Sure, this meets the letter of the contract. No doubt about it. The complaint isn’t that the CEO did something illegal, it’s that he did something unfair and in direct contradiction to what was implied. It sounds like the company touted how great the bonuses are for several years when their games do great, then they…

I don’t think I ever met someone who didn’t judge others by how they look. I also know zero people who don’t already know not to openly criticize others. I liked Billie a lot more before she started criticizing people who criticize others. The best message you can send is to simply wear what you want and normalize…
It’s still a nice car to drive
Great, except pretty much all hydrogen is currently made by bashing coal or transforming natural gas. It may run clean, but it’s probably the only existing fuel that’s MORE polluting then using fossil fuels directly over its life cycle and has a much more theoretical path to cost competitive zero emissions then…
I’m all 4 saving the planet with electric cars, but fuck the Nissan Leaf. A 2010 Nissan leaf had a new EPA range of 73 miles. Which 10 years old is likely at 70% of that level or 50 miles for a round trip distance of 25 miles. That is a dramatically shittier value proposition then a decade old economy car. You might…
Um, the permian extinction was caused by natural global warming in the past. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/07/science/climate-change-mass-extinction.html. If the extinction of 96% of all living species is not a devastating effect on the environment I don’t know what is. I don’t know who in their right might mind…
I’ll take my boring old pod always going exactly the speed limit than a ferrari stuck in 5 mph traffic any day.
Wow. How does it feel to be old?
The same thing was true in my 1988 V6 firebird with a broken muffler. It was slow as hell, but sounded like a bat out of hell and the rear wheel drive with no weight in the back always kept you in a state of terror as you mashed the accelerator at the stop light even as the mini-van on the side of you left you in it’s…
Being royal gives you access to the best schools and resources. Individuals and businesses will go out of their way to accommodate them. That gives them access to special knowledge and powers and if you asked me, having the capability to call the most powerful people in the world and get them to fulfill any reasonable…
Cheaper is not the right metric. You want to measure value. Making a 5+ hour trip into one that takes 4 hours is not going to increase ridership. Make a 4 hour trip into one that takes under an hour and you have completely changed the game. It’s now a daily commuter option and can bring an order of magnitude more…
Because in Europe, most countries can declare eminent domain without the signoff of local towns. In the US, every suburban town basically has the same control that an entire country would in Europe. You can’t build an express train if every single podunk town between two major cities demands a station and stop in their…
The major cost to transportation infrastructure in the US is NIMBYism. The US, unlike most other OECD countries, has highly local and decentralized governmental control when it comes to what can be built in a particular town / city. States can propose routes, but when it comes down to brass tacks, the towns have to…

Let me introduce you to the 2+2 sports coupe. It’s 2 door car with 4 seats. They are highly impractical as people movers for basically only looks and to go fast and are also a absolutely terrible design by your standards. Despite that, they keep making them because people keep buying them. Go figure.
The cybertruck is the a full-size pickup. Its the same size as a crew cab F-150 with a 6.5 ft bed. It ain’t gonna fit in your urban parking space either.
Tesla has doubled revenue every year for the past several years. That’s a substantially better metric to maximize at their size then profitability. If you are 10x the size when you finally start turning a profit, the loss on those early vehicles becomes much easier to deal with.
Molds for presses only last for so many panels. The more curved your design, the less they last. It doesn’t matter if they have the machines. The molds cost a lot of money to make a replace. The cost savings of flat panels are enormous. This is massive truck with a massive battery for $40k. The Model X starts at…
Toyota made a conscious decision to not aim to make less polluting cars that 4 of its peers were able to do at a time when it is abundantly clear that global warming is not only real, but the existential crisis of our generation. The federal standard wasn’t meant to be a different, more effective way to solve global…
The title of the previous piece was “The Nürburgring Is No Place For Elon Musk’s Bullshit” Elon Musk then brought said bullshit to the ring and it didn’t matter. He crushed it. If the Tesla times are correct, that article may contain some true facts, but they are irrelevant and unsolicited advice. Elon Musk’s bullshit…
