A good rant, Wayne. :-)

Why is so necessary to have all this talk about Tesla's sales...
99% of the public couldn't care less about EVs, but they do love a good
fight. They like to boo the villains, and cheer for the little guy. Car
dealers are high on many people's list of villains, so they'll cheer for
Tesla even though they don't give a d**n about EVs.
The other likely reason is that Tesla stock is (finally) moving up. Lots
of people only care about money, so this gets them interested in Tesla.
They could be selling baby formula made out of toxic waste, and they'd
*still* buy the company if it meant making big money.
Now on the batteries.. that's even a bigger joke. When I read about a
new, improved, change your life battery and see their web site, the first
thing you see is an "investor" tab. LOL I smell scam...
For a very long time, promoting "miracle" batteries has been one of the
tried-and-true ways to swindle people out of money. Here's a quote from
Tom Edison in 1883!
"The storage battery is one of those peculiar things which appeals to
the imagination, and no more perfect thing could be desired by stock
swindlers than that very selfsame thing... Just as soon as a man gets
working on the secondary battery it brings out his latent capacity for
lying."
