    2600
  2. Sitting in the sun and weather for 3 yrs is used to me.
    545
  3. Wealth has nothing to do with basic driving aptitude. She had other similar incidents (reportedly) and obviously had no biz behind the wheel, luckily she 'quit' before killing innocents.
    535
  4. Home owner should be fined $100 for missing their heads, given a grand worth of ammo and sentenced to 40 hours free range practice/instruction so that he can kill the crims next time.    :-O
    529
  5. I previously opposed Mr. T. and now hope to hell he wins.

  8. Real women still want real men no matter what they say, that will never change.
    355
  9. Never before have we seen congress ppl with little generic handout signs of defiance. Dems look amazingly childish and pointless.
    289
  10. Seemed we already knew plenty but details matter. Accountability is crucial.
    264
  11. JT earned the hatred he receives, we didn't get there easily, we are not hateful ppl, but insulated isolated elite tyrants are despicable.
    264
  12. Joe: you have an exceptionally good, entertaining and unique style. WELL DONE and Thanks!
    244
  13.  @ATruckCampbell  Definitely good enough for it's day, or 3rd world today, still crappy, so to speak.
    209
  14. Great advert for United, now imagine how qualified their pilots must be.
    207
  15. They should also fire anyone who's ever had a beer, pharmaceutical, cigarette....then they'll have half a dozen dumbasses to choose from nation wide.
    204
  16. Amazing what body cams can accomplish. hahaha
    200
  17. I hope this comment adds a penny or three to your channel. :D
    183
  18. "One small step for humanity, one giant leap for a man"
    176
  19. Sure nice to have the UN and YT saving me from disinformation.
    135
  20.  @aahzmandiaz2767  Why not simply stop all restocking? Or just offer what the USSR had--seed oil and rice, let them experience the Communism they embrace.
    135
  21. Most cats actually do, lol.
    133
  22. This is why you DON'T stamp your initials on your tools in some situations folks.
    129
  23. Kids missing time in public schools probably made them smarter tho. 😄
    123
  24. Lucky bastards--we NEED that in Cali.
    111
  25. Correction: NO new details.
    102
  26. Goes to show what Jordan Peterson suggested--don't think you or we can't become unfathomably evil like common folks in Nazi Germany.
    100
  27. This is how tyrants have always behaved, they don't care about consequences as long as they themselves are immune.
    98
  28. Passed same place twice. lol Dad would always tell cabbies he visited NYC all the time so they wouldn't pull that "extended trip" scam on him.
    97
  29. I'm ready for a R governor.
    95
  30. These sort adaptations have been going on for millions of yrs. whatever those adaptations may be. NO WAY war is new in this neck of the woods, for any of them.
    92
  31. Yeah I always take those with a half grain of salt, what hubby is going to say it sucks even when it does?
    92
  32. Typical YouTube hyperbolic title.  Non of those things could have destroyed the world.
    92
  33. Yeah fortunately the Nanny State hasn't totally destroyed everything yet, give it time.
    91
  34. Reportedly a fire chief, who threatened to arrest a helicopter pilot for rescuing an elderly couple, has been fired. (for what it's worth, an instance of accountability)
    91
  35. Lol. Most unnecessary comment in history.
    86
  36. Last time he was in Europe he lectured about the Western governments slide into Authoritarianism and was met with outrage by Euro leaders.
    86
  37.  @jeanlamb5026  Tune into reality--O'Leary explains it very well. Say you want a mortgage on your house, you make it look as good and valuable as you can, RIGHT?? (I know you are penniless and don't own anything, hypothetically) But you as owner are checked by effected parties assessment and the two sides compromise, usually somewhere in the middle. You can claim it's worth twice what it is, that's NOT FRAUD it's negotiating. GET IT?? The bank doesn't just take your word for it. Are you a fraud for telling a prospective employer you think you are worth X salary when they say you are only worth X/2?
    85
  38. The power of NOT giving up.
    84
  39. NO ONE has manually thrown coal into a furnace in 50 yrs.
    82
  40. First she exercises her power by pussifing him then she'll become disgusted with his weakness and stray for a real man. That's the way it goes.
    76
  41. Better that Hollywood doesn't murder it.
    74
  42. Both Keystone cops lined up with each other too for a moment, in this instance if they hit eachother it wouldn't be worst result.
    72
  43. That will further ensure no one else opens business there. They too can learn to farm.
    71
  44. Remember when Tesla was criticized by Wall St. for investing in charging network? (but of course the criticized everything Elon and Tesla)
    71
  45. Elon's politics are only offensive to weak minded extremists, he's rational and politically centrist.
    70
  46. BarocaS2 No?  Well I guess their next victims will likely be killed thanks to attitudes like yours.  Get back to me after your house has been repeatedly broken into and see if your tune is not adjusted a tad. Or maybe you are a thug too and so sympathize with them?  The law doesn't slow these animals down, the fear of getting shot by a home owner DOES.
    69
  47. Who said: "The first causality of war is the truth."
    69
  48.  @mightyb8614  Oh get off it. Putin is self centered and evil, no justification what so ever. The West is only guilty of purchasing Russian fossil fuels and not helping Ukraine enough.
    66
  49. We're heading the same way in the USA.
    65
  50. I'm older so they wouldn't care what I think but I find septum rings highly repulsive.
    64
  51. "Guy"? That's a stretch.
    63
  52. Unfortunately the DA clearly represents a large fraction of the community and THAT's the fundamental problem...not enough of them have been victimized, apparently some need 1st hand experience to get their head out of their ASS.
    61
  53. Vevik R. might be the closest approximation atm. I'll def support Mr. T. but don't expect anywhere near this Javier level of action from T.
    61
  54. Lame clip--had she slipped and fell all the way in it would have been hilarious tho.
    60
  55. About the third time in my life that the news media DIDN'T missuse the word hero.
    59
  56. Covered faces betrays their character. Don't trust anyone with a mask and hoody in public.
    59
  57. High principles that he practices (agree with or not) and balls to take on anyone to those ends. This is what freedom looks like folks, how have we accepted any less??
    58
  58. This goes back to at least the 1970's, every time gas price pops we hear of this particular "crime wave". It's in their go to bucket. We didn't have locking gas caps in the '60's.
    56
  59. Rumor has it that Tesla trucks can even go UP hill and across the flats.
    56
  60.  @AnnieGrace777  It also requires a weak target, takes two. He could have demonstrated some backbone but instead showed he has none.
    56
  61. Nope. Tyrant.
    56
  62. Except for efficiency, off road capability, body durability, road performance and handling, steering, software, suspension, locking bed cover, cameras, locking diffs, ground clearance and adjustability.....and maybe some truck owners care about sound system.
    56
  63. Us shareholders gained 10X due to Elon's heroic miracles and this two-cent judge overturns our vote as casually as a Sunday stroll in the park. Infuriating doesn't begin to describe my thoughts. Skimmed entire 200pg tome, "rational" for judgment made in advance. Tipped her hand in the first sentence referring to his wealth. Then multiple times including "the richest man in the world..." Not that it matters but he wasn't even in top 10 richest when WE the shareholders overwhelmingly voted for his contract.
    56
  64. Unprofessional to say the least. But this woman was apparently so stupid as to threaten the doctors prior to surgery? And then expect a good result?
    55
  65. Doc Possum It's not about the cost of fuel it's the compounding effect of adding ANY additional weight as that requires more weight of fuel which requires more weight of fuel.... The price of fuel is small compared to total launch costs and if you were to add safety devices for every contingency there would be NO payload at all.
    55
  66. The CCP cuts down anyone who becomes too powerful and says something slightly off the party line. Actresses, YouTubers, etc.
    54
  67. Normally such expressions is a guaranteed death sentence, the only thing that might save them is millions of others doing the same.
    54
  68. LA mayor so horrible she almost makes Newsom seem acceptable in comparison.
    52
  69. The oldies naturally croaked yrs ago and the shelter collapsed from apathy and neglect.
    52
  70. They definitely slowed down after that.
    52
  71. "Everything about it looked sketchy." OK, you noticed and choose to do it anyway, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY fool.
    50
  72. Very sad for Turdea, his hero, model of his desired role shuts him down.
    50
  73. Here in Commifornia too.
    50
  74. WEF losing it's influence, good place for her.
    50
  75. Not that unions give a crap about the general welfare and economy but Tesla is the best hope for future German auto manufacturing.
    50
  76. We all must gradually migrate to other platforms, especially X.
    49
  77. More the better including popular vote, it'll make him more powerful. We saw that w Regan, it was taken as a mandate for HIS policies.
    49
  78. Ignoring WHY Mr. T. is winning...it's WE the people, we will find other representatives. Vivek Ramaswamy anyone?...he's the real wrecking ball.
    49
  79. Let's double taxes and get more of this wonderful result. Gov working for YOU.
    48
  80. My 3 siblings and I knew all our childhood that 18 was time to fly the coop, not that we needed any encouragement we were ready to GO. It's the most loving thing parents can do.
    48
  81. Were they not all there to watch street racing?? That's the chance you take.
    47
  82. It was accident in the chaos, easy to see how that'd happen.
    46
  83. Friend was a phsyc prof here in N. Cali, he had to quit a few yrs ago due to constantly clashing with administrators. They wouldn't allow him to tell the truth. Canada has it worse but it's a much bigger problem.
    46
  84. As one with over 4 decades in the welding biz those welds are fine, room for improvement on a couple of them but far better than most you'll see on production cars.
    46
  85. Perspective is always enlightening and lacking from popular media rhetoric.
    46
  86. It's completely unprecedented, Delaware has a long history of corporate law and some 80% of America Corps register there for that reason, big source of revenue for the state. Expect that to change going forward, corps moving out and new ones incorporating elsewhere.
    46
  87. What makes us think we are the pinnacle of anything?
    45
  88.  @JoeLabite  In situations like this, yes it tends to indicate one is on target. If he's wrong they would offer such evidence instead of attacking the messenger.
    45
  89. It's been serious from the get go.
    45
  90. It's advocating terror, death and destruction, that's a lessor violation by far but we got BIG problems.
    45
  91. Most important she is clear, articulate and coherent.
    45
  92. 3:36 is clearly natural for several reasons, most obvious is vertical cracks running thru multiple tiers, U never see that in real megalithic work, it's not strong and resilient.
    45
  93. Maybe it's a bad idea to fire rocket barrages when the other side has significantly bigger tools to use against you? Just tossing out a wild idea here.
    45
  94. Imagine declaring "'Criminal sanctuary city'" and being surprised by the results.
    44
  95.  @karensayer3089  Have you made your tax returns public? Do you expect to be financially wiped out for not doing so?
    44
  96.  @stonew1927  The mike button must be held down so that constant random radio traffic doesn't flood the airwaves when nothing of importance is to be transmitted. Go back to your games.
    44
  97. WTH does Twitter and their Twits have to do with TESLA?? No one was thinking about that, Good GRIEF.
    43
  98. Literally makes Sarah Palin seem brilliant, and we thought she was a cynical choice.
    43
  99. Better take that sort DOWN or things will get worse. Fighting a similar battle in the US but mostly not that bad.
    43
  100. Maybe not so different than what they'd think about modern urbanites needing to be constantly on guard for potentially killer cars?
    43
  101. He was never brilliant, just personable and moderately entertaining.
    43
  102. BS title.
    42
  103. And he was at his very best plus assisted by CNN cutting off the worst of his mental mush.
    42
  104. May sound trivial but I appreciate the 'more honest' round number prices, $4000 instead of 3995.
    42
  105. Here in the USA we've also had such intimidation. and investigations and prosecutions need not lead to anything, the process is the punishment.
    42
  106. WAIT! Gordon doesn't even have a fraction of a star?? :D
    41
  107. "Known oil reserves" besides shale oil which 10X all the rest but are completely neglected other than the US.
    41
  108. Imagine that vacant frozen face look tho, could be spectacular parody.
    40
  109. Exposed fasteners is a luxury to me, far easier to work on.
    40
  110. Imagine how yelling "STOP!" didn't slow a murderer. SURELY he responds to social cues.
    40
  111.  @1310beth  Those out of work in service sector should look to the trades--endless opportunities and shortages there for decades now. Excess regulations are a big problem too.
    40
  112. GM is leading the way on 'sustainable' Li batt bonfires.
    40
  113. Externally yes, but revving up 1.4B Chinese to hate the rest of world is very dangerous.
    39
  114. NOT a Republican but that's sure as hell how I'm voting for the foreseeable future. Red Tsunami. (I hope)
    39
  115. NEVER hold your peace! (please) Pro vacc in general I avoided these, 1st bc of the mindless herd mentality and skeptical default, then out of DUTY when mandates came down. Non compliance becomes an obligation at some point.
    39
  116.  @theia1653  Details/explanation please!
    38
  117. Perhaps if the focused on productivity instead of destruction and handouts they might be worth more than $2/day.
    38
  118. The hot air intake in particular, spend money to reduce performance.
    38
  119. It's a tired old theme but--Imagine where we'd be if investing all this destructive effort in to something CONSTRUCTIVE.
    38
  120. Reality is meaningless to them.
    38
  121. I'm developing my own small organic 'food forest' yard that I can live off of without any external inputs.
    37
  122. Yup. Lifelong non-tribal Centrist here converted to hardcore anti-Leftist in recent yrs.
    37
  123. Let's compare Amazon to Sears again please.
    37
  124. He's been doing so for many yrs.
    37
  125.  @n.w.414  Didn't he say that last time and fail to execute on it?
    37
  126. All the most extreme 'progressive'/Leftists cities and states are suffering. Disconnect policy from reality and this is what we get. (farther N. Commifornian here, rural and more rational, lol)
    37
  127. Meanwhile in Ukraine....a dam is removed overnight.
    37
  128. Bureaucrat is a pejorative NOT billionaire lady.
    37
  129. We have similar scam going on in America, colleges with government back loans pretending it's fine to start life $200k in debt while selling students on curriculums already over supplied, no decent paying jobs available. Requiring universities responsible to back bad loans would go a long way to correcting situation.
    36
  130. Corruption and backwards society and the fact that 0.1% don't necessarily define the 1.4B ppl.
    36
  131. ONLY entertaining thing about this administration is falling down and blatant confusion.
    36
  132. And JD Vance should not be close to T much, different planes, cars, etc., best protection for T is JD somewhere else.
    36
  133.  @gagamba9198  Yes but anecdotally I can't count how many times I've heard of a father sending daughter to college and next time they meet she openly loathes her dad.
    36
  134. Not a Dem nor R, more Libertarian--but I never thought I'd MISS TRUMP this soon. SHEEEEeeesh.
    35
  135. Yeah it's inevitable for some wide spread pain. Frankly many (here in the USA specifically, but everywhere) need to feel some discomfort, those that had it easy while hard working folks like The Truckers made life good for telecommuters to slackers. They could work from home and have takeout delivered, burgers to booze, chill with Netflix...my sympathies for those just now seriously impacted is limited. Would they prefer a nationwide strike, trucker sickout? From the first wk of shutdowns I noticed half the population were suffering while the other half didn't seem to notice or care.
    35
  136. We've been hearing about "the competition is coming" since 2008. Tesla all but certain to maintain and grow their lead. Chinese brands could be serious competition.
    35
  137. Which is patently false. I've been properly laid many times later than that.
    35
  138. MSN*BS* ....get it straight.
    35
  139. Remarkable that these tyrants have become so comfortable in their treachery they say it out loud.
    35
  140. Yeah she had NO BIZ behind the wheel and this apparently wasn't her first time doing similar. All of us have accidentally rolled wrong direction at some point, it should take inches of motion to hit the brake and shift, not 100 meters.
    35
  141. "Out there" yes, visiting HERE is another matter entirely.
    35
  142. It's his normal passionate self, nothing angry about him. Good GRIEF.
    35
  143. Some folks don't charge anywhere but at home for yrs at a time.
    35
  144. Credit to Elon Musk too for getting 10's of thousands of Amish, who'd never voted before, transported to voting centers.
    35
  145. Farley seems to be the only candid, honest legacy auto CEO. Good dude.
    35
  146. AMERICA First instead of Party First, now THAT will be a FIRST !!!
    34
  147. Canada even worse than NYC, shameful. Y'all need a revolution.
    34
  148. Walsh's opening lines def apply to America, Canada...many places.
    34
  149. They don't seem to care. In this instance they just want to punish Elon for being Elon. F'n INFURIATING and situation normal.
    34
  150. Miss-titled. It's not "19% of wealthy investors" it's about % of cash.
    34
  151. When a young woman asked Biden about Elon's influence in Twitter, JB says with a wry smile: "There are many ways to go after him. MANY ways." More recently Hunter Biden said he personally knows every judge in Delaware.
    34
  152. My old man always said it was beer, I agree with both.
    34
  153. Which is the reverse of reality.
    34
  154. "Definitely don't want to be outside now." They chuckle. A few minutes later they WOULD be outside still at hypersonic speeds.
    34
  155. Why would USA be in NATO, why defend one tyranny against another? If UK, EU, any nation, doesn't agree w our core human rights values we shouldn't fight for them.
    34
  156. Never mind Putin endorsed Kamala.
    33
  157. Bitcoin is trivial here. Bottom line kids--Tesla is seriously kicking ASS.
    33
  158. Why all the focus on a trivial celebrity? There's no value to be had in this space, I don't give a flying fig about Meghan or Harry, they don't effect anything.
    33
  159. Insurance companies did what any of us would. Cali capped premiums, it's on Newsom again.
    33
  160. Bring back insane asylums.
    33
  161. Usually all it takes is a mob of fools with not enough to do.
    33
  162.  @johnwang9914  Baloney. You can drink water coming from many modern sewage treatment plants. Sure the plant itself stinks from the input side, nasty. I've worked at one a few days here and there, not a place I want to be. Sure beats entire city like that as any shantytown suffers. Wouldn't swim or fish or anything else in Venice canals, be at risk of hepatitis, all sorts of bad stuff.
    33
  163. It's very concerning, we desperately need competing platforms, this is not new.
    33
  164.  @breecegriffith5896  I believe we are looking at the results of a career built on nothing but BS. He can't change his tune even if he changes his mind.
    32
  165. Why did he still have the mike keyed when his sole focus should have been to fly the darn thing? Nothing more the tower could do.
    32
  166.  @infoskrimp420  "Had it coming" doesn't exactly mean "deserved", it could mean that she should have expected it and could have avoided it simply by not further antagonizing him. To stand there with phone in front of shotgun is also "asking for it", RUN for gaud's sakes.
    32
  167. M. Redleg More than evidence. It should have been expected as you can see it carry on it's same trajectory, even the boosters only got pushed off track apparently completely intact. It wasn't an "explosion" in like a firecracker, it was a fast burn up that took a couple of seconds. Yes it's safe to assume all on board were alive, some of them conscious until impact with the water.
    32
  168. Who knew that becoming a criminal sanctuary city would result in this.
    31
  169. Elon found out Jim Baker was interfering with releases of the Twitter Files weeks after he took over, called him into his office to explain and immediately fired him as explanation didn't hold water. (edit--Elon only just after found out Baker was "ex"FBI)
    31
  170. Thank Gaud some in Ausieland can still criticize the powers that be. Practice it or lose everything.
    31
  171. Last time I went fishing I didn't have to COOK them, already boiled.
    31
  172. Elon's Twitter today::: "Tesla is building a hardcore litigation department where we will directly initiate and execute lawsuits. The team will report directly to me" (he goes on how to apply for the job and demonstrate exceptional prowess, aggressive litigation success, etc.) ((Elon declares war on the reckless slanderers))
    31
  173. Once carried a gril out of my place and put her on the porch, when she tried to force self back in I tossed her out in the yard. (felt terrible about it TBH) But she had just slung a heavy glass beer stein across the kitchen to smash on the window frame and I was busy on the biggest contract of my life, intensely on the phone back and forth....didn't have space in my head for drama let alone destruction of my shack. It was only the 3rd day after princess moved in, she was moving out.
    31
  174. Uniparty and weakness.
    31
  175. I'll offer $35k for what they are asking $75k for.
    31
  176. And they've gotten away with it, blatant stealing of IP, random penalties, persecution and abuse. But when even the short term gains are canceled by the toxicity...money goes where it's treated best. CCP cares about one thing and that's self preservation, ppl be DAMNED.
    30
  177. Lemon was given unearned benefit of the doubt and made ultimate mistake-- he bored Elon.
    30
  178. "That looks like them..." Obese? OK.
    30
  179. Looked perfect to ME. Hat's off to cop!
    30
  180. Never been a Mr. T. fan, but this is the 1st time in 45 yrs of voting the choice is easy. (did I skirt the sensors there? Can't be to cleverly cryptic these days. HA!)
    30
  181. "'To advance rapidly we are going to have to break some things.'"
    30
  182. How about 50% of army soldiers be women and forcing them to be plumbers, welders, electricians, line'men', diesel mechanics.....?
    30
  183. Friend was a passionate phsyc professor in Cali Bay Area--he quit couple yrs ago bc he wasn't allowed to tell the truth, constantly clashing with administrators and knew he'd be canned soon anyway.
    30
  184. Yet it earns them more than growing, say corn, apparently. Not so much a "trap" as an opportunity. Imagine taking it away, what happens to those families dependent on that income.
    30
  185.  @johnwang9914  There was no treatment anywhere a century ago. Get some perspective, you are making up nonsense.
    30
  186. Most of us are slightly guilty for TOO MUCH COMPLIANCE.
    29
  187. The obvious question--What WAS the octane rating?
    29
  188. For humans the hippo is the most deadly animal in Africa.
    29
  189. Turdeau is about the worst leader in the West, even tops my horrible gov Newsom.
    29
  190. While he dodges any responsibility for the blatant reckless propaganda he's been mired in for a decade.
    29
  191. Unfortunately 40 yrs of excessive Left policies have substantially degraded the state. I'm entrenched and can't stand flatlands, love the High Sierra backcountry, climate, natural landscape, otherwise would probably be packing too.

