In Lawsuit Society, Elon Musk Still Posts Legally Wrong Nonsense — Because He’s Got Enough Money To Get Away With It

This is a commentary piece about Elon Musk and Tesla, not home energy upgrades, so there is nothing here that affects decisions about insulation, heat pumps, or rebates.

The piece criticizes Musk's public statements, including claims about Tesla's Full Self-Driving feature. It notes that federal safety regulators (NHTSA) sent Tesla a request on July 2 asking the company to clarify Musk's social media posts suggesting drivers could text or make espresso while FSD operates, since drivers using the system are still supposed to stay attentive. It also mentions that Tesla has reported more than 200 crashes involving its driver-assistance systems in recent months, according to NHTSA data, and that a Tesla robotaxi was seen driving the wrong way down a one-way street shortly after a limited launch in Tampa.

The article also covers Tesla's business results: US sales fell 13% year over year even as Tesla held just over half the US EV market in the second quarter. Musk pointed to strong demand for FSD as a sales driver, while also cautioning that scaling production of Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, is proving far harder than expected. Tesla's stock price fell sharply after the earnings call, down 29% for the year and nearly 20% in the prior five days.

None of this touches on insulation, heating and cooling equipment, or rebate programs for your house.
