“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will…

Not me.  Ben Franklin once said “he who is willing to sacrifice liberty for a little safety, deserves neither liberty nor safety.”

Where do I buy pants like that? I want to know so I never shop there.

Theres a boatload of anti Tesla wtf in this, because it gets the clicks... Tesla isn’t the only company facing quarterly quotas I guess.

Yeah that was a truly ridiculous assertion. Fisker can design some interesting looking vehicles, but thats about all the cred hes got. Elon founded zip2, paypal, Tesla and spaceX, just to name some of his work.

Nonsense, they were holding back european and chinese sales due to full tax credit expiring in US. So now they focus on Europe and China.

@3rd Gear: Fisker has more cred than Elon Musk? LOL!

Neutral: The question is silly, Tesla is sending cars to Europe and China, which is impacting deliveries in the US.

Granted, it’s anecdotal, but I see more Tesla’s than ever, and it feels like Model 3s already outnumber the Model Ss.

If boring didn’t sell, Toyota would be out of business.

Tesla has the battery technology, supply chain and a nationwide charging station. You can say anything you want about all of the “competition”. However, the fact is that there is no competition at all. You can also add that no one in the world knows as much as they do about electric cars and what it takes to build…

1st gear: Tesla was in a huge push in Q4 2018 to rush and get as many cars into customer hands so they could meet the tax credit deadline.

Exactly.

Yawn. Tesla always has a huge drop in deliveries in January. This drop actually looks to be SMALLER than the normal December->January drop, especially since a lot of cars were shipped overseas and not accounted for in this article.

Jesus, Erik. get a grip man.

Fisker’s sort of an Elon Musk type, but with a bit more cred.

I like the design but I keep thinking of these people attempting to dock:

This screed is nothing but self-soothing garbage. You know when I knew it was time to check out? “As a professional television critic...” Oh, gee, yes, now your opinions carry weight. Please, do tell me how hard it is to professionally television critic binge-able shows, very relatable.
