My state doesn’t do daylight savings, so I get to avoid these useless shenanigans twice a year

I really hope he has a good plan to pass the reigns to someone with the same integrity and philosophy.

Planet of the rising temperatures more like

I’m going to go drop off my ballot and sit back and wait for the results. There is nothing more I can do so there’s no sense in worrying about it. Focus on things you can actually change.

When you get home from work, sometimes it’s nice to decompress for a few minutes before going in to start on chores/dinner/whatever. Especially if you have roommates or children that will immediately require your attention when you go inside.

Honestly, I can’t imagine many people in the US would be offended by that. Especially not the younger generation.

For anyone that thinks Microsoft is going to be in full control of the daily operations of this plant, you are sorely mistaken. The NRC has extremely strict regulations for all power plants, and I can promise you that Three Mile Island will be run to the same standards as any other nuclear power plant in the United States. TMI had design flaws that were heavily studied after the incident, and the findings from those investigations have influenced new legislation to prevent such accidents from happening again. The plant will be entirely overhauled to meet modern safety standards before coming back online, you can’t just chuck some uranium back into the core and flip a switch to turn it back on.

Judge him all you want but he tells it like it is

That is extremely fair. Most other CEOs aren’t as vocal about their deranged bullshit

Oh, my experience with the service and sales staff has been nothing but excellent. Every Tesla employee I’ve been face-to-face with has been a joy to work with. It’s the decisions made by upper management that I have issues with. They have a habit of cutting small but useful features from their vehicles to save a few bucks per unit, at a detriment to the consumer. Passenger side lumbar support, rain sensors on the windshield, and ultrasonic sensors, for example.

My car has ultrasonics, but that’s the one that really grinds my gears. They decided to haphazardly remove them from new vehicles with no alternative, promising that new software would take care of parking sensors and it would be way better. It took them 9 months to get a completely inferior software alternative to consumers. For nearly a year, your car could autonomously drive itself down the road but not tell you if you’re about to hit something while parking. WTF?

Imagine test driving a vehicle with parking sensors, paying your deposit, then receiving that car later and it’s missing shit. The company doesn’t care, you can either take the car or leave it and forfeit your deposit. That’s the kind of anti-consumer bullshit that’s stopping me from buying another one.

Tl;dr: There are plenty of valid criticisms about Tesla, there’s no need to bring Elon into it or make stuff up imo

I don’t enjoy my Model Y any less after his bullshit picked up. I don’t buy cars based on what I think of the company’s CEO. However, a lot of things Tesla have done in the past couple of years demonstrate that they don’t seem to care about their consumers, and I do not plan on buying another one.

 

Note: I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I think it’s a very promising alternative to things like MinIO and deserves more attention.
