I have recently learned that in United Arabic Emirates the wait time for a new Tesla (Model 3/Y) is approximately a year and that the cars are exported from China. They have a very large backlog in UAE and Tesla's are extremely popular there.

"The voice of the people [is] the voice of God" means Elon will complete on TWTR this Friday and be inducted as Hermes.Elon's a student of history. From Wikipee:
The Latin phrase Vox populi, vox Dei (/ˌvɒks ˈpɒpjuːli ˌvɒks ˈdeɪi/), 'The voice of the people [is] the voice of God', is an old proverb.An early reference to the expression is in a letter from Alcuin to Charlemagne in 798. The full quotation from Alcuin: [quoted here]:"And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness."This passage indicates that already by the end of the eighth century the phrase had become an aphorism of political common wisdom. Writing in the early 12th century, William of Malmesbury refers to the saying as a "proverb".Of those who promoted the phrase and the idea, Archbishop of Canterbury Walter Reynolds brought charges against King Edward II in 1327 in a sermon "Vox populi, vox Dei".
So this tweet could mean something like 'don't listen to the crowd'? Now whether that means wrt Ukraine or something else remains to be seen.
Cheers!

I guess I need to boycott Always Sunny because I don't want to support anyone that stupid.
Not quite correct, my 2016 build Model X doesn't use the phone as a key, but can use the app to unlock and start the car. But then that being said, I don't need wifi network for that, cellular connectivity is fineWhat utter rubbish. Phone as Key works off BT. Not Wi-Fi.
'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' actor said Tesla 'lost a customer' after his car was stuck in a parking garage for days when his key fob broke
"You guys lost a customer today. I've been a Tesla customer for 10 years," Glenn Howerton said he told a Tesla salesperson during the incident.www.businessinsider.com
Based it on the picture of the car in the article. Possibly an invalid hypothesis on my part. But I think the M3 has had Phone key since day 1 (my father’s ‘18 or ‘19 has it). Plus there’s the keycard which he might not have had with him.As the story notes- he was trying to use the app, not phone as key. Those are different things.
It also notes the age and model of his car isn't known, so his story is 100% possible on older models with no internet connectivity available.
Here's a whole thread about how this is entirely possible on an older S for example which never had BT phone as key- so wifi with the app was the ONLY option other than the fob.
Model S 75 Phone as a key
I have a 2016 Model S 75 (just bought) and the app I downloaded connects to my car and gives me some control but the key is not an option. Am I missing something or is there a feature I need to get this to work?teslamotorsclub.com
He'll hear horror stories about his friend in a competitor's electric car getting stranded using 3rd party chargers and will continue to buy a Tesla.What utter rubbish. Phone as Key works off BT. Not Wi-Fi.

The voice of the people is the voice of God (or dawg in my case)
???
I haven’t looked this up so I have no idea to what he is referring. But I take it as a positive sign that he is Tweeting obscure tweets today.
EDIT: book published in 1709 about right of kings and rights of people. Like I said, obscure.
In this case its in a garage that goes deep underground (The DGA building in Los Angeles) So no signal there.Not quite correct, my 2016 build Model X doesn't use the phone as a key, but can use the app to unlock and start the car. But then that being said, I don't need wifi network for that, cellular connectivity is fine
I suppose there might be some parts of rural America where there's no cell signal, so could be an issue, but sounds very dodgy, agreed
Have to say that I love using my phone as the key for my wife's M3P, and that it knows it's me and adjust the seat, looking forward to my MX Plaid with he same
He sure likes to get his investors to clinch their butts nice and tight an hour before earningsView attachment 865432
Elon just likes giving me heartburn.
The voice of the people matter
I think I failed to conveyed the amount of excitement that there is in UAE for Tesla by people living in the country at various level. I have not seen a discussion on it on this thread. It is hard to estimate it from the wait time on the official website.Design Your Model Y | Tesla

All the best all, bon voyage ... see you on other side of earnings
Why is this topic even in the investing thread?
You do what you do with any other car on the planet, you have a spare at home. Do you think Porsche or Mercedes have service people who fix this stuff remotely?
What kind of an idiot only has a single key fob as their sole way of getting into a car?
I know you didn’t drag this inappropriately into the main thread, but you feel compelled to defend a moron in it.
