Somebody’s got to go back and get a shitload of dimes!

Actually, he thought that DJT would listen to his suggestions and was angling heavily to preserve the Paris Accords. Models show that if the world sticks with the accords we won’t be looking at a worst case scenario and that 39A would be safe until the mid 2030's... Considering that Musk is using Pad 39A in the Cape,…

The OP is actually a time-traveler from 2076 who came back to observe Musk’s early years, but forgot that he wasn’t supposed to comment on Kinja.

Kid looked into the face of the abyss. Sees a future with no candy. Suddenly realizes he has to do all the things very, very quickly in order to escape before the midnight bell chimes twelve. 2023 might have been a good target earlier, but I don’t think he plans on waiting that long. Mars is a long shot and 2020ish is…

I mean, was there ever a radical innovator that wasn’t?

Did the people send the TSA those photos after they arrived at their destination and found the firearm in their carry-on?

Why do the regs need to be tightened? A company can only advance it’s product when forced to by government regulations? If people want electric cars, build electric cars. If half of the OEMs make advances and half don’t, that leaves one half with the market advantage. That’s not to mention that most OEMs are competing…

What people ‘say’ and what they ‘do’ are not always the same. If there’s actual demand - defined as actual dollars spent - for a product, the market will supply it. If not, Chevy Volt. Regulation does NOTHING to influence demand positively - it can only reduce demand. Simple Econ 101 stuff kids. Need another…

1st Gear: Gas is cheap, and people don’t have a financial incentive to adopt hybrids/EV’s. Unfortunately, manufacturers have already invested millions in hybrid and EV technology and want to maintain current regulations so they keep their advantage.  

THIS. Sounds like you have had similar industry experiences with FCA that I have. Their engines are 10 years behind.

haha, if you only knew. They’re trying so hard to follow “WCM” (World Class Manufacturing) - a lean manufacturing method developed by Toyota like 20 years ago or something. They still can’t get it down and they have a god damn manual. The truth is that they are, in fact, lazy and cheap.

FCA is having too much fun ripping off people who don’t care enough about quality and just pay attention to horsepower and 96 month loan options.

That is unpossible. Fake news.

1st Gear: I still have a hard time believing that FCA can’t understand how to make reliable vehicles. Haven’t you learn from Honda and Toyota about building a reliable or are they just too lazy and want to be cheap or are they cursed?

And you get all the unreliability of a Ferrari too!

Italian... Electronics... Yeah, that’s totally going to work out.

Neutral. I know we aren’t big fans of them all the time, but I think for any electric car to be truly mass market it needs to price similar to a Camry. If the Camry can be America’s number one sedan by sales, then probably trying to price as close you can to Camry would really make a mass market car.

I’ve alsways been told to remove my Nexus 7 or my Surface Pro out of the bags when scanning them... They also don’t like it when I have many chargers and cables in there. So it’s not really gonna change anything for me right now :)