  192. And both sexes are responsible for their place in this world. It's never been easy.
    29
  193. Self defense is always necessary, police will get there after everything goes down.
    28
  194. Definitely stupid.
    28
  195. I seek them out for salads, nice replacement for the likes of endive but for free.
    28
  196. I DON'T, he's too valuable to take that chance.
    28
  197. Integrate and embrace basic human rights or get out. (best approximation--USA Constitution and founding documents)
    28
  198. One form of racism doesn't atone for a prior flavor, it's just more bigotry.
    28
  199. 10 tons of sand for 1 ton of concrete??? How is that possible!? I call BS.
    28
  200. It's to harvest unlimited taxpayer funds. Hope it leads to something but net energy output is not even close to economically viable, likely never will be for Earth.
    28
  201.  @sprinkleddonuts6094  IDK this market well enough, but that's not a lot given new truck prices.
    28
  202. Molly Baker Hard to believe 'they had no clue', rockets were always extremely risky biz and they should have been well aware of that.
    28
  203. 80% of Americans don't know squat about CT.
    28
  204. Entire USSA is a Banana Republic today.
    27
  205. Elon won't likely give credit to this chatter by responding. Einhorn is only taken seriously as an accidental comedian.
    27
  206. He's tarp as a shack.
    27
  207. There never would have been any of this litigation had he not been running for prez.
    27
  208.  @Gomez1915  National Socialist?
    27
  209. "We don't care." That's NOT what Tesla said.
    27
  210. Advocating freedom IS a form of terrorism, it terrifies tyrants everywhere.
    27
  211. She wants to influence the narrative as long as possible. I'm beginning to believe it's an inside job on SOME level. Too many contradictions, too many things don't add up.
    26
  212. What? U don't believe that T "got startled by some popping noises and fell down on stage"? "Was shot at with a bb gun or something."
    26
  213. Elon is not seeking more pay, he's seeking more control, do your darn homework Doomberg.
    26
  214. No they are flat out punishing SpaceX in a way that reduces any possible revenues.
    26
  215. Dan Ives becoming a poster boy for zero rigor and following price action instead of reality.
    26
  216. And for an innocuous protest on J6.
    26
  217. Much of the EU, UK, Ausie, Canada and we may not be far behind in the USA although most Muslims I encounter seem to have integrated. Rapid migration without adopting the culture of host nation is a clear recipe for disaster.
    26
  218. Going after T was her entire campaign platform.
    26
  219.  @yourlord4096  Do you expect to drive over someone in the crosswalk with no consequences? This one was covered up endlessly, contributed USA taxpayers, aided by Fauci, WHO in on it, etc., etc.
    25
  220.  DBR Liamg  Wrong. One of the very few fundamental required restraints on capitalism is disallowing monopolies. There is NOTHING good about communism no matter what you do with it, it's universal poverty and lack of freedom by definition. Money politics is a separate but related serious issue for many decades, highly corrosive ongoing problem.
    25
  221. Get some context ppl--this is vintage Elon, he's said the same thing for 15 or 20 yrs. Tesla has not benefited from government subsidies as the vast majority in the energy space got to fossil fuels, that going to EVs/solar haven't come close to leveling the field. The Model 3 would have been production constrained NOT demand constrained all along. ALL OF THAT is besides the point of where do we go from HERE.
    25
  222. What should we expect from a kid who spends good money to reduce performance with a hot air intake.
    25
  223.  @thetavibes9021  Do U drive blacked out drunk? Carjacking means sticking a gun in someone's face to steal their car, how would U not know it?
    25
  224. She wouldn't dare expose herself for 2 minutes let alone 2hrs.
    25
  225. New rule--if POTUS can't get up on his own he's fired.
    25
  226. Freeing the Bird may well have saved the nation, and by extension, the Western World.
    25
  227. Pro vacc in general I thought I'd get it but was skeptical too especially with the deluge of propaganda, etc. THEN the mandates came down which triggered MY MANDATE of non compliance.
    25
  228. Let's write our congressmen to fight the bailouts when they come.
    25
  229. Best employee is no employee.
    25
  230. Starting with vigorous exercise out in the sun, a jog, run, swim, bicycle.... Drugs should be last resort.
    25
  231.  @AspireGMD  If we lived in the water like whales we couldn't make fire, if we had fins instead of hands we couldn't make tools. Either of those and we'd be just another animal but that doesn't make us smarter, happier, more moral or longer lasting.
    24
  232. Time for me to start going to clubs I'm thinking, 9 to 1, hmmmm.
    24
  233. Very likely he can vastly improve the free Bird via replacing the thousands of slackers w a couple hundred dedicated workers
    24
  234. Gotta love Joe's increasingly open disgust with Johnson.
    24
  235. Ending the futile, insane prohibition on prostitution would be a relatively easy step in the right direction too. The law should be protecting them not punishing them. Unfortunately toxic religions and indoctrination prevents such acceptance.
    24
  236. Gordon is not only the CEO of GLJ Research but also the secretary, janitor, he's the entire firm. (("We" my ass))
    24
  237. Imagine that imprisoning random large swaths of the productive Chinese population for no reason has economic consequences. Never would have expected it.
    24
  238. Profit margins from those other companies?? Tesla is looking at 40% in the near future whereas it's questionable legacies can make money on EVs at all.
    24
  239. They'll use such hysteria to justify doing all the horrific things to us that they claim Mr. T. is going to do.
    24
  240. It's really all I need to know about him.
    24
  241. Too bad you not only missed out but will continue to miss out. Everyone has their own timeframe, maybe you'll get it by 2025 at $5T, say.
    24
  242. AMAZING--Biden didn't fall down the stairs this time.
    24
  243. Why? This is what the ppl voted for, they obviously need the education, let it play out.
    24
  244. Buearacrucies follow rules not logic or the public good.
    24
  245. Tangled chutes still have significant drag, likely they fell well short of terminal V of a free falling person. Interesting story.
    24
  246. If you only sample one FSD channel it should probably be AI Driver.
    24
  247. Gotta believe the shutdown has more to do with the protests than the triggering event itself.
    24
  248.  @johnwang9914  If U don't understand diff between raw sewage and properly treated....sorry I can't help U. Good Luck Good Life!
    24
  249. We'd love to but that's apparently not how it works. Elon got "outrageous" comp package for outrageous performance milestones and us investors made outrageous 10X gains from Elon's hell for leather, never quit work ethics and brilliance.
    23
  250. @Big Moe Cost of living has NOTHING to do with it, every one of these homeless chooses intoxicants over all else.
    23
  251.  @marshamarshamarsha4567  Yeah freedom has never been free nor perfect but it's a lot better now in America than it was say 50 yr.s ago on average--ask a minority or alternative sexual orientation person about that. Always plenty of room for improvement naturally.
    23
  252. Kids are thinking: "This is as fun as pulling weeds."
    23
  253. Elon does participate in intimate engineering details all the time. Obviously he's not doing the grunt engineering work but he's essential to making hard choices that sometimes his teams may be highly skeptical of, usually he's right, otherwise he corrects immediately upon realizing it. Has a visceral rejection of the "sunk cost fallacy".
    23
  254. "I don't trust poor ppl." Using class as a pejorative is just as mindless as the worst forms of racism. GROW UP.
    23
  255. This is good--it hastens the demise, the obsolescence, bankruptcy (yes they've long been morally bankrupt) of fake news MNM.
    23
  256. Sleazy
    23
  257. Back in the around the 1960's rivers in the USA would sometimes catch on fire due to industrial waste, Los Angeles had a permanent brown dome overhead, it stunk and burned your eyes. The people (particularly the youth) protested and the clean water act, EPA and other environmental initiatives were created and things have improved dramatically since.
    23
  258. Same here, and irrational fear of bacteria, which we can live without, has done major damage.
    23
  259.  @TheQuixoticRambler  Did you listen to her? Yeah it's ALL about government overreach (socialism) 1st, including the corruption inherent in it, and a victim mentality 2nd.
    23
  260. Pointless common error. NOT to diss cops in cases lk this, damned tough job.
    23
  261. Tell the press it's safe from 50 ft, they can absorb worst of low flying flack.
    23
  262. Praise God for causing the plane to crash!
    23
  263. Dad died of Parkinson's and it's NOT Biden's primary problem, he shows signs of that too but my dad could carry on highly intelligent conversations even when his head was going in circles from lack of motor control. However--the drugs used to control it did cause some cognitive challenges, nothing like we see in Biden tho.
    22
  264. FBI along with some other agencies, DHS in particular, should be abolished. Clearly more harm than good and it's been corrupt from day one to present.
    22
  265. She's clearly Communist, not socialist.
    22
  266. Same. Thought I'd get one but was skeptical so waited, then they were mandated which meant noncompliance was mandatory for ME.
    22
  267. No valet will ever drive my BMW, sorry, ride along to the parking spot but YOU don't drive it.
    22
  268.  @hoedemakerbart  You can always pay one quarter of 70s prices with 1st class if your too snobbish for cheap seats.
    22
  269. I'd abolish entire DHS for this. What have they done to prevent terrorism in 20 yrs as much as THIS IS TERRORISM.
    22
  270.  @rahorin  Inefficient operation there. Elon doesn't tolerate sloth and neither should we.
    22
  271. They managed to design a batt pack as complex an a typical ICE engine.
    22
  272. I agree but their argument, as best I understand: Batts are too heavy for long range trucks and they pretend(ed) they can create H on cheap hours grid electricity--mostly another Milton fantasy. Also the 'charging' speed. NKLA should be a penny stock regardless, falls flat economically with no path to viability. H stations will be extremely expensive with many required.
    22
  273. Boeing has cultural and management problems. (the recent door plug ejection wasn't a design problem but a maintenance quality problem, missing bolts)
    22
  274. Obsolescence of Establishment Media Mafia the best thing that could happen in America today.
    22
  275. I've never been in either tribe, still not, but have become hardcore anti-Leftist (they are Authoritarian, I lean Libertarian) which will mean voting R foreseeably.
    22
  276. Highly recommend every American tune into this particular Rogan show, last 2hrs in particular, very enlightening.
    22
  277. Let'em FAIL as they've been begging for. GOOD RIDDANCE.
    22
  278. It wasn't "ppl ripping out copper wire and plumbing" it was cranksters.
    22
  279. They are history, T and B are currently relevant, why are they both so impotent on this?
    22
  280. Doesn't take significant resources to burn things, any bum with a match and no purpose in life.
    22
  281. Big Media will correct that, they can pay random hooligan, angry and desperate from Covid hype disaster, say $5 and a cigarette lighter.
    21
  282. Pathetic. Justice?? What a farce. Obviously the problem is scooters not coddling thugs.
    21
  283. Tesla Model Y was the best selling car on Earth of ANY drive train type in 2023, it will be again this yr. Political BS aside, BEVs are the very near future. Ppl don't want legacy auto BEVs and for good reason.
    21
  284. I had thought it was more like 70 to 80% in favor of DOGE. Regardless I think it will be more popular a yr from now when we see no real drawbacks and serious cuts in the deficit.
    21
  285. Sure it could, and most of it would add to his case.
    21
  286. Be skeptical of everyone including Stossel. Think for yourself as difficult as it is.
    21
  287.  @TravelinRosy2025  My line was crossed when they started mandating injections--always been pro vacc in general but skeptical of these recent rushed one's given all the hysteria and propaganda. My innate mandate to resist was then activated. "My bod MY CHOICE you morons" Never got a stab. Much easier for me then many tho as self employed.
    21
  288. How many favor FJB?
    21
  289. It's always stupid and extremely childish to blame the ppl for their leaders actions.
    21
  290.  @jasonbaylor9865  You are dupe. NO ONE is required to work and you can shut in for the rest of your damn life, don't impose your ignorant standards on the rest of us.
    21
  291. I hope there is a sustained rage against the machine--the ultimate monopoly, aka., government overreach.
    21
  292. It's Comrade Kamala.
    21
  293.  @ThunderAppeal  Good GRIEF dude, sounds like personal issues or maybe just a bad day?
    21
  294. "The buck stops here" but he takes zero responsibility in other news.
    21
  295. I delayed, see how it played out for a while, thought I'd get one but then the mandates came down, that triggered my own mandate of noncompliance.
    21
  296.  @joelbellJB  Disagree--I hear of a home invasion in a well off neighborhood in OroGone, dude was prepped and armed but in the sauna and vulnerable at that moment, and I think--"That could be any of us. I need to think about it."
    21
  297.  @DM-dk7js  Effective? Seems everyone got sick vacced or not.
    21
  298. Never been a Conservative nor Dem but became simply anti-Leftist in recent yrs.
    21
  299. I don't interact with anyone still wearing a mask, don't trust'em don't like them.
    21
  300. 36 units delivered or CGI models presented?
    21
  301.  @ThinhLe-xt1ky  How many tons of salt do you want with your steak dinner?
    21
  302. That's expected in any totalitarian state, not expected in the US....not until recently at least.
    21
  303.  @petersmangalisongoma2013  If his corrections are correct, he's doing us a service. Seems to know what he's talking about, even your heroes need accountability.
    21
  304. These tyrannical evil bureaucrats infuriate me.
    21
  305. Only thugs, phonies or fools voluntarily wear them.
    20
  306. OH they've done PLENTY, most of it destructive.
    20
  307. It's identical to any religion, difficult to use logic on that which is not based on it, but Rogan does a great job.
    20
  308. IDK about y'all but I've gone from non-tribal, lifelong Centrist to simply hardcore anti-Leftist in recent yrs.
    20
  309. She was a doctor but not in the USA she isn't.
    20
  310.  @BenHeckHacks  NOT even in my Commifornia, that's a cut and dried situation and you don't get tossed into a max security prison with your wounds left to fester like this man did.
    20
  311. What was "SO toxic" anyway? I've never had slightest problem with his humor, hypersensitivity is mental frailty, the offended should be embarrassed for their fragility.
    20
  312. If it's "settled" then no more funding required.
    20
  313. Spectacular. Reality beyond fiction's wildest imagination.
    20
  314. Watch how the Left get's caught cold, flabbergasted when election results roll in in the coming yrs.
    20
  315. Imagine being a Pol who's ratings fall every time U show up for anything.
    20
  316. YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter and most of establishment media all onboard with this, at least Twitter is about to be fixed and it punches above it's weight via quoted everywhere else.
    20
  317. Lifelong "Centrist" here--last couple yrs turned me into hard core anti-Leftist , not an R either but I'll go with the best alternatives available.
    20
  318. Turdeau is one of the worst tyrants in the West today. Love my neighbors to the North and their country, but good Gaud get rid of that plague.
    20
  319.  @hummerguy  No excuse for this, it takes inches to realize and react to such an error.
    20
  320. This is exactly the result I expected.
    20
  321. Forward PE is more like 25 or 30. Tesla investors have been thru this same FUD storm for over a decade.
    20
  322. Things like waiting in lines for hrs is insane, there's zero productivity possible for those hrs. You can't consume more than you produce. As a shopkeeper I'd think there'd be a better way, have everyone schedule a specific time slot say.
    20
  323. Hard to say some here don't want to destroy us from within.
    20
  324. No but it's loyal to Trump as he sold out to Russia from day one.
    20
  325. Anyone this persecuted by the establishment is required viewing.
    20
  326. "Sir we wanna help you!" then another BLAM. Seems one leg was disconnected by then.
    20
  327. She was in panic attack territory at end of clip.
    20
  328. Our memories are short.
    20
  329. As farther N. Commifornian, I keep expecting peak stupidity and being wrong. Signs of a shift tho, pendulum swings, we spawned Regan and The Terminator, for example.
    20
  330.  @edmunddantes7097  Same reason you clicked on this.
    20
  331. Bob Iger spoke on that same forum, same day as Elon's famous GFY mini rant. The contrast between the two is amazing, Bob was up there, squirming, making lame excuses for everything falling apart at Disney, it's painful to watch.
    20
  332. A few tried over the yrs but were thwarted.
    20
  333.  @Flash-Strike  Sarcasm surely. I have a friend who's been there 32 times. :D
    20
  334. Same here. No reason to rant however, if you need/want a truck, just buy an old one. I have nice cars two and NEVER bought new or made payments.
    20
  335.  @damian246  He wasn't expecting to die obviously you moron.
    20
  336. If not mistaken--this plus Elon's new "streetfighter" legal team means the end of the fraudulent tabloid Business Insider Trading.
    20
  337. I hope he put the rocks back lichen side up, he shouldn't be disturbing the terrain like that.
    20
  338.  @johnwang9914  Anytime before last century, waterways, mostly rivers, were both sewers and drinking water supply.
    20
  339. Beginning of the end was many yrs ago when they caved to Islam via anti-blasphemy laws. (the Vatican also didn't have a problem with such treachery)
    20
  340. Adds to the tourist attraction of Titanic. Another relic on ocean floor to gawk at.
    19
  341. Hardly the 1st time.
    19
  342. Vietnam maybe?
    19
  343. He's been doing the same things for over 20 yrs, only bigger now, why did you 'never care for him'?
    19
  344. It was obviously a half assed operation, minimal sympathies for those who ignored litany of red flags.
    19
  345. Clearly many fools need to learn the concept of consequences.
    19
  346. Tragic only if the tigers get killed for it or suffer indigestion. That sort of stupid recklessness would likely kill an innocent person down the road one day, the ladies that got wacked were NOT innocent.
    19
  347. Brain too. Not much said here about impact which I believe is extra stimulating for bone strength.
    19
  348. Let's pay ppl to stay home and watch Netflix then be surprised that many take it.
    19
  349. I bet Johnson has some demand problems, trouble retaining or acquiring clients based on his abysmal performance history.
    19
  350.  @lace1245  General awareness easily trumps monetary power. Ultimately it's up to us.
    19
  351.  @terjeoseberg990  This is exactly why we have a Constitution, NOT to protect the majority but to protect minorities. Mob rule is hell on Earth. What if we the majority decides you need to be sterilized for the greater good? OK with that?
    19
  352. It was talked to DEATH over a decade ago. Why were the millions of irresponsible house flippers and home owners with mortgages they couldn't afford, the other side of that equation, never get much attention?
    19
  353.  @KimetsuNoYaiba100  Only been moderately negative growth for nearly a decade, lol.
    19
  354. She has NO IDEA about Elon's management of employees. Tesla is doing fantastic and Twitter is dramatically improved with a fraction of the overhead in only one month.
    19
  355. Food insecurity will begin to put things in perspective for those comfortably on the sidelines today.
    19
  356. The battle box, this turd never fails to entertain.
    19
  357. They show up for snacks and free shit.
    19
  358. It's always something , for ME early 2020 was much more scary, not the virus but our response to it. I didn't adjust much for '20 and I'm not changing anything now and I'm doing fine.
    19
  359. And to get government boot off ppls necks, the forced impediments she explains are insane.
    19
  360. Praising everything also destroys credibility. That they hammered the 1st M3 version is why praise for improvements really matters.
    19
  361. IDK enough about RFK but Elon and T will get along just fine. Both are fixated on the massive project ahead and in agreement of fundamental goals, the friction will come from the rest of DC.
    19
  362. CNN is even worse, why would anyone tune into them?
    19
  363. For decades now we've over estimated the effectiveness of our adversaries--think Military Industrial Complex has something to do with it?
    19
  364.  @daved7808  It's not seen as a crucial factor in voters decision process and apparently isn't. "It's the economy stupid", the border, DC alphabet soup, etc., of most current concern.
    19
  365.  @edmunddantes7097  "Fatal crash"....what the hell do you expect? A picnic in a meadow maybe?
    19
  366. Strictly speaking there is no "reclaiming Taiwan" as it was never controlled by the CCP, it's just as legit to suggest Taiwan "reclaim" the mainland.
    19
  367. Creative destruction is NOT sad, no one even misses Sears which was a rural America necessity when I was a child, Amazon and other online retailers are 1M X better. The UAW and all the toxic culture surrounding it will also be taken down or eliminated, this is very healthy.
    19
  368. Reckless to partially submerge any vehicle not fully quipped for it, water will seep into drivetrain bearings, ball joints, electrical connections and maybe batt pack even, never mind interior getting soaked. CT apparently has batt pack protected IF pre-pressurized.
    19
  369. G search is also corrupt as hell.
    19
  370.  @Tankeryanker339  I have hard time with the sympathy seeking, 1st get busy, no time for self pity. My folks were prepared to help us with college as long as we went straight from high school and did "well" in academics. Wasn't harsh, we could spend summers at 'home' while working and saving for college. Dad wouldn't put up with sitting around leaching off them for a day, never a problem we were all motivated. They only paid about $3k toward my education beyond taking care of me for 3 summers of long hard hr of work. Ton of double shifts and OT. No debt paid my own way.
    19
  371. Bc he was/is calling the shots from the basement.
    19
  372.  @ric3hfishman565  Anytime someone is testifying before congress or otherwise influencing policy they are everyone's business.
    18
  373.  @ionutsaizu750  RELAX...it's only collapsing for "the other half". :D
    18
  374.  @AspireGMD  How do you know whales don't do nonlinear partial differential equations in their sleep? Or don't have vastly superior more sophisticated language?
    18
  375.  @sleepingintherain4967  He say's on YouTube. :D Twitter is soon to be liberated and will become the best example of the right way to do social media.
    18
  376. Google fleeing the Progressive paradise they helped create. Brilliant.
    18
  377. All three launches were highly successful as each led to big improvements and none nuked "stage zero".
    18
  378. Also boycott, as much as possible, pretty much ALL popular media. I have been, CNN and MSNBC, aka., MSNBS at top of list.
    18
  379. In part a poor choice of curriculums to pursue. Engineering for example, nothing to do with pointless memorization, all about understanding concepts and developing analytical skills. All for doing that on one's own if they are capable, I don't think I'd realistically have learned higher math and physics without deadlines and external applied stress.

