What exactly has Elon himself invented? I'm not aware of anything. He's hired some smart people, exaggerated what they've done, and claimed it as his own, but I don't think he's invented anything.
Maybe the AI bought one of Tesla's cars and didn't like it when it didn't do any of the things it was advertised to do? or when Tesla removed features from it after purchase?
I just want Musk to promise that he's built a world-ending AI. That will pretty much 100% guarantee it doesn't happen. His track record on promises is abysmal.
So basically, you trust Apple, but think all Android phones can't be trusted.
I've got news for you, I don't trust Apple any further than I can throw their headquarters. Apple has admitted to collecting personal data for the express purpose of advertising (something you claim they would never do), and is well known to collect FAR more data than they need to provide the services they do.
As for "random chinese company", they aren't random, they're the manufacturer. Most manufacturers put all sorts of stuff on their phones (Apple included) that phone home, just because you personally trust apple doesn't mean they don't do exactly this, and doesn't make them saints.
And yet Tesla has done both of those in less time than that.
It's not like Tesla had a unique idea that the others couldn't have come up with either. GM themselves proved that demand was very strong for EVs back in the 90s but killed off the project, forcibly recalled the vehicles and crushed them.
It's not that nobody else could compete with Tesla, it's that nobody else has yet had the desire to do so.
Apple has also stated publicly "We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where an Apple product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising."
Not sure why you think this is Android specific... iPhones phone home too, I'm sure the solitary Windows phone in the wild does as well.
Really it's not even limited to phones either, my car sent reams of data back to the manufacturer on an ongoing basis until I rooted it and firewalled the manufacturer out. Many home internet routers do this, large percentages of IOT devices, really, anything with an internet connection these days should be assumed to be sending as much data as it possibly can gather back to whomever made it.
Apparently you didn't read the summary where it says exactly this, that it was reported long ago, and the manufacturer claimed they'd changed, and have now been proven to still be up to the same old tricks.
As for "most android devices harvest data", why limit it to Android? it's well known that iPhones do it too, and if anyone had ever used a Windows phone, I'm sure it was set up the same.
The only real difference is in who the recipient of the data is.
I would hope so, but it's so hard to tell because that ridiculous nonsense is spouted so often as truth among the Apple fan base that it's hard to believe they don't actually believe it despite all evidence to the contrary.
Honestly, I don't care if it blows an efuse, I only care whether I can root it without losing functionality. They can have their efuse, doesn't make any difference to me.
Actually Apple has been documented doing this too in the past, despite overcharging for their phones. As for the pay vs free thing... which one is known to invade your privacy more, Windows 10 (which, contrary to popular belief is in fact paid software) or OpenBSD (free software)
There are literally thousands of examples of paid for products that invade your privacy, the whole IOT craze is pretty much there. There are also tons and tons of free things that don't (most of the open source movement)
If you think overpaying for things will keep your privacy safe, you're delusional. Cost of an item has no correlation with the morality of it's creator.
You're in luck, they already can easily exceed 180km/h, and can run for 500km without recharging, As for recharging in 5 minutes... why? they already recharge faster than you eat lunch, and after 500km of driving, I expect you'll need a meal, probably a washroom break too.
Don't worry, he probably also believes that gasoline magically appears in the tanks at the local petrol station and doesn't use any energy to extract, refine, or transport.
Every time someone claims that EVs pollute more than an internal combustion vehicle you can just ignore them, they don't have the first clue what they're talking about. It takes more energy to refine the gasoline then the total amount used by the EV for transportation, and that doesn't even account for extraction, transportation, or actually burning the fuel in the car.
Even with a power grid fuelled 100% by coal, the EV is still less polluting than an equivalent internal combustion vehicle, and good luck finding that 100% coal powered grid these days.
Tesla is cited, because as horrible a company as they are, they're also still the ONLY company that's actually interested in being in the EV space.
Sure Chevy made the Bolt, but it's laughable compared to the Model 3 which is actually cheaper. No other company has yet made a long range EV, let alone one that could compete with Tesla's offerings.
It's not that Tesla is good, it's that, despite over half a decade to catch up, no other company seems to care enough to even try. They're too busy reaping the profits from their existing ICE technology to bother.
Why swap your battery when you can fully charge it in less time than it takes to eat lunch? Or do you regularly drive 1000 miles at a time without any bathroom or food stops?
Battery swaps were a dead end idea that have no place in modern EV infrastructure. They're too expensive, too complex, and provide no real benefit over modern fast charge systems.
I regularly drive an EV 1000 km at a time, and it takes me no longer than it used to take me to do the same trip in my old diesel vehicle, sure it takes longer to charge, but I didn't eat any faster before, nor could I use the bathroom any quicker. If anything the EV is more convenient because I don't have to stand at the pump the whole time it's fuelling, I can eat while I charge instead of fuelling and then eating.
In the same world where women were "shut out" while still getting funding, and where a conclusion about the percentage of teams with women getting funding was made without counting how many did not. (a percentage requires both a numerator, and a denominator to calculate!)
In other words, this is a biased, sexist, political hit piece, and not a scientific study.
Not just weight, drag too. Any engine not producing thrust is still producing drag. So yes, you could do this, but it would be more efficient in the long run to just forget the less powerful set of engines.

So far Tesla has had very little success with autonomous driving. And there's zero reason to believe that any of it has any relation whatsoever to AI.
Musk has no experience at all with self driving cars, Tesla doesn't produce any, and I've seen no evidence that his rockets use any AI either.
I just want Musk to promise that he's built a world-ending AI. That will pretty much 100% guarantee it doesn't happen.
His track record on promises is abysmal.

going for a +1 funny?
and people think the expensive ones are somehow any different?

oil? in an EV? for what?

Considering the timeline picked, and the age of most politicians. It seems they feel the same way as you do.
"pick either"
You probably fail to realize that you've already picked both...
In the same world where women were "shut out" while still getting funding, and where a conclusion about the percentage of teams with women getting funding was made without counting how many did not. (a percentage requires both a numerator, and a denominator to calculate!)

The USA really doesn't vaccinate against Polio any more? wow...
My daughter has been vaccinated against Polio as part of our normal vaccine schedule. Her most recent Polio vaccine was only a couple of months ago.
