It’s so sad that we as humans are so limited in our ability to put our selfish survivalistic maximizing pride aside and get past the paper version of our value and work together to simply find real solutions to real problems. The Great Depression didn’t have to happen and the results didn’t need...

Imagine how much we could save if we just cancelled half the useless government. I pay tens of thousands to them every year. Imagine what I could afford.

I completely agree. It’s hard to tell what’s real value right now vs speculative or just excess funds in the market due to Covid. You could look across a lot of industries and find that they are producing and or profiting 10 to 20 percent less than 2019, but somehow are valued 300% more. I think...

You know what was really eye opening to me is that campaign contributions are written such that the maximum amounts are adjusted for inflation and have been for a long time. But peoples pay isn’t adjusted for inflation and has been stuck at crazy low rates for a very long time. Pay should be set...

It would be a really bad idea to unionize Tesla. They are innovating at a pace that the union could not keep up with and our civilization needs people like Elon to shake the rust off our ways of thinking and doing and expose what we could be. The unions fight for profit and and comfort and Tesla...

Wow, Tesla refuses to use lidar and proves that simply images and recognition software may be enough to have Highly successful AI and a lady with a highly profitable position on a lidar company board is writing skewed and biased opinion without much evidence. Go figure.

And this relates to the CT how???

What about the taxes and other fees on both purchases?

I would imagine that with mass production it would be easier to set it up for the most complicated option and produce that first to immediately make use and profit off your machinery. Then turn off sections/skip/reduce the assembly line to make simpler versions. Adding complexity to an already...

Ok UAW. We see what you are up to here. Unionizing adds cost. Period. It will also slow down or possibly even stop the innovation that Tesla is trying to make. Its already very hard if not impossibly impractical to mow through the political and municipal bullshit to actually get things built in...

I wonder if they want to go public just in case the truck flops. All the leadership can sell off their stock and walk away with millions while the company folds.

My first thought is from recent polls that I have seen, Rivian doesn’t rank very high among desired EVs (I think I will coin the abbreviation ET for electric truck if it hadn’t been done yet). And even if it’s first to market it’s a $67,500 base cost. Now, I get that the average new vehicle cost...

They right all this as they sit typing on a highly complex electronic computer that started out a wall of rotating devices and capacitors that simply solved math problems. I am sure many stood back and said, “What a foolish endeavor. Can’t people already solve these math problems. What do we...

I will believe the 4680 delay when its clear that they are ready to produce the car but they don't have the cells available. If they had warehouses full of those cells today it wouldn't matter because they are not ready for them and we would not start to see vehicles next week with them. If they...

It only has a series of claims because people are hyper focused on Tesla. I don't see people writing news articles about a series of Honda civics that hit first responders with cruise control on. It will be interesting to see what the data says.

I just have a hard time believing that they would spend hundreds of millions on a factory that would be delayed by a product that they invented. I think the truth is that it takes longer to build stuff than Elon would like to believe. They also said that the CT is just starting the beta phase...

Its interesting that we spend so much time debating on what the hold up is. As if there was key missing link in the critical path that could get us the CT sooner. Entertaining this, its definitely not a government investigation regarding autopilot. That probably will take up valuable Tesla...

Awesome. Thanks gov. for another clearly great use of our tax dollars (sarcasm). Like Crissa pointed out the data is clear that the tesla autopilot is a great system and will only get better with time, but politicians care more about optics than facts. So if this is anything like the firearm...

Once you go minivan you don’t go back. I think ours has 20 cup holders and I am fairly certain we almost fill them all up frequently. The auto sliding doors, low threshold. Wide aisles for the kids to get themselves around in. Seats disappear when we need to haul larger cargo. Oh and most...

RockAuto is awesome. For some reason I didn't even think to look there. I hope great resources like RockAuto survive this transition to EVs. Thanks,