  380. Never saw this coming. No place more deserving than NYC.
    18
  381. And Wall St. continues to underestimate Tesla in every crucial metric.
    18
  382. Hear stories of a daughter coming home from 1st college semester and turning on their fathers just like this, bigoted group think racist sexist HATRED. Much damage will be done before she out grows and regrets it.
    18
  383. Doesn't matter if I loath Mr. T., I'm absolutely obligated to support him after all this insidious Establishment treachery.
    18
  384.  @mozartbabe  They relate to mental weakness, it validates them.
    18
  385. Lifelong 'Centrist' I've become simply hardcore anti-Leftist
    18
  386. Taking the "51st State" thing seriously is as hilarious as it gets. 😂 Canadian's are pissed at the thought of Trudeau as governor of the State of Canada.
    18
  387. Thanks and respect. Personally battled religion over much of my life too.
    18
  388. Bring on more CO2! Makes my organic food gardens THRIVE.
    18
  389. Only Wall St. would be so clueless as to ask about demand on a Tesla conference call.
    18
  390. Apparently the Amazon workers know better than you do. Unions only benefit worthless "workers". Great news, unions corrode the work environment.
    18
  391. You really think Elon has any use for slackers like that? He's not competing with F and Government Motors deadwood.
    18
  392. DEI is racism by definition.
    18
  393. And YET half the population still thinks more government is good.
    18
  394. I wasn't raised on TV, nor other popular culture so much, never learned all this noise to unlearn. lol
    18
  395. ADMIRE this girl for honesty and candor. (1st one) Major props for her male impersonation project. She'll grow along w others this way.
    18
  396.  @iainnorquay5371  Heat only cares about going from hotter to cooler, it goes in any direction equally unless material properties are different in one direction vs another. Gravity means nothing to heat, the confusion comes from fluids we experience every day, particularly air, where warmer air is less dense therefore wants to float on top of cooler air. (it's not the heat that wants to go up it's the lighter weight air but the heat makes it lighter) Same thing with a pot of water on the stove as it's heated from the bottom you can often see the "convection currents", columns of rising hot water rising cooling slightly at top to circulate back lower, stirring the pot for you.
    18
  397. He tossed it in front of himself maybe hoping to retrieve on the other side of wall.
    18
  398. The power of confining oneself to one extremist bubble never fails to astound.
    18
  399. Not just here but in every single job ever created. This is the obvious result of moronic "identity" over proficiency and performance. We will soon see disasters in the airline industry as well.
    18
  400.  @breebree08  It's racist to expect them to walk an extra mile to commit their daily crimes.
    18
  401. They don't have to struggle to support themselves and have no purpose in life. THAT's the problem. Product of welfare state, their easy life comes from the likes of those working at Tesla, producers. They are resentful of that fact. Enabling sloth and self destructive behavior earns disrespect.
    18
  402. Can't fathom any English speaker having trouble understanding Sam, he has less accent than between regions of USA, or between UK and US.
    18
  403. Trivial prediction: She has totally emasculated Harry and thereby lost all respect for him, "love" isn't even possible and intimacy can only be a chore. She will stray for a REAL MAN.
    18
  404. You did it Marry, you drove GM into a concrete wall.
    18
  405. He didn't walk away--That's what pilots call "Not a good landing."
    17
  406. 3rd world Banana Republic stuff.
    17
  407. "'Entire system is set up to minimize payment complaints.'" Elon getting to the heart of the problem. Easier to just pay a bill than challenge it when it's not your money.
    17
  408. Yeah never liked that Elon would make an exception of him but he lost his first born infant son, not an excuse but a permanent traumatic experience. Regardless whether AJ is terrible or great, it's a violation of Elon's own standards.
    17
  409. Elon takes on a ton of hard, even 'disrespectful' questions. Don bored Elon and that's a fail.
    17
  410.  @roseandra1  It's the entire reason so many want "a bad boy", meaning one who won't put up with shite nor put her on a pedestal. Can't blame them in our emasculated soyboy society.
    17
  411. The people are not worthy of this much intelligence and rationality.
    17
  412.  @77Avadon77  Elon has next to nothing to do with it, your aggressive ignorance will cost you.
    17
  413.  @coolcat6303  You are fine with routine distortion, agenda over truth and blatant manipulation of the masses? What a TOOL.
    17
  414. She would be if not shallow and evil. Most guys here would take her for a spin if they didn't know anything about her.
    17
  415. Hard to imagine they need help spreading rapidly. I keep an eye out for them in my yard (don't use any stupid pesticides nor promote a grasshole in anyway) and pick leaves for salads. Lawns are mostly a boring waste of space.
    17
  416. Elon's 'forced' selling of TSLA had a lot to do with ridiculous $100 price late last yr, that's over now.
    17
  417. Not about to collapse but it's highly questionable that it will ever supersede the USA economically, as has been the popular expectation for many yrs.
    17
  418. Barely suffered thru 2 minutes compilation of Creepy Joe's interactions with young girls...seriously disgusting hard to watch.
    17
  419. Being rational, reasonable and real is now "far Right Extremism".
    17
  420.  @Prognosis__  And they all worshipped at his feet 12 plus yrs ago.
    17
  421. Face meme for the decade. 4:30
    17
  422. He's been consistent on vilifying half the nation all along.
    17
  423. Punishing thoughts and vile expressions has never been productive, never worked, only further isolates and radicalizes them. The solution is to spotlight, amplify, challenge and properly stigmatize them as Megan said. US Supreme Court rightly determined there is no definition for "hate speech" possible, the Establishment can label anything offensive to THEIR narrow view as hateful and censored all the rest of us via that excuse, and have in recent yrs. Hate must be exposed not swept under the carpet.
    17
  424. Not about to happen. It's up to us the people.
    17
  425. Few days ago I'd have scoffed at that--NOW I have to agree. Too many coincidences, contradictions and nonsense.
    17
  426.  @Joskemom  Why did he still have the mike keyed? Could be part of the problem, "aviate navigate and communicate", shouldn't be talking when 100% bandwidth required to FLY, nothing the tower can do to help that they didn't already do.
    17
  427. Only one in sight in a T-shirt. :D
    17
  428. THIS is why you DO NOT disarm, declaw your cats. Teach them where to scratch and where not to, not that hard.
    17
  429. As a farmer--"Compost your enemies." Wouldn't bother me if the criminal population was reduced "organically".
    17
  430. Any guy less than 5%er, on a dating app, is shooting for a 2 or 3 or just stupid. And almost none are looking for love. Yup I've porked some fatties and sloots, dozens from online but quit that nonsense. Live a real life, first face to face impressions mean 1000X more than any profile.
    17
  431. It was the mandates that saved me from the injections, or at least I was considering a jab until mandates triggered my personal mandate of noncompliance.
    17
  432.  @lawrencehalpin6611  Mining and processing the minerals happens once, all the metals will be endlessly recycled, batts are very high grade "ore". Yes there is some 'reprocessing' obviously, but much less than 1st time from the ground. True it requires significantly more energy to make a BEV from raw materials the first time, that is made up for in first 30k miles give or take, via 3X better efficiency.
    17
  433.  @musingsbymarco5001  I'd believe they were serious if that "factory" was built on top of a hill.
    17
  434.  @trismaccarran9950  Something we all have to guard against. Politically it's easier for me than most, never been tribal, never aligned with ANY political party. (lean Libertarian but don't agree with them on everything either) Was a time the Right seemed the bigger threat to liberty, the Constitution and basic human rights, today it's clearly the Left. How about you?
    17
  435. For the saner rest of us, let's embrace anyone making the "transition" to our side, offer them a friendly home of sorts.
    17
  436.  @wasdwasdedsf  His voice would have been canceled by now by the old Twitter, they even canceled Trump while he was a sitting president. Turning Twitter into X secured his voice and everyone else's.
    17
  437. In this situation T is Elon's boss, and that's OK, they'll be totally fixated on the goals they both passionately align on and fighting the entire Establishment, not eachother.
    17
  438. And I'm happy to see it as this level of idiocy can't possibly be politically sustainable.
    17
  439.  @unleavenedkaraiteplus3412  Absolutely the entire story, it's pointless to report it. Best that corporate simply shutters locations with this sort of tolerance for crime.
    17
  440. We don't call this Commifornia for nothing.
    17
  441. Climate alarmist sure don't.
    17
  442. Dodge is throw away rubbish anyway.
    17
  443. By "sadistic" you meant justice.
    17
  444. It's their entire purpose for being.
    17
  445. Limestone and granite are used today for "electrical conductivity"? Really! And with that sort of nonsense in the first minute--I'm done with this vid.
    17
  446. No single data point indicates such. This is an indicator of gross consumer reckless irresponsibility.
    17
  447. Ausies always appreciate a proper barby.
    17
  448.  @yellowballoon4143  Known for being low quality by those living in the past. Update yourself, tune into Munro Live for example.
    17
  449. I held off due to blatant herd mentality, extreme hyped fear mongering from popular media and general skepticism. Unvacced and never had as much as a cold in yrs.
    17
  450. NYC so asked for this, just like Bay Area here in Commifornia.
    16
  451. Indeed 2018 was the inflection point for me, when I decided to stop trading TSLA and back up the truck in 2019 for a serious investment.
    16
  452. Silver lining: this selected for the most naïve and compliant, hopefully they will become some of the most skeptical. I'm generally a big advocate of vaccines but I avoided these, just seemed too rushed and dubious, most of all reflexively avoid the herd...when they start mandating it it becomes obligatory to resist.
    16
  453. They think controlling the land is everything but they'll learn via resulting starvation. I don't want my tax $ going to save them 2 yrs from now.
    16
  454. THEY is right, all of the cops present should be charged.
    16
  455.  @golwenlothlindel  Why would you get rid of them? Manipulated by advertising for toxic boring monoculture lawns?
    16
  456. Real Nazi imaginary Nazi, what's the diff? 😄
    16
  457. And her "carbon footprint" from all that jets-setting is equal to ten average ppl on Earth.
    16
  458. Never heard of him, now I know why.
    16
  459. Professional propagandists, nothing to be proud of.
    16
  460. Nobel Prize for predicting end of Artic sea ice by a decade ago, 2 decades later ice is as much as it was then.
    16
  461. Admin but Joe has NO idea what's going on, what he's signed or what's said in his name. He was recently asked why he terminated LNG shipments to EU and didn't even know he'd signed off on it.
    16
  462. Encouraging to think that our "safety obsessed culture" allows this sort of thing. I couldn't do it even in my youth when I rode hard daily, never did anything remotely like this. I understand and appreciate those who choose to and are good enough to pull it off. Free people should have the right to risk their OWN life. I loath the Nanny State mentality, I used seat belts and helmets long before they were mandatory but I don't like to be told I have to.
    16
  463. Nothing will ever better instantaneous justice. Punk crying like a baby was priceless.
    16
  464. Beyond sad it's corrupt.
    16
  465. Easy way to shed some deadwood. Imagine one would be required to go to work in order to earn high salaries and great stock options. (email was specifically for executives BTW)
    16
  466. In every and all circumstances YOU are your only defense, no one is coming to save you, not in time.
    16
  467. Those crawling probably didn't make it far. Sad for all involved inc. naïve young Russians and their families.
    16
  468. Certainly could say that about my Commifornia, and many are moving, but like the nation as a whole, the pendulum has began swinging Right. Cali differential between Dem and R was cut in half between this election and prior. Newsom doubling down on his insanity but I don't think he has much of a chance to be president which is his goal, good chance he won't make governor again.
    16
  469.  @TheIraniandream  And it paid handsomely for those who've tuned in since he started posting around 2012. His own "one hit" made him tens of millions and many of the rest of us 'everyday millionaires'.
    16
  470. Perps attitude adjustment was effectively quick.
    16
  471. Similar worked last time but it's getting old and tired.
    16
  472. How do they not realize that ignoring aptitude, destroying Meritocracy for your "team", will destroy your own business?
    16
  473. IDK but in SF for example--ppl quit reporting car burglaries, shoplifting, assault and more because they aren't prosecuted, theirs no point in it and cops rightly don't bother with the catch and release policies. Murder is the only stat that is accurate, most of those are counted.
    16
  474. Well said. We cannot afford to let this slide, real PUNISHMENT must be had for the thug cops to the Authoritarian Pols.
    16
  475. IDK Oz but this is a no brainer, pardon the PUN!!
    16
  476. Never been a Mr. T. fan and he failed to drain the swamp but sure revealed it's breadth, depth and insidious anti-American behavior.
    16
  477. Imagine attaching significance to the circle in the parking area which is obviously a vehicle donut accompanied by other sliding/spinout signatures.
    16
  478.  @PessimiStick  I would start with a darn button ON the glove box, regular mirror controls and probably proper climate knobs. I want things I can FEEL while driving so I don't have to take eyes off the road to make adjustments.
    16
  479. Bring it ON...as a farther NorCali Lifer...we don't suffer a problem of too much snow in the Sierras but too little as a general rule. We could use 4X more. Crossing Sierras mid winter has always required attention to weather, preparation and/or cancel trip, go around.
    16
  480. New battery chemistries adequate for most vehicles (not all) and stationary storage, the bulk of expected use cases this decade, DO NOT require Ni, cobalt or even manganese. Lithium Iron Phosphate batts are currently (pun) the longest lasting, safest and cheapest in mass production, the downside is some 30% lower energy density, still good enough for cars and improving.
    16
  481. Better than nothing beta--it will get a lot better.
    16
  482. Why does it matter? Bill isn't doing much of anything.
    16
  483. It's in their job description, evident intelligence grounds for firing.
    16
  484. Profits are not a key metric (often irrelevant) for a growth company. Look how long it took Amazon to post a profit, only relatively recently.
    16
  485. Who got one that cheap in a decade?
    16
  486. Big like and respect for Japan, I remember when they disrupted our Detroit junk options with reliability, value, endurance and utility early 1980's. But times change. Detroit desperately needed the competition in the day, they even admitted it later. Adapt or die. NOW it's Chinese brands and Tesla. (still love me olde BMWS tho, hahaha)
    16
  487. Trivial but: Sparks or Reno Nevada not Vegas. 😊
    16
  488. Never was about an ad campaign, but instead value and reliability/longevity.
    16
  489. Elon's interest is 100% about free speech, he doesn't need the extra headache nor the chump change he MIGHT gain from it.
    15
  490. He deserves it by definition of a deal fulfilled on HIS END! It was widely expected he'd get zero compensation due to how high the bar was in 2018, no other CEO would have taken that offer.
    15
  491. Zero sympathies for anyone who came to watch or participate in exactly THIS. Major sympathies for anyone caught up in it by happenstance.
    15
  492. THAT was easy. 😂
    15
