They’re making the new 4680 battery packs in house in Austin

TX. Panasonic makes the 2170 batteries but they haven’t retooled yet to start producing the new tech. Now that Elon has moved to Austin I wonder if he really will partner in some fashion with UT.

Tillman who was a leading advocate and instigator of racial violence, and was one of the pro-lynching leaders in SC.
I don't think Robert E. Lee or Strom Thurmond or John C. Calhoun were evil men. There's a lot of evidence that Tillman was.

Lighten up man...not defending Tillman...just a joke

It will always be Tillman to me, and that is NOT a political statement or a defense of the man.

Black students attended Clemson for decades with Tillman Hall, and everyone was fine.
No one even thought twice about it until some people decided to turn it into a problem.
No way in hail I’m ever calling it “old main” or anything other than Tillman Hall.

Tiger Field was just fine until some self-absorbed prick named it after himself.

The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.
--Willie Shakespeare
Yes, Tillman was a murderous racist, but there wouldn't be a Clemson if he hadn't rammed it through the Legislature over the opposition of the aristocratic faction tied to UofSC. Personally, I don't care about the Tillman Hall/Old Main issue, but let's give the devil his due. He did do some good things.
