And I still believe the antics of Mr M are likely hurting the long term prospects of Tesla - but I also believe that he basically doesn’t care about it a whole lot.
It's voice driven and you can't use YT, etc when you're in motion (though the new rear screen allows you to do that).

These are why people came to the brand and the good that Elon did do. He reduced waste (when CCS came out as the standard, BMW simply said you need to buy the new model; Tesla retrofitted it for a few hundred dollars).

Got to remember that he opened all patents as well (as was the tradition of Nikola who never enforced a patent).

It's a shame he has gone off the deep end now.
