    bye bye tesla


    “China’s top EV-maker says its newest cars will charge faster than the average time it takes to decide on a Takis flavor at the rest stop.

    BYD announced it developed chargers that will allow its newest models to fully charge in as little as five minutes (for 250 miles of range). By comparison, the fastest-charging Teslas take at least 15 minutes to get 200 miles’ worth of juice.

    That speed of charging concerns me with the volatility of what these batteries are composed of. What's the accepted fail rate and risk of explosion? Less than 1%?
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Any rate is acceptable since Elon paid the administration to let him fire anyone that would regulate.

    Canadians Turn on Tesla, and It Becomes Physical

    More than 80 Teslas were damaged in Hamilton, Ontario, the police said, amid other acts of vandalism against the company owned by Elon Musk.

    Such a shame.

    Elon went on a rant on Hannity about the violence of the left. did the vandals leave their political party association details at the scene? 

    probably good people on both sides.

    I thought this was going to be a joke.  Not sure it is. 

    In other news, Elon's main "DOGE" staffer provided tech support to criminal enterprises.  

    https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2025-03-26/exclusive-doge-staffer-big-balls-provided-tech-support-to-cybercrime-ring-records-show

    WILMINGTON, Delaware (Reuters) - The best-known member of Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.

    Edward Coristine is among the most visible members of the DOGE effort that has been given sweeping access to official networks as it attempts to radically downsize the U.S. government.

    Past reporting had focused on his youth - he is 19 - and his chosen nickname of "bigballs," which became a pop culture punchline. Musk has championed the teen on his social media site X, telling his followers last month that "Big Balls is awesome."

    Beginning around 2022, while still in high school, Coristine ran a company called DiamondCDN that provided network services, according to corporate and digital records reviewed by Reuters and interviews with half a dozen former associates. Among its users was a website run by a ring of cybercriminals operating under the name "EGodly," according to digital records preserved by the internet intelligence firm DomainTools and the online cybersecurity tool Any.Run.

    They were so fawning and sycophantic that it had to be a parody...but then it never got funny.  Maybe that's the problem.  She's just not funny.

    "Fawning and sycophantic." That's pretty much a third of Americans' attitude towards him.

    Anti-Tezzla and Elongitaint protest in NYC today. Be careful if you attend one near you and be leery of sympathetic looking photographers taking photos with telephoto lenses. Elongitaint’s secret police might be in service and your image might end up in a database for the purpose of an early morning or late night visit or being snatched off the streets to be charged with “terrorism.” You’re being warned.

    A major SpaceX investor testified the company prefers to avoid investors from China because it’s a defense contractor.

    One major exception, he noted: SpaceX finds it “acceptable” for Chinese investors to buy their shares through offshore vehicles.

    Underreported in America. Tesla is in deep shit in Canada. Fed govmnt was ending ecar rebates. Tesla reported sales of 8600 cars in 4 days, to claim $41M in rebates.
    Cars were sold to a holding firm owned by.... Musk.
    Rebates are not being paid. Government is likely suing Tesla Canada. Stay tuned.

    I mean… if they’re legitimate sales, why shouldn’t the rebates need to be paid out? But then, I wonder if Tesla would discount the cars by the appropriate amount to equal the rebate out of the goodness of its heart? Surely the government won’t be issuing these rebates twice, not that I’m by any means close to an expert.

    Underreported in America. Tesla is in deep shit in Canada. Fed govmnt was ending ecar rebates. Tesla reported sales of 8600 cars in 4 days, to claim $41M in rebates.
    Cars were sold to a holding firm owned by.... Musk.
    Rebates are not being paid. Government is likely suing Tesla Canada. Stay tuned.
    I mean… if they’re legitimate sales, why shouldn’t the rebates need to be paid out? But then, I wonder if Tesla would discount the cars by the appropriate amount to equal the rebate out of the goodness of its heart? Surely the government won’t be issuing these rebates twice, not that I’m by any means close to an expert.

    by selling them to himself?

    I don't want to in anyway paint the USA in a bad light, but whys is your government made up of all these low-rent James Bond villain characters. How does that even happen. 

    Like with this. It just felt to obvious that it would be a scam by "Elon himself", but then ofc it is.

    The people running SAAB never* tried to make a coup happen in Sweden.




    * Can not exclude there being such plans by GM after they bought the company ofc.

    Yes. A separate entity also owned by him. 
    But do you think that's really the spirit of the rebate?
