that does not make him a doctor. Why does he call himself a Doctor?

A PhD can call themselves "Doctor" under certain conditions, with psychology professor being one of them. A lot of people who could use it don't, though, because they aren't self-serving egotists like Jorp.

I remember Michele Bachmann briefly began calling herself Dr. as she has a juris doctorate to be a lawyer, until someone must have told her to knock it off. (Lol I couldn’t remember her name so I googled “weird Minnesota rep” and boom)

'doctor' originally belonged to academics, physicians stole it a couple centuries ago to try to shore up public faith in their rather questionable medicine

the article says it's resolved with an over the air software update, so probably not going to cost them that much

Soviet Power Supreme!

Recall in this case is an over the air software update. So really 0 cost to Tesla.

Tesla real problem is 5 years from now when all other manufacturers match Tesla's EV production levels. They're crazy overvalued because they promised self driving which every other manufacturer would need to license. Doesn't look like that's happening. Musk cut lidar to save costs and new Tesla's are blind and unsafe to self drive at night or in any bad weather. Compare that to what Volvo and even Nio (lol) are showing off with their lidars that work on top of cameras to give your car night vision and bad weather visibility you wouldn't even have with your own eyes.

This, by the way, is why most people with PhDs don't call themselves "doctor" or put "PhD" in their name in most interactions, even though they're entitled to do that. The biggest faux-intellectuals do it, so a lot of actual smart people stopped doing it. For JorP the titles is the important part, he has to sell this image because he doesn't have any good ideas

Eh, it's pretty circumstance based. I know a fair few women PhDs who make a point of using the Dr because they don't tend to get the respect they deserve from dumb men and it's a way of forcing acknowledgment of their expertise, which is entirely fair.

Chan-jo Jun is a German lawyer who is involved in a case in German courts regarding Twitter refusing to comply with moderation standards laws on hate speech, and Musk just handed him this. It's presumably possible for Musk to gently caress up worse on this topic, but it would take a serious effort.
