Tesla has removed Disney+ from some of its vehicles amid Elon Musk having an online fight with Disney CEO Bob Iger. The fight started when Disney halted its advertising on X after Musk agreed with and amplified antisemitic content, for which he eventually apologized.

Every week, there’s a new drama with Elon Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter. It sometimes indirectly affects Tesla, but this time, it affects it directly.

The current drama stems from Musk giving support to an antisemitic post on X, which he didn’t initially apologize for, though admitted that it was a mistake a week later. He further apologized but was already attacking Disney. In the meantime, the result was a massive backlash, where many companies stopped advertising on X, including Apple and Disney.

Musk took a particular issue with frequent right-wing target Disney – in the interview when he apologized for the tweet, he attacked advertisers for pulling out almost in the same breath.

    Cosmetic build quality is at the bottom of my list of concerns when buying an EV (which has very limited selection still, and consists of 90% inefficient crossovers).

    The Model 3 is one of the most efficient vehicles ever made, which is precisely why it can be so inexpensive.

    It also has excellent driving dynamics and some super obvious features other OEMs lack like a decent app where you can control almost everything from your phone, a built in omnidirectional dashcam, the ability to run the HVAC while parked or adjust the charging speed. The seats are also incredibly comfortable.

    And, most importantly, access to Tesla’s supercharger network, which is thankfully in the process of opening to other vehicles.

      True. I was going to go with Hyundais New Ionic 6 but the model 3 has so much more room and the supercharger network it was kind of a no brainer unfortunately

        Legacy automakers have just been shitting the bed for decades. The entire industry is terrified of any real innovation. Tesla hired Apple engineers to design their infotainment system and apps.
