In mid-January there was a Tesla story that broke around Nassim Taleb's $4,333 accidental Tesla Upgrade. Basically, the Tesla app's design patterns allowed him to butt-dial the upgrade. And Tesla's customer service response turned out to be challenging and not helpful. Let's take a closer look at Te
Climate change - top 5 myths. At the beginning of last year I released a video about the top EV myths I was seeing over and over in the comments.

I still stand by that list, and wouldn’t remove anything, but one advantage that a bunch of you brought up was Tesla’s software. And you’re absolutely right. I should have made my list the top 6 advantages. Tesla's over-the-air
In the Tesla Cybertruck reveal we all saw the horrible Tesla Armor Glass fail. But what is transparent metal glass? Why did Tesla make Tesla Armor Glass in the first place? How is it made and how strong is it really?
