    Keep in mind I said "Elon's companies", not "Tesla" $4.9 Billion in subsidies as of 2015 across 3 companies https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-201... We can t…

    Elon has received billions from the US government across his companies. It'd be a slap in the face to the entire US population for Tesla to have a 100% proprietary charging network…

    Keep in mind the article is talking about individual fires rather than the all the fires going on simultaneously. So far 26M acres have burned in this season and in populated areas…

    That is true, there are stronger privacy protections in the EU in general. I don't consider the actions here morally justifiable, just legally. As far as it being the actual passwo…
