LOLWUT, damn son, you’re not the brightest hydro-powered bulb.

You are completely dense on this subject.

I’m sorry, but you are.

Net Neutrality exists BECAUSE ISPs throttled down the speed of Netflix so people would buy their cable services.

There are multiple lawsuits.

You think the philanthropic Comcast is going to say “Well we got regulated when we did that last time, so lets not”

N…

Yes, it has. When I got in my car this morning, it didn’t blow up. When I go to the airport, my plane has a clear path to land, and I’ve never had a mid-air collision. When I drove to work, there were stoplights to keep ass-hats from plowing into me, licensing laws to ensure the other drivers on the road were…

There are no broadband monopolies. There are broadband fiefdoms. The big telcos got together and decided that each would control its own separate regions. Don’t kid yourself, because infrastructure upgrades/expansion are expensive, the telcos do the absolute bare minimum to rake in as much as money as possible while…

Once this goes through are you going to pay the monthly membership for Gizmodo access, or go with the annual pass to save more?

The buck stops here, in this wheel well.

Pretty inane comparison. Money is useless if you just store it in a vault somewhere, or for that matter burn it. Using money to build factories and production lines and pay the salaries of engineers and factory employees is not wasting the money, the money hasn’t been flushed into the sewers or burnt for heat, the…

A Ponzi scheme by definition doesn’t produce anything. Producing stuff with money folks give you is just running a business, even if Tesla is getting a little bit creative with pre-orders that’s no different than the huge projects that go on Kickstarter or Indiegogo to get more funds early on. Even Bose recently ran…

This. Also important to note that they’re a growth company, relying on speculative “early stage” investors to fund their rapid expansion, competing against entrenched incumbents that were built incrementally and slowly over 50+ years with huge financial backing from the traditional banking community. Add on top of…

Survived this last night on my way to visit my daughter in Riverside.

Coal only provides 90% of power in poor areas, like WV, where nobody drives an EV anyways. Coal is on the way out. This is a moot argument. All you’re saying is we should invest in clean energy.

I still think Tesla’s end game is being a battery company first. Then a car company. I think that is why they built their giga factory. That’s why they opened the patents. So other manufacturers will use their batteries and charging network.

Putting words together in a sentence don’t make them a fact.

How many “ponzi schemes” are building a large factory to build products with?

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think.

That is such a lie. It’s obnoxious to watch people spread disproven myths.

This is nothing like what you’re talking about because overall, Tesla is still a drop in the proverbial bucket. If Tesla fails on its own, it will be a bad day for the market, and other companies will pick up it’s assets. It’s a bigger risk, but it’s treated as such by institutional investors.

Depends were you live.

To be fair, ICE cars are losing their range as they sit there, engines running.
