This seems smart, there doesn't seem to be too much wrong with opening the door to investors. Once the investors start supporting the Tesla M3 and EV entry luxury cars, they will be also interested in investing in the infrastructure to support these kinds of solutions.
If sales and orders continue rising, and he requires investments, then he's already hooked in investors. Tesla might just prove themselves to be the gateway to a new infrastructure model.
How much "drift" do you guys have to deal with when using consumer electronics? I don't imagine the calibration being too difficult or numerous these days. Wi-Fi these days is cheap and of high quality.
It's like the $10,000 dollar hammer, but this is far worse.
With the hammer, government apologists claimed it was to "secretly move money for DoD"... which really means it was the DoD and military just giving themselves a shit ton of money.
The US is very corrupt. The DoD dodged a bullet when 9/11 happened because that was the day they were going to be put under investigation.
Sadly enough, nothing happened at all, and this type of political graft is very common among the military and their politicians.
A recent case for example is the head of University of California who does not even belong there and is completely ill qualified to lead a college. Her only real experience is as a _spy chief_ for the military and DHS.
This type of political graft resulting from military connections is going to be far more common and invade further into civilian infrastructures. It's not like the NSA's complete treasonous behavior in spying on the US citizens they're supposed to protect isn't bad enough... that isn't even the tip of the iceberg, I'd wager. Before that of course was the CIA funneling drugs into cities to fund their own pockets and programs. Or even the joke of the "war on drugs" which all it was meant to do was control the profit flow of illegal street drugs.
These styles of military programs, also known as soft power projection, directed at the US population and citizens is getting far more common and invasive. These days, it is almost considered the norm.

It is just naive or dumb to think Google is left alone when they don't give access to the government. Of course they give access, but in the interest of being a vital source of intelligence and data they put on an act.
Google got hustled. Nest was a disaster from the start. They are barely even a one-off. The best thing Google got out of their 3.2 billion dollar purchase was a patent troll.
These silicon valley companies made these horrible buyouts in the billions, and they have yet to feel the effects.
Or.. Maybe they are just working on their thug life portfolio? A bit sidetracked at best.
Umm... how old is this hack? Over a decade ago, one of my friends used to drive a somewhat nice car that he modded and fixed up on his own. He always threw his keys with the alarm dongle thing, etc... in the freezer and I never asked why.
edit: Although his car was still eventually stolen when the thieves used some kind of specialized tools to bend his car's hood. The tool allowed them to bend the hood without triggering the alarm somehow and cut the power sources to the alarms. Then they put it on a repo/tow truck and drove away. I guess he showed his alarm to the wrong hot girl he would always bring around when we all hanged out.
When the police found the car everything was gone except for the car's frame and bent hood.
This is one of the faultier parts of having to answer to share holders. Apple is finding it more difficult to justify having their own entire supply chain rather than relying on other companies (i.e. Intel, IBM, Samsung, etc...)
If they didn't make that horrible mistake of their recent multi-billion dollar purchases, they'd have extra billion atleast towards a fab plant.
I'm laughing at Apple right now. Idiots. You Apple board... are stupid.
