NEW: Activists from across Germany & Europe are gathering in #Grünheide, near Berlin, to protest against #Tesla & support the local residents in their fight against the planned expansion of Tesla's Gigafactory. They fear deforestation & water shortage among other negative consequences for the community. Preparations have started in a self-organized camp for a long weekend of action.

Layoffs are hitting workers at some tech giants like Google, Microsoft and Tesla. Here’s why that may backfire, explains Business Insider’s Tim Paradis. "In short, the effects of layoffs can counter the financial benefits of expenses carved out of a P&L."

With more than 25,000 charging ports in the U.S. and over 50,000 worldwide, Tesla’s Supercharger network is the undisputed king of EV fast charging. But with the recent layoffs, CEO Elon Musk “cast a cloud over the private infrastructure project.” Read more from TechCrunch: https://flip.it/KJAelX

Tesla charging chief Rebecca Tinucci cut 15-20% of her team after Musk demanded it.
She felt that would justify a major Supercharger network expansion, but when she met with Musk he wanted more layoffs. When she pushed back, he fired the whole team.

LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway are fake news.
Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 🫠.
Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

#Tesla to #recall 125,227 vehicles over faulty seat belt warning system
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the vehicles failed to comply with the federal safety requirements as their seat belt warning light and audible chime may not get activated when the driver is unbelted

“Some of #Tesla's institutional shareholders are getting out, convinced that the electric carmaker's days of dizzying growth are in the rear-view mirror.
The company's shares are down nearly 30% this year and have fallen by more than 50% since their 2021 high, wiping out some $600 billion in market value as CEO Elon #Musk has struggled with fierce competition and falling sales. Tesla's first-quarter results missed analyst expectations…”

Are Elon Musk’s toxic antics alienating Tesla’s key buyers? While Tesla is arguably still the go-to electric vehicle brand worldwide, in California, the largest car market in the U.S., registration of Tesla vehicles has reportedly dropped by a massive 24 percent between April and June — the third straight quarter that sales have fallen in the state. Futurism has more.

One of Germany’s largest employers announces to boycott #Tesla because of Elon Musk’s behaviour:
"Elon Musk makes no secret of his support for Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a hoax - this stance is in stark contrast to Tesla's mission to contribute to environmental protection through the production of electric cars
For this reason, ROSSMANN will no longer purchase Tesla vehicles for its fleet in the future."

Teslas are surveillance on wheels. Bay Area police increasingly check to see if there was a Tesla in the vicinity of a crime so they can get access to the footage from its cameras.
If you see a Tesla, it’s probably filming you — and more automakers are doing it too.

First time charging EV in my life LOL
Taycan Cross Turismo x Tesla Supercharger in Provincetown
Started with 57% state of charge and battery temperature never reached optimal range during the 19 mins of charging 🤣 but it reached 150kw within 10 seconds. The supercharger is capable of 250kw delivery and Taycan is capable of 350kw charging. Unfortunately we didn’t reach the fastest charging speed on either of these.
57% to 85% in 19 mins. Not bad. This is enough to drive one way between Boston and Provincetown. The location could be better - it’s a bit too far out from town, I bet the nearby Harbor hotel can set up a bar to accommodate (make money from) EV owners.
At least it’s only steps away from a beautiful beach and great views of the Pilgrim Monument.

“#Tesla shares tumbled in premarket trading Friday morning after investors took a lukewarm view of the debut of the company's new automated Cybercab concept vehicle the day before.
Shares dropped 5.8% before U.S. markets opened, according to CNBC. One Barclays analyst threw cold water on the presentation, saying it failed to offer any near-term opportunities for the electric automotive giant.”

The Tesla supercharger v4 (could be v3.5) at Augusta ME is up and running, with MagicDock meaning all EVs with CCS1 charge port can charge there.

Playing fetch during charging break…
I felt so dumb that I forgot to change the unit back to imperial on the charging app after coming back to the US. It says the range was enough for 260km but I misread it as 260miles and stopped charging. As I started navigating to our house the car added another charging stop…
So after we had some food, we had to charge 7 more mins 🫠
And the new Tesla supercharger at Augusta ME is v3.5 meaning it has v4 dispensers but v3 cabinets. So high voltage cars still won’t get full power from the charging station.

“US govt’s road safety agency is investigating #Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system after getting reports of crashes in low-visibility conditions, incl one that killed a pedestrian.
National Highway Traffic Safety Admin says in docs that it opened the probe on Thur after the co. reported 4 crashes when Teslas encountered sun glare, fog & airborne dust.
In addition to the pedestrian’s death, another crash involved an injury” https://apnews.com/article/tesla-full-self-driving-investigation-pedestrian-killed-f2121166d60d85bd173a734c91049e73?taid=671242f1056fdc0001106b75&utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter
“I understand that Musk is on the wrong side of the line for many people, including myself. But the desire to cancel is so hard for me to understand.”
How were you cancelled, Jesse? Did you experience any real consequences? Or does being cancelled just mean your fee-fees were hurt?