  493. writerconsidered He's not ignoring anything he's comparing to the past, it's called perspective. Do you have any idea what a REAL WAR is like. During Vietnam it was an endless stream of nightly news of horrific bloody battles and an endless parade of body bags unloading from cargo planes, some 55,000 total US service men and 20 times as many on the other side for that Christian inspired atrocity. How many have we lost in recent yr.s in these so called 'wars'? Back then city smog burned the eyes, stunk and gagged, it was lethal. US rivers were so polluted they would catch on fire. Our cities were burning down from race riots and the war over the war in Vietnam, the nation was coming apart at the seams and domestic terrorism was constant. The homicide rate was double or triple. No question we should be focused on our still significant problems but recent history is a useful reflection.
    15
  494. Gordon knows he's not a clown, he's THE Clown , props to him for not taking self seriously....no one else does. Baaahahaha
    15
  495. Eureka Sand Dunes in Cali make these noises all the time, it constantly makes me think there are WW2 military aircraft in the far distance, to the point I'm actually compelled to look for such aircraft sometimes.
    15
  496.  @nez9751  Those offended should be embarrassed for their shameful mental fragility, no one should need to accommodate their weaknesses no matter how much they celebrate their frailties. Don't like Clarkson? GOOD--don't tune in.
    15
  497. Elon Musk recently quipped that whoever is responsible for creating conspiracy theories needs come up with new ones as most of the old one's have been proven true.
    15
  498. Thank Elon for X, it's already having some positive effect on YT. (things banned 6 months ago and reposted recently passed!)
    15
  499. Oh my F'n GAUD...this is the figurehead of my once great nation. All one can do is LOL.
    15
  500. Canadian's are pissed at the thought of Trudeau as governor of the State of Canada.
    15
  501. No joke--LOCK'em UP! It will only happen if the masses raise holly hell and if not this will only get worse.
    15
  502. Meanwhile here in farther N. Commifornia--I get an add for Prop 33, rent control to solve the homeless problem. SURE, more of the same will fix it fir sure
    15
  503. Same back at you. Yeah it's so shameful one can only joke about it.
    15
  504. This is the most entertainment they have provide in 40yrs combined.
    15
  505. China tainted by THIS? This is trivial compared to what they've been getting away with.
    15
  506. Working hard has never been enough, being highly productive works just as it always has but it's even easier today. If you don't like what's being offered to you--create your own job, no one owes you anything, not happiness not prosperity, but you can create those on your own. Top 10% pay 70% of income taxes collected.
    15
  507. Not so. You clicked on it and so did I. It's fun watching him squirm and become increasingly shrill and hysterical.
    15
  508. Because regulations have made some properties a very bad risk. Solution here in Commifornia: MORE of same sort of regulations imposed.
    15
  509. Most of the lunatics will Tweet that they are leaving but actually they are too addicted to the attention and validation to quit. SO funny they had a "Twitter wake" ON TWITTER.
    15
  510. You will. Being an electrician doesn't indicate U know anything about BEVs. By end of decade very few use cases will make an ICE a rational choice over BEV.
    15
  511. How so? Nice to see Sandy checking it out but I see nothing here to convince me of a business case for H trucks. NKLA should be a penny stock and will be eventually.
    15
  512. Cool to hear they've advanced that much. It's something I could put on the shelf just to enjoy looking at like a sculpture.
    15
  513. 2 bits worth of stolen VW turned to scrap--sad for the car owner.
    15
  514.  @paleowhite8027  Indeed. Going back a few million yrs if you like. Our ancestors were even harvested by eagles that lifted 'us' by talons in eye sockets to back of head.
    15
  515.  @xslayer14  It's definitely Cali policy even if unspoken. Cal Coastal Commission, which is supposed to only be concerned w environmental issues, just explicitly stated the quiet part out loud from multiple bureaucrats that they were punishing SpaceX for Elon's political views.
    15
  516.  @robedmund9948  I don't buy that, principle is irresponsible, entirely possible for him/her to know and WTH are they doing if they don't know that?? Worthless.
    15
  517. MSM is solidifying it's obsolescence here.
    15
  518.  @vikinglife6316  One key reason I 'bet the ranch' on TSLA in 2019 was Elon's 2018 comp pkg. This is months old "news" and we are still mad as hell. Welcome to the USSA Banana Republic.
    15
  519.  @roberthart9886  I see, that's why I was arguing against the insane unscientific Authoritarian lockdowns from day 1. We'll be paying for it for decades. But it was reasonably profitable?
    15
  520. They ate the rich now they can eat eachother.
    15
  521.  @Co-rv-us  Quite a lot has been said about that and it's entirely unnecessary, Biden's bid to cater to the Greta Thornburg's meant crippling US oil and gas production as tho that were a solution to anything. We (US) can be energy independent much easier than most. Germany made big mistake eliminating nuke electric, hope they reverse course on that. US could also supply much LNG to Germany if not for destructive climate hysteria. Gas is a bridge to renewables and has allowed the USA to meet or beat the climate agreements by replacing coal, almost no other nation has...despite also neglecting nukes. BIG respect for Germany for this moment regardless.
    15
  522.  @uoohknk6881  Plus NYC area, same disease, progressivism (NeoMarxism at this point) gone wild.
    15
  523. I read the Book "Hunger"...many yrs ago and realized that it WILL CONTROL you, starvation, make you do things you never thought possible.
    15
  524. American malls were grossly over built, 4X the sq. footage of other nations and due for a serious trimming regardless of Amazon.
    15
  525. You must have used the correct words, I can't say much here.
    15
  526. How do you know?
    15
  527. "If you can't pay for it twice in cash you can't afford it." Why the hell would anyone make payments in the 1st place? Get an old Honda and get ahead.
    15
  528. "Exotic marble, colorful granite".... maybe just a sloppy sentence but it sounds like granite and marble are the same thing, they are NOT. Oh...and landmasses are still shifting, they never stopped. One can 'often' find fossils in marble because it's a direct decedent of sedimentary rocks where as one NEVER finds fossils in granite as it originates from molten rocks. Fascinating vid however.
    15
  529. Larry Goldberg said something that surprised me, he considers this moment more monumentous, more national existentially crucial than the Civil War. (he was a Never Trumper as recently as early last yr I believe) When Ross Goober flips we will know we have arrived. The delta between Red and Blue here in Cali has been cut in half between last election and the prior one.
    15
  530. IDK about that but 3 yrs in the sun IS USED to me.
    15
  531.  @CharlieBrown723  My 3 siblings and I knew all our childhood that 18 was time to fly the coop, not that we needed any encouragement we were ready to GO. It's the most loving thing parents can do.
    15
  532. New Yoka's best learn to farm, they asked for this.
    14
  533. It's over.
    14
  534. Commifornia lifer previously opposed Mr. T now back the hell out of him.
    14
  535. Elon always delivers--typically way behind schedule but always worth the wait.
    14
  536. Establishment media did similar hysteria against Ronald Regan, "'Cowboy likely to start WW3." on and on, and to lessor extent, The Terminator here in Commifornia, later--"He wasn't as bad as expected." Yeah because y'all set the bar on the ground.
    14
  537. How could anyone be on the aggressors side? Older guy was saving his own life from a bunch of thugs, case closed.
    14
  538. Nope, not even close, the SLS that didn't blow up was 100X more expensive. Every Space Shuttle launch cost $1.5B taxpayer monies, this is private.
    14
  539. So the food is better and they get a baby box they paid for in advance whether they want it or not? I wouldn't trade them lifestyles.
    14
  540. Dan Cooper Did dad also come home with a new socket set?
    14
  541. By the time you rotate you need to rotate back. Best to ignore that nonsense, know what you own and why, ride it out or get out.
    14
  542. NO explanation required, plenty of good reasons for Elon to trim finally after ALL these yrs of being indebt. The Street was expecting him to sell much of this for a long time. Price is holding up better than I expected.
    14
  543.  @Lukeevanshen  OBVIOUSLY you don't know who he is, you will.
    14
  544. Israel will kick ass as per usual, loath the collateral damage, women and children killed on any side very bad, but gotta do what ya gotta do and we in USA got your back side...not that you need it.
    14
  545.  @mercedes932  Don't impose your indoctrination on others. Have you dared delve into the data, the actual science involved? I have and CO2 is clearly not THE driver of climate, it's a bit player.
    14
  546. Former Cali top prosecutor. What could go wrong? U can leave out any qualifiers for unintelligent.
    14
  547. Agree--previously foolishly opposed him, now back the hell out of him. VOTE VOTE VOTE
    14
  548.  @douggherkin  Because he hasn't seen any. No question he doesn't find much time to investigate material out there on the topic, he's going on his personal experience in space which is substantial.
    14
  549. She sees it a dozen times per day, doesn't even register anymore.
    14
  550. It will end up the same, a bunch of no-nothing self proclaimed experts cashing in on childish ignorance and the minor problems will be fixed and forgotten and airliners will continue with their spectacular safety record.
    14
  551. This email was specifically for executives
    14
  552. At this point I doubt there is any difference, he doesn't even know where he is in any given instance.
    14
  553. Rarely use the term "spiritual" but best description of what I've felt alone, just self and one to a few friends/fam on trail untraveled among the giants. Not even sure I want to watch vid, grateful for what was saved, what was lost tho.... There were trees in Berkley area used by seafarers as a navigation point, up to 32ft (11m) in diameter, probably 300ft plus tall, pinpointing the entrance to SF Bay. Just example of a place we may forget was ever spectacular.
    14
  554.  @handsanitizermk.268  He's always relaxed during interviews and such.
    14
  555.  @LooseOrangeJuice  Have you seen Sam on politics over recent yrs? You tell me what it is, sure isn't ethically or rationally based, I don't like Mr. T. much either but to worship Authoritarianism as the alternative is vastly worse.
    14
  556. Essentially guaranteed, even Dems don't like him much.
    14
  557. But it seems those generations are learning while the oldest gen is the one most influenced by dying legacy media component of The Machine. IF T can deliver, if the illegitimate 4th branch of government is slashed as intended, GDP growth could double along with all that implies, that should solidify more support for similar policies going forward.
    14
  558. Don't forget that the government entirely depends on Elon, SpaceX for space access.
    14
  559. What, U can't trot around on your stub?
    14
  560. What usually doesn't work is government initiatives for industrial operations, how many times do we have to repeat that experience before we learn?
    14
  561. Folks who purchase American names no matter how crap they are.
    14
  562. Multi-century high water markers.
    14
  563.  @williamhamstra9673  Overall gasoline would cost considerably less without ethanol but not necessarily at the pump. We are paying for this asinine policy in other ways. What you seem to miss is that there is as much fossil energy input to grow the corn, fertilizer, diesel tractors, and so on, as you get from the ethanol. So it's like using a gallon of ethanol to produce a gallon of ethanol and the process is far from free. See how that can't make sense?
    14
  564. They went half ESG, DEI, lucky to still exist. 😉 I had biggest stock position in BA, right until they crashed 2nd Max. One bro was veteran Engineer for them. I lost all confidence, cashed out, after a lifetime of admiration for Boeing.
    14
  565.  @DunMiCKeYZhao  You are funny....childish ignorance is like that. Who has been killed with FSD besides NO ONE? You'd benefit from facing the real root of your emotional issues, can't be about Tesla it's all on you.
    14
  566. I'm beginning to suspect he's not the nice guy we were all led to believe.
    14
  567.  @user-cb4oz1gj9z  I've never understood those being hostile or rude to cop, there is NOTHING to be gained and plenty to lose. Starting with guaranteed ticket, minimal slack. If you need to contest it--do it in court don't argue on the street. I beat 2 out of 3 times in court for infractions. Some serial speeders insist on going to court every time as often the cop won't bother and then it's generally tossed out. (failed for me once as I wasn't going to return for second court date)
    14
  568. LOVE the janitor story, it's exactly what I think of in this context, but more as a policy description than specific expectation, that it can literally play out as such is great.
    14
  569. He's always tuned up on ethanol for these, octane booster of choice. 🙂
    14
  570. Same old story, this is how Tesla works, how it stays dynamic and vibrant. Are you new in this space? Endless litany of same rhetoric every couple yrs, 2018 was relentless--"Tesla losing executives like crazy! It's DOOMED!" When actually Tesla retains top executives much longer than typical Silicon Valley companies.
    14
  571. Exactly, not prudent to get ahead, excess capacity requires maintenance, decays and becomes obsolete.
    14
  572.  @CestTenderness  Good GRIEF that's a self defeating attitude. I LOVE life, it's not easy but that would be boring, it's just too short.
    14
  573.  leathan7  What would U do when endlessly attacked? Wait patiently until they gleefully behead U?
    14
  574.  @jamesmorrow1646  More mild this century than last and of course nothing compared to 1930's when real records were set inc. 137F in SoCali. But propaganda works.
    13
  575. This is what happens when you give last tier thug cops presidential license to run amok. SHAMEFUL.
    13
  576. He's a boldfaced liar like everyone else at CNN, it's a job requirement. Look at the BS they tossed at Joe Rogan and on and on. Anyone with an independent thought is arch enemy of the Left today.
    13
  577. Increasingly punish and cancel freedom of good ppl while pretending to crack down on thugs. Commit self defense? Go to jail. Armed robbery? Just a desperate needy dude
    13
  578. Ppl got what they voted for.
    13
  579. How about Rand Paul? I don't think term limits are the answer.
    13
  580.  @magmaticly  Indeed and it IS NORMAL most places. To disregard them is the same as disrespecting yourself.
    13
  581. Leftists certainly made ME a T. supporter, wasn't always.
    13
  582. Used to be complex, Centrist but last few yrs turned me simply anti-Leftist
    13
  583. Lemon's mistake was to be unbearably BORING, if he had tough questions he'd probably succeeded.
    13
  584. He's been saved by senility, too 'clueless to be prosecuted.'
    13
  585. Almost automatically worse than worthless then, because idle hands inevitably cause interference, friction in our lives.
    13
  586. Sure they are if you can pay for them, but a JOB is not.
    13
  587. Abundant red flags with apparent haphazard builders. Composites are vastly stronger in tension than compression making that choice a little dubious from the start.
    13
  588. The fire bombing on Tokyo did a lot more damage than an Abomb, no wonder they figured it would take more of them.
    13
  589. Imagine the self loathing she must possess just for being HER.
    13
  590. It's the number 1 pillar, without it nothing else matters. 1A for damn good reason.
    13
  591. Obsolete idiot pawns. Let MNM bury themselves in their lies and deception.
    13
  592. "Fuming mad about the violence...." That HE is most responsible for.
    13
  593. College in general is a stigma and certain institutions in particular. (I wouldn't miss my engineering degree experience for anything but I wasn't much indoctrinated for that)
    13
  594.  @Lukeevanshen  You don't understand where wealth comes from there would be no Tesla nor SpaceX without him. Naturally it's a massive team of brilliant engineers and so on but the guy on the assembly line is the only replaceable element there....I bet many of them are going to be millionaires too or already are if they took advantage of TSLA perks. Tesla's Mission Statement from some 15 yrs ago is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy (by a decade or more according to Elon, impossible to measure but not far off) this is a massive benefit to humanity in the form of health, wealth and quality of life. Soon the 'poor man' will be driving for 1/4 or less the price that's been constant since the 1920's. You don't know it yet or don't understand the significance but HE has turned the entire global auto industry in a radical new direction. Then there is the solar and home to utility scale electric storage, transformative coupled with wind and solar power. Fossil fuels are zombies, walking dead. HE cut access to low Earth orbit by 10X! For the 1st time ever, everyone will have access to internet everywhere on the planet and we all depend on satellites even if we forget. His billions are peanuts compared to the gains we collectively will benefit from HIS refusal to quit when anyone else on Earth would have. Simple facts.
