Dealerships for other brands in the US are independent privately owned enterprises not owned by the major auto makers.

Tesla doesn't have dealerships in this sense. They do have corporate owned locations in some states where they are allowed to sell directly to consumers however that is only some states as laws prohibit automakers from selling directly in many.

This is never going to happen top down. If you want actual electoral reform start working from there button up. We used to be allowed other forms of elections for municipal elections in Ontario but Doug fucked that up

They (and every other tech company) have been doing this type of thing for nearly 20 years. You might see some whinging about it in some corners of the Internet, like here, but most people don't know or don't give a shit.

It sucks.

Vertical tab key on the left makes me think they tore the keyboard out of an IBM Selectric ( or similar 1960s electric typewriter as I have not seen one with beige keys). Image is too blurry to tell if the left shift looks right though.

If they didn't just put it in an enclosure they made then it's probably a terminal of some sort like a DECwriter, but not that cause it looks like it only came in black.

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

Tesla's stock price has been firmly disconnected from reality for a while now so probably
