Akis Gabriil mentioned that Tesla had on its list of critical suppliers for car production STMicroelectronics for semiconductors, and Infineon Technologies for power control systems. He also included Bosch for chassis and safety systems, Brembo for brake systems, and Continental for tires and sensors in various parts of the vehicle. According to him, the list also included ElringKlinger for structural components and cabin safety bars, and Henkel for chemicals used from the battery to mechanical parts and brakes. Gabriil criticized with insulting terms those who, as he wrote, were fanatical, and claimed that Europe had problems but did not lag in technology or resources. He urged not to adopt the MAGA claim that Europe was behind and announced more posts on the subject. #Tesla #ημιαγωγοί #Αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία (translated)

Gr@ntlɘr wrote that Karl Lauterbach is going viral. The author pointed out that the former Health Minister has now taken over the chairmanship of the Committee for Research, Technology, Space Travel, and Technology Assessment. He also mentioned Lauterbach's previous work with model calculations and what Gr@ntlɘr referred to as mask theater. According to the article, Lauterbach stated that Macron's electric duck is the future, while Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster is "grotesque." This assessment is being spread worldwide as an example of "Made in Germany 2026," wrote Gr@ntlɘr. #KarlLauterbach #MadeInGermany #Viral (translated)

Jari Sarasvuo criticized the title and perspective of the article that reported on Elon Musk's flying Tesla. According to him, the title should have mentioned that Musk introduced the flying Tesla, and in the introduction, it should have stated that Tesla's new Roadster turned in the air with the help of SpaceX's propulsion engines. Sarasvuo wrote that currently, a flying Tesla would be illegal and unsafe in traffic, and that its entry into road traffic could take a long time or might not happen at all. He considered the comments about safety and legality as opinion manipulation and the presentation event as a grand show. He stated that deliveries had previously been more professional. #Tesla #ElonMusk #journalismi (translated)

He believed that this was precisely the problem. #Tesla #technologie #autoindustrie (translated)
