For news about Tesla's Solar-city here is a newly uploaded podcast interview around the news and information of Tesla's financial health, it's quite interesting. I tend to use YouTube as an audio podcast service just as much as anything else.
Tesla's Solar-city is quite a large part of Tesla and it also provides a window into the typical activities of the renewables industry.
The information in this podcast is noticeably fair and accurate to the point where I suspect the person Teslacharts is consciously afraid of being sued by Tesla for asserting any information that could be seen as inaccurate.
The person TeslaCharts also drives a Chevy Bolt EV to help make it clear he still supports the EV movement, but I think most people will find his insights on Tesla and Elon Musk quite interesting.

Be sure to skip into the first 6minutes of the audio as its all adverts/sponsors/thank-yous and disclaimers.
I cannot recommend enough that people take the time to listen to this audio podcast, I have found so many people I send videos to never watch them because they are religiously ingrained into only listening/watching broadcast media.

When wealthy folks buy apartment blocks as a means to park money, they prevent it from being of benefit to more people.
In Australia, it is completely illegal to buy an apartment/house and not rent it out or not live in it, this law has been around for a while.
Believing property is expensive in Australia for any reason other than the causation of new-extra people showing up and requiring the basic raw necessity to live somewhere in Australia is a total red-herring, these red-herrings are from propaganda media outlets like the ABC who deliberately do not explain supply-demand law basics.
Instead, our government agencies are forced to put out stuff like this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiWdSDfUcAAW9Q4.jpg hopefully you see it for what it is.

If you had
ZERO "new arrivals" in Australia for short-stay business work etc which have been recorded as much as 800,000 in a single year(news articles urls above), and on top, have "the wealthy" buy/built 10 million new apartments that
must be rented out or sold, how much do you think they could rent/sell for? Not much because the supply has massively outperformed the demand. It would be the opposite situation, they would pretty much have to give them away.
Apartments have the body-corporation levies that are about $5k per year on average to maintain the apartment block.
So even if these "super-wealthy" didn't require getting bank loans/paying interest rates to buy them because they were so weathly and could just do it all on their spare cash and were merely just holding the empty property, it would still be costing them money.
This reality is really just a simple IQ test, and I find it quite interesting how many people fail at the "supply-demand law question IQ test"
Jordan Peterson goes over "how to make an IQ test" in this part of this very interesting talk he gave.

This is why I like the banana video, just swap bananas with apartments. What would be really great is if someone made the same video with just apartments instead of bananas.
