It may be one of your installed extensions or the analysers, try switching them off and see if it still happens. I get something similar in VS code where it freezes for a few seconds.

The man has no limits when it comes to making "coin".
Quote: Tesla has been ordered by a Norwegian court to pay more than 30 customers $16,000 each for slashing the battery life and charging abilities of older Tesla Model S vehicles with a software update.

You can hate him all you want, I like the guy for the most part.
He has done more good for mankind than not, and is continuing to do great things for space travel and exploration, among other things.

True, but he's also one of the biggest corporate welfare queens, so it's a wash for me.

I'm not saying he is an angel, but hell, I wish I was getting multi-billion dollar contracts from the Government.

At the expense of what? If this whole battery thing is factual, no amount of "good" can undo such unethical wrongs.

Don't hate the man; don't "like" his methods.
If he's willing to screw you over with a software update so you buy more of his cars, you can take your chances on his "space ship".

Shades of Apple some years back.

I don't buy anything Apple either. They've taken Planned Obsolescence to the extreme with their anti-right to repair stance.

On the other hand, I feel rather fortunate that Apple keep giving Louis Rossman enough material to be funny.

On a more serious note, It cannot come as a surprise that they have to slash the battery current as the batteries get older. Internal resistance goes up and they will catch fire otherwise.
And 620 kg of batteries per car (Model S 100D) that cannot be recycled economically. Approx. 5% is recycled today, the rest is going into landfills or "storage".
Planned obsolescence at its best.

I'm guessing they argued that in court, considering the lawsuit. Apparently the powers that be didn't buy it?

They never turned up in court.

Ah. I hadn't read about it. I was just spitballing. Strange that they never showed. Maybe they figured it was just less costly to settle.

But they didn't settle. 
I don't know if that's the pinnacle if arrogance or just pure idiocy. If they fail to pay now it will go to foreclosure.

 What the heck is wrong with them?
Well this should be fun.

Edit: I really should have caught that from the thread but I've been up since the witching hour and not quite able to get fully awake.

Well, they could of course appeal to a higher court.
But then they would need to read the news, they apparently don't read their summons.

Got to get my magic on early, but it has been a dud this morning!
I can't seem to convince an ESP32/ESP-IDF to read from an ILI9341 display adapter, much less an RA8875 no matter what I do.
My magic is a flop today.

Can't talk politics ...
As I said: don't hate the person, but do "think" about their tactics.