    13
  595. That'd make me sway 100k votes. F evil Google. (lk that's going to make the cut)
    13
  596. Gotta love the cheers when he trips over nothing and crashes. 😄
    13
  597. They don't show the part we want to see, shown is an unpressurized shell section on one end of the business center, extreme-negative-pressure section.
    13
  598. Not as much as their blatant narrow minded intolerance of everyone else.
    13
  599. These vids only 15 to 30 minutes from my place. This is what we call "summer" in Cali....as long as we continue to avoid managing wild lands properly.
    13
  600.  @proudamerican7662  YES and MNM, Twitter, FB....but none of them will be with the exception of our boycotting the guilty outfits.
    13
  601. ​ @marcussmith1885  Relishing the demise of America is pathetic, tells all we need to know about U and your kind.
    13
  602. He's on vacation and no one noticed.
    13
  603. So the Soup Opera continues, funny titillating and trivial.
    13
  604. That's an attitude that's bound to cause you serious grief one day.
    13
  605. May the thousands of Stingers, Javelins and tons of ammo OTW arrive in time.
    13
  606. I saw a thief hustling out of Tractor Supply store in Chico, Cali, earlier this yr, broad daylight. Store employees could only run out and try to get a license number which the cops wouldn't bother with because the courts couldn't back them up.
    13
  607. DEI hire.
    13
  608. Much of that is far greater complexity demanded my governments and consumers, crash worthiness, airbags, endless comfort items....
    13
  609. That and who wants the clunky bulky crappy alternative.
    13
  610. Joking right? You can't snap fit or zip tie structural components to frame rails, lol.
    13
  611. His rig says he's insane tho.
    13
  612. I've always been non-tribal, Centrist, but have become hardcore anti-Leftist in recent yrs. (still not a conservative per se, more Libertarian)
    13
  613. His only appeal ever was being personable, likable, he never exuded much intelligence.
    13
  614. CNN with facts? Astounding.
    13
  615. Cuban has never impressed me as very smart, goes to show that anyone can become very wealthy in America. 😄
    13
  616. The only exposure I get to them is 2nd hand like this, I suggest everyone else boycott them as well.
    13
  617. As for that Safeway--leave the doors open and walk away, when the inventory is gone, that's all folks.
    13
  618.  @1369Stiles  Showing up intoxicated is irrelevant to this story.
    13
  619. No defense for a few of Elon's comments here--HOWEVER providing Ukraine with $100M of Starlink internet hardware (free from SpaceX, donated) starting only days after Russian K.O.ed the internet there, arguably much more impactful than some questionable opinions which everyone is free to dismiss. Russia threatened Elon's life for that BTW. Actions speak louder than words. Everyone is complex and no one is perfect, get over it, he's done vastly more good for the world than any few Tweets can undo.
    13
  620. How about an authoritarian state with neutered police like my Commifonia? 😁
    13
  621. SORRY...your "need it now" doesn't effect reality. If you weren't prepared for this it's on YOU. Sheesh.
    13
  622.  @neodaltiair8624  Not specific to OP--the more that comes out the more suss it looks. Local cops say they were only assigned to traffic not the buildings, SS avoids questions....IDK but looking deliberate from inside on some level.
    13
  623. Elon spends 90hrs a week WORKING his ass off at SpaceX and Tesla, he routinely walks the factory floors it's not a 'work from home' situation. If he wanted to simply enjoy his wealth he would have done so without ever creating those two globally transformative enterprises which were most likely to leave him poor again. Personal wealth has never interested him, it's a TOOL to and end.
    13
  624. If not mistaken--both Gali and Farzad are examples of the switch they are describing. Same for me too, I had modest case of propaganda induced TDS only dissipating in last couple yrs.
    13
  625. I'd add that anyone buying more than bare minimum econobox, anytime, is a fool if they can't pay for it twice in cash.
    13
  626. Jim Farley a good man saddled w impossible task, similar to a startup but different. Best wishes.
    13
  627. Sorry for Japan but not these companies. Let the legacies die it's healthy and necessary for capitalism to work. As a kid in rural America--we majorly relied on Sears, now largely forgotten and not missed, we got everything from car batts, tools to clothing/bed sheets to appliances to Xmas presents from Sears.
    13
  628. Yeah Y I no longer ride street bikes, U can avoid most accidents but NOT ALL. Been in three where I had no escape path, not my fault, not possible to dodge. Avoided 100's, many near misses, usually avoided by my instantaneous reactions, judgment and handling.
    13
  629. ***** That's right.  Fake planes, fake buildings, fake city.  Who is so naive to believe NYC existed!
    13
  630. Too bad God caused the plane to crash.
    13
  631. I've scanned the NKLA enthusiast threads and every single one is an obvious naive child. Not a scrap of rationality, reason nor background nor due diligence among NKLA gamblers.
    13
  632. Self proclaimed criminal sanctuary. What did you THINK would happen??
    12
  633. 1st they came after the BIG Billionaires, not me so I said nothing, then they came after the small billionaires, not me so....then they came after the multi-10 millionaires and I stayed silent as it wasn't ME...then they came after the everyday millionaires and the rest of us and there was no one left to stand up for ME.
    12
  634.  @julianshepherd2038  Sounds like you'er projecting your own state of mind on to others.
    12
  635. Save for bedtime. ;-)
    12
  636. Downgraded to FB status if appropriate.
    12
  637. Activist for her ego.
    12
  638. Started off neutral on Kim Jong Newsom, now happy to see him on the hot seat. As a NorCali lifer--losing population is a good thing.
    12
  639. Remember when Japanese production was predicted to take over the known universe?
    12
  640. Evolution marches on...........
    12
  641.  @stedavid13  That's NOT the way legit inventory is stored and they are (apparently) 2 yrs old, not new inventory.
    12
  642. Too bad he couldn't control his volume, yelling can't be calming to the cat.
    12
  643. Good to hear his take on my Commifornia disaster and NYC, both prime examples of Progressive Utopias owned by thugs.
    12
  644.  @sianpearson9927  Why don't you tell us and explain how this tyrant doesn't qualify.
    12
  645. We are so F'n lucky right now. Almost enough to make me believe in god. lol
    12
  646. No it was right, that punk caused traffic collision and needs to learn the concept of consequences.
    12
  647. Josh is usually the best in panel as here.
    12
  648. Tesla is going to kick Ford's ASS in E-trucks, CT and otherwise. Are you kidding me??? We love Elon for what he accomplishes fools, have you never seen a double Falcon rocket landing?! CT is going to be rolling out soon enough in volume, inc. to real truck guys.
    12
  649. CNN and MSNBS are incredibly, childishly stupid, and I thought FOX was bad. lol.
    12
  650. BOY HOWDY...many yrs ago MSNBS(C) was my home page, got pissed at them for promoting and profiting off mass shootings but still patronized CNN for yrs...now I boycott them all including New York Crimes, LAT....
    12
  651. Not even he can do that. HOWEVER he will soon create a Twitter video feature to compete with YT, that should be adequate.
    12
  652. Many do but TDS extends beyond our borders.
    12
  653. Wouldn't survive the Supreme Court anyway, we have a Constitution forbidding a Ministry of Truth. But we also found out how 1A is not enough, it must be vigorously defended ALL along the way.
    12
  654. I don't care if she was pink--have brilliant policies, integrity, character....? I'm in. (none of that present in KH)
    12
  655.  @dboi4952  Good point. That may apply to many of those relishing this sort of trivia. I watched a couple of these in recent months but I'm done with it. These pundits are just milking a non-story for cheap attention.
    12
  656. There is no climate crisis and CO2 is a bit player in climate, NOT a driver of climate. THAT'S what the actual science and data indicates.
    12
  657. They are both as American as anyone, much more American than average where it counts most.
    12
  658. Bass even more so except she's just mayor. LA Times endorsed her then apologized after noticing that competence matters.
    12
  659. As per his opening comments--this circus is worth ignoring.
    12
  660. Ditty and Epstein list coming out anyway, they should spend on relocating to non-extradition country.
    12
  661. And he IS chill away from work at least. On the job he has to be intense and often ruthless. Nothing wrong with his Tweets except for the 2018 "funding secured". Some expect a CEO to be filtered, politically correct, a slick rehearsed polished salesman like Mark Fields or the ex CEO of Boeing-- those guys make ME nervous not Elon
    12
  662. It's not a stock for ignorant simpletons, maybe you'll get it in a few yrs when everyone gets it and it has a several $T market cap.
    12
  663.  @jaehparrk  Dirt cheap at it's growth rate, forward PE around 30, PEG 0.5. Won't stay at this 50% discount indefinitely.
    12
  664. Folks are fleeing Commifornia due to the horrific political environment not natural disasters, one of the worst inevitabilities most haven't even heard of--Central Valley becoming a great lake for half a yr or so causing some 1 or $2T in damages.
    12
  665. It's good other nations have functioning leadership which we can't claim today in USA.
    12
  666. Farther N. Cali, non-tribal independent, previously opposed Mr. T., back the hell out of him now.
    12
  667. Will be closer to 80% BEVs by 2030, regardless of government nonsense. Legacy auto BEVs aren't selling, compelling, ie, Tesla and Chinese brands, ARE selling well. Tesla is growing charging infrastructure to keep up with vehicle sales. Apartments will provide chargers or become obsolete just as hotel chains are beginning to provide "destination chargers" today. Public sentiment will catch up with reality as they gain some experience.
    12
  668. They always seem to have a little fun and humor in the mix at Tesla.
    12
  669.  @serif392  A bigger mess than authoritarian rule Aussi style? Not quite but some states are close to that bad.
    12
  670. Put in my two bits via purchasing Canadian, American and "Don't Tread On Me" flags...hope to see some action from my Commifornia too.
    12
  671. Everything said HERE was accurate.
    12
  672. Eric went against the Biden admin on a few things, could be more lawfare, this time for the additional purpose of appearing to not be politically biased.
    12
  673. He absolutely will. He's been consistently practicing what he 'preaches' for decades.
    12
  674. YOU will have the option of turning off the crap you don't want to see. Soon there will be a YouTube competing video feature so, YT--quit the insane censorship or lose market share.
    12
  675. You wouldn't have to worry about it if you weren't extremely irresponsible with your personal finances. Quit dodging responsibility for your own recklessness.
    12
  676. Found out they couldn't make compelling EVs at anywhere near competitive prices without losing at some 50% rate, so back to what they know, get a few more decent yrs then it's over.
    12
  677. Let'em go away. Obsolete biz models with crap vehicle models. GOOD RIDDANCE.
    12
  678.  @noneshere  Yeah I'm happy to be rid of carbs because I HAD to work on them. Haven't done a damn thing on injection systems in 30 yr.s and 4 vehicles. Not to mention power, efficiency and so on.
    12
  679.  @russdog06  How are so naive and simple to fall for "sending power through the earth"?? Do you even know the diff between engineering and magic? YES he gave us AC and a couple other things that would have come only later but they sure as hell would have happened even without your magician.
    12
  680. Nice story. I pickup hitchhikers fairly often in general, some good experiences doing so and I used to hitchhike a lot many yr.s ago as a child/youth....sort of payback.
    12
  681. My fearless leader Newsom...you are NEXT. (Cali lifer here)
    12
  682. Simply taunting the Big Boys who have multi-billion $ advertising budgets, typically big media trash Tesla...but pick your market T is crushing it. Nothing that a little payola can't fix here.
    12
  683. One sage old man I know sees this as more dire than the Civil War, if we don't reverse the debt crisis.
    12
  684. My grandmother managed to spend a few 10 million USD after grandfather who created the wealth died. She died broke even with fat pension plan from Co. granddad cofounded and rent for the mansion she let go of late in life.
    12
  685. Maybe as an aside but there will be one after another wasting Mr. T's entire 4 yrs. Lawyer tells me - "'Trump needs to force the issue by overtly ignoring these illegal actions, cause a constitutional crisis for the SCOTUS to quickly act on or the lower courts will become irrelevant.'"
    12
  686. F dealers and employees may as well milk it for all it's worth, don't think Ford will last to 2030.
    12
  687. This is 2 month old "news", long ago settled, debunked, forgotten.
    12
  688. They don' much care so we shouldn't either. Our job is to resist continuous bailouts and rewarding failure.
    12
  689. Tesla scrambling to max production. Elon said that was the short (implied mid and long) term goal, "this yr". Can't wait to see what Texas and German plants can do by yr end.
    12
  690. An astounding situation, no where is there intended to be more free thinking but it's been completely subverted to PC which is self censorship, aka., fundamentally dishonest. Friend of mine was a Phsyc professor in N. Cali and had to quit because he wasn't allowed to tell students the truth.
    12
  691.  @johnwang9914  Yeah a dysfunctional 3rd world country should be our aspirational target.
    12
  692. New Yoka's begged for this result.
    11
  693. That's a myth. Turns out coral reefs are cyclical, Great Barrier Reef is doing fine.
    11
  694.  @HKim0072  I earned and paid as I went, took longer but got a real challenging engineering degree debt free, not gender studies. What's your point?
    11
  695. 8:09 High pressure bottles free standing without any valve guard, all it takes is someone tripping over hose, bottle tips over breaking off valve and you have explosive unguided missile launch blasting anyone near like a hand grenade and rocketing across the local landscape with the force to smash thru brick walls, cars, anything in it's path. In the USA such reckless practice would get you in serious trouble.
    11
  696. We have to SEE TO IT that it comes to and end. (yeah that means YOU YouTube)
    11
  697. Early Parkinsons? She's shaking like a leaf in the wind.
    11
  698. His speech was calm, mild and on point. The 'outrage' over it is a pathetic display of societal frailty, allergic to reality.
    11
  699.  @johnamerican1578  Exactly. Imagine how out of place he'd be in an actual underground mine, I come from underground mining background, can't think of any Leftist who'd make it ONE DAY in that environment.
    11
  700. Flabby in mind and body.
    11
  701. "'To rapidly advance we need to break some things.'" SpaceX--ONLY in America. :D
    11
  702. Nothing has really changed much except for lack of justice, lack of consequences for aggressor punks.
    11
  703. Reinforcing their blatant paranoia of loss of power.
    11
  704.  @hintssabbat  Advocating violence, fraud or "fire in a crowded theater" when there is no fire, is going too far, that's been covered by Supreme Court ruling LONG AGO. Everything else must be allowed.
    11
  705. Ridiculous nonsense "observation", no CEO on Earth is more engaged with the engineering and execution details of their company, these Yahoo's don't know anything except that Elon spends a few minutes per day Tweeting.
    11
  706.  @thepeaksandthetroughs  Ultimately U the ppl still have the power, better use what's left of it while U can.
    11
  707. Voted yesterday in Cali, for 1st time in my 40 plus yrs of eligibility it was 100% Republican, not that I'm thrilled with them I just came to loathing the Left since Covid.
    11
  708. Anything to steer folks away from tuning into reality.
    11
  709. Speak for YOURSELF.
    11

