Tesla did it to me, because I have had the same approach as grandparent forever (well, for 30 or so years, anyway).

Recently I had a text message to my phone number asking me if I wanted life insurance, and whether I preferred to be contacted at ‘tesla@<myserver.net>‘ or continue our conversation via text. I have plenty of life-insurance through my company…

Funnily enough, Elon didn’t reply to my tweet asking him if this was standard Tesla policy… Never did like that rat-bastard.




We should do something with phone numbers too.
