It takes about 5 years for most people in the US to recoup their investment.

You are wrong on quite a few aspects. The energy needed to make the battery does not sacrifice the benefit of said battery. And use of batteries make the car fuel agnostic. Thus having access to cheaper more abundant fuel sources.

Again you continue making clueless statements. We have made HUGE progress on both wind and solar. Wind is already cheaper than any fossil fuel. Solar has already cheaper than coal in some parts of the world. Both continue to drop in price and improve.

lol, you are joking right? There is enough offpeak capacity in most electric grids to power almost every single car on the road being electric. (yes without building any new powerstations you can power every car on the road on electricity)

People in Europe also drive less than those in America. And EVs also excel at city driving as they don’t suffer from idle losses or lose efficiency at slower speeds.

The answer here is simple. FIAT right now has a lot of money invested into the ICE. That means a too quick conversion to electric means they will have to write off all their spending into the ICE as a loss which would put them in the red. He knows electrification of cars is the future, he just wants to get there as…

He could have stopped the car from his key.

The most obvious scenario was that he was showing off the car’s features to someone else and was showing the summons feature. So he most likely thought the car would stop at the last second which it did not and we know why.

He was most likely showing off the car and the summons feature. Him walking off is impossible. Unless he is a teleporter.

Alright, then do tell the scenario where it would explain both. I am listening.

Considering the log is showing data of what the user did, you can easily tell what the issue was. It is not like the log was blank and the crash happened. What we have here is the accelerator being pressed. Even if there was an error in the autopilot not showing in the log it would not show the peddle being engaged by…

Not sure where you are getting that anyone is claiming that it is intentional on either side. The only intentional thing happening is the user lying. Why? Insurance. They accidentally crashed their car and if you claim it was the car rather than your fault you can sometimes even get it covered by the manufacturer…

Even in the crash of the summons, it was still obviously the users fault. The fact that the user lied is a big give away. It was obvious he was showing off the summons feature (despite using it where he was not suppose to)

When you join the BETA for autopilot you optin to sending log data back. You can opt out at any time.

You clearly don’t get the difficulty of establishing a new manufacturing line do you? You butthurt haters are the worst.

What was the joke, that you can’t read? Why is it that when people fail to read the article, instead of admitting fault they try to play it off as a joke?

Koch Puppet?

And there is a reason why Musk is a billionaire and you aren’t. Because he already knows this far better than you. If you have seen many of his speeches about supplies, he has always talked about multi-sourcing and not being dependent on 1 supplier. This comes from experience with PayPal’s close dependence on eBay…

Of course he did actually mention the solution. (Bringing some of these thing in-house).

And you have a history on hating on Tesla/Musk. Your point?

He is not placing the blame on anyone, he is just explaining a list of thing that caused delays. Then goes on to considering moving some of the production in-house.

I understand it just fine. But Tesla in general has operated a little different. In that they pushed the envelope of design, then tried to figure out how to manufacture it. While manufacturing was part of their design, it was a smaller voice where those in manufacturing had to adopt and come up with a solution to make…
