LOL.  Did you skip your chill pill today?  Been tracking TSLA figures since IPO, so I don’t think I need to explain my understanding of the company to you but hey, if you feel like you know more than by all means if it makes you feel important.

With US soon to follow. Between Musk’s personality being on display for all the world to see and all the newer EV options on the market, it won’t be long.

Tesla had a 10 year lead on everybody, and in the course of the pandemic, everyone caught up.

Gonna be interesting watching TSLA. This piece of news from China plus the latest promo in the US where you can knock off $3,750 for existing new inventory on their site.

Only the companies that he’s most involved in ‘setting up,’ such as the Boring Company, are scams, while the ones he’s often credited with setting up, such as SpaceX and Tesla, he did not.

You can’t avoid CA income tax by just moving if any of your income is sourced from CA. 

Maybe you’re doing your taxes wrong. Even back when I lived in CA, through loopholes and deductions, I rarely paid over 25% in combined taxes. And that was as single 25 year old making $120k. The real high earners have much better federal and state breaks.

The dude that wrote that article has been writing completely incorrect dogshit takes about high speed rail for the LA Times for a decade+. He has literally spent his life trying to discourage people from supporting rail, and has danced every possible dance he can think of to try to support his bad arguments. He isn’t…

There is a marked difference... one side wants to try one side wants to kill it. I would say the DNC would do a far better job. I mean, you have clean water, safe food and can mail a letter from coast to coast for under a dollar in spite of the efforts of the GOP.

buddy, improving passenger service is just scraping the tip of the iceberg. The big 4 have been hiding under their mattress from any capital improvements for 50 years, and thought that Precision Scheduled Railroading was going to rescue them all the market share they’ve lost to trucking in that time. Instead, it made…

The government already operates all your highways and airports, and major transit systems like the NYC subway. So while problems abound with all of these things, they are at least functional and dependable enough that most of us don’t think about them from day to day.

And that stems mainly from the GOP intentionally running things poorly and hobbling agencies so that the public confidence goes down and justifies further cuts. 

I get your trepidation, but I’m comfortable saying the US railway industry is at the inflection point where the government literally could not do this any worse. Conrail was better than what we have now.

Yes. Critical infrastructure should be in the purview of the government. Profit incentive shouldn’t be a factor when it comes to things the entire country relies on.

Nuclear power plants take about 5 years to spin up

And even if it were true that all 2011 model year Leaf and Volts were dead (which we know isn’t the case), that probably represents a tiny tiny fraction of all EV sales, since the market has been on basically an exponential sales curve since 2017 or so when mainstream higher range lower cost EVs came onto the market.…

With 10% of present day new car sales in California going to EVs, and still 13 years until then, I think California is going to be looking more like Norway after 2035, which is an EV heaven.
