Except isnt production capacity Tesla’s main barrier to profitability? If this increases capacity, it is likely more valuable than future cash from from contracts. Also, they will have to honor the current contracts because they are contracts. It’s an issue of future contracts.

This isn’t really a question of hard to work with. This is a question of Grohmann not understanding how selling your company means you don’t have control over it anymore. You may buy a company for their expertise or their existing contracts, but if it is primarily their expertise and you need all of their capacity,…

From what this article says, I would side with Elon.

It’s times like these that I miss Kinja’s image annotations the most.

This is old news to most people who actual subscribe to the diet, oddly enough. I think one of the reasons Whole30 has been so successful because they rebranded paleo without the anachronistic misnomer. Most folks in the *~*~*paleo community nowadays view it as a low carb, body building lifestyle, not as a…

I guess the Miata (the best selling sports car in history) is too cheap for Mr. Orlove. Just look at the low-class people who drive those things. They probably went to second-rate prep schools. Simply dreadful.

Member when Jalopnik writers were kissing The Grand Tour guys arses a few weeks ago before they discovered that there was a cast member that plays on the stereotype American?

Clarkson is what he is and can’t be bothered learn, change, or adapt. The last several seasons of Top Gear and the first episodes of The Grand Tour confirm this.

Old rich men touting ignorant opinions on media platforms with large consumer bases is detrimental to progress.

It was as if Ferrari decided to leave Formula One for a regional dirt track series in the American South.

The Chinese can fuck right off with their bullshit. Having done business in China, it is one of my most despised countries. Because of the economic boom in the late 90s, which is now tapering off, the modesty and humility that were once common in the Chinese culture have all but disappeared. They have, unfortunately,…

Do you think your job sucks? You are not that satellite ‘s insurance company. You’re fine

Possibly even the absurd trunk on the VW Type III Fastback.
