It is pretty incredible that you can do that with an electric jetski. With the Taiga Orca, you can both go nuts or quietly enjoy nature like that. (sound on)

I am super proud of my mom, Caroline Singler, who launched a new website for her art.

Too many English Canadians love a reason to trash Quebec, but it's also a competition problem. When I first reported that Austin won the Tesla Gigafactory against Oklahoma, I received a ton of hate from Oklahomans as if I'm the one who took the decision.

Since I've been reporting on the possibility of Tesla building a factory in Quebec, I've seen a lot of Quebec bashing and French Canadian hate. Do better. You can root for your region without trashing another.

Debbie, replacing an EV battery is equivalent to replacing the engine inside a gas-powered not its 12-volt battery, which only serves to start the engine (amongst other things).

The average cost of replacing an electric vehicle battery is over $10,000, while the average cost of replacing the battery of a gas-powered car is $100-$200.

You gotta respect Mark's stubbornness. He was one of the first $TSLAQ I butted head with a decade ago now. He has been remarkably consistent in wrongly predicting Tesla's growth and calling a demand drop-off. 10 years later now, he is still at it. It's a skill to be that wrong.

Thanks to everyone participating in the legal defense fundraiser - donating or sharing the story. Every bit helps. I plan to see it to the end this time. For free speech and for retail investors.

Dan, if this apology is sincere, pull down the video right away and kill the national ads running it right now. Anything else would be completely disingenuous even if you still believe FSD Beta is bad as you seem to claim in this "apology".

Apology
I’m sorry that I misled you. I relied on reports from others that I did not verify. But now having personally experienced 20 hours of @ElonMusk’s Full Self-Driving...
I can report that it is the most incompetently designed, implemented and tested product I've ever seen.

Can you imagine demanding an apology from someone criticizing a report that you paid for and distributed and then admitting that you didn't even verify the report? I would want to crawl in a hole and never come out of it.

I am myself critical of FSD Beta and normally, I'd welcome someone spending money to put it through serious independent scientific testing, but that's just not it. please come to your senses, put this video down. That's if your intentions are truly good here.

The fact that the guy is willing to put his name on this video and bill himself as a safety engineer is astonishing to me. At best, this is an extremely poorly conducted test of Tesla's FSD Beta and at worst, it was a deliberately manipulated test to attack the system.

Therefore, everything points to Dan running 'tests' until they achieved the desired result: hitting the dummy. By itself, that makes it completely unscientific and useless, and on top of it, there's the question of potentially intentionally misusing FSD to achieve the result.

What is also clear is that Dan's team has confused some of the footage and released footage that wasn't of the 3 attempts that are listed in the report that resulted in impacts on the dummy at 24 mph, 27 mph, and 25 mph.

I tend to believe that it's true that in 3 attempts, the vehicle hit the dummy, but the question is under what circumstances and it's impossible to know that based on the footage that was released - like the conveniently unreadable warning message that appears in all videos.

Some of the attempts FSD Beta didn't engage, like in the footage that made the ad, in some it did, but it didn't achieve the results that Dan wanted - aka hitting the dummy.

Since has refused to respond to my questions that could clear this whole thing up, we are going to have to speculate. What I think happened is that Dan ran a lot of attempts in his FSD Beta test. This isn't stated in the report, but the driver's affidavit confirmed:

Dan, you need to stop claiming that I fabricated the story and answer the questions instead. I gave you and your PR team many opportunities to answer really simple questions both prior and after the article was released. Why aren't you answering them:

Also, I think it would be fair for you to include in your obviously completely selfless campaign to protect the public against Tesla's FSD Beta that your company happens to compete in the same sector. No?

When pointed out, The Dawn Project didn't respond if they plan to still run this ad regardless of the fact that they mistakenly failed to engage FSD Beta. The video already has almost a quarter of a million hits on youtube and many more on social media:

If my article and postings are removed, one could argue that it will help push this narrative that it never happened just as they are trying to raise funds from small investors through a Regulation A crowdfunding effort.
