It is, which is why I highly doubt that is what happened. There's a lot of transition going on at the Buffalo plant. I would not be surprised if there are people being hired and fired.
But like the Fremont factory, there may be a few workers pushing for unions but it is unlikely they have made many inroads. Not enough that Tesla would be that worried.
Plus they aren't that stupid to do something blatantly illegal, would think. You get rid of them for other reasons and at least try to make it look like it's not a reprisal.
And I'm kind of doubting this source.

I have always had bad luck with Apple earbuds. I bought the original apple AirPods when they first released and they worked well for a few months.. until they just stopped. I had this same experience with the second pair I got from the warranty accept this time they only worked for a few weeks. I also had a problem with comfort; whenever I would wear them my ears would feel uncomfortable or almost like bruised..

I know the newer versions of AirPods are more developed now and I am considering buying some, which caused me to wonder, could someone who owns a new pair of airpods such as the 2nd generation tell me if they are worth it and if the concerns I mentioned were ever fixed?

Since they're obviously going to make this the default on MacOS/iOS/etc., it'll get a fair bit of early traction. But if it's going to be as absolutely useless as Siri is for even the most basic of web searches, I could see it getting disabled pretty quickly.

They only have one shot to get this right, remember the Apple Maps disaster? A significant number of people will perpetually refuse to even try it because of how bad the initial versions were.

Yeap, close ended questions, just to shove more unrelated ads down our throats. "But you said you like cats! Why do you hate the city's Zoo Lion Exhibit ads?" I like house pet cats, not wild animal cats (still cool, but not shoved Zoo visit ads, I'm 2 hours from the nearest zoo!).

I don't need to see a vacation or traveling ad for the third time this hour. How much more do I have to say, I don't have money to buy anything the ads push, even if I wanted anything that's been shown. lol
