Then we should also stop subsidies of fossil fuels ($5.3 trillion a year according to IMF). https://www.imf.org/en/News/Ar...
It's about time they competed on a level playing field. Solar and wind (without subsidies) are cheaper than coal and natural gas.
The plea bargain is usually used to avoid the cost of a trial. The DA charges the suspect with the maximum severity and type of infractions. The suspect (who may be innocent), pleads to a lesser charge to avoid the cost of a trial. (And most suspects don't have tens of thousands of dollars for a good lawyer) Win-win (except if you are innocent).
Here's a few more instances: The chemical, perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, has been linked to kidney cancer, birth defects, immune system disorders and other serious health problems. So scientists and administrators in the E.P.A.’s Office of Water were alarmed in late May when a top Trump administration appointee insisted upon the rewriting of a rule to make it harder to track the health consequences of the chemical, and therefore regulate it. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/1...
In the weeks before the Environmental Protection Agency decided to reject its own scientists’ advice to ban a potentially harmful pesticide, Scott Pruitt, the agency’s head, promised farming industry executives who wanted to keep using the pesticide that it is “a new day, and a new future,” and that he was listening to their pleas. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...
How many more instances until we call this a trend?
People are being fired for performance reasons. These are not layoffs. Tesla loses money every year and people with no business training think think this means they can't make a profit. Tesla makes a profit of about 25% on each car they make (and they sell every car they make even with production increasing). Business 101: What is the difference between business investment and production costs?
Los Angeles used to be like this... then we had the Clean Air Act and cleaned it up. (Of course, now Trump is dismantling the Clean Air Act so we'll be like China soon).
Not true. The only time you can be denied unemployment is if you were fired for misconduct ( stealing, lying, failing a drug or alcohol test, falsifying records,etc.). Poor performance is not misconduct.
The stated reason for the acquisition was "synergy" of sales, Powerwalls, solar panels and electric cars. For instance, the "fake solar tiles" are actually in production and being installed on houses for customers with electric cars and Powerwall batteries.
You never want to let employees know that you are going to fire them... leads to all kinds of problems. Best to just fire them and "thank you for your service".
In the US, they are using Liberty Mutual for "Insure my Tesla". Out of curiosity, I entered my information and received an insurance quote for my Tesla which is 4 times what I am currently paying. So... not a good deal... at all.
If you RTFA (hard, I know) you will see that Google and Amazon are buying new renewable power from developers who are building for them so it doesn't displace other users of power.
Please don't read or comment on new battery posts if you don't like them. This is a "news for nerds" site. There is a lot of research going on with new batteries. Some of it may pan out. A better battery will help with better EVs and with power storage. (Seems a lot more relevant that Google's "outrageous $20 price" for a USB adapter.)
I don't run any anti-virus software on Linux. I trust the user community to discover and patch any problems much more than I trust any anti-virus vendor. So far, no problems.

Duh.
Why is this here for discussion.
If you have one of these cars get it fixed.
If not, ignore.
What's to discuss?
Stuff happens. They'll fix it.
Please take all my nickels (and pennies) and do something useful with them.
They are useless and clog up my life.
500 x 24 = 12000 /12 kWh is $0.50

So, what makes you think Trump doesn't want to dismantle the Clean Air Act?
Which part of "forcing people to pay $10 billion a year to burn more polluting coal don't you understand?"

Here's another act to pollute the air and cost consumers $10.3 billion a year.
See a pattern yet?

The solution is simple... just get rid of all of the human drivers!
If you think it will stop there, you are very naive.
Try 1963 and 1970... a little more than 2 years.

The short sellers have been consistently wrong on Tesla for years now. It's cost them a bundle.

My current low cost insurance does that but Liberty doesn't.
N Korea wouldn't start a nuclear war because they would be destroyed. Kim isn't stupid.
OTOH, Trump could start a war and "win"
