Oh, sorry, I thought this was the music theory thread. My bad.

As long as you haven't broken any eggs.

As long as you haven't broken any eggs.

If I have, I'll fashion an English yolk song sweet from them.

If anyone else has any idea what I'm talking about, I'll be well impressed.

If anyone doesn't know and wants to find out, I'll be happy to explain.

If no-one cares, I won't be surprised.

My life is infinitely better for being shared with a former piano teacher. If I want to know more about suspended notes she'll tell me.

If she wants to know about torsion bars and unequal wheelbases I'll help her out.

Both possibilities are unlikely.

I know exactly what you are talking about, but I do have a degree in music ;-)
And yes, frankly that French Suspension joke deserved at the very least, a standing ovation IMHO

Well that's your tombstone sorted!

Tesla sales slump across Europe amid backlash against Musk

The figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) showed registrations for new Teslas halved in April compared to the same month a year earlier, despite a broader rise in battery electric vehicles overall.
...
However, overall battery electric car sales rose by 27.8% in April ...

It isn't just Europe where there problems.
The planned annual production of cybertrucks >250,000 units has stalled with 10,000 units quietly rotting in the US. Eight recalls since launch are not going to help.

With those who already have one and want to get rid of it, facing severe depreciation.

Not Tesla, but Der Auto Fuhrer's AI chat bot Grok, which was integrated into his social media platform earlier this year.
Grok has been inserting "white genocide" in South Africa, into unrelated responses.

Coincidence that the orange dictator brought this up when meeting the South African president?

It seems awfully quiet about Elons call that the Orange rapist tax plans are abomination.

Again, once Musk gets what he wants suddenly he doesn't want it, hates it, etc. No pleasing some people.

The impact of his behaviour on his businesses was totally predictable/foreseeable. Only a fool would fail to recognise or even consider what funding far right, Nazi salutes, destroying public services would do to their businesses.

Is $153bn a lot?

Oh dear, how sad.

I've said it before but the Tesla board urgently need to sack Elon.
