And the production car….. well, there isn’t one; thats the problem. 

Interesting yes, but what exactly makes their designs innovative?

It probably mostly will, but with the front end of a Tacoma.

I agree that overall the new proportions are much more “3/4 sized S class”. However I’m not sold on all of the individual details of this new design. For example, I find the mismatch between the shape of the lighting elements and shape of the tail lamp housing to look a little “untidy”. That said, I’m sure that when…

Let’s hope Cruz gets voted out in the next election cycle. Then even if this legislation passes with his amendment, he won’t benefit from it.

Yup. It’s all just an organized legal pump and dump. We’re about to witness it all again with Truth Social… $8 billion valuation?

And cue the fraud and theft charges in 3….2….

Third time? Wasn’t the first thing attempt at a “Fisker” car company essentially doing re-bodied BMW 6 series and Mercedes SLs?

Agreed. Anyone considering buying a new A3 or BMW 2 series should do themselves a favor and at least drive a Mazda 3 first. They may find out that they can save themselves a chunk of change while still ending up with a very nice ride.

Haha. I’ve actually been eyeing the V12 Vantage… which is probably going to be way more of a maintenance nightmare.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m actually more interested in the new Emira (which is essentially an Evora made a little more comfortable and practical). That’s another car on my short list. Lotus finally just started deliveries to US customers who had ordered years ago, so it may be a while before I can find one to take…

Somehow we have millions of people walking around in this country who have “done their own research” (aka: a Google search) and decided that makes them just as knowledgeable as professionals who have years of specialized education, training, and experience; but worse than only thinking they are equally knowledgeable…

Schmidt and Liang were both charged and convicted in the U.S.; but there were additional actions in Germany with Audi CEO Stadler being convicted of fraud and Winterkorn to stand trial in September. So it’s not over yet. 

I hate to say it, because if this is all true then it’s great for Noland… but I am skeptical of presentations like this by Musk owned companies. It wouldn’t be the first time that we later learn something in the presentation was staged or faked.

Sums it up pretty well. 

Oh, I know… I was just having my moment for the day:

I personally agree with you. I would much prefer it if companies prioritized long term stability over short term gains. But people like us seem to be the outliers these days.

There can be legal action taken, assuming the government decides to pursue not just the company but also the individuals involved for any crimes committed. For example, some VW executives were pursued after the diesel gate scandal and did pay fines and serve prison sentences. However, it’s not very common. Usually…

I think this is generally a much bigger problem than just Boeing. Too many corporate boards these days seem to have taken a lackadaisical approach to their oversight responsibilities. Maybe the executive class needs to look beyond their own rank and file to find people who still understand what “responsibility”,…

Good for them, I guess.
