I know that thereâs all kinds of illegal manipulation (including the fucking Secretary of Commerce encouraging people to buy the stock!) and the whole Cult of Musk phenomenon, but even taking that into account itâs hard to fathom why so many people seem to think that itâs a good time to buy:
Thatâs a sentiment that I actually agree with Musk on, but apparently itâs an older statement from 2020, not something he said about about todayâs surge.

That was kind of the underlying point of Westworld the series; sadistic predators are never satisfied with mere fantasy - it always leaks out into reality, sooner or later.

Elon Musk, literally stealing from orphans, soon to grow mustache so he can twirl it:
Oh, but donât you know, Tesla are pretty clear about how they think theyâll be used: people would buy them as robot domestic servants, to do their laundry, fold their clothing, etc. That they canât do things like fold clothing is a mere detailâŠ
And after figuring some solutions to some hard AI problems that would revolutionize whole industries if you managed it. (Robots that can deal with cloth, for example, something they faked having their robots do, would totally transform the garment industry.)

Incendiary devices were found at an Austin Tesla showroom on Monday morning
So, Tesla vehicles? [/s]
As reported in Houston (wonât onebox)
Tim Chittim, who lives near the Tesla dealership, told KVUE he is tired of seeing incidents like this happen at Tesla.
âI wonder if I should go volunteer some time for security at night to to watch this dealership,â said Chittim. âThese people need to be stopped doing stuff like that. I would definitely volunteer my time.â
Chittim added people should not be taking this out on Tesla or their employees.
Should not be taking what out on Tesla? (The article doesnât specify, &/or they only cribbed part of it from KVUE; weâre left to infer it)

Per this video, the Cybertruckâs frame is made from a single piece of cast aluminumânot extruded or rolled. ThereforeâŠ

I rode in a Lyft Tesla once. This was last year. Lyft gave me the options of taking the âgreenâ option, so I thought, âyeah, thatâll be good.â
Because the batteries are all under the floor, I had to sit bent forward, with my knees basically under my chin for the whole trip.
Donât ask me what kind of Tesla is was. They all look the same to me â like horseshoe crabs on wheels.

From the video
âWhat I didnât know is that aluminum doesnât have a fatigue limit, meaning ⊠every time you tow with the cybertruck, youâre wearing down the frame a little bit.â
Sounds like the old engineering adage applies: âThereâs a reason you never see a spring made of aluminium.â

Likely extruded parts that are prepared for weld/bolt assembly together to achieve a final complex shape, such as a truck frame. Likely *cheaper for Tesla to cast as a single solid complex shape.
*in the short run.
