“I understand that this period of change may be challenging and that patience is not easy when expecting to be paid, however, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your understanding and support as we navigate through this transition.”
A modest proposal for keeping people outside of #cars alive by Dan Marshall @streetsmn
"I’d start with installing Great Big #Bollards at all bus shelters. The fact that we don’t protect #transit shelters tells us everything we need to know about modern American morality... Streetlights, signs and stoplights are all built w breakaway bolts to protect drivers and minimize vehicle damage when hit"
I don’t often share the fanblogs, but this is a good look behind the scenes: Elon Musk has been absent from Tesla for the past year, but now he’s reasserting himself by doing mass layoffs with little regard for the effects on the business. It’s a mess.
“the report called out Tesla as an “industry outlier” because its driver assistance features lacked some of the basic precautions taken by its competitors. ”

i don't know what the hell people think is so great about the #Tesla aesthetic. they look like Mazda Miatas with a headache. then there's the spyware.
people are actually paying an apartheid-loving douche $60-$75,000 for a snitching Miata with an exploding headache and doors that won't open easily?
Is this for real? Did Elon just lay off #Tesla’s entire Supercharger business division?
“Rebecca Tinucci, senior director of the electric vehicle maker's Supercharger business, and Daniel Ho, head of the new vehicles program, will leave on Tuesday morning, the report said.
Musk also plans to dismiss everyone working for Tinucci and Ho, including the roughly 500 employees who work in the Supercharger group, The Information said. It was not clear how many employees worked for Ho.”
The Supercharger system is probably Tesla’s most beloved and successful product. What is going on?
“Musk lays off Tesla senior executives in fresh job cuts, The Information reports”
“Sources familiar with the matter told Electrek that Tesla backed out of four leases for upcoming Supercharger locations in New York: one in Maspeth, South Bronx, two in Queens, and one in Gateway Center, Brooklyn.”
