Spare batteries are pretty key.
How much of his personal wealth is tied up in tesla's stock now? I think I saw in the articles about losing the 55B compensation package that he controls like 15% of the stock, but wants to have 25%?

So about half of his wealth is directly tied to the share price? And the other half is more nebulous?

The most damning thing they say is that it is compromised by its design. That's not engineering, that's engineering around rank stupidity.

You do not need to be able to go 0-60 in 3 seconds in a truck for gently caress's sake. Make it lighter. Make it less powerful. Then it needs fewer batteries, smaller tires, it doesn't need as heavy suspension, no software fuckery to deal with the added weight, the benefits go on and on and on.

I had some dipshit on Reddit tell me that one of the Cybertruck’s selling points would be doing 0-60 in 3s while towing a boat.

let me know how what works out for you when you try that

The electric 18 wheelers they are "developing" (read: making a prototype to ride the funding train) aren't going to work. Why would you change over your whole fleet for a more expensive, lower range option with no infrastructure when diesel exists?

You could make a halfway decent electric consumer-grade towing vehicle but it would be very compromised for most people who actually buy trucks. It would not be huge, covered in chrome, or have a grille like a billboard. It would not be a status symbol. It would be a frame and a very spartan cab and the rest of the gross weight for batteries.

Yesterday, NHTSA's ODI upgraded a preliminary evaluation (begun in July 2023) to a full investigation of the steering components fitted to model-year 2023 Models 3 and Y.

NHTSA's ODI says the problem affects up to 334,569 vehicles, which could suffer a loss of steering control. There have been 124 complaints of steering failure to NHTSA, and the agency says Tesla identified a further 2,264 customer complaints related to the problem. So far, at least one Tesla has crashed as a result of being unable to complete a right turn in an intersection.

A third of the complaints were reported to have happened at speeds below 5 mph, with the majority occurring between 5 and 35 mph and about 10 percent occurring above 35 mph (at least one complaint alleges the problem occurred at 75 mph). "A majority of allegations reported seeing a warning message, 'Steering assist reduced,' either before, during, or after the loss of steering control. A portion of drivers described their steering begin to feel 'notchy' or 'clicky' either prior to or just after the incident," NHTSA's investigation said.

NHTSA says there have been "multiple allegations of drivers blocking intersections and/or roadways," and that more than 50 Teslas had to be towed as a result of the problem.

The new complaint argues that the move from Delaware to Nevada is specifically intended to take advantage of Nevada's “no liability regime,” which will make it harder for shareholders to hold TripAdvisor and Liberty TripAdvisor directors responsible if they breach their duties.

the “oh it’s just an over the air software update” defense is kind of stupid because at the end of the day you don’t see other manufacturers issue a fleet wide recall because they made their safety lights too small. not even sure how that issue would make it out of a safety testing / compliance software test. unless….
