So instead of, like, making electric cars or anything sensible like that, they’re just going to blame them for all their problems?

Pretty sure the guys at the top will get bigger bonuses for this awesome decision.

“The company will cut one in 10 of its managers worldwide”

Regarding that last point. Tesla actually cooperates with existing businesses already to position the superchargers at locations that already have a restaurant or at least a convenience store. In Texas, they seem to have a deal with the Love’s gas station chain to put the superchargers at the same locations (the one…

A little surprised Tesla hasn’t rebranded it or spun it off and started selling licenses already.

I’m happy to get time in as many seats as time allows. Doesn’t change that the LiveWire is fun. 

If you can drive a Taycan and call it soulless, you don’t know cars. 

Well, that is your opinion. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. VW makes an EV Golf that looks like almost all Golfs since 1985. That should suit you well. As for me, I think the Model 3 is very good-looking, and I would never buy a VW Golf.

No, what I said was that’s it’s a perfectly normal looking car, fairly plain in fact. I personally think it’s one of, if not the most handsome sedan on the market. That’s subjective of course and you’re totally allowed to dislike it, but you seem to be suggesting that it’s “weird, futuristic, unusual or something…

Found the person who’s never experienced instant torque.

You might not like the way it looks, but the 3 is a normal, anonymous sedan, like a 3er or A4. I mean, it’s virtually identical in every dimension.

except those production lines are at capacity and if they end up selling this in any volume it will likely need it’s own dedicated production lines. Lines that won’t need a paint shop, won’t need nearly as many of the robots to weld pieces together and probably most importantly won’t need as many human hands in the…

This is a good take. For years we’ve been halfheartedly rooting for Tesla, knowing all the while that a new car company in post-consolidation, hyperregulated America would be nearly impossible. Tesla finds a way to shave down production costs and everyone jumps down their throats. I’m no fan of this hideous…

What’s the estimated offset between steel stressed body and a ladder frame under a more conventional body?

I think your coming to the same conclusion Elon must have come to at some point over the last few years.

LOL, okay, cam down.

Why should we sit around and argue about how we are going to die

Nah it’s not the crushing student and medical debt, it’s definitely Greta that makes young people not buy cars as much.

isn’t that reason that the Corvette costs $60k for a new one, or $10k for a decade plus old one that isn’t complete worked over while a mustang can be had for $25k new with running used examples available for mere hundreds of dollars?

Heck, the world is very different than it was in the 80s and 90s, when streaming wasn’t even yet a possibility and most TVs were still under 40". Who knows, maybe we always wanted to watch movies and entertainment in our homes and only were waiting for the possibility?
