I had the FSD trial for one month. I am very skeptical of the "weeks without intervention". It's cool technology, but I never had a single trip where I didn't need to intervene at least once. It would regularly blow thr

Tesla needs a new board and a new CEO. Offer Tim Cook double what he is making at Apple (an obscene amount of money, but a bargain compared to Musk). Tesla needs someone like Cook. Someone who knows supply chain management and customer serv
