TESLA deserves its own topic, so here it is.

While most people associate TESLA with electric vehicles, the company encompasses much more: Full Self-Driving (FSD), GROK AI, the Optimus robot, and even diners. I’ll start with FSD and cover the rest as time permits.

Today, TESLA released FSD version 14.2. Here's what InvestAnswers had to say:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')esla's FSD has unshakeable faith in its wizardry.

They just released version 14.2, featuring a wild “Mad Max” mode that blasts through LA traffic like something out of a sci-fi movie. It’s insanely bold — almost unbelievable — and shows just how confident they are in what they’ve built. Milisecond response times are needed to anticipate erratic LA drivers where many are either nuts,medicated or high half the time

Few understand.

Cars that no one wants to buy, robots that are clunky and will probably never see the light of day, The powerwall side, now undercut by the Chinese and not viable, and Grok, another useless AI engine among dozens of useless AI engines. Garbage in garbage out.

The home solar market had been in collapse long before Musk entered Trump's orbit, same with his EV sales. That was just a convenient cover to explain why everything in his empire was losing value. How much has he spent on the optimus robot venture? About 2 billion to date, that's nothing, that's marketing petty cash. Were talking about a market cap of 1.3T, two billion is covered in a single days movement of the stock. And lets face it, without the "iRobot" angle the stock would probably be right down the drain. But Musk has spun the company as an innovator from the start so it's no surprise he'd cook up this scheme.

Tesla is indeed more than just EV's, it's the biggest scam on the American stockmarket, and the hope of all techno-cornucopians from Ushuaia to Anchorage Alaska. Don't bother looking at the share price, that's meaningless, it has as much meaning in today's world as WeWork did or as Rivian at it's peak. You think you're buying a growth stock? Think again. Nothing about Tesla sales is growing.

This will be a very volatile week for Tesla. Earnings call will be on Thursday, Tesla always includes some surprises, should be interesting.

I will be watching football today, so thought I would drop a few tidbits for you. I found a new Youtuber I enjoy, it's called "Bestin TESLA". The 2.5 Hours in the title refers to how long it takes to make one.

Wow, one out of every three cars sold in Norway is now a TESLA. In addition, China is installing 100 Solar panels per second, crash testing on the Cybertruck gets a GOOD rating vs Ford's 150 with a POOR rating. The video also blows away the lie EV demand is dropping.

one last tidbit NOT from the video. The average new car price in the U.S. is now $50,000.00, TESLA has several EV's below that price.

Enjoy, it's a good video.

The ISS probably isn't all that bad. After all the Russians are the main players there. Those 3 in the pic above look a little odd to you? Russian Cosmonauts probably.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')pril 2025: Russia takes an American astronaut to the space station
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan, April 8 (Reuters) - A Russian spacecraft safely delivered an American astronaut Jonathan Kim and two Russian cosmonauts to the International Space Station (ISS) on Tuesday, a flight hailed by Moscow as an example of fruitful Russia-U.S. space cooperation.
The Russian Soyuz 2.1a rocket blasted off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan carrying Kim and Russians Sergei Ryzhikov and Alexei Zubritsky, docking three hours later with the ISS, Russia's Roscosmos state space corporation said.
Once the hatches were opened, Kim and the Russians were shown smiling and hugging their companions on the station, which now has 10 people on board, including four NASA astronauts, five Russians and Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi.

Laser-wielding device is like an anti-aircraft system for mosquitoes
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Basic Edition model of the Photon Matrix has a 90-degree, 3-meter (9.8-ft) scanning/killing range, which is boosted to 6 meters (19.7 ft) in the Pro Version. Both models are claimed to be capable of dispatching up to 30 mosquitoes per second. And yes, they even work in pitch-black bedrooms.

Importantly, the device additionally uses millimeter-wave radar to scan its field of view for larger objects such as people and pets. If any of these are detected, its mosquito-zapping laser will not fire.

Why can't Americans get themselves to the ISS without hitching a ride with the Russians? Well they could go with the Space-X, a private corporation, but that mob charges twice the price! We didn't know that did we... Whatever funding NASA still gets is funneled into S-X so Elon can make more profit at American taxpayer's expense. And He's not even an American, but an immigrant from SA, via Canada! He's a royalist really, O but he knows how to scam the American system. Dumb Americans falling over themselves to sing the praises of a South African White

So how are those tesla robots coming along... All quiet after the last sales pitch isn't it? Now the chatter is about Elon's flying car, which will have some "rockety stuff" in them according to him in one interview. But Shhhhh, it all super secret, just Believe and Bid up Tesla shares. It will all be over soon.
