And some research results have proven impossible to replicate, sometimes traced back to intentional obfuscation, like removing/hiding rows from spreadsheets that didn't match the hypothesis. At least one financial crisis was directly caused by massaged results from a dodgy mathematical formula

That Reinhart-Rogoff study got cited so often as a reason we must do austerity in the wake of the global financial crisis, then oops turns out that not only did they not actually justify their causal direction, their numbers were all bullshit anyway!

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

As an update to this saga, he sold 1 share of Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet's company) worth $300,000. He will most likely pay taxes on this sale. He used the proceeds to pay off the loan he took out for Tesla. He is still holding the Tesla stock he bought. He essentially traded 1 share one of the most successful and consistent stocks ever and traded it for a bunch of magic beans batteries.

Considering the air conditioning kills the battery, why are there a bunch of people signing up for it in Texas? The range will be so much less.

Also, the Tesla Reddit boards are full delusional right now. All news is good news. It’s really fun to see the logic pretzels.

So what happens when the car does that as I park in an underground garage with no cellular signal of other means of getting internet to it?

Do I literally order a towtruck to bring it out for some internet?

Yes. Also you can't tow it normally because there's no way to disengage the parking brake if the system won't boot.

And it has to go to the dealership tesla store