  711. Plump sister for sure. Exactly the same.
    11
  712.  @mikker29y  Be extremely selective is best. We in the USA enjoy significant prosperity from the likes of Indian's, many nationalities....Elon Musk from S. Africa, leaders of Nvidia, Google, on and on.
    11
  713.  @toe395  Me too in a different sense, and we were both WRONG. There is a diff between lucid and mentally gone.
    11
  714. Never been a Mr. T. fan but it's absolutely anyone but Biden. Relish a cringy debate but can't believe Biden's handlers will allow it.

  719. To be fair--K is just a puppet, replaceable in a week. No need to loath her in particular.

  720.  @AdamEwart  IF he took the stand: "When did you tell your attorney to stop falsifying records Mr. Trump?" Mr. T.: "I didn't ever ask him to falsify anything." Judge: "ANSWER the question or I'll lock you up for contempt!" Get the picture? That's how kangaroo courts work and that's exactly what it was.
    11
  721. @ He needs to GTFO of the way of rebuilding. Let owners clean up and build. Asinine.

  725. It was clear from day one that AP could NOT have been used for several reasons.
    11
  726. Same as he ever was except this is extra sober, non-humorous. He never talked a lot which works for him most of the time. I've always found him impossible not to like but business practices are an open question for me.

  727. $10T.....that's going to require some steep tax increases in the near future.

  744. Not only that but they were literally selling blue checks to celebs and pundits, etc...for around $15k out the back door, losing that exclusivity and what they illicitly paid for pisses those folks off.
    11
  745. For what?
    11
  746. ALL such prior predictions have failed, this one probably will be a future joke as well.
    11
  747. It's stupid to judge a person by the car they happen to occupy at the moment--but I always thought anyone who purchases an Escalade must be stupid, don't know the new ones but there was nothing but cheesy Chevy in them traditionally. Horrible drama styling with cheep plastic chrome crap everywhere, dashboard made out of half a trash bin....rubbish on road and off, unreliable, totally tasteless. I'd have to be in best humor to be seen in one, sort of the expensive version of the laughable PT Cruiser.
    11
  748.  @brodiapunch  FL is a 'free state', so naturally everyone is fleeing the Commies and driving up prices there, TX, etc.. Plus the reckless shutdown disaster will still be paid for by your grandchildren. Did you expect no consequences for insane political policies? Maybe you'd prefer NYC, Los Angeles or Frisco progressive disaster areas? Realize that being anti-leftist does not mean being Republican, it's not a binary world.

  750. As a local to this region--BRING IT ON. We need this precip snow is money in the bank to fill our reserviors.
    11
  751. Many may have built their lives around what was, lake side property, businesses and such. No easy way and no way to please everyone, but not as bad as what the Native tribes had to suffer since they were dismissed when over damming our rivers.
    11
  752. Crime causes poverty. To tolerate theft, and they do, is to encourage it.

  753. "to bring these fiery monsters under control" uhmm...OK...sounds doable. 🙄
    11
  754. Who is the last to leave a dying city? It's the least dynamic, least productive rational responsible and basic integrity too. In short--dregs are left behind, simple reality.

  755. LOVE the story. North Commifornia lifer--I've ridden much of that same Highway 1, Port Angeles to Humboldt area. Very pleased you were well received in the USA!
    11
  756.  @NoiserToo  Maybe but it won't matter for long for legacy auto, from Japan to USA to Germany, they are ALL in deep predictable dire straits. BEVs done right are simply better and cheaper.
    11
  757. It was only a few yrs ago when folks were complaining the price of Model 3 had dropped by $2k since they purchased a couple months prior. Seems everyone has forgotten about those series of price reductions.

  760.  @watts18269  Climate alarmism fits that category.
    11
  761. I really hope to see the T semi produced in significant numbers soon, it's proof of concept for an entire new market segment. One might argue Tesla cars are an emotional purchase, but business is ruthlessly economic by necessity.
    11
  762. Bottom line--we are all damn lucky to exist at all and we still haven't fully learned our lessons, still at too high risk.
    11
  763. Trump sold out the entire West. Shameful and disgusting as usual.

    10
  768. Everything, tyrants have no boundaries short of overwhelming opposing force.
    10
  769.  @sapphonymph8204  I started with a simple question that no one seriously attempted to answer, it's dogma, nonsense just like "Neanderthal's were brutish and dumb", always the default that we are somehow superior without a thought. That's dangerous and dumb and there is no ultimate destination in evolution other than continued existence. So what does "pinnacle" even mean in that context? Seems bacteria win hands down.
    10
  770. @L Not that anyone expects prudence from a frat house but one initiation practice involved drinking gallons of water, in my small college town, too much water can and did kill once...which initiated stick rules on initiations. Odd tangent: marathon runners have also died from drinking too much water.
    10
  771. Those from the outside typically appreciate what we used to stand for much more than those without that broader perspective.
    10
  772.  @immortal3293  Get off it.
    10
  773. Leslie Anderson Let me get this straight--You are telling me that a 2 yr. old girl DESERVES to be tortuously slowly killed by leukemia and that a billion infants DESERVE to be born into starvation because they chose the "wrong fuel", aka. wrong God? Really? How did an infant make any choice at all??? Please tell me you are better than that, better than your backwards bronze age religion!
    10
  774. Leslie Anderson Probably a victim of Christianity, in any case God is ALL powerful that means ALL RESPONSIBLE including his anger.
    10
  775. Gosh I think E46 deserves an 8 or 9....I own an E92 M3 and think it's in same ballpark, I like it better, but E46 is timeless style so properly understated! Truly ICONIC.
    10
  776. Nope--these sort in this region are making more like 200/$250k per yr. and they have no risk, he has all the risk.
    10
  777. Started off neutral, give him a chance, on Kim Jong Newsom as "my" gov, learned to loath the slick SOB.
    10
  778. SUuure--blame it on Putin instead of reckless money printing, convenient.
    10
  779. Another great Cramer 'rant'. :D 5:20 is a crucial bit of insight.
    10
  780.  @Batman-vr6jp  They charge what they want and they will BE the power supply company as well as the world's biggest "gas station", they can charge non Tesla drivers extra like they do in Europe. Meanwhile non-Teslas will be exposed to superior cars, software, etc., at Superchargers.
    10
  781. Clickbait. Nothing here backs the title.
    10
  782. Religion and extreme politics both based on irrational dogma. They have always meshed well.
    10
  783. Rescue circus, zero chance of saving them.
    10
  784. Downside to vids like this is that it makes her somewhat relevant.
    10
  785.  @georgebronte840  Got it. We have plenty of great jobs for finer folks to fill. Shortages of personnel all over, nation of immigrants, common values and virtues crucial, not nationality. Must be done with great care, borders must mean something.
    10
  786.  @iankearns774  Let them show who they are and what the stand for.
    10
  787.  @Bamawagoner  Starving ppl are NOT obedient they will do anything to end their hunger and I me ANYTHING It's the one thing that turns the most self disciplined moral man into a raging animal, at least as long as they have any strength left.
    10
  788. Zuck won't be a major player, no fan of him but take support where it counts. I'd ask him to be transparent on FB/Meta censorship policies.
    10
  789. Great song but "Born in the USA" was not patriotic, quite the contrary. (not even criticizing him for that, just say'n)
    10
  790. That will take mass protests in the streets I suspect, but it must be done.
    10
  791. Why distrust Elon? Any specifics or just class bigotry and Establishment indoctrination?
    10
  792. Total nonsense made incredibly stupid by the irony that these tiny operators are the farthest from corporate.
    10
  793. They can't be paid much doing it with 150 yr old methods, they aren't worth much doing it so inefficiently. That's why they are poor, mechanization is required to dramatically increases productivity. 3000 tons per yr for entire nation when one man should do that in a week.
    10
  794. migueslick I totally hear you...  I don't really want thieves to get executed, not even close.  I'd probably prefer to work them half to death breaking rocks by hand if it would teach them the value of the dollars that they were burning via stealing instead. But one can make a decent argument that the THREAT of death, a burglar knowing someone who got shot by a home owner...that is a reasonable compromise.  In other words: burglarizing a residence damn well better be dangerous.  If you have been hit a few times you might smile when a Crim gets waxed.
    10
  795. Driver was drunk plus compromising pharmaceuticals AND going insanely fast for little driveway like road.
    10
  796. "Hurt the profitability of Tesla competitors..." Profitability used loosely as they lose money hand over fist well before Tesla price cuts.
    10
  797. Tesla is thriving better than ever, quit conflating market craziness with the company.
    10
  798. Putting us ALL at risk prioritizing thugs over sane sober moral citizens.
    10
  799. One of the rescuers at the scene Tweeted, paraphrased: "'I'm seriously wanting to buy a Tesla after seeing this.'"
    10
  800. My only experience with golf was working at a course as a kid, ALL the carts were electric. (driving them was great fun as a 12 yr old)
    10
  801. Currently and foreseeably, basically forever. It's DOA.
    10
  802. Also fueling works out to be some 2X more expensive than diesel in an optimistic case. DOA, probably just attempting to limp the stock along until they can all sell.
    10
  803.  @Icayn  None of them are a substitute for the 1-ton service type chassis I've relied on for decades. For me the CT is the clear choice as it can be a big car, carry lumber, furniture or whatever, power a welder, etc. Go anywhere I could possible hope to drive as effectively as anything out there. And in a yr or two--do the driving for me. Software doesn't matter to dinos who don't know what they are missing, like a flip phone vs smart phone. If I want more range I'll add it later. Props to GM for offering a fine option tho, choice is good. Might not last long as they will be losing a ton of $ on every sale for foreseeable future. I avoid any new model from any MFG for first couple yrs, let them fix the early problems first.
    10
  804. $125k starting price. HAhaha. For 200 mile range. LOL Cool switches tho! HAHAHA

  810.  @majinvegeta6364  Get over yourself. A tangential joke doesn't injure anyone you killjoy.
    10
  811. SHOCKER--China too has mentally challenged elements of society.

  812. Or the reverse, she settles for stability and certainty but fathers other guys children. That's the common scenario.
    10
  813.  @SoulShiftingInsight  Where are the links? If you are implying airliners are doing this I'm done, that's SO childishly naïve I have nothing more to say.
    10
  814. Bullshit is "well documented" constantly.
    10
  815. There has to be an economic opportunity associated with it or it's not viable, and there just isn't. There's good reason homeless don't campout in the wilderness where no one would harass them, but instead on a city sidewalk.
    10
  816. Several grand worth it appears.
    10
  817. And then academia went completely off the rails? 😄
    10
  818. Aluminum is in no way a "heavy metal", it's a major component of Earth's crust, ubiquitous and not generally a concern. The rest mentioned could be a concern but apparently of natural origin if not natural concentrations, still not likely a long term problem vs if the dams had never existed or 5 yrs forward.
    10
  819. Not a terrible life style, lot's of us love to camp by a river for vacation, these folks get to do it all the time.

