This is a fascinating rundown of the numbers Tesla has to hit for Elon M to get his trillion dollars. It does not seem likely? www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/t...

I was so against the 1T pay package for Musk because he’s been a terrible human and I hoped he would leave Tesla. A lot of people are talking about it like as if he’s going to get $1T immediately, or that there isn’t a mountain of work to be done to get the money, which is in stocks not cash. 😕

Wanna fight climate change? don’t just protest. don’t just rely on the government. don’t just think someone else will do what you need to do. Stop driving a Gas car. Buy an EV, install a charger st home, put up solar panels. in our society we need to adjust our consumption to make change.

Don’t want Musk to get his trillion? Don’t just protest or rant Don’t just boycott his products Actually buy competing EVs, robots, energy products, social media, AI etc. Encourage and support competing companies to innovate more quickly. otherwise you’re just allowing more of the same.

just gonna put this out there: even if Tesla somehow got rid of its stigma by 2027, and successfully bring down the price of its humanoid bot to $20k USD, and made it able to fold laundry and make dinner — my wife would still not let me buy it.

I have 3 service appointments coming up for 3 vehicles. 2 for maintenance and have recalls. 1 is to fix a screwup from earlier service. How do I convey to them that it is important for them all to get it right this one time and order all the parts now? — without sounding like a nagging parent?

is there a market for a 2 seater, non-roadster, in America? — given that 2 door hatchbacks have never sold well here. for the European market, is this thing as small as a Fiat Topolino? It’s also not very “cute”.

great, an AI powered back seat driver. 😂 and maybe it’s just me but these are not the kind of conversations I have when I’m driving. 9to5google.com/2025/11/05/g...

sigh. thankfully all the doggy twitter accounts I use to follow over there have come here to BlueSky. Alas the supposed “Tesla friends” have not. whatever that means about them… i miss the camaraderie of the original climate change mission.

Q: I understand the pivot to AI and Robotics, but what is Tesla’s strategy to pay for continued R&D for products that are years out if there’s no clear strategy for revenue from its automotive and energy business? $TSLA #TSLA

@kiwiev.bsky.social this could be you! lancasteronline.com/features/ent...

how come there aren’t stickers that say “Old Driver” or “Careful Driver”, or “Easily Distractible Driver”, or “On my phone” or …

for me? literally every time

Kids or anyone getting hurt or killed by a car is a tragedy. However, there seems to be a belief that heavier vehicles are more deadly when anyone can get hurt or killed by vehicles of any weight… 2800 Lbs Toyota Corolla or 14,500 lbs School Bus.

I wish the article and study went into what kind of friendly interactions… because of course friends = less loneliness, it’s are certain types of interactions that really make a difference. newatlas.com/health-wellb...

@kiwiev.bsky.social have you had a chance to test drive a CyberTruck yet, while you’re in the US?

oh joy. 🤨 3 out of 4 Windows computers in the house started having issues. 1 of which took down its Linux partition. All the Macs work fine. Time to think about getting rid of Windows again. 😞

Gasoline cars are basically 50-liter rolling bombs we’ve all agreed to sit on. 🔥 Meanwhile, EVs are out here catching fewer fires than politicians telling the truth. 1,530 fires per 100k gas cars vs just 25 for EVs, almost zero for #LFP. The only thing burning are the myths. ⚡🚗 #EV #Safety #Firesafe

Rivian New York Times Square Halloween event is happening and there's a bunch of awesome R1 wrapped in Halloween and free Gear Guard tote bags!

Spotted over at Reddit, spooky stickered up purple Rivian Tri Maxes. 👀👀👀 Link: www.reddit.com/r/Rivian/s/0...

found a friend had parked next to me at softball :)

😮🥴 would hate to have to service this thing… or replace a component

just saw the iPhone Air in person. if i ever needed a 2nd phone, maybe that would be it. it’s lighter than I expected :)

as someone who has taken this test and passed 100%: Fine make it harder, administer it to every “American”, every 10 years with the census, along with a drivers license re-exam. www.npr.org/2025/10/16/n...

interesting read, in a nice entertaining layout evwire.com/evsales2025h1

um, there’s been glowing reviews for the new Leaf and Bolt, and that’s great… but all they did was update the hardware to today’s standards and make sure not to charge an arm and a leg. Doesn’t it seem like it shouldn’t be such a big whoop?

😮 next available Tesla service appointment near me is 23 to 48 days from now!

oh eBay. how I love and loath thee. there's no way to leave a negative review on a buyer who tries to skip out on paying, reviews come out "positive". sigh.

what I said in my Mobile Service Completion Survey. 😕

hm. wouldn’t it be nice if Tesla paid FSD HW3 owners a monthly fee to be stuck on Version 12? 😅

Of the million cool things about the PV5, my favorite is the fact that it is the first time an OEM has designed for full wheelchair accessibility from the get-go, and how that's led to benefits for everyone who buys this vehicle.

It just looks so good underground… Rivian R1S.

imho the lower cost Model Y looks better than the regular Y because it doesn’t have the light bar in the front, and the black patch on the back.

Edmunds put the Lucid Gravity vs the Rivian R1S. Link: buff.ly/B9VvCzS

and someone else got an Acura ZDX! too bad they’re discontinuing it. Long Live EVs!

I shouldn’t be surprised as this is Northern Virginia but someone bought an G580 EQ!!!

Maybe I’m starting to become a luddite but paying $20 per month for a browser, even AI ladened, seems excessive to me. Also, if I need to double check AI’s results, what’s the point? Yes, I know this product might be useful for some and just not for me… www.macrumors.com/2025/09/30/o...

instead of bragging about how much energy and money it’s costing us to chase AI, perhaps we ought to start valuing efficiency?

the worst thing I did/can do as a caregiver is go on Linkedin and see where my peers have risen to.
