Elon Musk’s dad has admitted he isn’t proud of his billionaire son and explained why he married and had a baby with his stepdaughter in a candid radio interview. Errol Musk, 76, was called to Kyle and Jackie O’s show Monday morning for a bizarre 20-minute interview in which he joked that he could be Kyle’s real father. The Tesla CEO’s father said Elon had ‘overstepped the mark’ of what he considered successful but said the Musk family had ‘done a lot for a long time’. ‘Your descendant is a genius. He’s worth so much money and has created so many things, you can’t take that away from him. Are you proud?’ Jackie O asked. ‘Not. You know, we’re a family that’s been doing a lot for a long time, it’s not as if we suddenly started doing something,’ Errol replied.

For much of the past decade, Tesla has had no match in its model battery range and other performance measures. The trend has emerged in one consumer survey and market research report after another: Tesla commands high brand awareness, consideration and loyalty, and customers are mostly happy with its cars. Musk’s antics, on the other hand? They can do without. Creative Strategies, a California-based customer experience gauge, cited owners’ frustration with Musk in a study published in April. A year earlier, research firm Escalent found Musk to be the most negative aspect of the Tesla brand among electric vehicle owners surveyed. “We hear from Tesla owners who will say, ‘Look, I love my vehicle, but I really wish I didn’t have to respond to my friends and family about his latest tweet,’” said Mike Dovorany, who talks to thousands of Tesla users. EV owner and potential buyer for two years working in the automotive and mobility group Escalent. Tesla has so far had no trouble thriving

New Tesla orders no longer come with lifetime access to satellite navigation. Instead, it forms part of a monthly subscription eight years after taking delivery of a new vehicle. 0 See 4 pictures Connectivity features that are taken for granted in modern luxury cars – including satellite navigation – will now become optional in Tesla’s newly ordered electric cars – after they have been in operation for eight years. Found by Teslarati all new Tesla vehicles ordered globally after Wednesday 20 July 2022 will no longer come with lifetime access to the Standard Connectivity plan. Instead, the Standard Connectivity plan – which includes satellite navigation, Bluetooth, playback via USB drive, and FM radio – expires after eight years from the date of shipment, and becomes an optional addition. In North America, the Standard Connectivity package also includes SiriusXM satellite radio capabilities. Tesla didn’t say whether basic functionality like Bluetooth and FM radio would be phased out on

Deep in the Milky Way, roughly 22,000 light-years from Earth, a star unlike any other roars with a magnetic force that beats anything physicists have ever seen. With 1.6 billion Tesla, a pulsar called Swift J0243.6+6124 broke the previous record of around 1 billion Tesla, found in the vicinity of pulsars GRO J1008-57 and 1A 0535+262. For a little context, your average new fridge magnet comes in at around 0.001 Tesla. More powerful MRI machines manage to reach around 3 Tesla. A few years ago, engineers were credited with hitting the semi-respectable 1,200 Tesla, keeping it in a flash of just 100 microseconds. So it makes sense that 1.6 billion Tesla would demand some truly amazing physics. The kind that can only be achieved by massive objects crammed into impossible volumes and spinning at incredible speeds, fast enough to accelerate electrons to ridiculous speeds. Swift J0243.6+6124 is already considered a noteworthy star. A type of super-compact cosmic heavyweight known as a pulsar

The Y is a few thousand dollars more expensive than its sedan sibling (prices seem to have bounced a lot; the Y launched at $68,900 and jumped $3400 a week later). The listed price for our base model version is $72,300, with silver metallic paintwork, 20-inch “Induction” wheels (replacing the 19s that come as standard), premium black and white interior, plus ordering and shipping costs add $7625, and rego etc counts in a few thousand more (gives a total drive-away price in NSW of $84,160). The springy, plastic seating at Y isn’t to everyone’s taste. Inside, the standard edition panoramic glass roof makes for a lighter, brighter and more airy interior (this adds a bit of headroom). I’m not sure about the bright white seating material in our car. It’s soft and supple and very, very plastic. Most everything else impressed, however. The minimalistic, almost buttonless interior generally works well, with discreet and smart multifunction “thumb wheel” controls on the steering wheel th

Australia’s uptake of electric vehicles (EV) is lagging, but tax experts say they have a “silver bullet solution” that will boost sales and help increase the supply of cheaper used EVs. Key points: Business fleets account for 40 percent of light vehicle sales, but almost no electric vehicles Federal tax law acts as a disincentive, experts say Changing this could quickly drive EV uptake and provide consumers with a cheaper supply of used EVs The Commonwealth-funded climate-focused research center RACE for 2030 has released a report recommending tax reforms similar to those in Europe to encourage fleet managers to buy EVs, rather than internal combustion engine (ICEV) vehicles. Prepared by tax experts from the universities of Monash and Griffith, the report describes a sad situation: business fleets (which include government and corporate vehicles) account for 40 percent of light vehicle sales, but almost no electric vehicles. Of the more than 600,000 passenger vehicles and light SUVs so
