I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
Teslas vs legacy ICE vehicle fleets:
• Most American-made
• Cheaper to operate
• Faster & more powerful
• Safer
• Better tech
• Better for environment
• Can drive themselves
It's a no-brainer.
Tesla’s Supercharger network had a ridiculous Q2.
2 terawatt-hours delivered in 3 months.
That is roughly enough electricity to power 180,000+ U.S. homes for a year.
60 million charging sessions.
266 kWh sold per plug per day.
Wait times below 0.5%.
5,000 site maps live.
17% YoY growth.
The wild part is that the network is getting busier while the waiting gets smaller.
A very satisfying graph.

America needs to build again, and it is building.
We kick off our @corememory 4th of July American manufacturing extravaganza with the latest temple to metal built by @elonmusk and the @tesla_semi team.
This is an hour+ tour of the Tesla Semi factory in Nevada alongside @danWpriestley.
This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich.
Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are.
But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar.
They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly.
It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy.
Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.
