Thank you. Did not know I can download the entire Supercharger charging history for the car. Really cool.

Hard to sell mutual funds that underperform (my impression).
Taking on a core asset of the Murdoch empire requires a little dexterity though……..
Is there a background on this 'Craig Irwin' that adds color to his piece on defending Elon ? Who is he?Well, I never thought I'd see this, but Craig Irwin, yes, "That" Craig Irwin, here on Yahoo, defending Tesla!
Elon Musk drug use story 'smells like a hit piece': Analyst
A report from the Wall Street Journal claims that Elon Musk's use of illicit drugs has worried board members and executives from his various companies (Musk claims he is subjected to random drug testing by NASA). Elon Musk recently had a string of controversial statements and moves causing many...finance.yahoo.com

He has been an ambivalent analyst who manages to both see some of Tesla's potential, while consistently coming up with ridiculously low price targets.
"Solving the Money Problem" youtube channel has done several reports that included Craig Irwin. A search through the channel archive might turn up some video coverage of Craig's appearances on news channels critiqued by Steven Mark Ryan.
So what’s an “efficiency package”.

Actually I don’t need or want any proof…I just like pictures of Teslas in scenic spots!

Just looking at the Google examples you provided, I would bet that much of the pushback is being fuelled by professional organizations (such as the Koch set of organizations) that descend onto grass roots organizations that (also) don’t want renewable energy sources (becoming a threat to vested interests).
Heck, I remember reading once where local NIMBY types pushed back against a solar project because it would suck up all the energy from the sun. NC town rejects solar farm, fearing it would suck up all the energy from the sun

There were politicians there claiming the solar panels poisoned the soil under them and made farming it later impossible. More to the point, there is zero wrong, in concept, with offering ESG funds as a choice for your investors. Funds come in flavors to suit pretty much everyone with money to invest. Of course any sane ESG fund manager is going to carefully consider TSLA for its mix. And any sane investor in an ESG is going to look at the mix and reject a fund with, say, Exxon, or tobacco. Those who attack the basic idea of ESG are working against the mission. Attacking poor execution of the concept is fair.

There are places I just can never live, no matter how nice their beaches are. (Not a loner, but some here are).
"Another resident reportedly questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her that solar panels didn't cause cancer."
That package would sell like hotcakes for shure! /s
Already removing parts? I was half kidding!!! (Batteries are a whole other discussion, lol).
So now I'm doubling down on that 2.5M+, this is real data (assuming the reason is to save money vs a speaker shortage). Tesla is not going slow for nothing and I like it. When there's a will there's a way! (Could look bad for stocks until interest rates drop... oh well).
(Edit: Speakers, I'm fine, they don't need more than 4 coaxial where I come from. But the Subwoofer? I would protest it.) Ironically, the Vehicle Audio Design was one of the positions that I directly applied for at Tesla. (I was an installer for way too long in college.)
Seriously, it was overkill. So this was (almost) a smart move long overdue. Cybertruck might have some incredible low-end out of the doors based on rigidity, so I could see it changing a lot for that vehicle.)

Actually, NC was until recent changes in law one of the top states for solar farm installation. People made some big money doing it. But like many, the state is bifurcated politically into urban and rural with the latter dominating the legislature recently.

Excess Speaker movement (Bass) in Tesla Vehicles found to Shorten Range
Sub-woofers and select speakers are being removed on some newer Tesla models. The weight savings (over 100 lbs) in just speaker magnets are the bonus, plus all those magnets were rumored to throw off some telemetry data such as inaccurate or missing "Tire Pressure" (according to two experts familiar with the discovery). Studies showed, at exactly 75 Hz, a wave is set up surrounding the vehicle skins causing turbulence never before recorded until now.
"It has to be a big enough wave - on the order of 135 dB laterally, with some harmonics affecting it as well. Mostly directed under the vehicle giving a ground effect that disturbs the airflow even moreso."
and then later reported "We are working with the EPA to get it right."

This really is ridiculous. It makes all our hair-pulling about ... everything fighting against TSLA ... into perspective.
Here's a post by Cern himself that puts a positive humanist spin on the crazy-tunes economics for TSLA:
The story had intimate knowledge of multiple board members expressing concern, including one who effectively quit the Tesla board because of the issue. It’s likely that at least two board members were sources which would be good enough for any editorial team to proceed with. Most of the story mentions corroborations from multiple people attending the same meetings and parties where Elon was acting irrationally or where Elon was consuming drugs, and also quotes Elon directly about his thoughts on drugs, including that he personally uses ketamine (which although he has a prescription for, is also a popular party drug when consumed in higher quantity).
Stepping back a bit, it should be noted that when recreational drugs are legal, it doesn’t mean people cant have a serious issue with using them that affects there employment & judgement. It doesn’t matter what position you are in, if drugs/alcohol start impacting your work performance then it’s likely to cause serious issues. If you are the CEO of one of the worlds largest publicly listed companies, AND the owner/chief engineer of a major US government space & defense contractor, then it would be no surprise if multiple red flags are raised when you start using drugs in public (either on podcasts or at large parties) and also when you publicly talk about how you use ketamine.
There is an obvious reason if it turns out Elon doesn’t sue the WSJ for defamation.
Occam’s razor guys.
Everyone seems to forget that Elon has often said he constantly shoots himself in the foot. He constantly does dumb stuff, especially when it’s not related to actual company operations.
it isn’t the end of the world if Elon in fact does have a serious drug abuse issue. If that is indeed the case, it can be solved with him seeking treatment to correct the issue.
The 2 words that are synonymous with Craig Irwin is that Tesla is 'egregiously overvalued'
