You’re correct from the technical and mechanical point, but missing the psychological point of view. Plug-in hybrids are terrific for people who are uncomfortable going full-in on EV’s. Just use the Level 1 charger that comes with the car, run the EV side in your daily commuting, use the ICE for longer trips.

Right on the money. The wife and I own two Bolts, which happily take care of 95% or more of our yearly driving. There’s also a sixteen year old Kia Sedona with 152k on it for the times we need to haul major loads, or do a long trip (which invariably means hauling more stuff than one of the Bolts can handle). It…

If you insist on flying private and think that somehow, people knowing about your private flights creates a risk, then you can also afford private security to ease your concerns rather than using attorneys to ease your concerns by restricting the free communication of the observing public.

“exactly what Trump and his ilk accuses the other guys of doing”

You can’t convince me that the Federal government had no idea about his drug use. However, now that it’s out in the main stream media, it will be interesting to see how they respond with respect to his security clearance and funding for his companies.

The production pause was a wise move. I wouldn’t want a truck built during that week in Detroit. 

It’s likely because it was intentional. Shit like this is done when companies/organizations want to maliciously comply rather than actively work to finalize deals.

That’s just weird.

Because a lot of americans have little dick energy and need a big electric truck. 

Here’s my take on the ‘Border Issue’. I was just in Texas last week, drove from Mobile, AL to El Paso, TX. Spent 2 nights in Marfa and for a whole day we drove from Marfa, through both Big Bend parks State/National.

If they are really concerned about the border, why aren’t they calling their senators and representatives to pass the bipartisan border security bill that the speaker has said he will not even bring up for a vote....

oh, right

Even better, he fails to realize that most of his customers/early adopters/beta testers were basically those same people he’s railing against.

Those aero wheel covers were on the concept car in 2019. Avoiding contact with the sidewall is something I would expect a competent company to have figured out years ago. That truck only has “a couple thousand miles” on it.  What other shortcuts were made to rush this thing out the door?

1st Gear: In other words, selfish entitled adult man throws toys out of his pram and throws a tantrum because he can’t get his way.

Elon Musk: “I don’t like the DE ruling that favored shareholders instead of me. We need to move incorporation from DE to TX in order to favor me over shareholders!!” *

So they’ll just attempt an OTA fix, like they always do?

If Elon wants to move the incorporation out of  DE without shareholder and board approval -- and quite frankly, actually looking into the costs and benefits/pitfalls -- that’s about the biggest case of poor management I can imagine. If the board and shareholders had any reservations about giving him MORE control, this…

The funny thing is how many of them say “This is why I don’t visit this site anymore.” repeatedly.

I’ve hated Elon WAY longer than he’s owned Twitter.
