  • This policy brought to you by the party of “bird flu is everywhere and only vaccines got us through the recent pandemic, so cancel all vaccine research and stop distributing vaccines,” and “climate change is already having devastating effects and will destroy everything we have if it continues to accelerate, so make renewable energy prohibitively difficult and expensive and attempt to expand the coal industry,” and also “natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense, so dismantle FEMA.”




  • Sheehan was driving home when the Cybertruck “left the road” and struck a large concrete culvert, after which the vehicle’s “hyper volatile” battery system went into “thermal runaway” – a chain reaction of short-circuits ultimately resulting in uncontrollable temperature escalation – and caught fire.

    Once power was lost, it was impossible for Sheehan to open the Cybertruck’s electrically operated doors in the normal way, the complaint goes on, highlighting a major issue that has similarly doomed others riding in Teslas. The external door handles also failed to work, and the emergency manual door release handles within the Cybertruck are “unreasonably difficult to locate in an emergency,” the complaint states.

    These design problems are so glaringly obvious that the fact Tesla hasn’t bothered to fix them gives big “fuck you” vibes. A company’s culture comes from the top.
