 Welcome to Greta's 4th edition of #Tesla customers getting used and abused. Because that's the Elon Musk way.

These #Tesla customers represent just the very tip of the iceberg. They are ones who have Twitter, have decided to complain about their #TeslaServiceIssues publicly, and were found by yours truly.
@yanismydj @hajelatweets @AlanHeldman @francislongo5 $TSLA $TSLAQ 4/22
Dear #Tesla customers: In California, if your vehicle has been out of service for >30 days total, it's a lemon. You can get punitive damages and attorney's fees. Don't sit around and take Elon's abuse. @13arm13arm @cecimar12 @richardson_skip @shootinglee $TSLA $TSLAQ 5/22
Is this "FUD"? I didn't make any of these customers complain. #Tesla and #SpaceKaren did.
@scorpionstriker @nd3423 @rammler31 @twit0007 $TSLA $TSLAQ 6/22
"1 year later, still being fobbed off."

"The worst thing is, I adore #Tesla, in love with the brand, the cars, everything about the mission... I've even referred 21 people in the past year."

I feel bad for the other customers in this thread. Except this guy.
$TSLA $TSLAQ 7/22
Dr. Earl Banning, Kristen Yamamoto, Kim Paquette, Bonnie Norman, Omar Qazi, Vivien Hantusch, Chao Zhou, Alex Voigt, Sean Mitchell, Sofiaan Fraval, Ben Sullins, Gali Russell & Ross Gerber.

None of these #Tesla cultists will help these customers. #SpaceKaren $TSLA $TSLAQ 8/22
Still waiting for "reporters" Simon Alvarez, Fred Lambert, Johnna Crider, Vincent Yu, Maria Merano, Evelyn Arevalo, Eva Fox, Matt Pressman, Tom Randall and Tim Higgins to write a story on #TeslaServiceIssues.

Nah. Let's write about a tunnel rendering instead. $TSLA $TSLAQ 9/22

Hey Sawyer Merritt, Jessica Meckmann, Tilman Winkler, Sean Mitchell, Eli Burton, Warren Redlich, Mayur Thaker,
David Tayar & Gary Black, when you stock pumpers get a chance, maybe you can help real #Tesla customers?
@jamielbridgers @Cars_are_fun @brandstefan

Here's something interesting, maybe Fred Lambert will get right on it: #TESLA IS STILL SCREWING PAYING CUSTOMERS OVER FAILING MCUs
$TSLA $TSLAQ 12/22
🚨 "As I approach my 4th year in my #Tesla, I contemplate what is more useless... the ever-malfunctioning $80K whoopee cushion on wheels they named the Model X or the miserable customer service. Other than that I love it." @djedmcdonald @sshenoy76 @walkingdisabled @mlap1 13/22
Oh boy, we are a long ways away from being done. Just imagine how many other #Tesla customers there are screaming into the void. @darrensc0tt @jeffbodeau @bholdmph @mmichaels $TSLA $TSLAQ 14/22
Hey @ValueAnalyst1, you've got a big bullhorn, do these #TeslaServiceIssues concern you even a little? Or are you back to stonk price bro?
@will_walsh @michael60702066 @jonskatz @BrunoFracassa $TSLA $TSLAQ #Tesla 15/22
More and more and more customers are getting completely fed up. Thankfully, customers also have the Niro, Ioniq, Taycan, I-PACE, Leaf, ID.3/4, Mach-E, and many Chinese EVs to choose from.
@dadsoutrunning @JackSonmez77 @IrvRodriguez_ @ChrisHubert80 $TSLA $TSLAQ 16/22
Go ahead, #Tesla cultists. Accuse these customers of "spreading FUD". I dare you.
@plugincarguy @dallals @bkane720 @codingmark
#Hypocrites #TeslaServiceIssues $TSLA $TSLAQ 17/22
Look at the timestamps on each of these #Tesla customers' tweets. These are all new, all recent since my last thread. This is not "FUD". This is an ongoing, worsening, and irredeemable crisis.
@jeuno @raffaeru @sasikanaparthy @mbentz99 $TSLA $TSLAQ 18/22
Remember how Omar Qazi tried to take down this account? Or how #SpaceKaren's trolls engaged in a concerted effort to suspend this account? The truth is right here, and they don't want it to get out. @lisastockwell @mcrown33 @TechPreacher @WeberMarty $TSLA $TSLAQ 19/22
"Tesla Service is ridiculous. Only care about Q4 delivery and stock price." Well said, @niravp44

