“Author”

So now the argument is not “BPAP machines are more needed” as Musk originally explained, but “The BPAP machines were easily converted to what was actually needed”. Got it.

This is the point that should be made in every single reply to his whinging. He wants his 3/4-bil payout and doesn’t care how he gets it.

Yeah, so I stopped reading the second one somewhere around the part where she’s 27, doesn’t “work”, and her horrible mother treats her “like a maid and a taxi service.”

Literally without the credit sales, they would have posted a Q1 loss. 

Profit was $16 million. Without the credits, Tesla would have lost $284 million. Its credits are entirely dependant on car sales, yes, but selling cars alone is not profitable yet.

It is fully cancelled, not delayed according to Ford. “Lincoln and Rivian Mutually Decide Not to Pursue Development of Fully Electric Vehicle” https://www.at.ford.com/content/atford/fna/united-states/en/homepage/news-and-clipsheet/news/2020/4/lincoln-rivian.html

It’s a Lincoln Continental spare tire trunk bump photoshopped onto a Rivian SUV.

The two share little more than a studio. Like others have said, the original XC is a classic single-player RPG, in total contrast with XCX (which I agree with you about). I recommend XC as one of the best games of the past decade-plus to anyone who likes RPGs, good stories, good characters, good worlds, or good music.

You do know we can see all of each other’s comments, right? 90% of the first page of yours are about Musk or Tesla. Torch usually posts about VWs, old computer stuff, taillights and micro cars. Who was obsessed with what now? Remind me please.

You do know that he had 5 sons from his previous marriage to Justine Musk, right?

You cannot keep saying this is the new normal for 6 weeks, then the new normal will be for another 6 weeks, then a different new normal for a while after that. By definition a global pandemic and the immediate fallout is not normal. This is, most likely. a severe outlier to the normal and within a couple years things…

Neutral:

Have you seen who’s running the US these days? Insanely corrupt, rich, and abusive is the sugar-coated version. The current administration aspires to be like the Saudis and Putin.

There’s basic costs to transporting oil to a refinery, operating the refinery, transporting gas to the gas station, and operating a gas station. That exists regardless of the price of oil. And those exist in 2020 dollars. 

gas price = crude oil price + production cost + transportation + taxes + gas station profit + other things I’m forgetting. Only one of those is priced at or below the level of the 1980's

He said it wouldn’t break, then it did. Doesn’t seem that hard to understand to me.

No.  Nobody understood that. Because that's drivel 

how dare you mention the most newsworthy thing that Musk has done since he got high in a TV interview?

um, any vehicle will float for a while. Just like any vehicle is also a very short haul airplane or single use off-roader.