  821.  @nikhilkay1  It was basically bankrupt when he paid 2 or 3X what it was worth and is now doing far better than ever. Tune into reality.
    10
  822. SanfranShisco a showcase of Progressive success.
    10
  823. I think Germany would have met it's match in the channel and and then, with what was left, been mired in an endless persistent resistance they couldn't overcome, from around every corner, ditch, wall and tree.
    10
  824. My first industrial job, 17 y.o. at an underground mine mill taught me to loath unions. The only thing they did for me was to convince me to strike out on my own when I was 20. I laughed at the guys who said: "Slow down your making us look bad." Only yrs later did it dawn on me that they were serious. I never slowed down I just moved on. Since I've contracted for hundreds of businesses with increased conviction that unions ruin everything including management.
    10
  825. It's what governments always do, the bigger more involved they get the more screwed we are.

  826. Imagine how embarrassing it would be to F-up that badly on film in front of friends, he'd never "live that down". :D
    10
  827. One more painful step towards decoupling, can't really afford to be codependent on the CCP anymore. Much more concerned about Rare Earth production, we'll replace China supplies and they'll be without a global market, if they push too hard. Saudis embargoed oil to the USA once. Response: we doubled industrial, home, car...efficiencies, terminated oil fired electric plants (yes was a thing), developed alternatives across the board. Saudis paid for it for decade(s) w low prices, plus permanent reduced reliance.

  828. Mr. EV must be about the most broad based EV expert of all time, seriously.

  832. And it's already a toxic wasteland, not much you can extract to make it worse. But leave it to Commifornia to find excuses to thwart it for 'environmental' reasons.
    10
  833.  @Flash3-22  Busses, vans or whatever, don't know the details. They can RIDE in a modern vehicle, just not DRIVE them. Odd as that may be, religions don't tend to make sense.

  834. IDK...but the one smoking a cigarette will be ribbed in the locker room forever.
    10
  835.  @Roberta-anne  Thank you. People can be wrecked by the process alone, may wipe out a modestly wealthy person thru legal costs, loss of job and friends, stress.....
    10
  836.  @LaSombraa  Drive by a "soul food" restaurant everyday here if farther NorCali, friendly with the ppl there but IDK how they stay in biz as they seem to be active only a few X per month and the place smells like sewage. I'll never eat there. I guess it's more authentic to it's presumed roots reeking lk that. lol.

    10
  838. GM had over half the entire USA market entering the '70's and all the Big 3 were offering nothing but crap cars. We needed Japanese imports to kick Big 3 in the butt.
    10
  839. Ironically looks like Tesla will be biggest component of saving German auto industry.
    10
  840. Time to upend this authoritarian crap. 90% vacced?....and 80% of the remainder far better than vacced having already had Covid. Call it victory and move on. This is insanity. Canadian Truckers rule!

  846. It's not even that, Twit 2.0 is not suppressing any voices based on ideology, but doxxing or advocating violence from anyone is rightly disallowed.

  847. Reusable orbital rockets is 1M times harder, Boeing and Lockheed laughed at him for even suggesting it was possible not long ago.

  848. Let the market work, the more they abandon meritocratic principles (aka, common sense) the worst they will fair.

  852. Just keep the Goddamned Christians away. :D
    9
  853. I'm old enough to remember when "Question Authority" was a fundamental hippy slogan. At what point did it (farther Left) switch to "worship authority"? Some old hippies are the most hardcore capitalists/Libertarian folks you'll ever meet.
    9
  854.  @DHall-xz7ke  They want a Beta Provider to marry, yes he should be rich as possible, but the Alpha Seed, the one she wants to breed with, can be a carefree Chad going no where. (that's the cynical humorous angle but often accurate)

  878.  @seigeengine  Point 1 is completely false for ME. 2 is true but correctable and it's not about living off the land entirely it's about incremental diet supplementation. 3 is laughable, my yard is vastly cleaner, healthier than 90% of American commercial farming, I use essentially zero pesticides and rare exceptions are organic. Wild untrodden lands all around. Surely you are aware of some of the nasty persistent toxins used in modern agriculture, grain silos are fumigated with stuff you don't even want to think about. I hope you buy nothing but organic and never eat out. Americans are extremely unhealthy due to sugar, grain oils, over processed foods, etc., certainly not from foraging their food which would also cure the rampant sedentary problem.

  880. He contributed to me selling before this yrs crash, warned us the virus was not taken seriously enough by The St., in Jan/Feb....I've profited off this disaster tho I would prefer it didn't happen.
    9
  881. This is a difficult situation just as all stock choices are by their very nature...easy in hindsight but rarely so before hand. If it was obvious to everyone that TSLA was going to be--say $1000 a yr. from now, it would already be close to that price now. One advantage Tesla has that's rarely mentioned is they don't have a huge legacy liability of retired employees pensions, etc., I can't quantify that advantage but it must be significant.

  882. What?! U don't want a cadaver in Chief?

  888. I recently saw an OLD model S that still looked modern and very nice. The new versions are properly subtle updated, far better than dramatic styling cues just so everyone knows you have the new one, change for the sake of change is silly and makes them age faster.
    9
  889. Yeah I'm on board with Peter Lynch approach, ignore market and economic prognostications....I shouldn't even be here. Timing is a fools game. :D

  901. Is it? And they failed to notice profits crater every time a company does this?

  910. American schools are little more than babysitters/child care institutions.
    9
  911.  @MaxMustermann-yj1wz  NO. He's paying income taxes of $11B, that's $1.5M for every day of his US citizenship which is sort of obscene really. 54% tax rate on "income" plus cap gains. How'd you like to pay over half your income to taxes where it will be mostly flushed down the toilet?

  921. Many did but maybe most didn't even hear of it, those who get their 'news' from TV/Establishment media likely never heard of it. I asked around and most were clueless.

  922. Austin He might be referring to the fact that we now have Putin's right hand man in the White House...why would Russian nuke the USA when they can control it with their man Trump?

  923.  @humanityrising9378  It's easy for most of us to fall into the trap of "confirmation bias feed back loop"....religions rely on it and feed the habit, but some of us are accustomed to checking our premises and others only feed their preconceived notions, often to the point of complete disconnect from reality. (Flat Earthers, Chemtrailers, 9/11 Truthers, Anti-vaccers, for example) There are serious consequences in real life to self deceptions sometimes, even small ones. First you are so clueless as to believe a jet engine can work in space, now ask yourself--what else OBVIOUS have you missed here?

  925. Props to the handful of girls here rating themselves lower than I might. 10 is ridiculous by definition, and even in such rarified air, those who present themselves that way are a turn off. Mentality, attitude, humor, curiosity, FEMINITY, substantial qualities raise or lower rating several points, superficial alone doesn't go far.
    9
  926. Something like Yellow Stone--how much heat per yr is rising on average? I'd bet an extensive network of geothermal heat collection pipes could indeed remove that energy faster than it's naturally released while creating significant electric power. Seems possible to end the threat. It would ruin the parks attraction in terms of geysers and such but better than the eventual alternative.

  938. Elon bought Twitter to free the Bird, despite over paying for it and crashing TSLA in the process and reducing his big stake in Tesla. "Some things are priceless." as he said.

Deciding to stay long today is exactly the same as deciding to BUY at today's price. (emotionally ppl have a hard time with that idea but emotions are the enemy of every investor)

Farmers aren't destroying produce for profit. Why don't you come up with a solution instead of blaming everyone but yourself? I've been transforming my modest lot into a beautiful food producing landscape for many yr.s, that's my partial solution.

  949.  @Simon-gc6uf  DUDE. Do you know what water IS? It's at it's minimal energy state already it's not possible to reap energy out of it. It can be used to transfer or convert energy from one form to another like a hydro power plant or a steam engine but you can't burn what is already fully oxidized. Get a clue before announcing your extreme ignorance to the world. Have you ever seen a ball bounce higher than it was dropped from? NOPE. And you never will. Nature doesn't conform to your fantasies.

  950. This is the norm with government making specific industrial choices that the market should figure out. It's one thing to demand 10% ethanol it's entirely another thing to require grain as the feedstock, utterly retarded, the sort of thing that makes a nation poor.

  957. Damien Holland Only those who thought they could do mindless, low skill work forever have stagnated. They own it, it's their own fault. There is more opportunity than ever in the USA, you just need to acquire a skill in demand and then 6 figures per yr. are readily available. Take responsibility for yourself for a change instead of sniveling and blaming external factors. NO ONE OWES you a job. Create your own darn job if you don't like what's being offered.

  960.  @Madracer09  How about a few: Neuralink, autonomous driving via nothing but vision and neural nets, catching rockets from the air to make them lighter and faster to turn around, using electric car motor heat for useful work and integrating all the heat consuming and generating components, harvesting extra heat from ultra efficient motors via temporarily running them inefficiently to render dedicated heater unnecessary, dry assembled LI batteries, car running on nothing but a ton of existing tech Li batt cells, most cost effective simple efficient rocket engines ever made, produced at unheard of rates....just off top of my head. But it's not so much original ideas that count, ideas are cheap and easy, it's the execution.

    9
  963.  @chuckdeuces911  Do you find it odd that religious folks announce it constantly? What matters here is that good ppl can appreciate other good ppl regardless of their particular path or motivations. It's not helpful to morph non-substantial differences into disrespect or dislike. It doesn't have to matter what god(s) one believes in as long as we can agree on common core values of honesty, integrity, community and so on. There will always be at least some subtitle differences in beliefs among individuals or else we are just tools of one dogma or another, not real individuals.
    9
  964. Nope. All it will take is economics. You are comparing giving up CARS, which is closer but also not great to your analogs. Getting the shots was a mistake if one had a choice, but that's a tangent.

  969. Elon said an antenna small enough for a car was not foreseeable, NO WAY a phone will connect to Starlink unless you tow a trailer. End of story.
    9
  970. 70% of the population disagrees with your tightly wrapped intolerant narrow indoctrinated view, so yeah it will likely help sales.
    9
  971. The bigger lesson about government loans/subsidies and such is the endless accusations "Tesla only exists due to subsidies", I believe that was the lesson Elon was referring to.

  983. Toy a Tesla competitor??? WTF dude, legacies have debt approximate to market cap, losing market share fast and losing money on EVs.

  984. Elon has already wrote a minus 6% check, that means the EU owes money to X as it's losing money currently. 😅

    8
  994. Wake Up You make hysterical assertions with NOTHING to back it up. I've been around over half a century and things were FAR WORSE in the 1960's when America was coming apart at the seams, cities were burning from race riots and the war against the war in Vietnam, or the '70's when terrorism was 10 times more frequent, murder rate at least double, mass starvation the norm in many parts of the world, we were constantly worried about "today maybe the end of the world" as nuclear holocaust was always imminent....or the '80's when inflation was up to 14% and unemployment rampant. Travel was far more dangerous. Or how about earlier when polio killed and crippled children everywhere in the USA, I saw the results and it wasn't pretty. We have it so damned easy today it's laughable to compare. Things are far from perfect and it's fine to focus on our problems and flaws but tell a gay or a black person that things are WORSE now. Get a grip! Do you have any idea what the environment was like prior to the 1980's? Our rivers (in the USA) were so polluted they would catch on fire, city smog gagged you and burned the eyes it was thick, stinky and brown, and lethal, acid rain was rampant, on and on.

  1000.  @martinfiedler4317  For me the cow nose ring is by far the worst, ignoring her attitude which is the real deal breaker. I've seen girls with similar "decorations" who were still highly feminine and otherwise very attractive, rare as they may be.

  1002. Leslie Anderson Expose yourself to some history and reality in general, religion IS NOT serving you well, nor humanity. Things have never been better for humans than they are today, not even close. When Christianity had it's way with Europe they created hell on Earth, since then we have gradually been civilizing that barbaric belief system until today we can almost live with it. Ever heard of the 6 centuries in a row, 52 Popes in succession each dreaming up ever more horrific torture devices for anyone who had a thought of their own and the courage to express it. The Church would confiscate a persons property and slowly torture them to death, they weren't "burned at the stake" they were slowly COOKED for hours, it makes Hitler look incredibly humane. THAT is the logical conclusion of Christianity and it's all justified by the Bible. I bet you don't have much good to say about Islam, and for some good reasons as it's currently expressed even worse that Christianity, but O. bin Laden or any of his sort can't even hold a candle to The Inquisition nor did Islam slaughter any where near as many or as cruelly as Christians. Thank GOD innate human ethics and decency over rules barbaric Christianity today in most of the world.

  1003. You'll love it. I have a near identical one to featured here, 2011. Only purchased 2 yr.s ago with 44k miles, from moderate climate state and crucially--ONE previous owner. Many have 4 or 5 previous owners, to me that means no one "owned it" they only rented.
    8
  1004. Did that ever fly passengers? Not to any significant degree so it only counts as a footnote in history, an impressive failure.
    8
  1005. Exactly. The fact they cost 1/4 as much to operate and are generally just BETTER means that as purchase price parity is achieved, already happening, ICE is dead Simple fact, and I'm a bit of a petrol head, still love my 3 pedal BMW V8.
    8
  1006. No the Volt and Leaf are not comparable to the Model S but they are affordable for average people, the prices are also not comparable, it's a silly comparison in a way. The S is the car you want, the others may suffice to get you around.  (tho the leaf is so hideous I couldn't own it, lol)
    8
  1007. Also it wasn't billionaireS having "some success" it was ONE individual having spectacular success while the rest dream and slowly proceed.

  1011. They cover 100's of companies and Tesla is one of the hardest to get your head around hence the enormous opportunity.
    8
  1012. May as well extract all they can from these dying old industrials, sure it'll accelerate their demise but labor rarely thinks past a couple yrs and management isn't always any better. RIP Big 3. Just like Sears which we used to so heavily depend on in rural America, now forgotten.

  1017. cesar leon So YOU don't own any stock? That's why you don't get it--I work hard for my money and expect it to work hard for me, it's not easy putting hard earned savings at risk as you'd know if you had done so and there are rules for public companies, as a share holder one 'owns' some of a company and has certain rights that go along with that investment otherwise they wouldn't invest at all. A company uses shareholder funds to grow that's why they go public, they know the consequences up front.

  1018. Hate crimes are also BS, we already had laws against assault, etc.

  1023. There IS NO billionaire space race, it's a ONE MAN show. Bezos and Virgin "Galactic" (more like Virgin California) haven't even come close to orbit. None of the old dinosaur astronauts ever imagined this, they panned the idea instead, only Elon did along with Neil D. Tyson (tho he came around nicely later). Credit to NASA for funding SpaceX when they needed it most, by now they have taken over global low Earth orbital access.
    8
  1024.  @Lukeevanshen  You have a very limited perspective and the underlying assumption that there is a static economic pie and it's only how you slice it. That's intensely mindless. It is NOT a zero sum game. Wealth must be created by individuals before there is anything to spread around. NONE of that money came at the expense of all those things you mention, in fact the opposite those things are all directly or indirectly the primary beneficiaries. Having many billions in the RIGHT hands is the best thing that can happen to Earth and humanity.

It doesn't have sharp edges and relatively clean underneath where much of drag typically comes from, two good things for it, but that's it. It became very "floaty" at today's normal highway speeds and was terrifying in crosswinds. It's fuel economy was mainly the result of small size, lite wt. and small engine. Don't forget that drag coefficient and DRAG are two different things, a bigger vehicle can have a better coefficient and still more drag.

How much of our tax dollars has been used just to keep the Persian Gulf oil lanes secure? How much does it cost to run an aircraft carrier battle group for a single day? We turned Iran into an enemy over oil company issues back in the '50's, they would have been a natural ally until we fucked the country up for oil....we continue to pay the price for that rotten behavior. Just a tiny sample of subsidies we continue to spend on fossil fuels but that we tend to forget.

You can starve individually in China today but in the USSR you'd be in the same condition no matter if you work or not, work hard and get punished for it, a defining characteristic of communism. At least you can get relatively ahead thru your own effort in China but you are stuck in the same cesspool environment even if you are Jack Ma.

  1202. I believe they are to some degree, don't know the specifics but we sure as hell cheer them on.
    7
  1203. How'd they manage that? Pepsi claims to have saved $200k over 3 yrs for each Tesla they run.
    7
  1204. Often considered a "superfood" there's no reason we shouldn't eat them today as some of us do.
    7
  1205. Housing glut would be welcome so I can build my new house cheaper in a few yrs.
    7
  1206. Partially agree but Russian example says otherwise and I have a host of reasons to avoid China stocks. There are plenty of other great opportunities. The CCP will do whatever it takes to control the ppl and preserve itself...the good side is that wealth generation is a crucial part of appeasing the repressed population, but CCP paranoia?....who knows where that goes.

