Nobody really wants to talk about this, but if we continue growing indefinitely with this system forever, it will eventually come grinding to a halt.
When we can’t breathe air in our cities, when the climate changes, when oil gets hard to find.
Tesla was designed to fix it.
How?
By building a shit ton of battery packs.
That’s what Tesla does. They mass produce massive numbers of battery packs.
The car is a battery pack with electric motors.
They sell battery packs for your homes.
And large utility scale battery packs for renewables.
Tesla’s vision to reshape the infrastructure that underpins the global economy is this:
Take renewable energy, like wind and solar.
Store it in massive utility batteries
Use Virtual Power Plant software to store it in people’s home batteries and car batteries.
Charge cars
Renewable is great, but the sun doesn’t always shine. The wind doesn’t always blow.
But if you store the energy in battery packs, borrow extra capacity from all the electric cars and homes… you can run a renewable power plant 24/7 and replace fossil fuels completely.
With electric cars and trucks powered by clean energy, we can grow our economy guilt free. Growth no longer means destroying the earth.
Unlike oil which is burned, batteries can be recycled for their metals — which is actually cheaper than mining & refining new metals.
There’s just one last problem — we would have to wait a long time to replace all polluting cars and trucks with electric. Tesla doesn’t like to wait.
So they created Autopilot.
This will allow us to share the clean vehicles we do have, accelerating the transition by a decade
And did I mention Tesla cars are the most fun you’ve ever had? Go give them a try if you haven’t.
Morons laugh and say Tesla is all a joke, a fraud.
But people who’ve really looked into it know this is a once in a generation foundational economic transition.
Don’t sleep on $TSLA.
This company is making foundational improvements to the entire global economy, and it’s bigger than any of us can imagine.
I believe in @elonmusk and his team. They’ve forced the entire industry to get moving.
And it’s beautiful to watch.

“Audi plans to switch to agency sales for its electric models in Europe starting in 2023.
Through this model, cars will be sold directly by the brand to end customers, with dealers acting only as intermediaries” — Auto News @elonmusk
"This is an important step for the human-centric orientation of our sales model and the next logical step into an electric future," an Audi spokesperson told Automotive News Europe in an email.
The spokesperson said, however, that dealers "remain the backbone" of Audi's business, adding that the change was being made to focus on the "rapidly changing" buying behavior of the brand's customers.
“A substantial portion of the recent growth in our net revenues earned from cryptocurrency transactions is attributable to transactions in Dogecoin” — Robinhood S-1
“If demand for transactions in Dogecoin declines and is not replaced by new demand for other cryptocurrencies available for trading on our platform, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected”
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 17% of our total revenue was derived from transaction-based revenues earned from cryptocurrency transactions, compared to 4% for the three months year ended December 31, 2020.
