I know that the Twitterpolaypse is a separate discussion, but I think it directly impacts Tesla EV's as well.
If Tesla goes bankrupt, your cars will *NOT* work, given how tightly they are integrated with servers at Tesla.
When Musk was forced to buy Twitter, he used significant leverage from SpaceX and Tesla to do so. And from his actions as of recent, he's opening significant legal liability to him and the company, and appearing that he's operating a scorched earth model to "punish" that fact he was forced to buy Twitter.
If the Twitter situation does come to a head vs Eli Lilly and all the other companies that substantially lost billions in blue-checkmark manipulation and the FTC consent decree - I can see an eventuality that Tesla is also substantially harmed.. Leading to vehicles that no longer work.
- frumper 4y agoYou're saying a Tesla won't drive if Tesla goes bankrupt?
- noasaservice 4y agoI would definitely consider that a possibility. That thing isn't a car - it's an IoT "thing" with wheels and a battery. And anybody who watches InternetOfShit with any regularity realizes that when there's mothership control, disablement and abandonment isn't far behind.
- buffington 4y ago> When Musk was forced to buy Twitter Your definition of "forced" is comical, if not delusional. > If Tesla goes bankrupt, your cars will NOT work, given how tightly they are integrated with servers at Tesla. My Model 3 works just fine whether it can reach Tesla's servers or not. I've driven to places with zero connectivity to anything, charged fully, and continued driving without issue for over 100 miles before having service again. The worst thing that happened is an empty navigation screen.
