Wait....

I can’t find a single cohesive definition for “employee” at the Federal or State level that covers these people.

Hell, it doesn’t even pass a quick sniff test.

-They have no set hours
-They have no set location
-They have no manager, supervisor, etc
-They…

Kia isn’t moving Stingers because you have to enter a Kia dealership to buy one. 

I’m not sure the savings is worth the fact that you still have to endure the Kia dealership experience.

I mean, there’s also different structures like mergers or leveraged acquisition. Secure $60bn in debt with the company as collateral, once you buy them put that debt on Tesla, and then pay another LLC you own $10mn/year in “management fees” while the company you bought goes under with no risk to you.

No, Market Capitalization isn’t the same as Market Value, which is far far more complicated to work out. People like Market Cap because its a quick and easy way of valuing a company on the stock market. However, if someone was to buy a company, you don’t pay market cap prices, you pay market value, which could be…

Tesla is *fucked* when the mainstream automakers get their act in gear and offer more compelling electric options. I suspect the free fall starts when VW gets their charger network out with their anticipated electric lineup (group-wide).

What the actual fuck?!?

Do you realize how deadly measles has been historically? 7 to 8 million people died of measles EVERY YEAR until a vaccine was developed. You’re dangerously misinformed.

First, not everyone gets better. Some die.

“Apparently, Super Cruise was also struggling with seeing the lines on the road. Snow, dirt, heavy rain—basically anything that can obscure your sight path—would disengage the system. “That one happened a lot,” Vivian said.”

Insurance Companies Are Monitoring Your Phone

That’s just a little too Big Brother for my taste... I’d rather just pay a little more for insurance than have my speed/location monitored. It’s not even about phone use (I don’t really touch my phone when driving), it’s more so about privacy. That’s why I have location services disabled on almost every app aside from…

What about longevity and disposal? Embodied energy covers the entire life cycle, from harvesting raw materials, to eventual disposal.

Wait, you’re complaining about WSJ bias and lack of facts, but use the UCS as a primary source? They’re an advocacy group with a specific agenda, not an actual union of scientists. Using their info immediately makes this article suspect, whatever thoughts I might actually have on WSJ or the subject of electric vs ice…

“and if they truly have the software at level 4+ they’re far ahead of everyone else in the game by an absurd margin.”

I dont know why I am bringing you out of the greys where you belong but a demo ride does not equal autonomy. No part of the Tesla is autonomous. This is false advertising. 

They dont...this is the whole point. Elon is lying. Or stretching the truth. Or talking about futures in a way that make you think its the present. He is a sales man. Dont fall for a great salesman. 

If anybody is familiar with the “Crossing The Chasm” series about technology adoption in consumer products...

I had a conversation with an adjuster that at some point strayed to EVs. He told me that they’re having a hell of a time with Teslas because repair costs after collisions are hard to estimate because parts availability is so hit and miss. As in, you don’t know whether the owner/insured will be in a rental for a couple…
