I don’t see how Tesla doesn’t have their act together. They have a battery factory, don’t have to share profits with dealers, very happy customers, highest rated products, reinvesting every dime, worth more than Ford, the quickest cars, etc. If there ever is competion, every car is going to be compared to a Tesla.

Fully electric cars have a motor and a couple of constant-mesh reduction gears, everything else is solid state.

“Out of curiosity, what’s the oldest car you’ve bought?”

I’m with you regarding keeping things simple. I wouldn’t buy a car that has more than about 10 moving parts in the power train and I can’t fill up at home.

No worries. Was it worth the wait?

Do those batteries last “forever”?

Wouldn’t by the day Just be a rental?

Whats this? Full sized back seat, could be mistaken for a hatchback.

1800 a month to lease a Cadillac? Is that right? That’s my mortgage! I’m buying a Model 3 at 550 a month on a 5 year note, and I plan to keep it forever. I can afford an S, but don’t want to spend that much.

Awesome. I made my order 2 weeks ago. How long did it take you to get your VIN?

“ (I won’t touch anything with any form of electronics on it stock)“

Fair enough. Q2 is over very soon. But it doesn’t matter if Tesla is profitable. Amazon was losing money forever. What matters is if Tesla can pay their bills. Tesla could stop all capital investment and be profitable in short order. That would be a short-term gain for a long-term loss.

You keep hammering on the false premise that despots require absolute power. It just isn’t so.

I doubt they’d come to my house and beat me up like a dictatorship/autocracy could.

Dude, really? Are you Bill Clinton parsing the meaning of ‘is’? This is getting silly, but I’ll play.

This picture is childish: grow up.

and you ignored the fact I got my second definition from the dictionary you quoted. I’ll post again.
