“You called the wikileaked email “stolen”

If any foreign power really wants to hurt America their interest would be best served by actually having Clinton elected.

Bill would just in case White House female staffers are not up to his liking.

“There is a market for a longer-range EV and Tesla proved it”

The difference is Tesla Motors’ offerings start at $75K and have more luxury appointed cabin (despite poor fit&finish). Meanwhile, Bolt is a much smaller vehicle equipped and furnished with cost saving in mind.

Also, EV sales worldwide are less than 1% of…

The third one was spotted recently holding a cardboard sign “Will do anything for attention”.

From what I understand two of these women are legally blind.

No. My argument is that they simply didn’t commit the same amount of resources and focus. I feel like you’ve just made point of why is it essential to read with more comprehension :)

Call it whatever you want. I am evaluating both companies based on track record, market presence and finances (among other things). As…

At what cost and is the accomplishment anything remarkable or is it the case of any relevant market player could’ve done the same if in position to piss money away?

My impression is that Apple probably assigned second tier talent to the project while top tier was involved up with projects of essential importance to the…

From all we know Apple might’ve considered a hybrid propulsion AND there are different price points within meaning they could’be a competitor at sub $75K level which Tesla Motors is not participating in (Leaf?). If we exclude hybrids the niche segment is even smaller and less worth Apple’s (or anyone else’s) time.

Corre…

“Your Tesla hate is showing.”

Stated by who? Unnamed sources and “journalists” of Jalopnik and similar outlets.

Lets assume it is true for a moment. Apple as a brand stands for effective cost management, quality and attractive design (among other things). Why would they then: a. slap their badge at an Model S equivalent (poor fit&finish backed by…

Neither nor is “They wanted to compete with Tesla” a fact of the matter.

What we sort of know is that they wanted to enter the market with a vehicle of their own. What segment, how many units, price point, propulsion, features etc. are all in the rumor column.

Judging solely by the track record and state of each…

They should’ve outsourced it to a competent studio (ex. Pinninfarina) with basic requirements and then find a reputable company to assemble it in a quality manner.

Then enrich the vehicle with proprietary software in order to differentiate the product.

Decides to buy a product when there are multiple alternatives that would eliminate source of complaint...complains about the product.

“It also put into perspective exactly how amazing Tesla’s development has been and just how much hell Musk and Co. must have gone through.”

Your statement would be valid only in the case that Apple has committed same amount of resources (money) and focus to building a car.

If they did I am quite confident they would…

“Once they saw that Porsche and Toyota ain’t playing soft”

Especially Toyota :)

We are in agreement then :)

Audi can potentially try to carve out its niche via electric as it looks like they are moving towards factory team entry in FE. The problem is Porsche is vying for the Series’ battery supplier contract which can again make things less clear among target demographics.

DTM seems like a safe bet…

It’s not just the money:

1. Competing for the same target demographic (canibalizing each other sales)

“provide a commuter car that is inexpensive to run and inexpensive to buy that meets or exceeds current safety standards in the US”

The market for commuter cars is:

a. finite customer wise and crowded with seasoned and competent players (Honda, Toyota)

“I know that, were I to protest something I disagreed with on my employer’s time, I’d be subject to discipline (up to and including termination.)“

“Musk” and “false information” in the same sentence? Now I’ve heard everything!
