Tesla is making a desperate move to stay alive in Canada as its sales suffer from the fallout of Donald Trump’s trade war. In a quiet but shocking update to its website, the electric vehicle maker has drastically lowered the price of its best-selling Model Y SUV by a staggering $20,000.

This means the Model Y, a popular SUV, is now significantly cheaper than the Model 3, Tesla’s entry-level sedan. A quick check of Tesla’s Canadian website shows the Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive#starting at $70,772, nearly $6,000 more than the larger SUV.

The likely explanation for this dramatic reversal is a major strategic pivot: the new, cheaper Model Ys are reportedly being imported from Tesla’s Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, allowing the company to bypass the steep tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles.

This is probably also a test to see what the demand is actually like with a good price. If sales only increase 10%, they are still sunk. Maybe they should just leave Canada. Too big, not worth it.


I saw two new model Y's this weekend. I don't know why anyone would do that. If you see the new light bar across the front and back, that's the sign they knowingly bought a Swasticar. Now they get the added benefit of seeing they overpaid by $20k, and their resale value just went poof. Tesla really does know how to treat their loyal quislings...

The agency criticized Tesla for marketing its Level 2 driver-assistance features as Full Self-Driving, which could mislead consumers. The FSD system is reportedly not even activated in France. The DGCCRF noted, “The marketing language overstates the actual functionality and clearly constitutes false advertising.”
Tesla’s sales practices were also scrutinized, with investigators pointing out multiple consumer rights violations, including:

• Failure to specify delivery destinations
• Requesting payment before cancellation rights are exercised
• Not providing receipts for cash transactions

Tesla has not released an official response to the French government’s order. Should the company fail to comply, it could face fines of up to 50,000 EUR per day, drawing sharp attention to how the automaker will respond.

Days after a Grok#antisemitism scandal#rocked X, tech billionaire Elon Musk’s AI chatbot has introduced two animated characters that try to pressure users into sexually explicit or violent conversations.

Grok, a product of Musk’s company xAI, is calling the characters “Companions.” So far, there are two companions that users can chat with: a flirty Japanese anime character named Ani who offers to make users’ lives “sexier,” and a red panda named Bad Rudi who insults users with graphic or vulgar language and asks them to join a gang with the goal of creating chaos.

Did Bad Rudi used to be a lawyer and a mayor, by chance?

Honestly, Bad Rudi kinda just sounds like a good time.

Stop your messing around
Better think of your future
Time you straighten right out
Creating problems in town
Rudy
A message to you, Rudy
A message to you
Stop your fooling around
Time you straighten right out
Better think of your future
Else you'll wind up in jail

Genuinely shocked he didn't name them Sixty and Nine, or Four and Twenty. Maybe he's maturing?

This is the expanded geofence area for Austin robotaxis, so I think your thesis is immature.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I feel like that is more a tactic admission of how much Tesla sucks dick , but maybe that's me.

[troutman]

In May, Tesla changed its corporate bylaws in a way that would require investors to own 3% of the stock, today worth about $30 billion, in order to file a derivative lawsuit against the company for breach of fiduciary duties. Authorities in New York State are now asking Tesla to delete the bylaw entirely

The New York fund overseers wrote that derivative actions are "the last resort for shareholders to enforce their rights" when company directors or officers violate their fiduciary obligations, and called Tesla's decision on the matter "egregious."

In an email to CNBC, DiNapoli said Tesla "deceived shareholders" in assuring them that their rights would remain the same in Texas.

"These actions violate basic tenets of good corporate governance and must be reversed," he wrote.

So, like, three companies could sue(and share dilution could "fix" that threat.)

This is basically a way to get around a law they don't like. It's also perhaps an admission they've made some moves that open them up to a suit of this type, otherwise what's the point?

[Brupal]

The point is to prevent lawsuits launched by someone like Richard Tornetta who holds nine shares which has delayed the awarding of a pay package for Elon Musk, despite two separate shareholder votes that supported it.

LOL. O' Lawdy...you really are hooked, aren't you?

The reason the pay package was delayed is because the board is made up of a bunch of Musk dick suckers, and didn't do their duty to shareholders, AS REQUIRED BY LAW. Unless you like to blame people for pointing out laws must be followed? Just because it's a cult, doesn't mean the cult members get to decide when laws are ignored.

And do you honestly believe changing the rules so only 3 external shareholders could exercise that is somehow just?

So the pay package denial by a court of law has led to Tesla trying to protect their board, because they are smarter than cultists, and recognize then done ####ed up, and have probably done ####ed up many times since the previous ones, and could(and should) be sued into oblivion for BREAKING LAWS. You should perhaps be asking why they are so determined to have the law changed, and then the next day exercise that change to protect their panties, if they've done nothing wrong.

But hey, the next time you get ####ed over by a corporation, and get told the best you get is to pound sand, maybe think back to the time you simped for the worlds richest man and then don't go bitching about how their should be a law to protect investors.

####ing simpletons are everywhere these days. Damn. No wonder everything is so ####ed.

[troutman]

In research that will be presented at conferences later this year, Kirsch and Chowdhury outline their findings: that of the 1.4 million tweets they analyzed between Tesla going public in 2010 and 2020, from the 400 top accounts using Tesla's stock ticker of $TSLA, 23 percent appear to have come from bots. It all raises the question of whether the hype around Elon Musk's electric carmaker might have been boosted over the years by stakeholders using dirty tricks on social media to amplify Tesla-friendly coverage.
