But I know a guy that knows a girl that knows another girl that was in the car he hit, and she had her seatbelt on, and she survived. So, there is that.

Oh gawd, why?

When is Elon going to either ask for assistance, or hire competent people to help him run the company in a forward direction, instead of into the ground?

This is a logistics nightmare on Tesla’s side. I can guarantee that the person that was supposed to handle the arrangements either didnt understand what they were supposed to be doing, or they went with the lowest bidder because they didnt really have enough drivers either, or they called a broker they saw online and…

Not at all. If he were in the union as well, the same thing would have happened. They would still mandate a union member remove a tiny screw.  How ridiculous. 

F that, because it is ridiculous. I was on a construction job. We needed to move a simple tractor ten feet, so the rest of the task could be completed.

Tat is an absolute false statement.  Even before unions became strong in the early 1900's, many companies were giving their employees great wages and benefits.  

Nexactly., he was absolutely correct when he said "unions".

Exactly.

Yes, the unions drove the wages too high, but also government regulations and ridiculously high taxes were also part of the problem, and a lot of companies left.  But now that there is a lot less burdensome and unnecessary regulations and lower taxes, many of those businesses have moved back, and new ones are…

Tdn I hope you like paying more for the same item.

No, unions actually stifle production and innovation and hold many people back from showing their full potential.  I was forced to join two unions, and neither helped me, but rather hurt me.

A phone is different than a BEV battery.  You'll need more than 5 minutes of charging to get 80% battery life.

However, a lot of people still drive a lot if miles throughout their day, running all around town and errands etc. So needing to pull into a station is still necessary.

No, but they weren't promised affordable vehicles for years, and then had those making the promise fail to deliver.

It's still $38k, almost $40k, and that is before adding extra, upgrades and taxes.

Tesla has their proprietary system, as does VW etc.

Last night I saw the commercial for the water powered flashlight.  When will that technology be scaled up to power a vehicle?  That is the future.

I actually like the way this car looks.

It still takes a looooooonnnnnngggggg time to change a full sized BEV battery.  It isn't as simple as changing a lead acid battery under the hood or in the trunk of a passenger car.
