Tesla's Dieselgate

Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a “utopian socialist.” He lies about being a “free speech absolutist.” He lies about which companies he founded:

https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cofounder-martin-eberhard-interview-history-elon-musk-ev-market-2023-2 He lies about being the “chief engineer” of those companies:

https://www.quora.com/Was-Elon-Musk-the-actual-engineer-behind-SpaceX-and-Tesla

He lies about really stupid stuff, like claiming that comsats that share the same spectrum will deliver steady broadband speeds as they add more users who each get a narrower slice of that spectrum:

https://www.eff.org/wp/case-fiber-home-today-why-fiber-superior-medium-21st-century-broadband

The fundamental laws of physics don’t care about this bullshit, but people do. The comsat lie convinced a bunch of people that pulling fiber to all our homes is literally impossible — as though the electrical and phone lines that come to our homes now were installed by an ancient, lost civilization. Pulling new cabling isn’t a mysterious art, like embalming pharaohs. We do it all the time. One of the poorest places in America installed universal fiber with a mule named “Ole Bub”:

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-one-traffic-light-town-with-some-of-the-fastest-internet-in-the-us

Previous tech barons had “reality distortion fields,” but Musk just blithely contradicts himself and pretends he isn’t doing so, like a budget Steve Jobs. There’s an entire site devoted to cataloging Musk’s public lies:

https://elonmusk.today/

But while Musk lacks the charm of earlier Silicon Valley grifters, he’s much better than they ever were at running a long con. For years, he’s been promising “full self driving…next year.”

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/09/herbies-revenge/#100-billion-here-100-billion-there-pretty-soon-youre-talking-real-money

He’s hasn’t delivered, but he keeps claiming he has, making Teslas some of the deadliest cars on the road:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/10/tesla-autopilot-crashes-elon-musk/

Tesla is a giant shell-game masquerading as a car company. The important thing about Tesla isn’t its cars, it’s Tesla’s business arrangement, the Tesla-Financial Complex:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/24/no-puedo-pagar-no-pagara/#Rat

Once you start unpacking Tesla’s balance sheets, you start to realize how much the company depends on government subsidies and tax-breaks, combined with selling carbon credits that make huge, planet-destroying SUVs possible, under the pretense that this is somehow good for the environment:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/14/for-sale-green-indulgences/#killer-analogy

But even with all those financial shenanigans, Tesla’s got an absurdly high valuation, soaring at times to 1600x its profitability:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/15/hoover-calling/#intangibles

That valuation represents a bet on Tesla’s ability to extract ever-higher rents from its customers. Take Tesla’s batteries: you pay for the battery when you buy your car, but you don’t own that battery. You have to rent the right to use its full capacity, with Tesla reserving the right to reduce how far you go on a charge based on your willingness to pay:

https://memex.craphound.com/2017/09/10/teslas-demon-haunted-cars-in-irmas-path-get-a-temporary-battery-life-boost/

That’s just one of the many rent-a-features that Tesla drivers have to shell out for. You don’t own your car at all: when you sell it as a used vehicle, Tesla strips out these features you paid for and makes the next driver pay again, reducing the value of your used car and transfering it to Tesla’s shareholders:

https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/6/21127243/tesla-model-s-autopilot-disabled-remotely-used-car-update

To maintain this rent-extraction racket, Tesla uses DRM that makes it a felony to alter your own car’s software without Tesla’s permission. This is the root of all autoenshittification:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon

This is technofeudalism. Whereas capitalists seek profits (income from selling things), feudalists seek rents (income from owning the things other people use). If Telsa were a capitalist enterprise, then entrepreneurs could enter the market and sell mods that let you unlock the functionality in your own car:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/06/11/1-in-3/#boost-50

But because Tesla is a feudal enterprise, capitalists must first secure permission from the fief, Elon Musk, who decides which companies are allowed to compete with him, and how.

Once a company owns the right to decide which software you can run, there’s no limit to the ways it can extract rent from you. Blocking you from changing your device’s software lets a company run overt scams on you. For example, they can block you from getting your car independently repaired with third-party parts.

