Can’t wait until he joins the metaverse.

I guess his old routine of announcing some new vaporware that will be out “sometime next year” finally stopped working. Now he’s on to completely redefining what the company is whenever it fails at what it’s actually doing. Next he’ll claims Tesla is just an app developer or something.

A dig into the Q1-2024 shows they have a yield exposure that if rates fall too far, they might feel some pain. Long term securities are decreasing in interest payments around 2% on average.

This. They’re small potatoes compared to the big three

Anyone notice how Musk started to try to label Tesla as “not a car company” right when their actual car. sales started tanking?

Their compensation models are calculated on assets under control along with profit. But we all know it’s a shell game of how the compensation committee plays with the numbers as the payment schedules.

It is the garage for every race there.

First gear: A YoY jump from 7.2% to 8% EV share of new car sales is pretty dismal considering how much that market has changed in the past year (in favor of EV ownership). Many automakers are selling their EVs at a loss currently, and there’s no way this is sustainable for them to keep going without a dramatic uptick…

i don’t disagree. was talking about the fraud that is DJT. the folks putting money into that in hopes of any return might well be either very slow or looking to game it. that company is and always will be nothing more than a vehicle for some guys to steal from dumber guys.

market cap is an easy lie to tell.  look at djt and the ability to perpetrate fraud is obvious.

The Hudson River in NYC is surprisingly clean - I used to work at a college where the biology students would regularly pull samples for testing. The East River, on the other hand... you couldn’t pay me to swim in the East River.

For what it’s worth, Boston Harbor is clean thanks to the billions spent to clean it up.  Hell, even the Charles is swimable 70% of the time per the Charles River Conservency.  A far far cry from where it was even 20 years ago.

I’m all for cutting the NYPD ridiculous budget, but air conditioning an open-air system is just a waste of money. Run your AC with every window & door in your house/apartment open and see how well the AC does and how high your power bill is.

The Fisker one made me think of a moment I’m not proud of earlier in my career. I was in LA for the auto show and ended up at this design competition event at the Peterson Automotive Museum one night. While chatting with some folks, I met someone who worked for Faraday Future. This was pretty much right before their…

Luxury car technician can go one of two ways. For every shop that caters to broke posers and pays flat rate there’s one for the play hard pay hard crowd that keep their cars spotless and don’t care how many labor hours it takes to get that $30 part changed.

Neat car and a great one for a 1980/90s car guy hobbyist/enthusiast to own and tinker with. It’s unique, looks to be in good shape (clearly mechanic owned) has the right motor and tranny, so why not? You just don’t see these anymore, and this one looks clean and unmolested. If it looks and drives good I bet you could…

EV would be able to make a profit on that component.

Well to be fair, all the models except the CT do look pretty similar. I mean it’s like they only sell 3 cars, the 3/S (sedans) the X/Y (CUV) and then the CT. Like if you put a 3 and an S side by side I would probably have to look at the back to know which was which

My brain really wants to mentally photoshop an ordinary shed door into that photo, rather than accept that the entryway is actually a garage door that is approximately 1.05 IndyCars wide. I wonder how many fenders get busted going in and out of those things. The number is probably scary.
