“Musk’s team said it saved the country $115 billion by slashing wasteful and redundant spending. Not everyone agrees, but he feels he has the country on track and he can step aside.”

    The thing is recently when he thinks about Tesla, it’s stupid AI crap and things like the robot. So not only is he detracting with idiocy like the CT, but also distracting Tesla from what is supposed to be their real focus.

        That’s Elron’s style, too. What they should have been doing instead of the inane CT is updating their normal vehicles. They make incremental improvements but they’re looking pretty aged at this point.

          I’ve never looked at them as serious vehicles because of the whole “everything is computer” thing. Touch controls for absolutely everything is insane.

            Oh, it’s horrific. That’s been a bad enough trend in cars for many reasons, such as how it makes it almost impossible to adjust anything without looking at the screen, unlike physical buttons. Things like “can’t open the glove box manually” is ridiculous. Then there are also issues like the electric doors that you can’t open from the outside if the car lacks power, and how the manual releases are difficult to locate and in some models, rear doors don’t even have manual releases. The regular door operation is stupid, too. When I was in a Model 3 Uber, it wasn’t even clear to me how to open the door from the inside at first. That just scratches the surface too.
