Tesla avoids California sales ban by removing ‘autopilot’ from marketing
Tesla will avoid a 30-day suspension of its dealer and manufacturer licenses in California, its biggest market, after the US electric vehicle maker stopped using the term “autopilot” in the marketing of its vehicles in the state.
Tesla now uses the term “supervised”

Insurance Companies Are Canceling Tesla Cybertruck Coverage Citing Low Production Numbers – Say, “Due to The Limited Production, We’re Unable to Adequately Rate & Underwrite This Vehicle”
Multiple Tesla Cybertruck owners have reported receiving notices that their Cybertruck insurance policies are being canceled due to low production volumes. Insurance companies say the low production numbers make it difficult to assess liability.
Elon Musk’s lobbyists spent tens of thousands of dollars on things like gifts and meals for Texas elected officials this year.
But, in most cases, state transparency laws do not require them to disclose which elected officials they wine and dine.

Tesla has stopped paying some suppliers and others.
"Tesla (TSLA) is not paying its bills and it is destroying small American businesses"
"In Texas, contractors have filed liens for more than $110 million against Tesla in the last five years"
This is Americas future.
The growth of Trumpism.
Contractors and small businesses who supported trump, what are you going to do? Vote them out?

#ElonMusk is the world’s first #trillionaire (on paper) thanks to the #SpaceX #IPO.
As SpaceX goes public, it will dramatically increase Musk’s personal wealth & expand his reach over key parts of the economy. Critics fear his growing influence.
His wealth is astonishing. His stock in SpaceX & #Tesla is valued at more than $1.1 trillion.
#Musk hooked rural customers on #Starlink; Then came the price increases.

Good morning, folks.
My new video is up! It's about Enrico Pucci, a disgraced Australian businessman who used remote functionality in his estranged partner's Tesla to terrorize her. (But don't worry, he got convicted.)
If you enjoy the video, please give it a 'like' since that helps us tiny creators a whole bunch. Thank you.

❝ #Tesla is not a charity. It aims to maximize profits. Tesla builds the Cybercab. It owns the Robotaxi network, the software, the dispatch, and the pricing. It sets the split. If a Cybercab on that network genuinely printed $30,000 a year, why would Tesla hand that money to a stranger instead of keeping every #car for itself?
Companies don’t outsource money machines. They outsource risk. ❞

NBC News: Tesla says first responders may need to push new Cybercab with no steering wheel
Tesla’s emergency guidance tells first responders the robotaxi “can be quickly pushed” to clear a lane but warns that doing it incorrectly risks electric shock and overheating the motor.

If you're going to sieg heil a #Tesla owner, make sure to flip them off. You don't want them thinking you're a fan. 🖕 😅
If it's a #Cybertruck, pointing and laughing is probably sufficient.
Killer subhead. (the headline ain’t bad either)
