You brought up the weird diversion with strange non-facts about tilting. I merely mentioned (and sourced) that it is now the cheapest source of energy pretty much world-wide. It was just a bizarre misreading of other people's work as what you just posted. This absolute certainty combined with rank ignorance is known as the Dunning Kruger effect. You should look it up (but please refrain from reading half of the wiki article and then lecturing others on some bizarre misinterpretation of it).
The choice to go on a tangent where you ranted about the improvement of a smart tilting algorithm being 1% was yours.
Also I'm not arguing against the tesla master plan. It's founded on the assumption of roughly doubling final energy in the US rather than putting any effort into efficiency (such as by spending one of those trillions on transit, insulation and missing middle housing), but this is to be expected from a car and battery company asking for handouts. It also has a few slightly pessimistic generalisations and assumes the regulatory hurdles for solar will stay, but the inflation driven costs for wind will not. But over all it is fine, and is a broad overview related to reality.
It does not anywhere contain the conclusion that a country can be run on land based wind energy alone, nor does it say anything about solar (which is the current US mix that has a high share of single axis) costing more in O&M.
Nor does it contain the assumption that one power source can be subbed for another without taking into account *when* each power source produces. You cannot substitute them one for one. And you cannot assume transmission is unbouded and free.
You made all of that up and then proceded to try and use other people's words as an argument from authority.
Nobody anywhere is suggesting an all wind grid. It would be incredibly brittle.
Similarly nobody is suggesting an all solar one.
I guess this bizarre rant isn't harmful like the nuclear one though, so I'll leave you to keep raving,
