Elon Musk and the Tesla shareholder who won a verdict last month voiding the CEO's $56 billion pay package will ask a judge to pause her ruling until an appeal is resolved, according to a Tuesday letter to the court from the shareholder's attorney.
Greg Varallo, the shareholder's attorney, said the two sides will agree to a stay if they can reach a deal on an appeal bond.
The letter is the first indication that Musk intends to appeal the ruling, which the billionaire has criticized on social media, saying he will seek shareholder approval to move Tesla's state of incorporation to Texas, where it has its headquarters.
That seems to make it clear that somebody, maybe Dan O'Clown, wanted this incident listed on the NHTSA reports so that they can point to it and say FSD was involved in a death. (I think the whole basis of the NHTSA data indicating that ADAS was in use sometime within the 30 seconds preceding the collision is ridiculous. 30 seconds is a long time, and depending on the situation it could be very clear that ADAS wasn't involved even though it had been active 30 seconds ago.)Confirmation from Tesla's VP of Public Policy and Business Development that FSD Beta was not downloaded to the car in the accident:
Tesla itself submitted the report like that because the NHTSA SGO is very broad:That seems to make it clear that somebody, maybe Dan O'Clown, wanted this incident listed on the NHTSA reports so that they can point to it and say FSD was involved in a death.

"Engaged,” for the purpose of determining whether the ADS or Level 2 ADAS on the subject vehicle was “engaged,” includes crashes in which an attempt was made to engage an ADAS or ADS to transfer partial or full control to an ADAS or ADS system, even if the attempt is rejected, aborted, or underway during the 30 seconds immediately prior to the commencement of the crash through the conclusion of the crash.
Probably part of the reason Hertz reduced it EV rental fleet. A lot of confusion and ignorance among customers. Especially the rental return process and you are not used to buying out 20 minutes of time to recharge before returning the vehicle.Interesting poll on EV experience by Consumer reports:
- 64% of respondents don´t know anyone who has an EV and have never driven one or even gotten a ride
- 'Out of U.S. buyers who expect to buy a new vehicle for their next purchase, roughly 38 percent would seriously consider purchasing an EV.'
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. consumers still have little experience with EVs

The next paragraph tells me the reason...
Thanks!Everything I have read indicated "PepsiCo purchased".
What if Tesla provided a wall and tagged it themselves ‘This space for artists. The piece that represents Tesla the best will be used in a marketing campaign.’ Or some such - what about an artist per charging stall can do their art on the pavement? Free advertising and an aspiring artist/s gets rewarded. The possibilities are endless. Turn vandalism into an opportunity to do better and have a better life.I saw that local artwork. I think it would be cool if Tesla saved some of the wall, or recreate a part of the art in lights/hologram. Would be an inclusive move.
Vote to pick the best one, keep that one around I say.

64%? Who answered this survey!? Sixty-nine people from the bayou or Ozarks without Starlink?Interesting poll on EV experience by Consumer reports:

Thanks for the pointer to this video as it led me to this:
... not to draw a conclusion that 2/3 are yet untapped or that .64 x .38 = 24% upside if they only knew more.Interesting poll on EV experience by Consumer reports:

Also... what the hell is New York's problem with poverty? The irony here!!!... not to draw a conclusion that 2/3 are yet untapped or that .64 x .38 = 24% upside if they only knew more.
It is also possible that 64% of the population cannot afford a new vehicle (ever, in their minds) or that knowing about EVs changes anything when compared to existing buyers. Maybe we could say that this introduces 0-24% upside with some first-hand experience, but I would skew it to the lower end due to poverty.
For example, here's a group of folks that will likely only robotaxi EVs in the future once costs get down to 5 cents a mile (SWAG but not far fetched, plus "5c a Mile" would look cool on the side of them).

If true, that only <40% of people are aware of EVs, and Tesla has >4% US market share (CNCDA data end of 2023), then Tesla effectively has >10% market shareInteresting poll on EV experience by Consumer reports:

All part of the Elon "lifting the kimono" masterplan.So now Tesla might be on the hook for billions in legal fees? Tell me again how not everything is rigged and corupt...
