If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

HAHAHA! Just seen a video of a Tesla robot grabbing its head and collapsing! It turns out it was mimicking its human operator removing their VR headset!!!

Anyone need more proof that Tesla is built on smoke and mirrors and is a stock pumping scam....?
