His tweet said, “considering”, not “going to” or “trying to” take the company private. It’s clear from the wording that it was a trial balloon being floated to the public for feedback, not a statement of intent worthy of an SEC filing.

You’re not going to get fossil fuel powered cars any cleaner than they are today.

Particularly the criticism and Haterade towards both.

Whats hilarious is the people who laugh at Musk because Tesla hasn’t turned a profit, then scoff at him for being a billionaire on paper because of a bunch of stock he could never actually sell. Dude has put every penny he owns into the company to accomplish his goals, and people still call him a rich asshole who only…

Musk has fewer liquid assets today than the day he sold PayPal. All of his wealth is tied up in company stock that would be impossible to sell en masse without scuttling the company.

A Ford Coyote V8 swap is also an acceptable answer to any question.

I have a 1990 Firebird I would very much like to do this to. I just moved to Reno.

The electronics are almost always made my third party manufacturers. Those manufacturers can make these modules for Tesla as easily as they make the other modules.

10% should be more than enough to provide all the hosting. 30% is highway robbery.

Yeah seriously. Amazon was “unprofitable” by the same metrics for years while they were building their infrastructure.

Eveverything you say here is either a significant exaggeration of the limitations of Tesla's vehicles, or just plain incorrect.

It’s theoretically possible, but unlikely.
