It's all well and good to close down travel to Europe. The problem is that America is likely the largest COVID19 hotspot in the world and it's simply not recognized yet due to lack of testing and lack of public healthcare.

Getting off google is kind of It's like getting vaccinated. What they're already up to with your personal information is bad enough, you really don't want to be surprised later.

Hey look everyone! Someone who didn't read the article!

Nobody is copying your license plate. A proper analogy is to measure each and every part down to the atom and reproduce it in a 3D printer. Then slap your own plate on it. You've been deprived of nothing and there is no cost to you.

While this one facility will not suddenly shut down all the thermal generation in California, it is one step in enabling more renewable penetration into the market. As more and more such facilities are constructed and proven, renewables will continue making greater and greater inroads in the energy mix. It wasn't all that long ago that many, many individuals were all over this and other comment boards screaming that the very thing that's going on now was/is impossible.

Yup. Everything has an expected life, engines, turbines, fuel cells and yes, batteries... Investors look at how much can be made during operational life. When the economics dictate upgrades or rebuilds then that's what happens. We now have a lot of real world data about how battery cells are preforming and a lifespan of 20-30 years is easily expected. After which, the cells can be recycled back into more cells.

It's not at all clear that you 'die' if you enter a transporter. If one was to take apart their car, pack all the pieces in a crate, ship it halfway around the world then reassemble all the pieces in a new location, we would not consider it a different car.

Well colour me shocked. After years of watching supposedly intelligent analysts and their interpretation of Tesla's stock (on both sides) I'm on board with our new robot stock market overlords.

Between Nikola and Fisker they've got the market cornered on design concepts and renderings. Maybe time to think about shipping a product. Also, this hydrogen network was announced years ago and their own deadline has already come and gone and they still have yet to install a single, solitary hydrogen pump. Not surprising when you actually look at the economics of hydrogen. I guess that's why they need such a large battery pack: cover up the flaws of hydrogen.

Tesla then needs to refund the original owner -OR- if the original owner buys a new Tesla, FSD should be included for free -OR- FSD should transfer with the car. Otherwise the original owner purchased FSD which was never delivered before the car was sold. Then even the potential for FSD on that vehicle was subsequently removed by Tesla. If Tesla wants to claim that the rights to FSD are with individual and not the vehicle, then they need to include FSD on every Tesla the owner may purchase in perpetuity, because that individual has paid Tesla for it. If this is the case then I have no problem with Tesla disabling FSD for an owner that never paid for it. However, I doubt this is the case. I suspect that Tesla wants to have its cake and eat it too.

Honestly, I'm generally a huge Tesla fan but the company does do some really scummy things and this is one of them. I personally would not purchase FSD unless it reaches at least lvl 4 capability and can basically drive you door to door on it's own outside of the worst conditions. However, considering that could take years and apparently will be disabled if you transfer ownership of said vehicle anyway, why would anyone choose to give Tesla $8,000+ for an option that's years overdue, won't add resale value and probably still years away?

Remember when the ipad or the iphone or the ipod was introduced? Those were innovative products. How many years ago were those products released? What's next Apple? Or are we just in a holding pattern now where Apple just releases a more expensive iphone periodically?

Hey, how many years has it been since the forums were filled with people who stridently insisted that renewable energy couldn't make up more than ~25% of a nations energy mix? Oh, right. People are still claiming it can't be done.

So a petition if filed by an individual who is shorting the stock and doesn't even seem to own a Tesla? By all means, investigate. If there's something afoot then it needs to be fixed. I, however, fully expect that any investigation will quickly uncover driver error as the cause.... As it is in 99% of all unintended acceleration cases.
