Just got this from a friend reflecting on the 1-year anniversary with their Tesla. “Everything people think before owning something tends to be, at best, misinformed, and typically just wrong. Charging is what really gets me. Non-Tesla or even non-EV owners have no idea of the quality-of-life impact of charging versus filling up a car with a toxic chemical in the rain, snow, and wind. His name is Ranger. The car's name is Killeen. It may be the dirtiest Tesla in America.”

Why is the president advocating potentially a war crime and how do you square that with the US aying it does not target civilians? Leavitt: Their best move is to make a deal or else the united States armed forces has capabilities beyond their wildest imagination Reporter: Including potential war crimes? Leavitt: With respect to achieving the full objectives, the president is going to move forward… Reporter: Which of those objectives would destroying a desalination plant most help?





NEWS: Waymo has announced that it is now completing over 500,000 paid Robotaxi trips per week.
