Possibly heading off any bad press that drags the old story of him getting rid of his personal assistant into this. I could see the headlines of how “horrible Elon is, especially to women.” Three divorces to two different women, firing a 12 year assistant without thinking twice, and now this breakup. Any bad press on…

And here I was thinking she had just accepted an extremely hard or difficult role but that it had the potential to pay off in an academy award or something... but nope, high school level stuff going on...

I don’t think he knows how that makes other people feel. He’s never been able to have a good steady relationship with either wife he’s had, yet they both seem to speak highly of him (to a level, Justine seems to have mixed feelings some) and he speaks highly of them. He speaks highly of his assistant and if I recall…

I’m surprised more people here haven’t read the book. It is a massively fascinating read and look into Musk and his mind. If I recall, and again it’s been awhile since reading it, I believe she was asking to be paid roughly the same as anyone at his company who was at an executive management level. From the sounds of…

If I recall he was constantly bullied as a child and would “get the shit beat out of him because he was different” on a pretty routine basis.

So if you read the whole book you get a much better picture of this. I don’t get the feeling that he was an asshole for firing her or that he was getting “revenge” or anything for her asking for the raise. I truly believe he asked himself if she was key to the position and when he didn’t see that she was, he…

I would argue that it’s the cheaper EVs that actually need the good range to be mass market appeal. You’ll get your city guys that buy this as a second car for commuting to work and back or to buzz around town. What I don’t think you’ll get is this being the primary car (even if another car is in the household but is…

It’s really funny because you could have gone the other way and bitched about how they’re protecting a building that doesn’t even have him or his family in it and cost tax payers money. That Trump should have removed his name from the building and officially announced he and his family would not be returning there,…

I think aero performance (low drag co) is also a huge driver for the design on these. You can only kick cost/energy density of battery tech down the road so fast, if that’s not enough, you start making the car lighter and slip through the air better. Max range and max safety are two huge factors with Tesla. Then…

The good news is I’m fairly certain Musk is using the same style/tech (and possibly even sharing parts) with the drive train between 3 and S/X. I think the 3's should hold up longer term just as well as the S/X when it comes to motor and inverter life. Basically no fluids in the 3 as well! (I’m not sure if the battery…

FIVE to EIGHT kids and working a freelance driving gig?! Why the shit?! I just don’t understand how some people have the guts to be having so many kids when they must be having a terribly hard time financially. I’m 31 and have a pretty decent (good by some standards) job with full benefits and I still have a hard time…

Have you tried adding some space between the ack of your TV and wall to diffuse the light a little more? I have a standard solid white led strip on my 50 inch plasma screen that’s about 2.5 to 3 feet away from the wall. It is hands down the way way for me to watch TV. Even with scope material that still produces…

Based on the trailer, this one doesn’t require those massive special effects either. The use of news footage probably is to be “authentic” and “true to the events” but in reality was driven by the budget...

I would totally watch that movie... unfortunately it looks terrible and low budget. We have plenty of movies about horrible real life events, this isn’t really anything new. Just doesn’t look like it was done very well...

I always commented when my friends made fun of me for dropping $100 to $200 on sunglasses that it was because the optics were fantastic. I spent money so I didn’t look through distortion, style was a bonus. They always looked at me like I was an idiot and then would go buy $5 glasses that spent 90% of the time on…

Any science on the procedure she needs done? Absolutely do not want to take away at all from this if it’s all proven or even experimental with science based evidence, but if it’s a shady company promising the world to them as they ask to empty the wallet... then that’s no good. I know when in horrible positions even…

With in reason I agree a union can be a good way to represent the workforce and focus specific goals and efforts.... but, it’s not a free “you have to give us what we want” card. If they keep demanding large pay increases, reduced work load, or more staff to assist them in their instruction, I could see this going the…

Dealers are so screwed when direct sales (i.e. Tesla) become the norm. I will never deal with one of these scum bags again.

How could manslaughter charges hold up when the building was to code? Just because there is a better material out there doesn’t seem like it should be enough to say that THIS material was legally deficient. I can see if this was not to code, but it sounds like it was to code, just on the cheap. Maybe the manslaughter…

They’re damn lucky we didn’t fire on them before they rammed us... you know, being AMERICA and all... :P
