Yes, if by rational you mean crushing every last GM EV and pretending like nothing happened then yes I agree with you.  They could’ve been leading this changeover except they blew the lead.  Let’s extend that streak by putting all of the eggs into the Bolt and burying the Menlo in China.  Then they will justify under…

The cops should actually have tail light clinics like they do with baby seats if they actually want to fix broken tail lights.  Got great tips from the cop and fire fighter on how to properly installed it even though I followed the directions to the T.  

I’m from Walnut Creek and I believe that’s Contra Costa County SWAT.  Not that it’s any better.  I’ve had good interaction with WCPD but I’m also not black.  

I feel maybe you’re not lucky enough to work with contractors that can’t read print to save their life.  

This is happening with all EV makers. Good luck swapping batteries on a Nissan Leaf. You’ll need to buy a card from Bosch, which they only sell to the dealer, to program the new battery.  Why should replacing an EV battery be any different than a regular old 12V?  

Actually... They’d probably spend the proceeds on tax breaks for Twitter, then someone would tweet about the bums, the city flushes them out to a new block, then another tweet about the bums on the new block, the city then tries to get them help but has no power to commit them to a shelter or mental institution, and…

That depends on how you split on non-recurring engineering costs and build costs.  NRE is amortized over the production run and possibly other models that share parts/technology.

Wha???  You get what you paid for?  

OR, pray that God will give us updated building codes. It’s more productive than spinning your wheels trying to convince Florida lawmakers to utter “climate change.”

You should fire your ops, planner, buyer, QC, and manufacturing guys if you don’t know how long it takes to make your widget. I work inthe stereotypical startup and I have it down to the minute. I know how long it takes for something to arrive, make the widget, prep it, for crating, rig, and crate.

I disagree, sounds like something I’m told all the time.  If you’re in operations, you know how many widgets you’re going to build on a certain date (capacity planning, throughput, Takt time, etc.) so you know how many you’ll ship and plan accordingly.  You’re not going to miss it unless there’s literally a fire in…

Lead times change all the time.  Just because you got a hauler to come by within a week last time doesn’t meant it’ll be the same next time.  This is where your MRP system comes in handy to plan the work.  Tesla’s operation looks to be driven by engineers, not real operations people.

Because guns. There were 2 cars involved in a shooting last week on the lower deck of the bridge. Too many people have guns in this country. Why bother dealing with it yourself? Just call the cops.

Oh you mean like a meat loaf wrapped in dumpling skin?

You’re right on this point but it looks bad so why do it? He could’ve just pandered and took the chicks home. Which by the way, much more appealing than arguing with someone who wasn’t going to change his mind.

Not sure what you’re arguing about but basically that’s what I was pointing out. Yeah, everybody brings up $70B but it’s the valuation at that time and a lot has happened since. The number of analysis pointing out that their business model is not viable is on the rise, eroding fares, and there has been scandals and…

$70B is just what he raised the money at. It’s not literally worth that much based on what it would fetch if it IPO’d today based on its profits. Add up what Uber is losing and what the drivers are losing then you’ll realize how shaky the whole thing is. Based on your evaluation of his business acumen Travis should…

Wow, you’re a moron. Read the article. Ferrari is notified about the procedure when their tool is used. If they didn’t allow it then they would... Read the damn article.

It would be cheaper to just embed RFID tags. They are cheaper than making these grooves and can be reprogrammed.

We’re at the see part of the wait and see approach advocated by so many calm people. The results speak for themselves. Mainstream CEOs on the council give a veneer of credibility to Trump’s policies. Many of them have spoken out about TPP and trade and yet Trump ignored them.
