State department hand wringing that China is going to use the US trade agreements as they were designed is chefs-kiss

I fully expect them to redo these with "except china" clauses.

    Agreed ... and the problem with buying a Tesla is I want me, my family, and the people around us on the road to stay alive. But in our case local driving is good enough for us.

      I have a relative that owns a Tesla Model 3 because there is no other charging infrastructure in his part of the country and he bought before everyone knew Elon was a right wing asshole. He let me drive it a couple times. If you don’t use the self driving, a Tesla drives like any other EV. Though, I wouldn’t get in any Tesla if the driver intended to use the self driving.

        Yes... also would be nervous of some OTA update bricking the door latches or some stupid shit like that.
