"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, insurers take different paths to deal with expensive repairs
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

JONES-TOWN! JONES-TOWN! JONES-TOWN!
Well, we're living here in ElonTown
And he's closing all the factories down
Out in Boca, they're killing birds
Ignoring norms, launching real turds
Well, our fathers fought the First Forum Wars
Spent their weekends watching Jersey Shore
Met our mothers on the ICQ
Asked her to chat, she had nothing to do
And we're living here in ElonTown
But some random shit gets handed down
And it's getting very hard to stay
Well, we're waiting here in ElonTown
For the Nueralink we never found
For the promises our leader gave
If we loved car, if we prepaid
So the reservations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No, the Cybertruck was never real
Cars missing parts, no steering wheels
And we're waiting here in ElonTown
But he's taken with the new tweet he found
And the union people got led away
Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
Car AI, fire a truck through our face
Whoa-oh-oh
Well, I'm living here in ElonTown
And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting up today
And it's getting very hard to stay
And we're living here in ElonTown

This is just a clever way to extend the semi's range
it reports all your driving info to your insurance company
wonder what the venn diagram of 'people who are defending this' vs. 'people who think 15 minute cities are a WEF plot to micromanage your life' looks like
"First reported by Autoevolution, the $700 option to retrofit Model X and Y cars with a regular steering wheel has clearly been popular among drivers. According to the site, the retrofit sold out in “less than a week” and it suggests that the accessory was “probably one of the most successful items in the Tesla Shop.”"

We all know Teslas like to spontaneously combust, but sometimes it's not even the battery or the motors. Sometimes it's the tires:
https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/300843859/tesla-on-fire-on-auckland-harbour-bridge-overnight
"A witness told Stuff when they drove past that the Tesla was driving with one of the front tyres on fire.
As the person approached the bridge, they said: “There was burning rubber strewn across the road, but she was still going, one car in front of me."
Holy shit! There are 35 Tesla semis?
Good news! Elon said they finally cracked FSD and it is now perfect.
All those crashes and accidents were actually part of the plan to train the AI because they could only do it via simulations before.
Teslas can record and send videos to the company's servers at any time without the user's knowledge, even when the car is turned off and sitting in your garage. these images and videos are geotagged with the exact location they were taken at.
These images were accessible to 1000+ people, who were passing them around to others in group chats and making memes based on them and shit.

Tesla cuts US prices for fifth time since January
Tesla <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/TSLA.O" target="_blank">(TSLA.O)</a> cut prices in the United States between 2% and nearly 6%, its website showed on Thursday, as the company extends a discount drive on its electric vehicles that analysts caution could hurt profitability.
are you a partner at a law firm? Would you like to flush your career down the toilet? well join Tesla and bend to the whims of an idiot manchild as we uhhhhh litigate? Stuff? Such as our cars mowing down schoolchildren?

podkaynelives@podkaynelives remember when Musk found out the law firm defending him from the SEC had a lawyer that used to work for the SEC, and he got mad and demanded the firm fire that lawyer?
this man does not understand "conflict of interest" very well. but he does understand that the firm told him to fuck off, even if it meant losing him as a customer. and he hates that so much
