Battery tech only comes out with outrageous claims once a month, so this MUST be real!

If this is a viable research path, then I'll wonder how large it can be physically scaled. If it's no bigger than a smartwatch button, it adds to a couple of sectors, but doesn't solve any real infrastructure programs.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was just told I was supposed to be saying, WHOOPIE!

They're also in a doom-fluffing loop, thanks to Elon.

Elon pisses off a large arm of the existing customer base, and they start talking smack about Elon, Elon gets more dogmatic, more people reject him, he digs deeper...

Meanwhile, nobody watches the store, they ship a bad product, don't produce new competitive ones and slip behind in competitiveness, fire the infrastructure recharger team...

Tesla, you've matured to the point you have to start acting like a mature corporation, or you're gonna end up dying a broke spinster.

Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal cover

This time there's no over-the-air software patch.

I take it they'll have to remove the frame to replace the pedal cover, but it's not that costly. Only $5000. Recall, you say? Oh...okay. Drive 300 miles to your closest Tesla dealer, and they'll do it for free.

Tesla.
For whatever reason he did it, he helped kick EV development up a notch. Thank you, Elon. Now take your fascist ass somewhere else.
