Breaking News: This is a myth spread by idiots. Tesla counts any crashes within 5 seconds, same as the government agencies.

Breaking News: Company that sells self driving software self publishes random test that shows their competitor failing. No other cars tested or even their own system. Test completely contradicts government testing in Europe and the US. Company's last test was found to be faked.

For this year credits made up less than 10% of Tesla's profits. It's greatly exaggerated how much Tesla makes and relies on EV credits.

It's a very common myth about Tesla that it can only be worked on at Tesla centres.

You are reading it wrong. No one can fulfill EV demand right now. Tesla actually seems to have the shortest waiting list and as you pointed out they have two new factories are are still ramping up.

Unless they helped build it too. Tesla wasn't going to build a network with their own money and then just give away access for free.

Yet they issued less than half the number of recalls Ford has and Ford is supposedly one of those experience car makers yet they can't figure out how to install spark plugs.

They are saying our simulations can't prove what we can see. We can see that our solar system has been stable for billions of years but our simulations aren't accurate enough to show that.

An injury that leads to tons of blood loss is very traumatic for the body. A needle that extracts some blood barely registers. These aren't equivalent things.
People needing blood often need multiple transfusions as they are actively loosing blood. The transfused blood buys surgeons time to find and stop the bleed(s). A person donating blood is losing a controlled amount of blood that is safe to lose.
If you lose too much blood organs and tissue start to die due to lack of oxygen. We can't reverse this damage and depending on what died our body is also limited or incapable of repairing the damage too.
Transfusions try to maintain enough blood in the body so the heart and lungs or a bypass machine can keep your body saturated with oxygen. A person donating has no risk of this.
Your body can't just magic out liters of blood. Where would it come from?

They don't. GPS's go faster due to being farther from Earth.

So why is Ford recalling half a million cars for leaky spark plugs that pose a fire risk? Also their fix isn’t actually fixing the leak. It’s drilling holes in the bottom plate so flammable liquids don’t pool.

And their fix doesn’t fix the leak. It just prevents the leaking oil/fuel from pooling where it can catch fire.

It would look basically the same with two galactic planes instead of one. Nothing would change over human time frames so it likely wouldn't affect beliefs at all.

lol Hyundai is recalling hundreds of thousands of cars too. It's just part of being a car maker.

It will turn into a white dwarf. It's not massive enough to explode.

No as they did form. We still don’t know a lot about galaxy formation. Now that we can see very young galaxies we can refine our models to better explain how galaxies form and evolve.

The CMB is the oldest light in the universe. It’s too red shifted for Webb to see. Webb can’t find galaxies older than the CMB.

Water is key for life as we know it so having a bunch of it is good for life. There is basically zero chance Mars had anything past single cell life. It took life on Earth billions of years to go from single cell to multicellular. Mars lost its atmosphere and oceans early on. There wasn’t enough time for life to evolve like it has on Earth.

Not true. It’s due to Mars being tiny. Venus has basically no magnetic field while also being much closer to the Sun. It’s atmosphere melts lead.

This isn’t true. Venus doesn’t really have a magnetic field yet has an atmosphere so dense it would crush you. Planet mass is way more important.

The US banned China over concerns of intellectual property theft. In the last decade China has done nothing to show that they respect international patent laws to the same degree as the West. They've recently been accused of stealing trade secrets from TSMC to get their own chip fabs up to par.
The US doesn't see that as a mistake.

This isn't true. They aren't trying to cause a panic. Some of their rockets uses a sustainer centre core that makes it into a very low orbit. They haven't invested in the tech to relight the engines or add deorbit motors to deorbit it in a controlled fashion.

The insides of a neutron star may be a quark-gluon plasma. On the surface though we’ve only observed white dwarfs for electron degeneracy pressure and neutron stars for neutron degeneracy pressure.
