Not clear on the construction of your link?  Is it a bit.ly like hash 
run by the onion?

With a tiny bit of research I now understand that .onion TLD addressses 
are only accessible through the TOR browser...  Is .onion a twilight-web 
(vs darkweb)?

original article?

I recommend the following to reluctant/ashamed Tesla Owners:

    Doxing in general is chilling even when inadvertent or "mild".   In
    2020 I was (mildly) shocked to discover that voter-registration data
    at the address level is publicly available.   Of the 4 houses on our
    lane, every one had one "independent" and the second registration
    was split between Donkeys and Elephants.   Unfortunately
    "independent" in the other (besides myself) cases almost assuredly
    maps onto rabid-liberatarian crypto-conservative 2nd amendment. 
    Those registered Red/Blue were the women.  And I think any one on
    the lane looking this info up would come to the same conclusions.
    Our bumper stickers are small but definitely not MAGA.  I hate even
    having to be registered.   There seems to be some ambiguity between
    "independent" and "unaffiliated"... I think "independent" sometimes
    means "Indepenent Party", other times it means "unaffilliated"?  
    messy, ambiguous?

    My daughters both finally went EV about 1.5 years ago. YungerDotter
    opted into TSLA for myriad reasons unrelated to being a
    Muskophile.   She works in a fairly young/startup techBro company in
    Denver where their ModelY doesn't stand out in the parking lot at
    all and they live in a semi-MAGA neighborhood of Denver (Parker)
    where the neighbors are more likely to give them a thumbs up for
    their "choice". Her partner is a project manager for a Raytheon
    division doing satellite tasking.  The Model Y is also not out of
    place in that parking lot and at least half of his peers are
    probably rabid proMusk if not proMAGA or DOGE.   So they aren't
    acutely worried about much vandalism/etc at either end of their
    commute(s) but it has made them acutely aware of a lot of things
    they had been able to not think too much about previously.  They are
    both counter-aligned with DOGE/MAGA/MUSK in virtually every way and
    this is just one more reminder of the impedance mismatch in their
    work/home choices. They both plead Golden Handcuffs.  Dotter is
    considering leaving the (clearly questionable) realm of data-center
    development to join the Japanese iSpace lunar-robotics company
    (branch in Denver).   She's struggling with what that spiritual
    trade-space looks like.  Or she could go back to pushing liquor,
    mortgages, or managing trust-fund-babies' money for them?

    elderDotter went with the bargain Bolt used from Hertz.   She fits
    right in in Portland, on both ends of her commute and everywhere in
    between.   I suspect the depreciation of her sister's TSLA exceeds
    the entire purchase price (with incentives) of the Bolt.  If NIH
    funding (esp for virology and third-world viruses at that) tanks
    (RKjr) she will be very glad not to have taken on a new silly debt
    the size of a TSLA.

    FWIW, they *both* manage a roughly 60 mile RT commute 4-5 days a
    week with Level 1 charging at home only... (couple of bucks per RT) 
    they need a weekend day to catch up for the slow daily deficit of
    charge.   Keeping the battery even more mid-range than the defaults
    is also a good strategy for battery life.   I do wish on each of
    them a DIY PV/inverter setup strictly for their EV charging for a
    (near) carbon-neutral commute...   but I'm not living close enough
    to effect this for them directly.

        My own EV adventure includes my near end-of-life Volt PHEV. I
        bought it at 166k (in 2017) with a failing traction battery and
        put in (non-trivial) a 95k used battery which after about 60k
        miles is now struggling (I'm able to manage it with various
        techniques which I would not wish on anyone else) but no longer
        can get the EV-only trips I used to...  I pretty much have to
        burn .1-.3 gallons of petrol with every RT to LA, Espanola,
        Pojoaque.   As the weather warms, this may get better.   I
        picked up Ford's bargain version with low miles a few weeks ago
        and it will displace the otherwise happy Prius I bought for Mary
        a couple of years ago.  It also (by design limits) wants to burn
        a tiny bit of gas for most RTs from home... most notably the
        2500' climb to Los Alamos.   The Ford battery is just over 1/2
        the capacity of the Volt (when new) but at half the mileage, it
        performs nearly as well.   Both vehicles are showing a roughly
        70mpg equivalent over their lifetimes, but my idiosyncratic use
        is constantly raising that average...

        I'm looking for a homeless person (to gift it to) with regular
        access to a 110 outlet as the HVAC, entertainment system, and
        bucket seats are still good enough to live in, and the EV range
        would allow for a few miles of daily excursion or occasional
        relocation.

        Unfortunately my Hypershell exo isn't able to fully make up for
        my recovery limitations or I'd be "jogging" to Pojoaque for
        groceries with a backpack? 2 hr round trip with only about 5lbs
        of tech overburden (maybe 8 if you include good sturdy shoes and
        helmet if I start running too fast).   With my HMD and a brain
        interface helmet I could maybe be reading/responding to FriAM
        while the Exo FSD feature navigates me to/from the market...
        maybe even knows the route inside the store so all I have to do
        is reach out and pluck my groceries on command.   If I had a
        humanoid robot, I wouldn't have to go at all and if I shifted to
        HUEL or SOYLENT could skip that visit at all.. Just a 50lb bag
        of nutrients delivered monthly?

        What is the line where I become it's meat-puppet or am
        deprecated entirely?   From what I see of the homeless and
        DOGE/MAGA aspirations, the homeless folks are in line for
        deprecation before me but after immigrants.
