no one in this video really seems to mention that this is a 5 year old car that was purchased for something like $100,000 so it probably shouldn't be having constant minor equipment failures.

lol its because expensive cars are loaded with poorly engineered, frail gadgetry and the rich are already accustomed to them failing constantly and in the most expensive way possible

they're COTS cells, which was one of Tesla's early advantages. that said, refurbishing the bandoleers with new cells is probably still going to be all but prohibitively expensive

but you see, when i wrote the journalist, making these libelous claims, i said "off the record". so you can't print that or use it as evidence in the upcoming defamation case against me

besides, i even included a link to google results about sex trafficking in thailand. iron clad.

Actually visited a car factory last week. They've actually hired like 3k people in the last two years and added new models so they're kinda in the same situation as Tesla's factory.

Talked to the union boss and he was like "yeah, we've had our problems but basically everyone here, including the bosses have been following Tesla and Elon and been lolling at his problems".

(Apparently their specialty is doing several completely different models right after another. So a production run might be a mix of completely different models, styles, engine options, body shapes, colors and it's no problem for them.)

So anyway, Musk's been noticed in the industry I guess.

E: Oh, forgot to mention, we went to their "needs repairs/something went wrong with these cars during assembly" lot and there were like five cars there.

E2: they laughed about the "X number of cars a week" number. Theirs is a secret but he said Elon is a silly boy.

The thing with me is that I AM smart and I'm smelf, I'm self-smarted, basically, by myself, basically from nature and smoking drugs and doing different things I've self... s... like self, learned myself. And that's the whole difference, I guess is that I don't need the books or the schooling type things. I just get everything on my own and because of that I'm alive right now. I mean if I had read more books or tried to go on to collage and different things like that I'd be dead right now because people say books and college are for to be make you smarter, but they can also be for to be make you dead, which is what could have happened to me. My brain doesn't use enough oxygen because I don't have the whole thing filled with different stuff and if it was full, it's only part full, and that's why I'm alive right now. The guards are giving me here, you know, "read this book, try to get smarter" but I'm like, alright, I'll pretend to read it but I'm not going to really read it cause my brain will be more full and if I have another heart attack I'm going to die...

I just wanna get out of here now and spend time with Grimes and Azalia and get my family going again. Basically that's all that matters to me. They come to visit me a couple times in jail for the first time ever which is awesome, Grimes seems to be really digging me and looking really good and I just wanna get out of here and see them, exercise a bit, maybe eat better and try to quit smoking. I'm going to quit smoking cigarettes first, and then, you know, work off the dope or whatever eventually, although I don't know.
