Allowing customers to use a different fast charging method without actually vetting out the impacts of doing so is an incredibly dumb move. Not expecting customers to use other methods on a regular basis is even dumber.

So they would rather let their customers ruin their batteries’ fast charge capabilities than admit CHAdeMO shouldn’t be used often?

People using superchargers as parking spots and preventing others from using it has nothing to do with my question. The letter you linked to only talked about the convenience of charging at home and not taking up charging spaces when not charging the car. So again, where does Tesla state that only using superchargers…

I think you’re overestimating your expertise on this. If the CHAdeMO chargers were the problem, why didn’t Tesla’s response say so? Instead, the response acknowledged the limitations of fast-charging in general.

Where does Tesla state that superchargers aren’t supposed to be the only way to charge the car?

Those patents aren’t in the public domain.

Well, maybe it’s because the Jeeps weren’t actually slipping out of park? Not sure where you heard that from, but it wasn’t the cause of Yelchin’s death. The problem with the Jeeps (and Dodges and Chryslers) was that users weren’t used to the way the shifter worked and assumed it was in park when it wasn’t.

Per the article, DAC lost $86,000 ($2.11 million in 2007) before it was reorganized into the Henry Ford Company. Tesla lost roughly an equivalent 300 times that amount last year alone. Don’t think it’s fair to add a point to the failure column simply because Tesla didn’t change it’s name when it was losing a ton a…

Ford made a profit its first year of existence, 1903. The model T came out in Ford’s 5th year, 1908. So yes, they were making money in their early years as well as innovating. It’s possible to do both.

Not a troll, just someone tired of people trying to defend Tesla when they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. But I’m honored you took the time to look through my history.

Now there’s no need to spew out BS. You say you don’t know anything about the company past what is listed in big letters on the webpage, and now you’re drawing conclusions about the confidence they have in fields.

A higher market cap. Market cap is determined by multiplying stock price by total number of outstanding shares.

The website lists transportation and manufacturing as categories. Did you miss them? And “tech” is a pretty broad term. Construction, energy, life sciences, chemicals, telecommunication, transportation, and manufacturing all involve “tech”

Settle down bud. No need to go nuts over a couple sentences. Especially when you’re throwing out BS about how most retained jobs will be interns or janitors.

Starting dealing with years ago, and still dealing with today.

Ferrari? Lamborghini? Jeep? Lotus? RUF? Ariel? McLaren?

I think you’ve got that wrong. Paypal was the system that allowed for peer-to-peer payments and was originally created by Confinity before their merger with Musk’s X.com. X.com was just originally just an online bank. As far as I know, Musk had nothing to do with the development of Paypal.

Relax bud. All I’m getting at is that he says complex urban environment, then proceeds to show a video of a car driving through an area that few would describe as such.

Did it deal with construction, or other poor road conditions? Hell, the most complex part was the parking lot and it struggled heavily with it.

Or, he could have just not called it a complex, urban environment.
