Weird that you didn't share this sentiment when commenting about terrible the US educational system is.

The "bad news is actually good news" post are gonna be wild.

I don't believe this "contact" by regulators has shown that to be the case. However ultimately my point is that this "contact" happened because Tesla's taxis are failing at obeying the law and believing the regulators are out to "get" Tesla (or any company for that matter) is partly why America is facing its current challenges.

Do you think the trump admin is faking the footage of the tesla taxis breaking the law?
