I go through this crap every time I try to use the voice commands with my motorcycle helmet comms unit.
It could be useful if it actually worked reliably.
Two things need to happen for Tesla to survive:
1. Elmo sells all of his shares, and GTFO.
2. Rebrand the company.
I think it's already too late- there are lots and lots of perfectly good alternatives available now from an array of car companies and most of them less expensive, built better, and they don't come with any Nazi/DOGE bullshit baggage.
There is a precedent for a successful mfgr with unsavory past political ties.
Read up on the history of Volkswagen, and you will find a prominent Nazi involved.
For example: "Tesla"
A textbook example of a brand becoming toxic and repugnant almost overnight.
But no rebranding in the world will ever redeem Tesla; that stench is built in.

Rebranding is for when people hear the name of your brand and turn away in disgust or bottomless disinterest,

When I was studying in college, this was a common expression used in software development.
It seems to have been forgotten.
As long as AI is being trained by hoovering up everything found online, it will be absorbing massive amounts of bullshit.
Show me an AI that is trained with *curated data*, verified to be correct BEFORE being put in the training data, then I might have a bit of confidence.
Yes. Just search for terms like "Commercial Display", "Commercial Monitor", or "Digital SIgnage".
Companies like BHPhoto, and Newegg have vast selections.
15 years ago I bought a Westinghouse LVM-37w3. (They also made a 43" version). It is purely a monitor large enough to use for the den. It is fed by a my receiver which has a built-in video switch. All video sources, eg TV tuner, Blueray, computer, etc, connect to the receiver. I am still using this today.
For a large selection of such monitors made today, checkout BHPhoto's "Commercial Display" pages:

I did find out that the regional hospital had some ungodly amount of jet fuel stored in a tank under their parking lot.
Probably for their emergency generators.
You don't understand the genius of Steve Jobs. Make it thinner. Make it smaller. NO BUTTONS. NO PORTS. NO CABLES. Infinite efficiency by including no processor or ram. Just a solid thin sheet of aluminum foil. It is perfection.
SNL nailed this in a skit years ago:

I stopped answer them over 10 years ago.
If it is important, they will leave a message.
If they don't then I know it would have been a waste of time to answer.
As I understand it -
At present Gas plants have two purposes - the first is baseload generation when the renewables can't keep up. That's a lot of work, but it isn't very profitable. The second is maintaining grid stability, keeping the grid frequency at 50 or 60 hertz, second by second.
There is a third use: "Peaker" plants that come online only at periods of high demand.
There is one near here: Plains End Power Plant, Arvada, Colorado
Interesting aspect is that it does not run turbines, but uses reciprocating engines from Wärtsilä.
Spare aren't that important and haven't been for years. But I hope we get over this fad of giant rims and low-aspect ratio tires. They are way more susceptible to side-wall damage. And they have a poorer ride, especially on heavy modern cars.
Was reading the other day that electric cars are so much heavier than ice cars that they are going through tires at a much higher rate than ICE cars. And if you scrub a curb with a heavy car and low-aspect ratio tires, the chances of tearing the sidewall is very high.
As an aside, we talk often about plastic pollution, but I wonder what the effect on the environment is of all the billions of particles of synthetic rubber our tires shed every day. I'm just curious.
Jason Fenske (Engineering Explained) made of video of what happened when his Tesla hit a pothole:
