One thing that the general public is not that aware of re: Tesla is that *they do not manufacture their own battery cells*
They lease space in their factories for third-parties such as Panasonic.
A lot of people invested in Tesla because they thought Tesla was vertically integrated re: the cells.

I am going to get my act together and fully migrate to BlueSky. I want to use all social media to promote my book. There's no point doing this much work and let it be lost inall the noise. People need to know it exists, then make the choice of whether to buy and read it.
I'm grateful for any shares.

Genocide isn't war. The media is complicit. A war would include armies on both sides. Not armies versus civilians.

So, since first elected 7 years ago, Big Dumb Doug Ford has purloined $ billions and $billions of federal health care funding and withheld it from the system to bribe voters with two bit tax breaks and build highways.
And now he wants us to believe he’s going to get a family doctor for everyone?
