Mercedes was busy spending R&D where it really mattered, finding more places they can stick their logo onto.

That isn’t what form over function means! Form over function means something is made for the sake of looks, not for the sake of usage! The truck is like that to help improve aerodynamics, which is a function, not for form!

So how long till NASA sends another $300 million under the table to Boeing like last time?

Again, the surface is like that due to the limitations of working with thick stainless steel, not because they wanted it to look like that. (Just look at every other Tesla which is egg shaped)

You are not very smart are you? Carfax doesn’t include Tesla in their rankings because they don’t sell enough of them.

Again you don’t read, Musk delivered multiple types of machines. The Medtronics are in short supply, the bipap ones are also in short supply, just not as badly as the other ones.

Probably because Tesla cars have the highest satisfaction of any car?

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.

The invasive ventilation 35k Medtronic machines that were just installed were not in short supply? LEARN TO READ!

Did you even read what I wrote or are you in denial?

But there is a shortage of everything, mostly because of restrictions, panic and etc.

There is a shortage of ALL ventilators. These were imported from another country. And are a temporary measure until Tesla starts their own local production.

Anything he does gets attention, so not sure where you are getting. Again, I am not following where your problem is? If there is any fault, it’s with the media picking up every single tweet.

A tweet is not “that grand”. It takes 5 seconds to do and anyone can do it.

I’m not arguing that its not self promotion, I was disagreeing with you about you stating about the “level” of self promotion. A tweet is nothing that grand.

He promised ventilators, he delivered what he promised, ventilators. This is a temporary measure until they get ventilator production up and running in their own factory. You know, doing whats he can in the meantime.

If you actually read the Financial Times article, you wouldn’t be asking which doctors/hospitals cause the article already gave a few examples. Like this one:

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