Yup.  After the Pandemic, I hope that everyone is more aware of how pathogens spread and will use their sick days to protect others as well as recover faster.  It’s better for an employee to take a sick day than it is to come to work, suffer through 3 days of reduced productivity, and spread the pathogen to others,…

The one who uses his days almost immediately, should be subject to increased scrutiny.  And a management decision about how valuable he is to the company relative to the hassle he creates needs to be made.  But if he’s not breaking the law or company policy, all you can do is watch him and decide if his productivity…

Hmmm, I get trust but verify, but with a call out rate that much higher than the average, there is a reason.

Those trucks with the huge snoots are both ugly and dangerous. The hoods are so high that the driver’s view is significantly obstructed.

Is the SSR really a truck?

I thought that was for software development, “move fast, break stuff, fix it after release”.

So if Tesla can brick your Tesla vehicle remotely, do you really own it?

Because there are few other EV trucks, and most of the people who buy a truck for truck things aren’t going to buy and EV.

There’s too much chaff in the wheat that is US manufacturer vehicles. Not worth the time to sort through it all to find the few make and model year combos that are reliable.

A 21 year old car from a US manufacturer? Nope.

Considering how much experimental tech they keep trying to force on owners of their cars, making them unwitting Alpha testers, I’d say it’s a tech company.

He could be simply offering one of his existing children to her, but your take is likely the better one.

Yes, history does tend to repeat itself.

And I bet that if he could, he would and they would buy it faster than they jump to defend him.

I agree, but Elon Musk went super political, and whacko as well, which makes it news since he’s ‘influential’ within transportation circles.

The continental US is 3.7 million square miles.

He can commute via a commercial airline at his own expense, or move. No other employee would be allowed to use a company jet to commute every week.

I agree, but I think that since much of the infrastructure is in place (roads and fueling stations) I think that more people would buy an EV without an incentive if there were chargers at every fuel station.

Well, Tesla is publicly traded and I wonder just how much Tesla stock Musk holds anymore.  Tesla could survive a Musk implosion if he doesn’t own a truly massive amount of the stock.  He’d be likely to start to sell it off if he got in deep enough that selling off assets was his only option.

The first few models were fine, but it sounds like the later ones, and especially the Cybertruck, are sub-par.
