Well yeah I can't argue with that but it's only a battery, solar farms need far more space.

It is seeking to bar Mr Musk from acting as an officer or director of a publicly traded company.
Mr Musk called the action "unjustified" saying he acted in the "best interests of truth, transparency and investors" "

Ok, THAT was painful. I didn't make it more than a few seconds before I had to stop the video. sorry.

I watched it all, though I am a masochist.

I couldn't stop laughing all the way through, must be an EV owners thing. 

It' s a take off an older Queen Song that I like.  I thought he did a good job making it fit his purpose.
