@RPHFGO @ICannot_Enough Not necessarily, Tesla sells in China now and competes very well.

@ICannot_Enough If US opens to China manufacturers Tesla will bleed to death. That’s real.

2 years ago: "Elon destroyed the Tesla brand globally! It'll never recover!" Today: #1 selling EV in California: Tesla Model Y #1 selling EV in the U.S.: Tesla Model Y #1 selling EV in Europe: Tesla Model Y #1 selling EV in China: Tesla Model Y

@Julie_Bayley_ @Starlink @grok what will £35 monthly subscribers being paying in £'s from June (got a feeling it will be £40 for us UK users)

Just had an email that my @Starlink monthly cost is changing from £35 pm to $40 pm here in the UK 🇬🇧…That’s currently about £30.02 pm for 100 Mbps…so even cheaper! Really pleased I changed over from EE here in Cumbria TBH as it’s faster & more secure too! 🛜👊🏼

For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility “I was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering. Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way. Recently upgrading to the Model Y – along with Full Self-Driving – has been a complete game changer for me. It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me. Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.” – John F.

@TeslaJigsaw Wow!

🚨 Tesla just dropped a major UK renewable energy bundle! For just £199/month (with a £1,747 deposit over 4 years at 0% interest), Tesla owners can get an 8-panel solar installation + Powerwall 3, fully fitted and installed. Non-Tesla owners can still access quotes via BOXT, but the best rates are reserved for those in the Tesla ecosystem. Pair it with a Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive lease at £295/month and you’re looking at £494/month total for the car, solar, and home battery — effectively joining the full renewable loop. Extra perks highlighted: • Charge your Tesla on your own solar (huge win with petrol prices climbing) • Powerwall + solar owners reportedly save ~£1,450/year on energy** • Fixed installation costs, hassle-free process through BOXT • It can even go as low as £99/month depending on your setup This bundles Tesla’s EV leadership with home energy storage and solar, while the company (now a licensed electricity supplier in Great Britain via Tesla Energy Ventures) scales up Megapacks (already over 1GWh deployed in the UK) to support the grid. A smart way to lock in lower running costs for both home and wheels. Details at BOXT.co.uk/tesla What do you think — game changer for UK households?

@DrunkAt12 @elonmusk Tesla sells very well in China, where they do have a lot of competition from Chinese EVs!

@elonmusk Actually that is EV loyalty. The other EV brands available in the US are too new for happy owners to be buying their next one. If Chinese EV competitors existed in the US, Tesla would be way, way down.

@BigYuriNator @KateFantom @BenGrahamUK Try reading this as it explains nicely how we know the warming is due to humans and this site links to the peer reviewed science:- skepticalscience.com/climate-change…

@KateFantom @BenGrahamUK Co2 doesn’t damage earth. Climate change is natural and happening slowly as we still come out of a mini ice age. In 100 years it will get cooler again. But of course, the money will have been laundered and we’d all be long gone by then.

Britain produces <1% of global CO₂. China: 30%. US: 14%. India: rising fast. We’ve already cut emissions 50%+ since 1990. Now we’re paying more for energy, shutting our own gas, and relying on wind/solar which are unreliable. Even if Britain hit net zero tomorrow, global emissions barely move. Build nuclear. Use our oil & gas. Lower costs.

The internet is convinced “diesel is back” and “diesel is the future” after seeing a few headlines, and making up their own stories. You can tell a lot about a company by how it reacts when the market moves on without them. Stellantis are the first legacy car maker to accept that they have got it wrong, and have given up. In 2025, Battery Electric Vehicles made up 19.5% of all car sales in Europe, up 4.1% year-on-year, and will grow again throughout 2026. But here’s the interesting part👇🏼 If you look at the top 25 best-selling BEVs across Europe, only ONE Stellantis vehicle made the list. The Citroën e-C3, which is their budget EV. When you zoom out to brand performance across EV sales: • Peugeot ranked 13th • Citroën ranked 16th • Opel ranked 19th • Leapmotor ranked 24th Meanwhile, they were comfortably outsold by Volkswagen Group brands like Skoda & Audi, Tesla, and even BMW, which wasn’t far behind the entire Stellantis portfolio combined. So you’d expect the reaction here to be “let’s build better electric cars.” Instead, Stellantis has quietly reintroduced diesel versions of some of its most popular models like the Peugeot 308 and DS No.4. This is despite diesel making up just 7.7% of the European market in 2025 (and falling), and just 5.33% in the UK. We are literally watching legacy manufacturers try to re-enter a shrinking market, rather than compete in the one that’s growing, because they have accepted that they can’t. Demand for electrification isn’t slowing down, but some boardrooms clearly haven’t figured that out yet. Build better EVs or get left behind, like Stellantis.

@DaveKent101 @rhaetional @BarackObama @grok Climate scientists know the past CO2 peaks. It's the rate of change that's important, and currently that rate is unprecedented.

@rhaetional @BarackObama @grok Seriously?🤔 Yet C02 was much higher in the past. In Pliocene times the level was 0.11%. Perhaps the Mammoths and Sabre tooth’s were driving diesel cars and heating their homes via coal powered power stations?

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

@CuriousAboutEVs @KonstantinKisin Here here, spot on. I wish this point was put up as the counter argument more often!

Whoever is ranting in this video seems blissfully unaware that Britain's high electricity prices are due to a dumb market design where the price of all power is set by the marginal cost of gas. While gas sets the price, renewables already dominate generation; if the market were decoupled to separate gas from green energy, consumer prices would drop to reflect the lower cost of renewables.

