Hmm, interesting to think about the logic of it all.

You are correct, I was perhaps adding a bit of hyperbole to the description of the left, and your description is more accurate.

“Nissan, Mitsubishi all had visions of EVs in the 90s and early 00s. Their vision was a small car that you could use to get to and from work. All three Both built cars to their vision (i-MiEV, Leaf). They had execution, but no vision.” Well, sort of. They had the same vision that many had in the 1970s, where small…

Ah, good sir, you assume logic on the part of your fellow Americans. I wish that was a possibility, but I have my sincere doubts.

Is it cleaning house, or flushing the toilet?

I understand the joys of autocorrect, so you have my sympathy as well as my thanks for clarifying.

Yes, we do seem to be on the same train of thought, but still at different cars on that train.

Wait, your statement is a bit confusing.

I agree with almost everything you said, except that the gifted management teams create the future. No, they don’t, and they really can’t, either. They can make if favorable for things to happen as they see it, but the future is also prone to not following its predicted path. Even the smartest people usually get a lot…

How far away from work do you live? 100 miles away? A three hour or more commute each way?

Well, half the country is already in revolt, so why not make changes while there is that ability? Really, I mean it. Go full on California rules on the nation, as we are on the brink of civil war. That might just be the point that causes the whole idea that we are one nation to collapse. And if that is the reason,…

The real measure of a successful management team is one that can correctly see 10-20 years into the future and lead the company in that direction.

Good for you! Enjoy the Sky, it will surely bring you a lot of joy. And congratulations on being able to do it in the manner you did. I think I enjoy my Miata more knowing it is paid for, and is a secondary car for when I want to drive it. But on a crisp fall day, nothing beats driving it, top down, with the biggest…

Again, agreeing to disagree. Yes, it is hard to compare the relative wealth of Chinese versus American workers, and one could argue either way that the Chinese workers are better off than American workers. The biggest difference is that American workers are less likely to be able to get factory jobs that pay them the…

Well, perhaps we will have to agree to disagree. Yes, wealth disparity in China is a huge problem. But not as bad as here. And taking into account that they have healthcare and retirement benefits via the state, not their job, their annual income is not an apples to apples comparison to ours. If half of their annual…

Neutral: Where Is Our €15bn?

The thing with Chinese pickups is that while we don’t see them in the EU (because pickups are not good sellers there) or the US market, we do see them in Australia, and they sell there fairly well, considering. They are price leaders, and that is exactly how any new company comes into a new market - either on the low…

“We are very happy Tesla came to China because Tesla is just like Apple in the early days, they educate the whole market.”

No, they really like using a combination of Vick’s Vapor rub and sand as a lube. Grinds and burns.....

Look, your points are valid, with the exception that governments are required to be a part of generation. Homeowners who produce their own power is a reality - today - and homes and businesses are actually putting excess generated power into the grid. Not much. But every excess watt is one that was more than the…