@MrNYC @davidcwg @bmwm32008 @aamorosojr6 $TSLA $TSLAQ 21/22
Not even #Tesla tequila customers have been spared from the harm. Hey @PwC, what's the tally for how much Elon's going to make from ignoring these customers?

I will never stop. Because Elon never stops screwing people over.

It’s underremarked upon that stablecoins accomplish basically all of the original design goals for Bitcoin qua a transactional mechanism (instant free value transfer anywhere), but that nobody cares about this because nobody ever cared about that part of the pitch.

“Why do people care about stablecoins then?”

A mix of “they encourage dollar-denominated liquidity in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and discourage withdrawal of the same” and “they’re good for money laundering.”

“But they make value transfer between exchanges much faster!”

This was a solved problem in traditional finance, too, mostly through the extension of credit. (It doesn’t matter how long settlement takes if there is sufficient trust to enable credit.)

The Bitcoin ecosystem is *positively allergic* to credit, so you have to call it a coin for them to accept it. And after you call it a coin they ignore everything the world has learned about credit, like risk management.

“Stablecoins aren’t credit!”

They’re pretty much exactly credit? A tether is a zero-coupon Bitfinex bond with a non-functioning call option. I

On press call, Zuckerberg says FB users "naturally engage more with sensational content" that comes close to violating its rules. Compares it to cable TV and tabloids, and says, "This seems to be true regardless of where we set our policy lines."

Zuckerberg says FB is in the process of setting up a "new independent body" that users will be able to appeal content takedowns to. Sort of like the "Facebook Supreme Court" idea he previewed earlier this year.

Zuckerberg: "One of my biggest lessons from this year is that when you connect more than 2 billion people, you’re going to see the good and bad of humanity."

This is how Facebook says it's trying to change the engagement pattern on its services. https://t.co/3p0PGc912o


.@RebeccaJarvis asks Zuckerberg if anyone is going to lose their job over the revelations in the NYT story. He dodges, says that personnel issues aren't a public matter, and that employee performance is evaluated all the time.

Why did I leave Google? A thread.

This thread is going to include quotes from Wired's "Three Years of Misery Inside Google, the Happiest Company in Tech" because I'm not a professional writer

When I joined Google, I fell in love with the company immediately. I was excited to come to work, not just for the technical challenges, but because I really felt I was making a difference and working for the good guys.

I spent 20% of my week working on an app that helped people find lost loved ones after natural disasters. I spent more free time speaking to students about technology and diversity. For an entire school year, I taught CS classes twice a week at a local low income high school.

The company was open. We had a weekly meeting called TGIF where anyone in the company could ask questions of, and raise concerns with, the execs. We got real answers.

EV Battery overview
Batteries are the key differentiator between the various EV manufacturers. The amount of energy stored in the battery determines the range of the EV, thought to be a major limitation on EV sales.


Consumers tend to worry that an EV with a range of 80 to 250 miles on a single charge would be inconvenient for long trips due to the time it takes to recharge the battery. Commercial batteries need to ensure there is quick recharge and less time between charges


The lithium-ion battery is important because it makes EVs expensive than ICEs. Battery costs per kilowatt-hour (kWh) declined from roughly $1,000 per kWh in 2010 to $227 in 2016


Lithium-ion batteries made up 70 percent of the rechargeable battery market in 2016
BNEF projects that global production capacity for lithium-ion batteries will increase from 103 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the first quarter of 2017 to 273 GWh by 2021.


The battery manufacturing supply chain has three main parts:

cell manufacturing,

module manufacturing, and

pack assembly.

