November 11 I came out from my infusion to meet this sight in the parking lot:
Thankfully it was only smoke and mirrors. Lighting and reflection.

At least you protected the right side by where you parked.
The convex and concave surfaces on today's cars can really create some illusions. Musk of late is getting off world attention. A few years ago when I first stumbled across Elizabeth April's work involving remote viewing I didn't know remote viewing was a thing the USA military was funding. She now sees Musk potentially living into his '70s and '80s and getting into many more things than he is today.
About the last 90 seconds she lost her video but she was at the end and when she learned that people could hear she went ahead and finished it up with just audio.

As Grumpycat has pointed has pointed out FSD 12.xxxx can be discouraging.
I have been using FSD since February 2023 and the new AI version has been stressful.
It sounds like the billions recently spent by Tesla on AI training computers has version 13 looking sharp according to what I heard in this podcast.
While version 13 is designed for the robo taxi industry there are more 70 and 80-year-old Tesla owners using FSD to increase their safety profile. Personally, I would not be excited about taking a 3,000 mile crossed country road trip without access to FSD. I can tell you Tesla FSD gets pissed trying to drive with only one headlight at night.

Model 3 roof Toughness.
Here is a model 3 incident: Load of Logs land on roof, ZERO injuries. Some hail incidents have peppered the driver with Glass though.

Article should be labeled "the dark side of manufacturing", as the problem is not at all unique to EV's. Hit pieces that pretend otherwise really aren't of any use to anyone, other than those subscribing to an agenda, by those who don't even consider such issues when applied to every other item they purchase.
Please don't ask where your clothes were manufactured, or what child labor was involved, it might be worse than any EV. Labor conditions like this should be fought everywhere, on all fronts, not used as a propaganda tool against one particular technology.

That was very true at one point in the past but today I think Cobalt is used mainly for gasoline refining when it comes to vehicle use.

Boo hoo hoo! Cobalt! Child labor! Doom and Gloom!
Them only reason there is child slave labor in Congo is that is accepted practice there, and mining/processing of cobalt is essentially outlawed here. We do it cleaner than anyone, we used to be the world’s supplier. Then enlightened Globalists gifted exclusivity to this market to the 3rd world then China took over and the Globalists looked the other way.
We had plenty of uses for cobalt before EVs came along. EVs do not consume cobalt so recycled batteries are rich sources of cobalt and other minerals.
