You are aware private companies would be building these things one way or the other right? The only difference is in how it is done.

LEDs have things like temperature, angle and CRI as well to consider.

Personally, I want to know why people ARE buying diamonds. Out of the many expensive stones, diamonds are some of the most worthless stones. Hence why no one will buy your diamond back. Unless it is investment grade which is highly unlikely.

First of all, it is top 25, there is more than 25. Second of all, Tesla has the best selling cars in their segments. Taking a gold medal in every segment you participated in is good, even if your country comes in 25th in total gold medals.

The thing about that is the fuel economy standard is pretty soft on trucks. Their best selling truck, the Silverado gets about 20-21 mpg. So they would only need to improve 2-3 mpg by 2025. Not that much of an issue.

But they outsold MINI, JEEP and HONDA. Sure they might not rank up there as a brand, but do note they only have a few models of cars (Model S, X and 3).

Why are you comparing a small battery vs a small fuel cell? Again, fuel cell costs increase dramatically the more KW output. And a ship needs a lot of KW. In comparison, after the fixed cost, battery prices are pretty linear.

Tesla has been sending cars to Europe for the entire year. That is more than simply “fulfilling preorders”.

All the materials inside lithium ion batteries are extremely common.

Tesla tunes their cars more for city/highway driving while the porche is tuned mostly for highway driving. Even then your own link shows the Tesla Model 3 winning in range.

Here is Europe’s best selling cars for December:

Uhm, you are aware emission credits make up like 2% of their revenue... that is virtually insignificant.

It isn’t even that. It’s called a short squeeze. Where limited amount of stock is on the market and as the stock went up, shorts were forced to cover which sent the stock up even higher. As other shorts see the stock climb, they go “well the stock is going to go down soon” and jump in to short, only to ending up…

There is a saying, a market can remain unreasonable longer than you can remain solvent.

Can’t Tesla be both a tech company AND a car company? They also technically an energy company.

Well it doesn’t help that the Volt was a sedan in an SUV world. But the Volt could have easily sold 2-3x what it did at the very least.

Look, if your car name didn’t come from crushing a charity, it ain’t a Ferrari.

Or when you can get famous people to advertise your produce for free.

That is a MYTH. Most of a cars pollution isn’t during production but from driving. Overall, a new car would break even vs a used car in about 1-2 years. Of course that depends on the mpg of the car.

Actually, the Model 3 is lighter and has a much larger interior than the Mirai.