But they can also screw you in sneaky ways. Once a device has DRM on it, Section 1201 of the DMCA makes it a felony to bypass that DRM, even for legitimate purposes. That means that your DRM-locked device can spy on you, and because no one is allowed to explore how that surveillance works, the manufacturer can be incredibly sloppy with all the personal info they gather:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/29/tesla-model-3-keeps-data-like-crash-videos-location-phone-contacts.html

All kinds of hidden anti-features can lurk in your DRM-locked car, protected from discovery, analysis and criticism by the illegality of bypassing the DRM. For example, Teslas have a hidden feature that lets them lock out their owners and summon a repo man to drive them away if you have a dispute about a late payment:

https://tiremeetsroad.com/2021/03/18/tesla-allegedly-remotely-unlocks-model-3-owners-car-uses-smart-summon-to-help-repo-agent/

DRM is a gun on the mantlepiece in Act I, and by Act III, it goes off, revealing some kind of ugly and often dangerous scam. Remember Dieselgate? Volkswagen created a line of demon-haunted cars: if they thought they were being scrutinized (by regulators measuring their emissions), they switched into a mode that traded performance for low emissions. But when they believed themselves to be unobserved, they reversed this, emitting deadly levels of NOX but delivering superior mileage.

The conversion of the VW diesel fleet into mobile gas-chambers wouldn’t have been possible without DRM. DRM adds a layer of serious criminal jeopardy to anyone attempting to reverse-engineer and study any device, from a phone to a car. DRM let Apple claim to be a champion of its users’ privacy even as it spied on them from asshole to appetite:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar

Now, Tesla is having its own Dieselgate scandal. A stunning investigation by Steve Stecklow and Norihiko Shirouzu for Reuters reveals how Tesla was able to create its own demon-haunted car, which systematically deceived drivers about its driving range, and the increasingly desperate measures the company turned to as customers discovered the ruse:

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/

The root of the deception is very simple: Tesla mis-sells its cars by falsely claiming ranges that those cars can’t attain. Every person who ever bought a Tesla was defrauded.

But this fraud would be easy to detect. If you bought a Tesla rated for 353 miles on a charge, but the dashboard range predictor told you that your fully charged car could only go 150 miles, you’d immediately figure something was up. So your Telsa tells another lie: the range predictor tells you that you can go 353 miles.

But again, if the car continued to tell you it has 203 miles of range when it was about to run out of charge, you’d figure something was up pretty quick — like, the first time your car ran out of battery while the dashboard cheerily informed you that you had 203 miles of range left.

So Teslas tell a third lie: when the battery charge reached about 50%, the fake range is replaced with the real one. That way, drivers aren’t getting mass-stranded by the roadside, and the scam can continue.

But there’s a new problem: drivers whose cars are rated for 353 miles but can’t go anything like that far on a full charge naturally assume that something is wrong with their cars, so they start calling Tesla service and asking to have the car checked over.

This creates a problem for Tesla: those service calls can cost the company $1,000, and of course, there’s nothing wrong with the car. It’s performing exactly as designed. So Tesla created its boldest fraud yet: a boiler-room full of anti-salespeople charged with convincing people that their cars weren’t broken.

This new unit — the “diversion team” — was headquartered in a Nevada satellite office, which was equipped with a metal xylophone that would be rung in triumph every time a Tesla owner was successfully conned into thinking that their car wasn’t defrauding them.

When a Tesla owner called this boiler room, the diverter would run remote diagnostics on their car, then pronounce it fine, and chide the driver for having energy-hungry driving habits (shades of Steve Jobs’s “You’re holding it wrong”):

https://www.wired.com/2010/06/iphone-4-holding-it-wrong/

The drivers who called the Diversion Team weren’t just lied to, they were also punished. The Tesla app was silently altered so that anyone who filed a complaint about their car’s range was no longer able to book a service appointment for any reason. If their car malfunctioned, they’d have to request a callback, which could take several days.

Meanwhile, the diverters on the diversion team were instructed not to inform drivers if the remote diagnostics they performed detected any other defects in the cars.

The diversion team had a 750 complaint/week quota: to juke this stat, diverters would close the case for any driver who failed to answer the phone when they were eventually called back. The center received 2,000+ calls every week. Diverters were ordered to keep calls to five minutes or less.

Eventually, diverters were ordered to cease performing any remote diagnostics on drivers’ cars: a source told Reuters that “Thousands of customers were told there is nothing wrong with their car” without any diagnostics being performed.

