@maxleibman Indeed - if they were truly intent on upending the social and economic systems in favour of people generally, they would start with UBI, UBS, housing as human right, and they absolutely would not be chasing military contracts.
It's about maintaining the power of the few over the many.

@mkj @rysiek @trisweb @neurovagrant The astronomical cost aside though, at least they'll fit better in the hypothetical station wagon than 2500 HDDs.
Neither's impossible but I know which I'd rather take on the road with standard rear springs 😉

@cstross@wandering.shop Ah, that makes sense - rentals or loans rather than leases. I was imagining they were pretending that they were fleet cars or something. Thanks for clarifying that.

@cstross@wandering.shop @jaark@infosec.exchange @coral@empty.cafe Yes, that's what I'm getting at 😊 I thought vehicle registration papers named the keeper - so the owner, or the lessee - rather than the owner. It's weird that Tesla would need to divulge the vehicles' keepers rather than that being declared at the point of "sale"; I didn't think that was legally allowed.
