oh my god
he's trying to get his weirdo followers to juice the stock back up
usually when companies get started and grow, their products get better over time as learning effects kick in and they fine-tune the production process and catch and fix problems. tesla is unusual in that their cars are getting worse the more of them they make
they are still building them outside in a circus tent haunted by the ghosts of murdered clowns, aren't they?

crazy how long it's taken legislation and enforcement to catch up, but things are at least happening at some pace

Sure it's peanuts compared to their overvalue but lol
South Korea's antitrust regulator said it would impose a 2.85 billion won ($2.2 million) fine on Tesla Inc <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/TSLA.O/"target="_blank">(TSLA.O)</a> for failing to tell its customers about the shorter driving range of its electric vehicles (EVs) in low temperatures.
imagine four tesla passengers at the bottom of a cliff. tesla stocks work the same way
The Tesla Model Y has a perfect five-star safety rating, and is one of the safest cars ever tested. That high level of safety was on full display after a serious crash in California on [...]
Sarah Michelle Gellar! What do you think about Elon Musk!?
Sarah Michelle Gellar:
*rolls eyes*
*jerk-off motion*
Twenty years after 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' its star is back with more high school horror as she battles to protect her younger 'Wolf Pack' co-stars — and her daughter — from industry abuses: “I hope that I’ve set up a safety net for these actors that I didn’t have.”
"Musk tweeted about the allegedly pending deal after the Financial Times reported that the Saudi Arabia government's Public Investment Fund had acquired a $2 billion stake in Tesla."
they literally worship him as a god
blood sacrifice and all
die for dorkseed
every time a company Musk runs puts out lousy, smug voiced copy like that disclaimer and "this is a legacy verified, it may or may not be notable" you can safely bet that he personally dictated it and ordered it to be put in
many board members have said that they don't like my tweets or me tweeting

"Elon Musk admits at trial that he ignored pleas to stop tweeting
They have a list.
Among the people who asked him to stop tweeting are Antonio Gracias, a former director on Tesla’s board, investors Ron Baron and Sam Teller, Musk’s former de facto chief of staff, and other close associates.
"I suppose I continued to tweet, yes,” Musk replied when asked if he ignored his advisors and investors"
Tesla Inc's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/TSLA.O" target="_blank">(TSLA.O)</a> electric vehicles are expensive to repair - so much so that the automaker and insurers are addressing the issue in sharply different ways.

if you were wondering how things are going over at tesla, hoo boy they're going swimmingly
I don't know whether it is sad or funny that the guy who posted Tesla self driving fucking up and made the news still owns a Tesla, but Tesla has blackballed him from receiving repairs to his Tesla.
Imagine posting "my shitbox civic broke down again" on Instagram and having the CEO of Honda turn up and have a meltdown on your doorstep.
I hope this will not impact Tesla's ability to sell carbon credits
Steering wheel fell off, just normal car things. But we’ll buy back your car (which has nothing wrong with it anyways
they are gonna pay him aren’t they

I am sure the NLRB will take it very seriously and may even tut-tut musk, maybe even strongly
just another software update "recall"
apparently it just disables the rolling-stop feature
now they just need to disable the "hits curbs in the snow", "hits stationary objects at highway speeds", and "runs over children" features
Eberhard, who Musk ousted as CEO of Tesla in 2007, said creating software for the electric cars to drive themselves was the least of his concerns when he was at Tesla.
"So, keep in mind that all this FSD autonomous, autopilot crap — none of that existed when I was there," he said. "We were still busy trying to make the car work and we never thought about that at all. That came later. That requires a much, much bigger budget than we had."
this shit has a long way to drop, but if his song and dance press event is no longer wowing rubes, it might even happen
and all it took was him pissing off the business and tech press by running twitter into the ground
lol what is this
"groimes sombaddy drapped a loight saba in me truck, loike the stah wahs"
lmao it's mom from Futurama, complete with idiot sons
"shut up, kimbal! mom knows I'm the smart one!"
@cspam
It's a truly bizarre thing to brag about: we figured out that we could save five or ten bucks in materials in a way that you might think would reduce your safety, but we think it won't!
No-one cares that they saved a piddling sum in materials on each car (I hope) but now they're worried the seatbelt might not work.
