

crimping was invented because electrical connections were prone to failure in WWII aircraft due to vibration. They did extensive tests and crimping did best.

No, not in an automotive application. And assuming they are done correctly of courses. 

Yeah, I’m calling shenanigans on that one. Soldered joints aren’t prone to failure due to vibrations. Every module in the car has hundreds or even thousands of them. *Unsecured* joints are prone to failure due to vibration, particularly badly created joints. Soldering isn’t that hard, but there is some skill and a bit…
