#ElonMusk might not be able to effectively manage #Twitter, build a #Hyperloop, or fly a rocket into space without exploding. But at least the business that brought him global fame and wealth can deliver on its core promises, right?

Wrong.

A new #Reuters report calls into question #Tesla’s ability to do the one thing that its vehicles were supposed to be good at: dominating the electric car industry with exceptional battery range. In fact, according to the report, Tesla intentionally overestimated the battery range displayed on drivers’ dashboards by rigging the software, only to then systematically cancel the service appointments of customers who complained. The company even established an entire Las Vegas “Diversion Team” devoted to canceling range-related appointments. According to Reuters:

Inside the #Nevada team’s office, some employees celebrated canceling service appointments by putting their phones on mute and striking a metal xylophone, triggering applause from coworkers who sometimes stood on desks.
Earlier this year, Tesla was fined for false advertising by South Korean regulators who determined that the company exaggerated its range estimates, which were far greater than the range estimates of other electric car manufacturers. For context, the #Chevy #Bolt’s estimated range is 259 miles, the #Nissan #LEAF‘s is 149, while the Tesla Model S‘s is 405. Car review website Edmunds tested five Teslas models that failed to reach their advertised range, while 9 out of 10 models from other manufacturers exceeded expectations.

I recently watched an episode of How To with John Wilson in which Wilson buys a used car for a price that seems too good to be true, writes reporter Abigail Weinberg. He later discovers an extra odometer in the trunk, showing far more mileage than the one on the dashboard. Tesla’s reported scheming may not be so brazen, but when drivers are reporting battery ranges 200 miles less than advertised, it’s hard not to think that customers are getting a raw deal.

You can read Weinberg's full blog at the link below. https://bit.ly/43GHmkJ

Tesla can't even do the one thing it's supposed to be good at.

And it established an entire service center dedicated to avoiding the problem.

#research on the domain name "x.com"
enter image description here
X.com was an online #bank co-founded by #ElonMusk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in #1999 in Palo Alto. In June 2001, #X . COM was renamed PayPal.

The domain was first registered by a guy named "Rob Walker" he worked at netscape - the domain was then later "1996?" sold (to Musk?)

The Washington Post just released an article that explains the relationship with "x.com" and "paypal".

Despite his failure to rebrand PayPal into X.com, Musk never gave up hope for his favorite letter. In 2017, he thanked PayPal for letting him buy back the domain name that some confused for adult content and was partially responsible for his ouster at the company.

“No plans right now,” he said at the time, “but it has great sentimental value to me.”

Werter Journalist,

wenn du weiterhin Twitter benutzt und deine Leser und Hörer mit deinem Content und mit allerlei »Weitersageknöpfchen« für deinen Content zu Twitter lockst, finanzierst du damit über Werbeeinblendungen zu deinem Content ganz genau diejenigen Leute, die du sonst ohne Ende als Faschisten oder Rechtspopulisten bezeichnest. Es könnte durchaus passieren, dass das ein ganz kleines bisschen an der Glaubwürdigkeit deines triefenden Gesinnungsjournalismus kratzt.

Nur, um das mal angemerkt zu haben.

Grüße auch…

Detail aus der Heise-Website zu diesem Artikel: Teile diesen Beitrag, diverse S/M-Links mit den zugehörigen Symbolen, darunter auch der Vogel von Twitter

…an die extrabreit beingespreizten Reichweitenhuren aus der Karl-Wiechert-Allee, die unter so einem Beitrag auch noch ihre Leser dazu auffordern, diese Tintenkleckserei auf Twitter weiterzusagen.

Kein Grund für euren Dank wegen dieses Hinweises

Elias

PS: Wenn ich doch nur darauf hoffen könnte, dass es demnächst durch die so genannte »Künstliche Intelligenz« ein bisschen intelligenter würde!

Twitter bezahlt Tweet-Ersteller: Freude bei rechten Accounts und Musk-Fans

Twitter hat begonnen, mit Werbung unter Tweets eingenommenes Geld an die Verfasser weiterzugeben. Publik machen das jetzt vor allem zwei Arten von Accounts.

Well I think we've found another piece of the puzzle...and I am guessing "microdoses" is more like enough Special K to make ravers look at you sideways but because he's a rich celebrity he can get a script for it as often as he wants. It's Michael Jackson and his doctor's all over again (common problem with these folks). Ironically this was the same week he was pooh poohing antidepressants etc. #ElonMusk
