Im an Elon fanboi but this statement right here doesnt sound right. He's got to make it work, or at least pretend to. Thats the whole point. I dare Elon to tweet "Tesla is not my only focus. I cant spend my entire day at Tesla" and hope to get our votes. He wont.

What do you mean "He's got to make it work"?
He already made it work, it's been working for over 20 years, that's how he earned the compensation in the first place.
But none of these affect my original point, the following are facts regardless of whether you think they're right (as in morally good, justified, or acceptable) or not:
1. Those who vote no want a full-time CEO
2. Elon can't be a full-time CEO of Tesla
3. Thus those who vote no want to remove Elon as CEO
Whether you think #2 is right or not is a separate issue, it doesn't affect the conclusion #3.
Seems like they could switch to starlink only when the car is in a rural area where there is no cell coverage.. Could market it as a safety feature for people going out camping/offroading.
Love it. The future should look like the future, and this thing looks badass.Tesla being copied................greatest form of flattery.

Kenworth SuperTruck 2 Is A Hybrid, Bullet Train Of A Semi | Carscoops
Kenworth's SuperTruck 2 is the eco-friendly semi of the future as it features a 48% reduction in dragwww.carscoops.com
The more electric semis being built, the faster the ev transition.
For point #1, I understand that anybody unable to vote (EU...) is registered as a NO vote. This should affect how to interpret the results for conclusion #3.
Oh good, more royalties for Trevor.Tesla being copied................greatest form of flattery.

HL are notorious in overcharging and providing poor customer service. I am in the process of moving all the remainder of my sipp and isa portfolios from them to Freetrade. ( who make voting very easy and also use crest ). Best of luckIm with the same broker (a lot less shares though, not jealous) hopefully H&L can sort it out, if other brokers in the UK/Europe can not sure why they can't, something to do with CREST depositories.
I sent a secure message to them, thinking if they don't allow me to vote I will switch to a broker that can.

An analog circuit would waste power.
A DC-DC converter is really DC-AC-DC.
For galvanic isolation (charging and 120/240 output), they must use transformers.
400V/800V to 48V needs only an inductor; but again, for isolation, a transformer is called for.
What is a full time CEO?
If your CEO is married, are they not full time?
If your CEO goes on vacation, are they not full time?
If they put in 80hrs/ week for your company, do the other 88 matter? (Just a number, not a claim)

Um. I know DC-DC converters; DC-DC converters are friends of mine.
The isolated types do their step-up/step-down business by taking DC current and, using switching transistors, rapidly run current back and forth through the primary of a transformer; the secondary of said transformer has an AC waveform that gets rectified with more switching transistors, and then gets filtered with caps or chokes. This is all done at the highest frequency possible, typically in the 100’s of kHz to MHz. The effects of doing all this at high frequencies shrinks the size of the transformers hugely. A 60 Hz transformer doing 500W might weigh a couple-5 lbs; a DC-DC at that power level might weigh a couple ounces, max, and would consist of some ferrites clamped over a circuit board with the primary/secondary windings simply being traces on the circuit board. 95%+ efficiencies, typical.
The non-isolated types (boost, buck, or boost-buck) have similar efficiencies but, rather than having a transformer, have ferritic inductors for energy storage. These aren’t transformers, per se, but from the outside they look like them. And still use switching transistors (and sometimes diodes, or switching transistors rigged to act like diodes) to get the energy through the inductors.
Main point, though: the voltage/current transformation from low V/high current to high V/low current or vice versa is still using things that sure as heck are transformers or look like them. So I’d give him a pass on that one.
Mind you, it’s possible to build power supplies that go up or down in voltage with nothing but transistors, diodes, and capacitors, foregoing the inductors, but nobody I’m aware of does it that way except for very compact, low power applications. Like RS-232 differential drivers that want to put out +/-12 V starting from 3.3V, but it’s all low current, low power.
Freetrade require a monthly payment for ISA and SIPP, so not for me will stick with H&L for now and hope they sort out the voting issue.
Interesting, thanks for the details. Fits with the idea that AM radio reception might require some quality filtering.

HL charges are actually quite reasonable. I pay fixed fee of £16.66 per month (trade costs are additional but for me I HODL so dont too much care) on funds way over £1m.
I looked at Freetrade which are a little cheaper, for ISA funds to me they look fine, but their SIPP has no flexible drawdown facility - for me this is a deal breaker.
I may look at them for my ISA funds only - are you transferring shares rather than cash on transfer? I would be keen to do that as would not want to be out of market for any period on change of provider.
At least Rarren Wedlich voted For before selling his shares.. ciao

AJ Bell also own US equities via CREST, but voting rights are now being honored there, albeit after pressure applied. This is seemingly a HL issue.Im with the same broker (a lot less shares though, not jealous
I sent a secure message to them, thinking if they don't allow me to vote I will switch to a broker that can.
I'm pressuring HL also to provide me my voting rights.
It is a person who is not simultaneously the CEO of other companies but commits their full working time to the company they are CEO of. A few extracurricular activities, like board or organization memberships may be allowed by the CEO's board/chairman, if they are seen to benefit the company. What the CEO does in their personal life / freetime is not an issue. Vacation rights are established in the employment agreement.

in some markets you can do this.
in UK its pretty much what I did last year with my M3P - ordered from inventory on Friday, finance approved same day (nothing happened at weekend), insurance sorted on Monday and picked up on the Tuesday. Had weekend and diary commitments not been in the way, I could have technically picked it up the day after I ordered it.

I think its perfectly fair to love TSLA (I do!) and admire and support Elon (I do!) but still think its ridiculous how many companies he is apparently running. Twitter was definitely a step too far. I love that he changed what he did there, but I'd be happier if he could both sell his twitter stock (and rebuy Tesla), and step away entirely from that one.
I don't think Elon will ever quit Tesla or SpaceX. They are companies he fought so hard for in their early years. But if he announced he is stepping away from neuralink, boring company and twitter, I think most of us would consider that a wise move.

I agree that people don't pay attention. However, not only have I ridden a motorcycle, in 4 countries, I have been in a truck that has ridden over and through a motorcycle and driver, a rather disgusting fatality. I have personally seen 3 motorcycle accidents, 2 the fault of the cars/trucks once the motorcyclist. People don't pay attention and we all know it. Anybody in a donor cycle knows that, also..IMO many donor cyclists often engage in risky behavior- looking at the rice rocket crowd. I would put the homicidal maniac moniker on the person that deliberately gets on a motorcycle when alternatives are available.
