Hi,
I've received but not often read this list, so I don't know if you've
been as unfair to Tesla as Rush accused you of, but your response below
seems pretty even-handed. I was surprised that Rush made such personal
comments to you. Unless you've been over-the-top unfair to Tesla, then
this seems wrong.

Your prejudice against Tesla is so evident and overwhelming
Nah. Tesla doesn't make an EV that meets my needs, but I'm actually OK with
them in most ways.
I can't stomach Elon Musk, but that's strictly personal, so who cares?
A few things that you MIGHT care about:
1. Musk's public persona is costing Tesla customers. Surveys show it.

2. Musk seems to be going all-in for autonomy and "AI," and losing focus on
the EV part.
Witness the recent layoffs. Also, in Tesla's recent earnings call, someone
asked about the new 4680 battery cells. Musk said they're not "super
important." Really?

3. Musk spends more time than ever s***posting on Twitter. That's time he's
not spending on Tesla.

Maybe none of that matters much, now that other automakers have picked up
the EV torch and are running with it.
If you think it does, then the posts bring it to your attention
If you don't, just ignore the posts.

Most members of congress don't see their constituents as peers. They
see them as fans. These politicans aren't public servants, they're
public embarrassments.
