I got the $5,000 check from Tesla today. I still cannot believe that he's giving money back.

I saw a post claiming that they promised it to a non-pup owner too. But there are also lots of people saying they were told no.

You should frame it and nail it to the wall above your fireplace to commemorate internal combustion.

The 19" Sport wheels in China look pretty good. Might be a decent choice when they make them available here.

Interesting.