Net Zero is economic suicide. It must go.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today. Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

@kaninikanaps @TheBritishIntel @grok could the UK government block a VPN?

@TheBritishIntel I don't believe signing up to Starlink could avoid an X ban by the government though. You would need a VPN, but the government could also block those.

🚨🇬🇧 STARLINK UNDERCUTS BT AND VIRGIN WITH £35 BROADBAND PLAN Starlink has launched a £35 a month broadband tier in the UK, beating BT and Virgin on price and offering 80–100Mbps with unlimited data. For rural Britain abandoned by fibre rollouts, this is a serious upgrade and a direct challenge to the telecoms cartel. When competition arrives, prices fall. Funny how that works. This may be needed if Starmer goes ahead with an X ban in the UK - keep this bookmarked for updates!

@Steviec1485 @SawyerMerritt You don't pay tax on unrealised gains (like stock). You pay it when you sell it. He sold stock in 2021 and paid a little over 50% in tax ($11B).

@SawyerMerritt He’s done all of that. But his wealth is increasing because Tesla stock has increased 4 fold in a few years. His sales have not increased 4 fold. Nor his products. He may have paid 11 billion but on how much income? What’s his effective rate?

I think people need to reframe the conversation around Elon’s “net worth.” As his net worth approaches $1 trillion, it’s important to understand the bigger picture. Elon earned his wealth the right way: by building companies and creating products and services that people genuinely love, while generating enormous shareholder value. He didn’t steal. He didn’t cheat. He built and created. Elon isn’t accumulating wealth to buy yachts, houses, or vacations. His capital is primarily a tool to pursue outcomes he believes are best for humanity’s long-term future, most notably making life multi-planetary. Building on Mars will be expensive, and much of Elon's wealth will ultimately go towards that, but he’s also investing heavily here on Earth, having created over 600,000 jobs so far across his companies and supply chains. Elon is the best capital allocator in the world, and has created multiple world-changing technologies that have benefited humanity. That’s why it’s ironic when some people say he should pay more taxes (almost all of his wealth is unrealized stock gains), because that capital would simply be redirected to the government, one of the worst capital allocators. He paid the single largest tax bill in history in 2021 ($11B) and will likely pay an even bigger one in the future when he exercises the stock options from his 2018 Tesla CEO Performance Award, which are set to expire in January 2028. The villainization of Elon by legacy media and others will only intensify as his wealth grows. Instead, what they should focus on is the massive value he has created for others and all the good his companies are doing: • Tesla: Accelerating toward a sustainable future and saving lives with self-driving cars • Neuralink: Improving the lives of disabled people with brain-implant chips • SpaceX/Starlink: Bringing internet connectivity to remote areas worldwide • The Boring Company: Reducing traffic and travel time • xAI/Grok: Using AI to solve problems, answer questions, and tackle challenges • And much more Don’t measure Elon by his wealth. Measure him by what he has built, what he’s creating/building, and all the things that wouldn’t exist without him. That list is long.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests. They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full on denial of reality. 🤯

@Patriot__au @digitalcleavage @JordanEVGuy Explain why it's rubbish. Which bits in particular do you disagree with?

@robo1968 @digitalcleavage @JordanEVGuy That articles is absolute rubbish. And it's old.

EV sales up 26.2% in Europe 🚀 That is huge when compared to overall car sales in Europe being up just 1.9% this year. Electric cars are up 26%, with 2 million BEVs registered so far in 2025. BEVs now make up 18.3% of all new cars, up from 15.4% last year. Despite political noise, uncertainty and debate around the 2035 petrol & diesel phase-out, more fleets and private drivers are choosing electric. Some countries are moving faster than others: 🇳🇴 Norway: 95% BEV 🇩🇰 Denmark: 66% 🇸🇪 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 35% 🇬🇧 UK: 22% 🇫🇷 France: 19% 🇩🇪 Germany: 18% Meanwhile Italy, Poland and Spain are still lagging behind. Germany and the UK remain Europe’s two biggest EV markets by volume, both seeing strong growth again in 2025. The takeaway? The transition isn’t explosive, but it is happening. Electric cars are becoming normal, not niche. .

@Patriot__au @digitalcleavage @JordanEVGuy Fossil fuels subsidies topped $7 Trillion in 2022 imf.org/en/blogs/artic…

@digitalcleavage @JordanEVGuy What subsidies?

“Our kids will fix this!” Fuck off. Our kids will be living in a derailed society where fixing anything will be next to impossible. They will curse us for squandering THIS final, fleeting moment.

@xxtinkersmithxx @MikeOskam @anthonygalli @elonmusk No it isn't. They pay tax when they sell their shares. The last time Elon sold his in 2021 he paid $11 billion in tax, the largest amount of tax ever paid by anyone.

@MikeOskam @anthonygalli @elonmusk That is how they avoid personal income taxes.

It can’t make any sense to tax electric car drivers for not burning fossil fuels while allowing people that fly to pay no tax for burning fossil fuels. The answer is simple, extend the charging per mile to the airline industry. Fair, climate effective and tax raising - all at the same time. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@JordanEVGuy ICE 's will claim it takes 10 seconds to fill up, that it lasts for 700 miles, that they can hold on to their bladders for that long. ICE cars never wear out, lose any power or range at all after half a million miles... etc. etc.

Stop saying you can fill up in 2 minutes. You just look stupid. Almost all EV drivers have been or are still petrol and diesel drivers as well. We know how long it takes to fill up, how expensive it is, that you have to go and get it, and be grateful. .