Predicting EV range is an inexact science as many factors can affect battery life, notably whether a journey is uphill or downhill. Every EV automaker has to come up with a figure that represents some kind of best guess under a mix of conditions. But while other manufacturers err on the side of caution, Tesla has the most inaccurate mileage estimates in the industry, double the industry average.

Other countries’ regulators have taken note. In Korea, Tesla was fined millions and Elon Musk was personally required to state that he had deceived Tesla buyers. The Korean regulator found that the true range of Teslas under normal winter conditions was less than half of the claimed range.

Now, many companies have been run by malignant narcissists who lied compulsively — think of Thomas Edison, archnemesis of Nikola Tesla himself. The difference here isn’t merely that Musk is a deeply unfit monster of a human being — but rather, that DRM allows him to defraud his customers behind a state-enforced opaque veil. The digital computers at the heart of a Tesla aren’t just demons haunting the car, changing its performance based on whether it believes it is being observed — they also allow Musk to invoke the power of the US government to felonize anyone who tries to peer into the black box where he commits his frauds.

Automotive Glass Market Drivers Include Safety, Aesthetics, Light weighting and Technological Advancements

The automotive glass market is evolving rapidly due to growing consumer demand for safer, more efficient, and visually appealing vehicles. Glass in modern automobiles is no longer limited to offering visibility or protection from environmental elements; instead, it is an integral component in vehicle design, performance, and smart functionality. The global automotive glass industry is being driven by various factors such as safety standards, technological innovations, lightweighting trends, and increasing vehicle production—especially in emerging economies.

Safety Standards as a Core Driver One of the primary automotive glass market drivers is the rising emphasis on safety regulations across the automotive sector.

Electrochromic or smart glass allows drivers to adjust tint levels to suit changing lighting conditions, improving comfort and reducing glare. HUD technology, projected onto the windshield, provides drivers with critical information without diverting their attention from the road. These technologies are no longer limited to premium vehicles, making them a key automotive glass market driver across segments.

Aesthetic Appeal and Consumer Preferences Modern consumers are increasingly influenced by aesthetics and premium appeal when choosing vehicles. As a result, panoramic sunroofs, frameless windows, and curved windshields are becoming more popular, especially in SUVs and electric vehicles. Automakers are responding to these preferences by using advanced shaping and manufacturing techniques for automotive glass, which enhances the vehicle's overall visual profile and interior ambiance. These design-driven demands are further driving innovations in glass strength, flexibility, and finishing.

Lightweighting for Fuel Efficiency and Sustainability The global push for fuel efficiency and sustainability has compelled automakers to reduce vehicle weight without compromising safety or performance. Automotive glass, particularly in electric vehicles (EVs), is being engineered with lightweight materials such as Gorilla Glass and chemically strengthened composite glass. These materials maintain structural integrity while reducing weight, contributing significantly to better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. As EV adoption continues to grow, lightweight glass will remain one of the most influential automotive glass market drivers.

Electric and Autonomous Vehicle Integration The surge in electric and autonomous vehicles (AVs) has introduced new requirements for automotive glass. In EVs, larger glass surfaces are being used to enhance natural lighting and cabin space perception. Meanwhile, AVs require high-tech glazing that supports sensor transparency, HUD systems, and climate control features. As such vehicles become more mainstream, automakers are investing in specialized glass that complements these futuristic technologies, reinforcing its role as a strategic driver in the market.

Growing Vehicle Production in Emerging Economies In countries like China, India, and Brazil, rising income levels and urbanization have led to increased demand for both passenger and commercial vehicles. This, in turn, has elevated the need for automotive glass products. Local manufacturers are upgrading their production capabilities to match international quality and safety standards. Moreover, regional governments are promoting domestic manufacturing under various industrial policies, directly stimulating market expansion.

Aftermarket Demand and Customization Trends Another significant automotive glass market driver is the booming aftermarket segment. Consumers are increasingly looking to upgrade their vehicle windows and windshields with features such as UV protection, tinting, and smart film layers. The trend of vehicle personalization and customization also extends to glass, encouraging aftermarket manufacturers to offer a wide range of high-performance glass solutions that meet consumer needs beyond the OEM supply.

