MUSK DEFENDS BITCOIN DECISION, WILL TESLA START MINING? PLUS PLAID MODEL S BREAKS RECORD

EV Channels Review

The video discusses Tesla's recent decision to suspend Bitcoin as a payment method, with Elon Musk providing further defense by highlighting the cryptocurrency's increasing energy consumption, particularly its reliance on fossil fuels. The reviewer expresses skepticism about Tesla entering the Bitcoin mining business, deeming it unlikely due to cost and efficiency concerns. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to debunking the 'pump and dump' theory surrounding Tesla's Bitcoin involvement. On a more positive note, the review covers the refreshed Plaid Model S setting a new quarter-mile record for production cars at 9.23 seconds, a feat potentially captured for Jay Leno's Garage. Additionally, the video touches on a milestone at Giga Texas with the first test casting using an 8800-ton press and provides an update from Credit Suisse regarding Tesla's sales in China, suggesting that a recent vehicle-breaking incident will have minimal impact.
