Fun story: when I was looking for GM in the early 00s, I worked in the “closure group”, i.e. hatches, hoods, trunks, and doors. We worked on the first generation Cadillacs with the “Art and Science” theme, and these were the first Cadillacs to be imported to Europe in a while. Apparently, the few users in Germany…

It’s Elon Musk in a smoky haze. Cough cough.

Did somebody say worst?

I read about a guy with an English import who would set his seat way back and the front passenger seat way forward to display his dog more prominently. He said he loved the double-take from passing cars.

When asked how he felt after the incident, the driver said “rough.”

How do you expect an explanation when she has a cigarette in one hand and is texting in the other?

Shortly before the unveiling...

Last one, I swear. 

They lose money on every one they sell but BY GOD they are going to make it up with increased volume!

“Tesla has already show that electric cars can be built profitably.”

I know the french like to brag about things after the fact ... but this was their army in ww:

“Wow, amazing. NONE of the Citroen trucks lasted more than 3,000 miles and they all failed catastrophically! Congrats on the sabotage.”

But also, don’t bank too much on a customer base that’s aging out/dying off. Or you’ll actually end up like Harely Davidson.

Don’t piss off your sole customer base. It’s like Harley Davidson saying our new bikes won’t support anyone who weighs over 140 pounds.

Elon Musk was cited fleeing the scene.

“So, sounds like instead of an Apple store experience, Tesla is pushing a Best Buy experience to employees?”

I once worked at a software company where a salesman made a huge sale that would have netted him hundreds of thousands of dollars in commission. However, between the time that the customer agreed to buy and before the PO arrived, they changed the customer into a “corporate account”, under which no commission was paid.