Conclusion: A Multi-Dimensional Growth Trajectory The automotive glass market is navigating a transformative phase with multiple converging drivers. Safety and regulatory compliance, combined with consumer demand for enhanced aesthetics and comfort, are reinforcing the significance of high-performance glass in modern vehicles. Technological advancements in smart and lightweight glass are aligning with macro trends like electric mobility and autonomous driving. Additionally, robust vehicle production and aftermarket dynamics further fuel the growth of this sector.

Automotive Bearing Market Overview: Growth Drivers and Future Trends

The Automotive Bearing Market is experiencing significant momentum as advancements in vehicle technology, rising production rates, and demand for fuel-efficient components drive global growth. Bearings play a critical role in reducing friction and wear in automotive systems, ensuring smooth operation of wheels, engines, transmissions, and other moving parts. As the automotive landscape evolves, so does the demand for high-performance, durable, and technologically advanced bearings.

Rising Vehicle Production and Electrification Fueling Market Growth

One of the key growth drivers in the automotive bearing market is the steady increase in global vehicle production, including both internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). The shift toward electrification, in particular, is transforming design requirements, leading to a rise in demand for specialized EV bearings that offer high-speed performance, low noise, and extended service life.

Additionally, with growing consumer preference for premium vehicles and SUVs, automakers are focusing on enhanced durability and safety, prompting higher investments in quality bearing solutions. Automotive bearing manufacturers are responding by innovating with lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials and advanced sealing technologies.

Technological Advancements and Smart Bearings

The integration of smart automotive bearings equipped with sensors is a major trend reshaping the market. These bearings provide real-time data on temperature, load, and vibration, enabling predictive maintenance and improving vehicle safety and performance. As automotive IoT and connected car technologies gain traction, the demand for intelligent bearing systems is expected to grow.

Market players in the automotive bearing industry are increasingly collaborating with OEMs and tech firms to develop next-generation products that support autonomous driving and ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems), which require precise motion control and reliability.

Rising Aftermarket Demand and Sustainability Push

The automotive bearing aftermarket is expanding due to the growing need for replacement parts in aging vehicles, especially in developing economies. Vehicle owners are seeking cost-effective and high-quality components that extend vehicle life and improve performance. This trend is creating new revenue streams for aftermarket suppliers and bearing distributors worldwide.

Simultaneously, environmental concerns are pushing the industry toward eco-friendly bearing solutions. Manufacturers are exploring recyclable materials, improved lubrication technologies, and energy-efficient designs to reduce emissions and meet stringent regulatory standards.

Future Outlook: Innovation and Regional Expansion

The future of the automotive bearing market will be shaped by innovation, material advancements, and regional growth opportunities. Asia-Pacific continues to dominate the market due to its strong automotive manufacturing base, especially in China and India. However, North America and Europe are witnessing increased demand for high-end and electric vehicles, creating space for premium bearing products.

Automotive bearing market trends indicate a strong push toward automation, sustainability, and customization. Companies that invest in R&D, smart manufacturing, and strategic partnerships will maintain a competitive edge in this evolving landscape.

Conclusion

The Automotive Bearing Market is on a dynamic growth trajectory, supported by the rise in EV production, demand for smart vehicle technologies, and a robust aftermarket. For automotive manufacturers, market players, and industry consultants, understanding these trends and aligning with shifting market dynamics is essential to seizing long-term growth opportunities.

The GMC Hummer EV can go from 0 to 60 mph in just about 3.5 seconds, which is mind-blowing for a vehicle this size and weight. This rapid acceleration combined with electric torque makes it ideal for both city driving and rugged off-road adventures.

The battery can be charged using fast DC chargers, allowing an 80% charge in roughly 25-30 minutes, making it practical for longer trips. Home charging setups using Level 2 chargers can fully recharge the battery overnight, perfect for daily users.

Design and Exterior: Bold Looks with Practical Features

Two large digital displays dominate the dashboard — a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system powered by Google, offering intuitive controls and smartphone integration. Noise insulation, climate control, and adjustable seating add to passenger comfort, making long trips enjoyable. The rear seats fold flat, providing ample cargo space for gear or luggage.

Pricing and Availability: What to Expect in 2025
