I wonder if he’s just trying to parallel the Tony Stark character arc.

I dunno, I think Tucker had more legitimate reasons to be complaining. Musk is closer to being Silicon Valley Trump.

Musk made one key mistake when it came to Tesla, and that was taking it public. He’s now bitching that he only wants people that see his “vision” and not people looking to profit, and thats not how public companies work. People invested in your company as a way to make money. This is an earnings call, where earning…

Too much sexual tension.

Why? I keep hearing this someone will buy them but why? Tesla just does not have much in the way of patents. No one wants the Fremont factory as its in a dumb location to build cars away from the rest of the industry and suppliers.

Numbers don’t make it less ugly

I saw several in the last couple of weeks, a white, red, and 2 silvers. From the rear, it is a dead give away it is a Tesla and it is kinda nice. But as you see more and more of the car, you then question what in the world happened from the S to this? Then you peek inside and see the interior and compare it to the…

“And they’re better looking than the Bolt and the Leaf...”

I’m in agreement, but I have to believe that someone at Tesla thinks that another stock issue would tank the stock hard. Otherwise, they would’ve done so when the stock was $380 rather than issuing junk bonds which is now part of the source of their woes.
Which means, this is probably the last time they can go out for…

Wait till folks start seeing the Model 3 in the flesh. I saw one in white this weekend and it should have stayed in print. I thought they looked pretty good in the pictures in that red color. In person that front end looks really awkward. Maybe it was just that white paint highlights shadows or something.

Other auto companies spend tons of money but they actually, you know, MAKE money from that spending, which Tesla has yet to do. IDK if the Bloomberg ticker offsets the spend with revenue (it is a fascinating thing to watch the number climb while you read the story)

Neutral: $6500 a minute? I honestly cannot even comprehend how to spend that much money. I suppose I would have my own Island, a 500 car garage, and every hyper and super car I could get my hands on, and a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona with a Hemi and a 4 speed.

Junkyard Wars as I remember it. Great show.

Chairman Kaga: “Allez Garage!”

Considering how small the E46 M3 is by todays standards (2-series is the most accurate) its pretty portly. It does offer up a good bit of luxury features though. And the S54 has an iron block. would be real nice if it were about 200-300lbs lighter. I stripped the interior out of mine recently to do some work - and…

This Corolla parody once upon a time hit a little too close to home for me, so I affirmatively un-committed.

Nope, my dumbass didn’t buy it. At the time I wasn’t sure I needed 500hp in a 2000lb car (spoiler alert: I was wrong) and wanted something more reliable.

One can like Bob Dylan without pretending he’s a good singer.

With global platforms, Ford will still have the small cars available when the inevitable happens. They won’t be selling them here, but they will have the ability to (federalize them and) bring them here should the demand pick up due to rising fuel prices.
