He doesn't have any programmers anymore anyway, no need to push out app updates.

Everyone would throw their phones into the ocean for the chance to buy a Tesla phone!

I've long said that if you want to convince people to buy electric cars, give them a phone battery that isn't garbage. Would be great if Tesla could pull it off.

Given Tesla's struggle to reliably detect people, I doubt they'll have Face ID.

Years ago, when so many people were so supportive of social media censorship, I was trying to offer warnings about how dangerous it was to set a precedence that allowed these companies to be Gatekeepers of knowledge and communication. Oh well, at least it's hilarious now.

What about a tale as old as auto manufacturing moguls buying newspapers?
