"Tesla on autopilot involved in single car crash, explodes into million pieces"

Dude, you’re famous! This post was dissected on Tesla Daily tonight!
White House aides asked Elon Musk for help with Biden climate goal
Senior White House officials asked Elon Musk during a private meeting last month for Tesla to make its extensive charging network available for use by other electric vehicles, seeking to enlist the bombastic billionaire in their efforts to push along a clean energy revolution, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting.
John Podesta and Mitch Landrieu, two top aides tasked with implementing the sprawling clean energy packages approved by Congress earlier in President Biden’s term, met with Musk and other Tesla officials at the company’s D.C. office on Jan. 27. Tesla officials expressed openness toward working with the administration on doing more to open its charging networks but made no firm commitments, the people said.
….
The meeting put administration officials in the potentially uncomfortable position of asking Musk — who has repeatedly sparred with Biden and other top Democrats, and whose rocket business, SpaceX, is a major contractor with NASA — for help making progress on its goal of building a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers. Biden has at points declined to cite Tesla as an important U.S. automaker because of its resistance to unionization efforts, eliciting rebukes from the Tesla CEO.

Dude! This implies ~2.1M production in 2023, and ~3.3M in 2024 (at a growth rate of 58.75%)

Hummer bummer.
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24421539/236523_Hummer_EV_EHall_0005.jpg)
If you want an EV that makes sense, you should not buy the GMC Hummer EV. If you want an EV that’s affordable, you should not buy the GMC Hummer EV. If you want an EV that’s efficient or luxurious, you should not buy the GMC Hummer EV.
Is there any reason to spend $110,000 on this ghastly behemoth? I spent a week trying to figure it out, and frankly, I’m still left wondering.
…
[Off Road Mode] enables smooth power delivery and sets the rear wheels to turn out of phase with the front for increased maneuverability. The only bummer here is it also adds a fake engine noise. … At least give me the option to turn that fake stuff off.
…
GMC has reached the point of diminishing returns when it comes to battery size and weight. It’s some 2,000 pounds or so heavier than the Rivian R1T, thanks to that giant battery, but doesn’t even return significantly more range.
….
It’s tough to justify spending $110,000, including $1,595 for delivery, on an EV that is so grossly inefficient.

I noticed that it also now lists non-Tesla chargers that I had visited previously.
Why is this in the article?
I will give you 3 guesses ....and the first two don't count.
Man, I hate what passes for journalism today.
This thing is an obscenity, an abomination. I'm already concerned that 80% of Cybertrucks will be used primarily for grocery runs and soccer kid transport, when a much more efficient M3 or MY would suffice. But this is off the charts, and subverts the mission.Hummer bummer.

Let's keep our eyes on the prize, people.
Maybe Tesla's new hotshot lawyer has his first case.
One of Tesla’s biggest critics is funding a Super Bowl ad against it
California tech entrepreneur Dan O’Dowd, who has already poured millions of his own money into a campaign to get Tesla’s Full Self-Driving tech banned from public roads, is funding a Super Bowl commercial that will play in D.C. and a handful of state capitals, including Austin, Tallahassee, Albany, Atlanta and Sacramento.
The ad shows a Tesla Model 3 that O’Dowd says has Full Self-Driving turned on running into a child-sized mannequin, crossing over the centerline into oncoming traffic, driving past “do not enter” signs, passing a school bus with its flashing stop lights on and hitting a stroller in the road.

Hey, how did O'Dowd hack into my FSD recordings?

The elections are over, his protected status by "running" for office should be over as well. Time to sue this dolt into oblivion.
That's what 80% of trucks are used for now. I don't see that changing. The 3 and Y are great, but they don't have the same utility--even if it's only used a few times a year.

Tesla's just launched a new online configurator for Solar Panels and Solar Roof. It's got some interesting new features, including telling you how many of your neighbors have Tesla Solar, recommended "current needs" and "future needs" system sizes, and an estimate of your savings over 25 years:
