Elon Musk has been asked to 'turn off' all Tesla's in Russia

 via Independent.

Elon Musk has been asked to “turn off” Teslas in Russia as he has made superchargers free for people fleeing Ukraine in electric vehicles.


The entrepreneur was inundated with requests from his Twitter followers to shut down his company’s electric vehicles in the country as Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine continues.

A Google check has this story popping up all over the place.  But an "ask" (by Twitter followers) is meaningless.

What means a whole lot is that he apparently has the power to do this!

This is the danger of a corporatology.  They not only charge you for additional "services" but those services can be cut off for whatever reason they deem appropriate.

FUCK THAT!

This alone has me saying hell no to an electric vehicle.  The power grid is vulnerable enough, now you add this issue along with hacking and its just a non-starter to me.

Looks like I'll stick with old tech when it comes to transportation...until they screw us all and no longer provide spare parts.

Guess I'll switch to Alibaba?  What a fucked up beyond recognition world we live in.

Either I climb aboard the corporatology here at home or I support a potentially hostile nation that is at economic war with us?

God help us all.
