Ha, I guess the latter. While I think they do have some good long-term growth potential, I think they are currently undervalued due to mismanagement and lower 2021/2022 growth numbers coming off a the start of the pandemic in 2020 early 2021. It certainly feels like there is a smear campaign...

It was a tough decision on Tesla vs Peloton, but I picked up some Tesla today. Hopefully, that will be the last of the stock-impacting tweets... but I doubt it.

Interesting graphic and I totally understand that urban/non-car centric settings can be more efficient especially when talking in terms of road infrastructure. The 2 things I do not see accounted for are: 1. People who live in the suburbs but work in the downtown areas. The biggest expense...

I heard it is powered by garbage using Mr. Fusion. Below is their latest working prototype.

My guess is that he was on "Garden Leave", meaning as soon he gave notice to Tesla they told him to go home but contractually had to pay him for X period of time. While he officially left Tesla last month, my guess is that his actual last day of work was earlier than that and Ford lawyers have...

I see the shift to EV happening, but it will be at a much slower pace. For personal equipment, do what makes sense for your use case. For example, I have a gas mower, electric weed eater, electric blower, and gas edger. I bought a battery edger, but that was very short-lived as it was not...

I totally agree with this and I hate the one size fits all mentality of government mandates. If they want to do something, stick to incentives and let the market shift to electrical equipment on its own. My current lawn equipment is a mix of gas and battery-powered equipment. I have a gas...

These are interesting comments from someone who works at Boeing. Do you have something up your sleeve for the aviation industry to move away from fossil fuels?

Yep, but it made for a good internet yesterday: https://thechive.com/2021/07/20/jeff-bezos-went-to-space-and-the-internet-was-quick-to-ground-him-21-photos/

Heck, might as well shell out a cool $600k so you can enjoy your boat for 4 total hours. :ROFLMAO: I'm still rooting for someone to figure it out. Saving $ on maintenance would be another huge benefit since there is no such thing as a cheap maintenance item on a boat.

I googled and while there are some makers, they either fall into the category of severely under powered (like the 5 hp small boat posted above) or they are way too expensive ($200k) for the normal recreational boater. Seems like Tesla or another EV maker could seize the opportunity to do it...

We took out the boat and jetski this weekend and it struck me that those would be perfect candidates for EVs. They do not get used more than a few hours at a time, you have plenty of time in between uses to recharge, you generally store them in locations with electricity already, the...

My head hurts after reading this post and I hope it is a poor attempt at humor. I'm licensed to carry a firearm, and you do not have the right mentality and maturity to carry. A firearm is to only be used as a last resort to prevent death or serious harm to someone. Using it as any other...

I've argued before on here that the government should stay out of mandating the switch to EV, but it would be even worse for them to slow down the market's natural shift to EV. If that means we lose an few companies along the way because they did not keep up, then so be it. Just because you...

For the record, I'm much more comfortable with the government offering incentives than I am with them outright mandating something. With the carrots/incentives, you still have the choice to do what is best for you as an individual or you as a landlord. With the bulldozer/mandates, that choice...
