Tesla's (TSLA) $1.5bn (£1bn) investment in bitcoin (BTC-USD) has a carbon footprint equivalent to the annual emissions of 1.8m cars, according to estimates from Bank of America. Analysts on the investment bank's global commodity research team on Wednesday published a major report on bitcoin, concluding that the cryptocurrency has a large and growing impact on the environment.

Why are they allowed to sell carbon credits then turn and use the money to pollute the environment?

Submission + - Autopilot lie exposed by consumer reports. (arstechnica.com)

Rei_is_a_dumbass writes: Elon Musk has tweeted that "data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled." Tesla defenders also insisted that Autopilot couldn't have been active because the technology doesn't operate unless someone is in the driver's seat. Consumer Reports decided to test this latter claim by seeing if it could get Autopilot to activate without anyone in the driver's seat.

It turned out not to be very difficult.

That’s not what the fire chief said. He said they had to spend four hours constantly putting water on it to keep the batteries cool to ensure it didn’t reignite. Rei like musk has zero credibility. Let’s remind some lies told by musk and parroted by rei.

Submission + - "No one was driving the car": 2 men killed when driverless Tesla crashs & bu (click2houston.com)

McGruber writes: Two men were killed when a driver-less Tesla crashed into a tree and burned. Harris County, Texas Constable Mark Herman said that the investigation showed “no one was driving” the 2019 Tesla when the crash occurred. There was a person in the passenger seat of the front of the car and a person in the rear passenger seat of the car.

KPRC 2 reporter Deven Clarke spoke to one victim's brother-in-law who said the victim was taking the car out for a spin with his best friend, so there were just two in the vehicle. The owner backed out of the driveway and then may have hopped in the back seat only to crash a few hundred yards down the road. He said the owner was found in the back seat upright.

Authorities said they used 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames because the vehicle’s batteries kept reigniting. At one point, Herman said, deputies had to call Tesla to ask them how to put out the fire in the battery.