What an amazing presentation! Loved how @ravidharamshi77 brilliantly started off with global macros & capital markets, and then gradually migrated to Indian equities, summing up his thesis for a bull market case!

@MadhusudanKela @VQIndia @sameervq

My key learnings: ⬇️⬇️⬇️


First, the BEAR case:

1. Bitcoin has surpassed all the bubbles of the last 45 years in extent that includes Gold, Nikkei, dotcom bubble.

2. Cyclically adjusted PE ratio for S&P 500 almost at 1929 (The Great Depression) peaks, at highest levels except the dotcom crisis in 2000.

3. World market cap to GDP ratio presently at 124% vs last 5 years average of 92% & last 10 years average of 85%.
US market cap to GDP nearing 200%.

4. Bitcoin (as an asset class) has moved to the 3rd place in terms of price gains in preceding 3 years before peak (900%); 1st was Tulip bubble in 17th century (rising 2200%).

1) Core attributes of a promising founder worth following:
- Progress/trajectory over time
- How well they lead a team &
- Make the vision happen
- Most impressed when someone is way ahead of where you thought they would be when you check up/see them a few months later.

2) Indie Makers have such a benefit of being small, fast, nimble workers in comparison to big companies.

We can easily pivot and vastly change a project of ours. We can change as we learn more about our users.

Big companies can take months/years for even the smallest of pivots.

3) Before you find a product market you can pivot your project as many times as necessary until you find something that works.

Then you only have one thing to do: scale, scale, scale.

4) Be obsessed with the little details.
- listen to every single person who uses your product
- reply to every single person who emails you about your product
- ask them what they like and do not like
- iterate your product, make changes, pivot if necessary

5) Paul Graham's (@paulg) name came up with a feeling of great admiration! Naturally! It was Paul who said:

In the early stages of a company just;
- write code
- talk/sell to customers to stress test your idea

Nothing else.

ARULMIGU SRI PARTHASARATHY SWAMY KSHETRAM, CHENNAI (TN)

Divya Desha where Perumal appears with moustache of a Sarathi (charioteer) to conduct Arjun’s Rath in Kurukshetra war.
Here, Venkatkrishna-Parthasarthy is present with his entire family.


He is flanked by Sri Rukmini, Sri Balarama, Satyaki, son Pradyumn and grandson Anirudha.
It is said that on the request of Raja Sumathirajan, Sri Perumal appeared and stayed here as Arjun’s charioteer (Partha-sarathi).


He is without chakra as he had promised not to wield weapons in Mahabharata war.
The face has scars caused by Bhishma’s arrows on Arjun. Prabhu took the arrows on himself to protect Arjun.


The Naivedyam offered here does not have spices. Ghee is used in it to cure Prabhu’s wounds. Sarkarai Pongal is famous here.

It is said that Rishi Bhrigu found Devi Lakshmi (as Vedvalli) in Alli flower in the mandir pushkarini. Later, Sri Ranganatha came here to marry her.

1. Now that Stan Lee is being eulogized far and wide, it's important to remember how marginal Stan Lee and his collaborators (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko) were in the 1950s and 1960s.

2. Marvel Comics (before that Atlas) was just a cog in the machine of a bottom pulp publisher run by Martin Goodman, the husband of one of Lee's cousins. It was the lowest of the low in the publishing world.

3. Now Mario Puzo (not yet the author of the Godfather) shared offices with Stan Lee in the 1950s and 1960s. Puzo wrote for garrish men's adventure magazines and, like Lee, dreamed of writing a novel & breaking out. But Puzo looked down on Lee.

4. Flo Steinberg, 1960s secretary at Marvel: "They were always making jokes about us. They'd come in and giggle. mario Puzo would look in and would see us all working on his way to the office and say, 'Work faster, little elves. Christmas is coming.'"

5. When JFK was killed, the whole office of Magazine Management was stunned and quiet. Except Lee. He continued working. "He was still working on the comic books," Puzo said. "Like that was the most important thing in the world."
