Might want to try educating yourself on that subject, BEFORE making such foolishly wrong statements. Bob Lutz had nothing to do with GM’s demise. In fact if you want to pin it on an individual person (which you really can’t since this was a many decades in the making decline) then GM CEO Roger B. Smith would be a far…

I heard a funny comparison. Restaurant near me was not making money so they did a fire sale on gift cards trying to get a lot of “capital” and figure it out later. I was at the bar and a guy compared it to the deposit on the model 3. They need to make money eventually or they will fail or sell.

Except that Tesla isn’t a car company. Car companies don’t also sell roofs made of solar panels or battery packs that power entire zip codes. People are culty about this bc Musk is creating a much, much bigger paradigm shift than popularizing electric cars. His long game is to get us riding in *spaceships*. The car…

Lutz is definitely the seasoned autonotove veteran who has seen (and overseen) how a car company can be driven in to the ground. So yeah, I guess if he sees himself in Tesla, that’s a warning sign.

Lutz was head of product development - Rick Wagoner was at the helm when GM went bankrupt.

What would Lutz be scared of? He’s a retired wealthy dude. He has no axe to grind.

He was a Product Czar who has stated many times not even he had power over the bean counters. Give Car Guys vs Bean Counters a read, details his whole fiasco at GM.

GM’s problems were many fold, compared to Tesla’s rather straightforward “We’ve never turned a profit, ever.” problem. If people thought about GM in the same way they think about dotcoms, GM would have investors crawling all over it just like Tesla does.

Or he can see a terribly run company with a ceo who just lies and lies to inflate the stock price because dumbasses believe his bullshit?

Lutz is the complete opposite of a “scared-old-man.” Think more like “salty seasoned automotive veteran” who has seen many car companies come and go.

Thank you!! I think the biggest thing is making choices based on what makes you happy.

I’m sure Trump’s team will say this is all a big Nothinglisberger

y’all o.O

Even he hasn’t sunk as low as cannibalism.

Well, there was that one time when he was eating Starburst naked and dropped a few of the orange and yellow ones. He had Melania search for them for days before they gave up and just left them in the folds of his skin.
