20 years from now, all doors will open remotely only, for a reasonable fee payable in Doorcoin.

You will be able to upgrade to lifetime* door service.

(If you die in a burning car before the door opens your life will have ended so your estate will be billed for any additional door opening required to remove your corpse.)

Inquire with your dealer about expedited door opening service.

Getting your keys out of your pocket/purse is annoying. If you've gotten used to being able to open your garage and car without touching your keys other than to put them in, and then take them out of, your pants it's annoying as gently caress to have to get them out all the time. Being able to just type in a passcode is a decent compromise. Is it better or more secure? Lmao not at all.

just fish around in your jort pockets for your keys, jeez

That's due to the company history tho. Vorwerk is mostly known for making vacuum cleaners that they sell to housewives on the doorstep.

And yes we have a word for it too

you can't say you have a word for a thing when your language is well known for inventing "new" words by simply concatenating a bunch of existing ones

With all the negative press directed at Musk it's easy to overlook the fact that he's done an incredible job leading Tesla through highly uncertain waters.

Tesla's enemies are everyone from Trump to the incumbent car companies Tesla would have already soundly beaten if they hadn't received a massive bailout.

I think based on this that Tesla's stock is still fairly significantly undervalued. I wouldn't buy it for anything other than a 5-10 year time horizon, during which time I think it will dominate worldwide.

Of course, the enemies will still be able to attack through intellectual property theft, frivolous lawsuits, etc., but Tesla is one of the giants of modern manufacturing.

Musk shakes up SpaceX in race to make satellite launch window: sources

Within hours of landing, Musk had fired at least seven members of the program’s senior management team at the Redmond, Washington, office, the culmination of disagreements over the pace at which the team was developing and testing its Starlink satellites, according to the two SpaceX employees with direct knowledge of the situation.
