This is how the masters do it. Bullshit with gravitas.

Newt Gingrich was good at this. Talked like stupid people think smart people sound like.

You call bullshit on them being more reliable than present day?

Of course it’s a Fratzog. It was originally used on the turbo-encabulator. Since you couldn’t see it, they decided to put on the hoods of their cars as well so everyone knew they had a car with the turbo-encabulator.

Moving wasn’t the problem

I call bullshit.  No way a Dodge of that era was going 15mph reliably.

But then how, exactly, is one supposed to: “radiate more openness and clarity”. 

Marketing people can’t just ignore your emails all day, they need variety in their jobs like anyone else. 

THANK YOU. The whole point of a logo is it’s a consistent factor for me to associate your brand with. Changing it up for no particular reason does the exact opposite of its intended purpose.

I don’t get why logos are “due for updates” anyway. Unless there’s a fundamental shift in the business that muddles the logo’s message or they used some very period-specific styling in the first place, there’s no need to change something that currently works. It only makes sense when there’s a functional issue to be…

I’d give the cellphone business more credit. We’ve still got 1500 pounds of batteries in cars that, ideally, would have less than 400 pounds of batteries and motors.

The EV market is going to be controlled by 3 things: Brand Recognition, Technology and Range.

Tesla currently holds all 3 cards in their hands. Tesla is the most recognized name in the EV Auto industry. They’ve surpassed all other smaller market names and are now challenging “The Big 3" with direct to consumer sales…

That’s kind of rewriting the history of battery progress that’s happened since the early 2000s.

GM never had a chance to be the leader. Tesla succeeded because it took a huge amount of risk (which an established company can’t do, even with it’s own incubator). Musk said and did things that were only OK to investors because they drank the cool-aid, and it’s allowed the product to perpetuate to the point that it…

Well, in fairness, the Battery Tech to support this wasn’t really in play 20 years ago. It’s not ACTUALLY clear it is today, but the time is riper...

Nobody knew what they were because the cost structure wasn’t there to make them worth advertising. GM loses money on every Bolt and Volt. It’s the same reason why they didn’t just start switching over to all EV’s back when the EV1 was released. People can clamor all they want about GM being behind the times, but at…

They still sell the Bolt.

This is true. The bolt and volt were both uncharacteristically good cars in their own right, but no one really cared because it was GM and they never caught on as well as GM had hoped. They can’t afford to not play it safe on this going forward.

Unfortunately there appear to be a few of them already in this thread. 

Is there anyone left who doesn’t realize Elon Musk is a massive piece of shit?
