You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

incidentally, this is precisely what everybody said would happen with robotaxis, huge numbers of empty vehicles clogging up streets.
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Oh, good, further destroy online revenue models. I'm sure OpenAI won't use its own affiliate codes, either, to make money on this. Surely not.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

My 'Not Enron' memo has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my memo.
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

I want to go ask these people some questions about their life choices and what they think they are accomplishing with the "No Elon" sticker on a brand new Tesla.
BREAKING: The New Y now has a No Elon sticker.
You guys will love this.
Older Model Y with No Elon sticker and Make This Car Less Embarrassing sticker.
Parked next to it on the driveway: A new Model Y.

If we survive all of this, Jake Tapper's too late book is going to be lit.
This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

I had an excellent time talking with Craig and Sam about the news of the week. I also suggest at one point automakers adopt a feature from the old IBM ThinkPads, just in case you thought I was out of touch with the youths.

EV Pulse Reunion
This week both Robbie and Nicole are on vacation so Craig Cole is back along with Chad Kirchner. Sam had the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring. Ahead of the LA Auto Show, Lucid also announced the more affordable Touring trim that starts just under $80,000. Jeep has revealed all the details of its first electric off-roader and lets just say we're not sure who is going to buy it. Hyundai showed the production version of the Ioniq 6 N and the new Crater off-road concept that could challenge the Wrangler and Bronco.

Whether or not you think you're right or not, going to the public days of an auto show and pulling apart a car for the clicks makes you a douchebag.
Get media credentials, go during press day, and ask the brand about their build quality. Document that. Do real journalism.
