  • There are already a growing number of EV alternatives. I will definitely be looking at all of them a few years down the line when I decide to get rid of my Tesla.

  • And it will run perfectly fine on ten year old computer hardware using nothing but cameras in any manner of weather.

  • If Musk is removed AND major changes are made to the brand then Tesla might have a long term chance in the US market.

    I bought a Tesla before the Musk craziness was in full display, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t buy another one (or recommend them to others) unless they seriously redesigned the physical controls, and focused more on truly useful software features. Not just games, “fart mode”, and a full self driving system that’s been promised for a decade now…

  • You misspelled “kisses the ass of the dictator”.

  • So is Trump going to pay to have the pump in my private well replaced with a turbo powered one?

  • Except there are ways around that if you’re not careful.

    Back in the 90’s I was active with the USCG in the Boston area. Most comms were done over marine VHF radio, but they had a secondary encrypted radio they could use when desired. The problem with that encrypted radio system was the audio quality wasn’t great and the range was limited, so in the later half of the 90’s as cell phones became more popular they switched to that for private comms. The quality was much better and the range extended to virtually anywhere you had line of sight to shore.

    So you would need any recording system to securely record all communications along with a way to correlate them.

  • Yeah, but how much of Congress is still determined to see how far up Trumps ass their tongues can go?

  • Well it is a day ending in “y”.

  • What has Musk built?

    His wealth comes from daddy’s emerald mine.

    He started an online payments platform that didn’t do very well and ultimately merged with PayPal.

    He bought his way into Tesla and forced the cofounders out.

    He founded SpaceX and gave himself the title of Chief Scientist but all the real work is done by actual rocket scientists and not him.

    He’s founded other companies like Starlink & Neuralink with his vast fortune but he largely stays out of their way.

    He bought Twitter and has made a mess of it.

    And so on…

  • If meat grinder fodder is sufficient for Putin’s needs then Trump sees no reason not to do the same thing here.

  • His plan was to pressure them the way he’s used to pressuring people in his business dealings. The only problem is that countries like Ukraine aren’t just businesses that he can stiff, drag to court, etc.

  • If Elon can own 5+ companies then surely they can manage one!

  • Not that I’m a Tesla apologist, but keep in mind they are more than just a car company. Also in their portfolio:

    • Solar panels
    • Residential power storage (Powerwalls)
    • Commercial/utility grade power storage (Megapacks)
    • Vehicle insurance
    • SuperCharger network
    • Robotics

    Granted, things like robotics are clearly mostly hype at this point, but they have sold & service Megapacks in countries including the US, Canada, and Australia. Their Supercharger network is also seen as a valuable asset given it’s really the only highly reliable nationwide one. Add to that the fact that it’s now an open standard that other EV companies are adopting, and non-Tesla EVs can now charge at many Supercharger stations, and the value of that asset can’t be understated.

    I have no idea what the Tesla EV revenue is compared to all this other stuff, but it’s all likely helping boost the value one way or another…

  • I hope every last union member walks off the job if this happens.

  • So when will the 3 day special operation begin?

  • What ever happened to Cloudflares wall of lava lamps?

  • Exactly why I used to subscribe to the Washington Post until Bezos wiped his ass with it. I’ll have to look into subscribing to The Atlantic now.
