    Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is denying a report that legal chief David Searle quit less than a month ago and that his role is now being taken over by Tesla’s deputy general counsel Dinna Eskin.

    New York-based financial media company Bloomberg cited three sources familiar with the matter, yet Tesla maintains the article is false.

    Searle had been leading an internal investigation into improprieties in the procurement of hard-to-get glass. Omead Afshar, a close confidante of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, was being probed on the matter.

    Most of the studies show in the short term almost no correlation between government spending and inflation.

    Long term it is possible, but it gets very hard to measure because of the incredible number of variables.

    What the democrats deserve credit for is being very politically savvy and naming the bill what they named it.

    I think there is also an element of the American people being tired of gridlock from both parties.

    Regardless, it is a large political win for a President that desperately needed one.

    Manchin is Machiavellian.

    Many innovators at the time took note of the electric vehicle’s high demand, exploring ways to improve the technology. For example, Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the sports car company by the same name, developed an electric car called the P1 in 1898. Around the same time, he created the world’s first hybrid electric car -- a vehicle that is powered by electricity and a gas engine

    Yeah, I was watching something on the History channel about that and was surprised how electric technology was such a huge part of early automobiles, there were several "electric" cars, and it was thought to be the tech before the internal combustion engine took off.

    Mine did that on I-35 a few years back. Luckily it was late at night and there was no one on the road and I grabbed the wheel before it veered off too far. Never used self driving again except when I was in heavy traffic.
