After 9 year of yanking customers chains I thought Tesla would actually deliver some Roadsters today. Instead they did another concept demo, for a promised vehicle with no price and no production date.

Trump's brain is busted: "You couldn't vote. They wouldn't let you vote. And they grabbed her and they said 'you'll vote over here,' and they took her to a Democrat area. She voted. She came back. You couldn't vote. They came back late in the night."

Trump has been promising some version of universal healthcare since 2015. He has been “2 weeks” away from passing a comprehensive healthcare bill for 11 years.

Musk explains why Tesla Robotaxi is not running at night, and lidar is the answer
Elon Musk says Tesla Robotaxi is limited at night by pets that are hard to see. Lidar and radar handle that, and Tesla removed its radar in 2021.

Elon is saying that robotaxi isn’t running at night because “grey cats” are hard to see. Because he refused lidar despite the obvious benefits. If you know Elon’s style, he would murder a thousand cats a night if it meant pushing autonomy faster. I suspect it actually can’t see humans at night.

The Trump administration is not publishing data on the gap in unpaid taxes. The most recent estimate of this tax gap was $700 billion in 2022. After severe IRS staff cuts and fewer audits on the wealthy, this gap has likely grown under Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

Billions in Taxes Go Unpaid. Under Trump, the I.R.S. Won’t Say How Much.
The absence of the annual estimate on the tax gap could make it more difficult to assess whether more taxes are going unpaid since President Trump took office.
