Musk backtracking now pretending it was just a ruse after various departments told their employees not to comply with the order which exposed his impotence. He's obviously feeling a little humiliated to be coming out with this desperate explanation, which is humiliating in itself.

Elon Musk admits email to government workers was a ruse

Department of Government Efficiency head says he wants to test whether federal employees are ‘capable of replying to an email’

It was just a joke people. A joke. Laugh!

I saw this and wasn't sure if it was real. Tesla really is becoming a very toxic brand.

I think all EV sales are down.

We don’t have the infrastructure for them.

A friend of mine recently gave back his electric car.

I’m trying to get rid of my electric motorbike. It’s a total money pit. Beautiful looking thing but next to useless and cost a fortune to get road legal.

Range anxiety is real too!

Oh well. Go back and start again .

How the roots of the ‘PayPal mafia’ extend to apartheid South Africa

Elon Musk grew up with the privileges of a stratified racial order and Peter Thiel lived in a city that venerated Hitler

Like Trump he is a bully when it comes to business hence the email, however taking on the federal government service is not the same as taking on a business. When the various Departments sent out emails saying ignore his email they effectively said ’f*ck off Musk’. Now his normal reaction would be to sack everyone but in this case he can’t, hence his ‘it was a ruse’ comment.

He reminds me of (P)Rick from the Young Ones, only not as likeable.

The link in the post above yours says EV sales are UP 37% YoY.

Ah,I am wrong. Fairs fair.

Glad to be so.

EV is the way forward and Musk is a ****. So I’m happy with that.

I have an EV, gets me to the Amex and back (250 miles), parking at Lewes station costs me more than the charging.

I very rarely need public chargers, I used a 150kw one of the M6. Very good but pricey

My Audi Q4 has a range of 250 miles, which IS a little bit rubbish, but as i have got used to it, doesn't actually have any real impact other than on rare occasions.

I did have to resort to a Tesla supercharger the other day though, to get me home from business in Derby - which made me feel a little bit dirty. I'll try not to do it again.

EV sales are up compared to other vehicles, and the infrastructure has vastly improved in the three years I’ve had my EV. They’re still not the best solution for everyone, but advances are being made all the time.
