The one that intrigued me more was circa the 2017 era when Tesla was supposedly an energy company. That might have justified their valuation at the time, but it turned out to be dishonest spin.

Yet again, there are no adults and the shallow fabric of society fails to conceal the greed boner under the sheets.

    That's when he was bailing out the solar roof company owned by his cousins.

    Being in Australia, we have the benefit of getting US, EU, CN, and other vehicle brands, as well as solar and battery suppliers.

    Tesla sells a lot of home batteries, but there are numerous other brands.

    Tesla's cars are old now, the difference is the Hyundai, Kia, Geely, ZeekR, BYD, Polestar, Mini, Lexus, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes and other brands are cars that happen to be powered by batteries, not some magic carpet of future ideas.
