The Fremont factory has a long and bad reputation, predating Tesla, for bad paint and stuff.
1
70% in the US and the next closest is Ford with 10%.
1
Tesla aren’t playing catch up to anyone. Their tech is easily the best in the industry. Their manufacturing blows everyone away. They spend 1/3 the time building cars as BMW and make 3x the money per-sale. Ford’s CEO has repeatedly said that Tesla are the best car makers and Ford will emulate them A hybrid isn’t a counter to BEV.

Stealing implies that we remove the native population. We incorporate them into our country.

@kNowFixx no, the Mongols, Scythians, and Apache all have/had remarkably similar cultures because they were grassland herders.
1
@kNowFixx slightly different? They’ve been genetically separated from each other for at least 20,000 years
1
Why would Tesla want to learn how to build cars slower and expensively? Toyota need to to hire Joe Justice or someone else who’s worked at Tesla to tech them how to do AGILE manufacturing.
1
@dafff08 say that when Toyota can build a car faster and cheaper
1
@dafff08 We’re talking about Toyota vs Tesla.

Russia is the largest country by land area.
1
Australia is less isolated than the Americans, but that giant desert in the middle of the continent limits its growth.
1
@BirdTurdMemes no, the US has a semiarid grassland, which also happens to have the largest natural navigable water system in the world running through it.
1
No, we would have just retaken Hawaii, only prolonging the war.
1
Even if everything you claim is true, committing cultural genocide against the Tibetans isn’t justifiable.
1
They are free.
1
You act like the Zulu weren’t invaders themselves, and they definitely didn’t have the institutions to run a modern nation. Nothing was stolen from South Africa. They were given a great bargain for the institutions they were given. They just were too incompetent to keep it
1
The Philippines was given to the US after the Spanish-American war
1
lunayen, the empire was for the betterment of Britain, but the idea that all an empire does is take is nonsense. The British spent a lot of money and resources on the empire to build a transportation system, and India is still using the system. In Africa the system fell apart almost immediately. Life isn’t as simple as empires are all bad.
1
Canada is in the top 10% of military spending. Not what I would call weak, accept in comparison to the US
1
Tesla are the most efficient OEM. Everyone needs to take lessons from them.
1
The irony of telling other people to do their research after saying everything is peachy between all the different groups.
1
Most of his wealth is from owning stocks of the companies he’s a/the founder of. Also, the explicit goal of all his companies is to help humanity in one way or another.
1
That is an extremely superficial take. There’s a lot more to a car than house it looks, and frankly, all the others suck past the fit and finish. The ID.4 with new Audi badges was apparently designed by a button fetishist because no one would have put so many buttons in it. The UI is terrible. The undercarriage is primitive. The battery design is terrible. I can keep going, but you get it
1
A couple carrier groups in the right places and we can cut off most of China's trade.
1
Have a chance? They’re 7x larger than the next largest EV makers, and they’re the only ones making money building EVs.
1
Blob 1) Are you talking about the EU or Europe because those are two different things? 2) If you’re talking about the EU, that’s not a country. It’s a trade organization with pretensions of being a federal republic.
1
Blob ok, then why are you comparing a collection of countries with no common language, culture, or geopolitical interests to the US?
1
China has some third rate powers on their side, and you think that means something? Also, Duturte came begging for the US to take him back like some schoolgirl who broke up with her boyfriend for the new guy at school. Indonesia is more or less neutral, and China has been rubbing them the wrong way. China and Vietnam have had a 18 war throughout their history and China lost every single time. You really think Japan is just going to let China push them around? You act like the US hasn't fought numerous wars across the planet over our history. During WW2 the US literally fought two wars on three separate continents, and our technology and logistics have only gotten better since then.
1
You make sure he classic mistake of thinking that a reticents to enter a fight means an unwillingness to fight once the fighting starts. You're literally bringing up ancient history. In the 1979 war, China got their asses handed to them. China sent in a much larger force but was driven back after a less than a month.
1
The Chinese are subtly asserting their claim on Vladivostok.
1
There are too many reasons to count. However, here's a short list: cost, danger, spent fuel is better used than just left.
1
They have a 30% profit margin, the highest in the industry, and other companies aren’t even making money selling EVs.
1
Taiwan is an independent state in all but name.

@googiegress explaining how something can be done can also be an explanation of how doing so is a terrible idea. Did you not see all of the batteries and various other things that have to be used to make renewables viable? That’s a complex and hugely expensive system to build and operate. We can get rid of fossil fuels with nuclear for a fraction of the price and problems.
1
@googiegress 1) Viable doesn’t mean good. You can modify a car to run off wood-gas. That doesn’t mean wood-gas is the best way to power a car. 2) Adding an extra step is always going to be more expensive, and waiting around for some possible future is stupid. We have to do the best with what we have. 3) you’re not accounting for the externalities or renewables. Solar panels make 10X the waste of nuclear. Then there’s the huge areas contaminated from mining REEs used in solar and wind. Moreover, how do you feel about the morality of using slave labor in China to make those solar panels?
1
@googiegress 1) you miss my point entirely. There are better ways to accomplish your goals. 2) you presume that renewables are the best end goal and the only thing stopping it is technology. They’re not. 3) I said 10x the waste. I didn’t say 10x the lethality. Trying to compare lethality is too complicated for the effort I’m willing to invest into a YouTube comment.

@googiegress if you’re going to use quotation marks it has to be verbatim, not a paraphrasing, and paraphrasing is exactly why you’re not understanding what I’m saying. You’re paraphrasing me then trying to extract meaning from it, which I had no input into. I never agreed that we should be comparing best practices. We should compare the mode. Unfortunately for solar, China is the modal operating standard.
1
With American regulations and the Jones act, it’s not surprising.
1
I have a better idea: repossess and burn in more advanced reactors. This circumvents the whole problem in the first place.
1
Many of them are churches, and their goal is generally not to help people break the law but survive the harsh desert.
1
That was to stop places like California from just dictating how things would be, like Pairs doesnto the rest of France.
1
@kevinmauricio4747 yes, I compared a city to a state. The problem doesn’t change between scale, and it’s not that big of a difference in scale. What’s hard to understand that the US is set up so that a few states with large populations don’t just form a simple majority and do what ever they want?
1
An invasion from the West coast wouldn’t make it past the Sierra Nevadas. An invasion from the East coast wouldn’t get past the Appalachians.

Tesla isn’t a battery company. It’s a tech company that builds hardware
1
Texas broke away and was an independent nation for a decade before joining the US.
