I’m not understanding where your beef is really. People go around promoting car brands or any brand for free all the time.

Have you seen how much trucks cost these days? It’s cost is fairly competitive and its capabilities are pretty good.

There is nothing lazy or unresolved about it. It looks the way it does to optimize aerodynamics while using such a thick stainless steel body.

Everyone knows the cheap gas prices are temporary, and doesn’t really help automakers one bit. Because people aren’t driving nor buying cars.

I think there is a misunderstanding, no one wants an electric car from Bob Lutz *looks at VIA motors*, if it ain’t from him, then people would gladly buy one.

The thing a lot of people don’t realize is that a large part of Tesla’s debit is solar city. Which pays for itself since most of it is in leases. The debt pays itself off. So it’ll only really get risky if the people can’t pay for their lease.

Are you one of those people who have been put in a capsule and just woke up? Tesla has been profitable for the last few quarters.

It’s a lot worse than people think in some sense, because even businesses from home can be complicated. Sure, you might see increased activity, but many partners are pausing checks from 30-60 days, to 90+ days.

The thing is, we need standard procedures for handling the virus, at this point everyone is trying different stuff and it takes time to get results. While a vaccine is at least 1 year away, drugs like remdesivir has shown positive results so far, we just don’t know the side effects all to well.

The increasing your share theory sounds kind of flawed. It’s not like oil is being sold directly to consumers, any short term gains of share would just be that, short term. And I am more than willing to bet during the discussion, Saudi has threatened to increase production as retaliation. This isn’t something out of…

At first I couldn’t tell if I accidentally clicked on The Onion or not...

Ah, no. Again, Russia’s intention was to kill of the US oil industry as retaliation to the US. Saudi is simply a 3rd wheel in all this. When they saw Russia increase output during Corona, they tried to convince Russia to stop. But Russia refused, so Saudi took decided to also increase output to bury them both.

Saudi Arabia was the one who wanted to cut back on production.

The problem here stems from the origin of the low oil prices. If it was due to natural competition that would be one thing. But the goal here is that Russia wants to bankrupt the american oil companies as retaliation for blocking them in Europe.

Even if you subtract the taxes, the entire west coast has higher prices.

Because oil companies are doing it on purpose

No they do not, neither do they disable it once you bought it.

They are worried that for 2 reasons:

If it costs that much, whats the point? You are better off just buying one of the upcomming electric trucks going half the price and modifying that.

They don’t advertise what hardware is in it.
