If you believe that the “terms” he has laid out are bad, doesn’t it make you a hypocrite to ascribe to them? No one wins when you become a monster in response to another person being monstrous.

“That thing is falling apart and obsolete to boot,... you HAVE to replace it with something new!”

So, why don’t car dealerships have gas stations attached? Seems like exactly the same idea.

I’m not going to argue with “we don’t know until we try” but that’s the exact same attitude that brought us the failure that is solar roads. There are people who know without trying. Its the dealership owners. They’re not infallible, but in the aggregate, their intuition is going to be pretty accurate.

There’s literally nothing I could care about less than hurting Ted Cruz personally. In fact, I probably fall more on the side of being in favor of him experiencing discomfort and unhappiness...

They have some prime real estate that they paid a bunch of money for... I would want them to keep it separate from the sales area and add a lounge/convenience store. Rather than thinking of it as a sales tool, I think they would have to commit to it being a second business type.

I’m guessing that the dealers are footing the bill for these chargers and realize that its not going to result in sales.

I wouldn’t say that they had NO reason to make any change... Being strictly reactionary isn’t a great business practice. They probably had a roadmap that they had to significantly change which would have cost them money and trying to change directions quickly is more expensive.

The problem is that Tesla is already priced as if it is 2-3 times the size of its next most valuable competitor (Toyota)...

My god,... they got like 8+ years on the market without a serious competitor. The idea that they would get more than that (assuming they would be successful) is pure hubris.

The source also added, “Corvette is not just a brand. It’s a constantly evolving system paired with a dramatically different user experience.”

It would have already been solved if every car could instantaneously be upgraded to a universally compatible self driving system,... That’s not something that’s possible though.

I believe that would be referred to as “making money coming and going”... and its a good business to be in if you can swing it.

Yet another reason to be in favor of EVs...

Musk, who’s not been shy in the past about talking down the share price, was wildly bullish about its potential during the latest earnings call, saying he saw potential for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined.

In your mind, what should he do? Blank check. Blue sky.

He also offered compassion to California governor Gavin Newsom for having the disadvantage of being a “straight white guy” in comparison to other possible Democratic presidential nominees.

Unless he gives the standard to an independent governing organization and lets them manage it (he won’t.) Its a bad idea.

Hundreds of millions of times seems like an exaggeration. Care to share your source or your math?

I mean,... who could have expected far right wing police officers to act in exactly the way that any reasonable person would expect...
