True, there is that. But the thing is if Musk wasn't Musk we wouldn't have the Cybertruck or Tesla at all for that matter. Or SpaceX, or Neuralink, or The Boring Company. He's a bit of a mad genius but the world is better off with him in it. He was much less vocal until the politicians that...

I've been to 2, a maintenance event and a club event that featured a Cybertruck. Both at the new Golden Valley, MN Tesla service center. I'd highly recommend going to one if you can. I wasn't sure about the maintenance event beforehand but am very glad I attended. They had torn down vehicle...

Another aspect of the Cybertruck vs the Land Rover Defender is maintenance costs. Comparing the 2 companies, according to Consumer Reports Tesla is the least expensive and Land Rover is the most expensive. Pay me now or pay me later...

Especially if you get crickets.

TSLA finished up 13.38% after hours. Here's the earnings call with Rob Mauer commentary:

Before making further comments on this it may be wise to watch the Earnings Call discussion: BTW, TSLA is up over 9% after hours at the moment.

Of course it has flaws. Everything and everyone that deals with money has flaws, including pretty much every elected official regardless of affiliation. I disagree that a shareholder with 9 shares who is simply a foil for a money grabbing law firm is able to turn upside down a contract years...

Or upside down if you don't need to look at it. Hopefully not if driving...

Yep. I've not experienced any problems with FSD v12.3.4 and it fixed a couple issues in v12.3.3. That said I saw a report yesterday that the lane selection issues that a few people reported were fixed in v12.3.5 (which is very close to public release). FSD is indeed supervised and it's...

Do you have the phone in a case? If so have you tried charging it without the case? Also do you and your wife have the same cases? In the model Y the wireless charging efficiency of my Pixel 7 Pro varies depending on the case. It charges faster and stays cooler without a case. For fastest...

When a company like Tesla is a massive disrupter, all manner of vested interests pull every dirty trick available in order to protect their billion dollar cash cows. In Tesla's case it's the fossil fuel conglomerates, legacy automobile, large unions, government actors (on both sides of the...

I read that somebody on the assembly line got the idea that the pedal cover would be easier to install if they rubbed some soap in the grooves. Unfortunately the soap kept the adhesive from properly bonding. Not sure if that's accurate but it makes sense.

Aunty says: "Bust a deal, face the wheel."

This is in no way true. I watched the whole thing unfold in real time (Yep I'm old and had a small side business of modifying the Apple II into faster CPM machines and also upgrading the early IBM PCs with faster NEC v20/v30 and later AMD chips)). Under Jobs Apple became the fastest growing...

Wouldn't it be nice if people just bought the truck they wanted and didn't have to be judged by someone with different needs and a different opinion. Never mind, too much to hope for.

Poll yesterday:

What a great post and info. Thanks, for the fun footage!

Oh Oh, do I smell an incoming "I had an accident and it's Tesla's fault video."? ;-)

For sure if it's stainless steel. ;-) And there'll be 500 videos on YT...

Apple ousted Steve Jobs and subsequently went right into the dumpster. It wasn't until Jobs returned to an Apple that was a stodgy corporate mess and nearly bankrupt that Apple's recovery began. Apple was lucky, Jobs came back and saved it by overhauling the antiquated OS and by introducing...
