Nowhere in this article was “Muslim country” ever raised or even implied. Not one reference to Islam or Muslims. Quite a bit mocking the regime in Turkmenistan, including the big personality eccentric dictator.

Call me old fashion but I still just think about the fact that in two years I am $14,400 in the hole and have nothing to show for it.

Why are people supposedly “blah” about this? If anything its the start is what a monumental shift of the likes not seen in automobiles in 100+ years, the transitioning away from ICE engines to all-electric drivertrains.

That untold billions are being spent by every major automaker also means that the costs of these…

David, these vehicles are hulking piles of shit. I expect you to buy them.

no.. IDIOT! we can see the moon is round. duh

This is where you lost me. I live in Charlotte, and I still don’t want to see that. The story just doesn’t make any sense, the man must be innocent.

Zinke is from Montana, which ranks top 5 in funds received. This dude should thank Christ for the urban dwellers supplementing his state’s viability.

so he’s pissy-tweeting because he doesn’t get a taste?

God it’s pathetic how “urban” gets tossed around as an insult. Cities power the American economy and send billions of dollars to rural areas to support them. We should acknowledge the contributions rural America makes to the country, but acting as though people who live in cities (i.e., a substantial majority of the…

That is why I didn’t buy one.

Sorry but I have no sympathy for him. I won’t say that “just following orders” is never a defense, but when those orders involve a grand conspiracy to commit the same crime repeatedly over many years, deliberately defrauding both the government and consumers, “just following orders” is not a defense.

Why should he be treated different than other organized crime? Someone has to take responsibility and if they can build a case against other execs and employees I’m all for that too.

As an IT guy who has left more than one job over requests to do something I thought illegal, I have no sympathy at all. I only hope that VW’s board members face the same should they decide to come for a visit.

oh my tesla workers, getting paid holidays, overtime pay, vacation time off, health benefits, retirement savings.... not to mention a decent wage for the job (just not the state/area the job is in). all with out the union.... The horror. - source from a friend who works for tesla, and has tried to get me to come work…

The UAW stirring up shit to make sure they get their foot in the door to more cash from a growing automotive company? The UAW operates under a money motive - just like Tesla does.

Glad to hear they are taking this seriously. Now, if only the Oil industry would do the same. The Oil industry’s record in Africa is a horror show of murder and corruption. Shell, Exxon, and others have done some terrible things there.

Sounds like oc speak for get ready for 2000 more years of gasoline while we figure this out.

No mention that Tesla is already well ahead of the curve on this, Ryan?

Good, hopefully they will also “tackle” child labor in the petroleum industry.

Elio’s mistake is a classic engineering one that damn near every technical department makes at one point or another: “We didn’t invent that here, so it must be crap”.
