do some googling on what Elon's company does with animal brains / implants and how many animals get chips implanted and suffer before being euthanized. I'm not against animal research and the monkey story was nasty ... but let's please not pretend Elon gives to eff's about animal welfare...

have you driven a Cadillac Lyriq?
Same price as Model Y AWD ... and unless you are obsessed with 0-60 ... hard to see any points (other than charging networks - and that is changing) going in favor of the Model Y. Definitely not ride comfort, road noise, luxury and service support...
Some have this fantasy that Musk is like a Tony Stark type person when in reality he’s more Lex Luthor.
No, no the charging problem is not changing. Non-Tesla charging networks are basically unusable for distance travel. Unreliable, slow, expensive, etc.
Congratulations Elon for that wonderful graph, now compare that to the TSLA stock graph!
I'm so glad the twitter overhang is finally over and we got the TSLA relief rally that got us back to the point before his share dumping started in late April.
* checks TSLA price*
Oh, nevermind...
It is great that he is sharply focused on the mission -- using Twitter as his political mouthpiece, that is

Didn't GM make like only 250 of those?

Any new supercharger built with Infrastructure money will need to be accessible for CCS vehicles...
how many Cybertrucks has Tesla produced lately?

Tesla doesn’t need Parmesan crumbs from daddy .gov anymore.
aaah. Elon specifically stated the goal of opening up superchargers... my guess is as good as yours on why the sudden change of mind. hint: billions in free government money - to which Tesla never ever said no in its history.

This is why Elon should sell another $20B of TSLA. He needs to stay focused on the mission.
It also means selling relatively close to the ATH. (Only factor of 2 off.)
initially Tesla had:
- vehicle specs (range/ performance/ charging speed)
- no competition (nothing out there competing with them)
- charging network
as selling points.
now this is down to:
- but the competition can't produce enough of them!!
- charging network
not very future proof unless Tesla improves service support/ build quality/ vehicle appearance for the price point ...

I'm not on Mastodon but isn't it server-based like Discord? You only see what is on the servers that you have joined. Social-silo media seems like a trend.
It's federated, which means that anyone can follow anyone on any server. Servers set their own moderation policies, so some of them are friendly places, and some of them are not. It's easy to avoid the 4chan crowd by blocking their servers, or not engaging with them.

Which is why I want Elon's excellent engineering and design mind focused on TSLA and not rage-tweeting against twitters advertisers

You can see posts and interact with other people from any server that is not blocked. Some right wing sites use the Free and open source code of Mastodon. Those sites are generally blocked from the 4,000 other Mastodon servers. I joined the Mathstodon.xyz server after my application was reviewed by a human and accepted. I was quite surprised by all of the interesting, friendly, and polite people I found there. Each server is like a home neighborhood but you are not confined to it.
You can search for "about Mastodon" to find articles explaining the basics. Currently it is free and there are no ads. Interest in Mastodon has soared recently so there is no shortage of articles about it. I think there are about 2 million Mastodon users. I hope growth does not ruin it.
Edit: I'm reminded of when (back in the 1990s) I set up an NNTP server at a college where I was teaching to create chatrooms for all the classes.

What exactly has Elon engineered?
I really want to know because I keep reading that he’s not an engineer but a salesman and advertisement specialist…..

Elon is an engineer and scientist and has shown himself to be an excellent manager and business person. Many articles have gone into his deep involvement in the nitty gritty details of engineering and production. The growth of Tesla has shown that he is a remarkable business manager who is able to recruit and motivate top people.
Shame that he seems to have strayed from his areas of expertise into "social media" quagmire.
(Perhaps it's his autism which makes him so good at engineering and management and simultaneously so bad at "social".)

He's been key in all kinds of work including: Phase Reluctance Electric motors in Teslas, Octovalve and superpump integrated heating/cooling design, Raptor Space-X methane dual-regenerative rocket engines, use of stainless-alloy metal skins instead of carbon-composite for Starship re-entry heat sheild... and yes before you rant, there were of course other smart people involved on the projects.
