Nothing new in that article. It summarizes what most of us in the "echo chamber" have been saying all along. I have especially been stating EV cost more to own in total inclusive costs and the payback doesn't start until after 80,000 to 100,000 miles, which is 5+ years of ownership. The Professor backs up what I have been saying for years on the Forum. I'm not a Doctorate-holding, Dept. Chair of anything, but I do understand automobile ownership costs. Maybe he's been reading my posts... Lol.

Yes it hit news last year - but more like a swimming/shower cap wit lots of wires, it requires quite a bit of training and active participation of subject and can only detect active thoughts not memories -

Honestly I wish Tesla the best. If you have to buy a EV that is IMO the best choice. I'm seeing more KIA EV's lately.
Seems to be a different customer as it is the younger students driving the Tesla's and the clueless soccer moms driving the KIA's.

Same customers that were paying $10-20k ADMs on KIA Tellurides

Fluoride in water dumbs people down, and is toxic even at "safe" doses.

Yeah, that looks totally reputable...not.

Companies also patent all kinds of crap, which is the way of patent litigation, so they can use it in the future against someone else. A large % of it is not legit...but it's a chess-board of patents and strategy. It's not a conspiracy and it's not a mind-reading airpod. It's the way of the US patent system.

Of course, everything is fake unless they tell you it's real.

That doesn't mean they are "reading your thoughts", as you loosely implied.