  1207.  @darkenergy.  Market is a casino IF you treat it as such aka, trading, gambling. Do you know why you own what you own down to the nitty gritty details, fundamentals? I DO.
    7
  1208. Bring it Apple, competition is good but it's a tough road ahead for an Apple EV.
    7
  1209. Easy money right? You must have more money that you know what to do with.
    7
  1210. Then you'll enjoy 3 hr lines at the pump and $20/gallon.
    7
  1211.  @blankyfang2348  OH...and Li is all over the planet with enough in Nevada alone to transform entire USA to batt/renewable powered and it will be endlessly recycled. Never been a better way to go.
    7
  1212. Yup, I'm already decided, too late Leftists I'll appose y'all for the rest of my life.
    7
  1213. If you believe the Peter Lynch path to market success--we shouldn't even bother tuning into this economic noise.
    7
  1214. Never had any idea how to value cyptos, therefore only watch from the sidelines. Plenty of opportunity elsewhere.
    7
  1215. This is nothing about demand, this is Tesla staying lean and efficient, trimming some fat and bottom performers. It's also not new, 9% cuts in 2018, 7% in 2019. This time it's only salaried workers, hourly will continue to expand and Tesla will have more total at end of yr than today.
    7
  1216. Prosperous ppl can. You should associate with some and learn how to become more valuable. Poverty and wealth are 1st and foremost states of mind.
    7
  1217. Right, MOST will fail. It's suddenly far easier for them to raise capital but they are in a much tougher landscape today and a decade behind Tesla.
    7
  1218. Correct about everyone except Tesla. 60 minutes 2000: "'Amazon is worth 20% more than Sears!!!'" Stated with humorous astonishment.
    7
  1219. Finder: "He won't have the guts to do that again."
    7
  1220. Yeah I'm pretty sure all dems are suicidal. Sure glad I live far from any cities and grow my own food.
    7
  1221. Canada, Australia, us in the USA and others...it's on us as citizens while we still have a say.
    7
  1222. FJB is tarp as a shack.
    7
  1223. Thinking it was a child of his perverse fantasies.
    7
  1224. All their accusations are confessions.
    7
  1225. Century from now this be tourist attraction just like Titanic.
    7
  1226. Elon used YMCA for showers when he was "homeless", sleeping in a small office when he and Kimbal were starting Zip2.
    7
  1227.  @kermitthehermit9588  Elaborate?
    7
  1228. Best that she takes them down with her as she is. MNM is obsolete and dying.
    7
  1229.  @2AMvideo_bandit  Difficult to distinguish between gross incompetence and malice.
    7
  1230.  @vmm5163  British royalty is irrelevant to their politics, how is that hard for you to understand? Do you fret over the Kardashian's? I don't even know what they look like, random celebrities BORE ME for GOOD REASON.
    7
  1231. If not for government restrictions, direct Starlink to cell phone service would already be available, at least for texting.
    7
  1232. He wasn't lying when bragging about getting Ukrainian prosecutor canned over investigation involving his boy.
    7
  1233. Madcow (and others) absolutely ABSURD taking "51st State" thing seriously. 😂
    7
  1234. IDK, they didn't just start it and don't seem to give a damn about economic consequences and so on.
    7
  1235.  @douggherkin  He has only referenced his personal experience, not general video, etc. I agree it's hard to imagine he has no idea about that stuff but he has a hell of a lot going on that really matters to him. Alien super civilizations aren't his or our immediate concern, if they can GET HERE they can do whatever they like, we are powerless. It's like fretting over God's intentions, pointless.
    7
  1236. He doesn't even know he's "president" NOW.
    7
  1237. Of course he was, that's what they do.
    7
  1238.  @TheQuack-t5t  Guilty of what specifically? Everything were misdemeanors with expired statue of limitations. How did they manage to massage them into felonies? And guilty of ALL 34?? Does that not make you suspicious?
    7
  1239. YEAH but he has carbon offsets in your reduced consumption
    7
  1240. And that's the least of it. Could be she wasn't even aware but it's becoming increasingly difficult to believe it wasn't an inside job at some level.
    7
  1241. Reporters know nothing about everything.
    7
  1242. God is Great??? Doesn't seem great to ME.
    7
  1243.  @billybrown7953  With right load, buckshot say. Also best in terms of avoiding collateral damage.
    7
  1244. Depending on the frequency and duration of the "pulses" I would think that could drive the passengers batty if they were conscious.
    7
  1245. Since when did markets price based on PAST fundamentals!!! But much of The Street is beginning to GET what us dumb retailers have been banging on about for YEARS.
    7
  1246. You are F'n clueless, he has said ALL ALONG what he said here! Did you just learn who he is?
    7
  1247.  @machtschnell7452  So much for free enterprise, hmmm?
    7
  1248. Only fools disrespect this pay package, he would get ZERO without stock outperformance. Not a problem for this investor.
    7
  1249. He's still sandbagging based on HIS expectations of probably 1.6M deliveries.
    7
  1250. Do you know anything about him or are you just here to announce your loser status?
    7
  1251. Like most "far Right Conspiracy theories", they prove correct. We need a raft of new conspiracy theories as all the rest are no longer theories.
    7
  1252. Never seen him happier, did you even bother watching and LISTENING??
    7
  1253.  @GENKI_INU  If you are in your seventies you aren't going to rebuild the life you lost to fire. Big respect for those deciding to stay, not risk free but nothing is. Better still to be prepared with 1.5" water supply lines and 1.5" surplus fire hoses that are vastly more effective than a garden hose. I live next door to the 2017 burned down town of Paradise, took yrs just to remove the debris, yrs to get permits, etc. It's maybe 20% rebuilt nearing a decade later now. I have fire refugees on my street, all have given up on fantasy of rebuilding, some living in travel trailers. (Paradise fire was heavily forested and U couldn't stay and fight it, not a chance)
    7
  1254. This IS the true face of the Left, not just in Canada but globally.
    7
  1255.  @willisswenson3843  I'd actually recommend "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand....to anyone, but seems bit silly to think anyone would take that advice here. Have you read it? No one want's to read my diatribe 'book' on any topic in these threads.
    7
  1256. It's the cheap thoughtless version, disruption, innovation and productivity are vastly more effective.
    7
  1257. Meanwhile 200 have already perished on US roads, 10X more left with life altering injuries. Situation normal.
    7
  1258. Trouble is both the FAA and US aerospace in general have apparently gone DEI, you won't escape the dangers that easily.
    7
  1259. Just got sorted out. Since when was government efficient and effective?
    7
  1260. To be fit and reality based is far Right extremism....and I always thought I was Centrist, but OK.
    7
  1261. We have it.
    7
  1262.  @gideonfyah1  Defense can typically be accomplished by physical restraint.
    7
  1263.  @lawrencehalpin6611  Folks road trip Teslas across the nation all the time, in fact now that they drive themselves--many can't imagine doing it any other way. True it may add an hr to a 10hr trip if U are one to want to drive near nonstop that long.
    7
  1264. Smiled at the spilling of spaghetti of hoses with due derision. "Nightmare" is not too strong a term for what I'm looking at here. This is not going to be low maintenance.
    7
  1265. Double hood latches make a lot of sense to me , allows hood to become somewhat of a structural element for crash worthiness. And it means a better stiffer connection of hood to car for daily use, feels right to latch it down solidly on BOTH SIDES. (my better old BMW has double, inspires confidence with two heavy laches, 4-point connection instead of 2-1/2 like most cars, Polstar appears the same)
    7
  1266. Clearly but cred for some of their tech. Hope they survive but hard to see how.
    7
  1267. BEVs will be 80% plus by 2030 IMhO. No fan of saving legacy auto, let them die it's healthy creative destruction.
    7
  1268. Somehow this was a captivating review in what should have been a boring topic. Well done guys n galls. :D Only missed the trunk area.
    7
  1269. Even tho aesthetics should take the back seat--that thing is too hideous to park in my drive.
    7
  1270. Your Walfart shoes wore out on the way home from that horrible store.
    7
  1271.  @weldon703  He found out, lesson learned. 😁
    7
  1272. Relatively obedient--only told him "get on the ground!" a couple times and he did.
    7
  1273. Thanks AOC--your side has converted me from lifelong "Centrist", Libertarian leaning, complex, to simply anti-Leftist for the rest of my life.
    7
  1274. Trivial but he meant 4000 hp not 400. (each V-12 around 2k hp)
    7
  1275. Quite a bind they earn their way into.
    7
  1276.  @carmiethompson2676  Yeah this sort of shameful garbage is celebrated here in Commifortia.
    7
  1277.  @bcbp14  Particularly disgusted with my own Commifornia. If it weren't for the natural landscape that I'm so attatched to: Pristine High Sierras, giant redwoods, and all the rest (credit to Left leanings for helping preserve those with the glaring exception of fire mismanagement)--I'd be looking to move to a freer state. I literally can't tolerate flatlands, depressing to me, plus I grow everything from apples to avocadoes, not many places I can duplicate that.
    7
  1278.  @donquixote1502  There are some good sources available, I suggest Timcast IRL but you are still going to have to make the effort to think for yourself You can't escape that necessity of life and expect to thrive. The establishment has been telling you what to believe, spoon feeding you, that's not going to end well if you can't see thru it.
    7
  1279. Mr. T. is disqualifying himself in my eyes, DeSantis record is much better anyway.
    7
  1280.  @jimskarw25  "Some things are priceless." (Elon when talking about Twit worth less than half what he paid for it)
    7
  1281.  @TheodoreDane  I took his comment as entirely general, not specific to this particular example, there was no relativism involved there, Good GRIEF.
    7
  1282.  @southerncatlady6680  No she didn't.
    7
  1283. Assault on everything good that matters starting w Meritocracy, integrity, productivity, anti-fragile, courage....
    7
  1284. Google search is also highly corrupted and should be avoided.
    7
  1285. And the solution here is SO simple--big fast snowplows have just been idled in the Sierras for the season, hrs away and would fix this in minutes.
    7
  1286. As compared to J6? Point being that this would be generally called that if it were a MAGA gathering.
    7
  1287. Too the USA turned a natural ally into an enemy by installing that hated dictator back in the '50's.
    7
  1288.  @T0198  Torx bolts are for a damn good reason--they are far superior to the always strip prone allens they replace and they are uniform across industries with common tools, if adding a set of torx bits to your socket sets overwhelms you then you have no biz DIYing anyway.
    7
  1289. Where is the compare to other plants? These folks aren't working there by force.
    7
  1290.  @htaukkyanmyo4437  It's a complicated problem that money alone WILL NOT solve. Vast majority are substance abusers, you could give them all homes for free and those properties will be effectively destroyed within a yr. But we need to cut ALL SPENDING or we're in deep trouble. Military spending is extremely inefficient (what government spending isn't), we could get a lot more for our buck.
    7
  1291.  @kvnyegvmp  Links? Not interested in rumors and random ascertions.
    7
  1292. Neanderthals are more successful NOW than they ever were, genetically speaking.
    7
  1293.  @stephaniefogelvik4756  "A priest’s daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death." (Leviticus 21:9 NAB) --not just murder it's slow roasting over a fire, imagine that. "If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, “You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord.” When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through." (Zechariah 13:3 NAB) "But if this charge is true (that she wasn’t a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father’s house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst." (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB) "The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: ‘Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death."(Exodus 31:12-15 NLT) Must I continue? There's a LOT more where that came from. Is that where you get your moral code?
    7
  1294.  @goldencalf5144  Doing so to make a dramatic point against them makes more sense than anytime since the 1930's/40's. What a clueless comment.
    7
  1295. Did they go ESG, DEI and the like too? lol
    7
  1296. How about granting lot owners extension of property to river edge? "Yes you lose the lake but you double your acreage." Not a complete reimbursement immediately but long term as the river area recovers it's beauty.
    7
  1297. It will be a beautiful river again before folks remember to chill out, lol.
    7
  1298. Reporters have never understood anything beyond ball sports and the weather, always been scientifically illiterate and easy to dupe.
    7
  1299. If they had the eyes and fingers left to type the change.
    7
  1300. Many of us were, been clamoring for this for decades.
    7
  1301. City boys obviously, no experience with ordinary wilderness situations.
    7
  1302. Highest quality problem in history.
    7
  1303. Amazing that such an invention didn't happen many centuries earlier, probably because the Catholic Church murdered prior innovators wholesale.
    7
  1304.  @garverzello8085  I sent a college engineering homework in on FAX across the country for $10 and it was a hit in the engineering office because they had never seen it done before for homework....that was around 1990.
    7
  1305. "The Bird is Freed" That along with the Twitter logo is a T-shirt for sure.
    7
  1306. Ton of less noisy ppl are considering a Tesla for the first time, wouldn't be surprised if Elon/DOGE increases sales. DOGE has got to be popular IMO.
    7
  1307. First two are different category but fair, Ford already vastly eclipsed...respectfully to Henry.
    7
  1308.  @wb1340  I like the cancelled degree concept. I worked my way thru engineering degree, took longer than most would find acceptable and tuition was lower then but I never even thought about loans.
    7
  1309. It's on those who live hand to mouth and make consistently bad financial choices. "If you can't pay for it twice in cash, U can't afford it." The rule to live by for ALL discretionary purchases, a new car is always discretionary, buy a cheap used that U can afford, making payments is usually a bad idea.
    7
  1310. This is what happens when the sheep allow themselves to be manipulated by irrational fear, pathetic. I started off neutral about Kim Jong Newsom, now I want his hide.
    7
  1311.  @janeydoe7417  So you've got NOTHING, hmmm? I don't have time for children's games Sport.
    7
  1312.  @janeydoe7417  If you have something to say PLEASE DO SO. Sheesh.
    7
  1313. It seemed to be the final straw yes, that's the joke here.
    7
  1314. That footage is from I-80 between Sacramento and Reno, Eastbound--multiple long stretches of 6% plus grade from a few hundred ft altitude to 8000 (not super steep), typical semis do around 35mph up and not much faster DOWNHILL due to risk of over working brakes, while car traffic can be doing 80mph plus. I've never had much of a problem with it nor seen any close calls over decades of traversing the Sierras there in part due to semis rarely passing eachother and double or triple lanes. (with exceptions of winter snow)
    7
  1315. Reopen as Chinese brands hopefully.
    7
  1316. Best side effect of this transition is the doom of UAW, IG-Metal and unions in general.
    7
  1317. Been obvious for yrs that Tesla is going to be the savior of German auto industry. (or one of, better bring in the Chinese)
    7
  1318. Nope. Impractical for most folks, limited storage, tricycles totally suck and solar is near useless on a car except for camping. And it will be too expensive. Cute college project tho.
    7
  1319. Farley was having some fun--while he can, he knows a yr from now F will be forgotten, lol. Nothing wrong with that and credit for producing a handful of trucks.
    7
  1320. And yet there exists significant extreme vitriol toward Elon from progressives across the nation. Says a lot about, not only small minds in general, (yes some strong childish hate from the far Right too) but about progressives, you are not allowed independent thoughts and billionaire=BAAAAD. Most of the open bigotry is from the Left today.
    7
  1321.  @donjohnstone3707  Baloney. Competition is all it takes, and we are going to see that again like never in half a century. Government can only make everything worse and more expensive. The Big Three were trimmed to size when Japanese brands 1st came and Chinese and Tesla will see them bankrupt or close and GOOD RIDDANCE. Creative destruction is what makes us prosperous and more advanced. 25% tariffs on pickups, and similar is the problem.
    7
  1322. Tesla will go a long way toward saving German auto industry, maybe BYD too.
    7
  1323. Also there is simply less interest as no one cares about GM while anything about Tesla get's attention.
    7
  1324. TSLA is up 50% yr over yr. 30 to 60% declines have happened every yr for last 5 yrs, situation normal. Tesla thriving and majority in USA love what Elon is doing.
    7
  1325. To say Li batts only last about 4 hrs in nonsense, they can last 4 weeks without recharging depending on the load vs batt size.
    7
  1326. Speaks to gross inefficiency, Tesla is profitable at 140k total employees globally, BYD breaks even.
    7
  1327. Geiko the most half assed, badly run insurance Co. ever. That's an unintended Cybertruck endorsement.
    7
  1328. To me it's a much bigger deal than the CT. Not only to smash the skeptics but also proof of economics, one can argue that a personal vehicle has significant emotional element but truckers will hardcore stick to the numbers. An entirely new sector to conquer.
    7
  1329. Everyone at the company must be complicit at some level. Not that many should be criminally responsible but they had to know what was going on.
    7
  1330. If they can manage to overcome their toxic union mentality they can do far better working for Tesla, most won't be able to I suspect. Excess job opportunities in the trades in general however.
    7
  1331. Surely GM rivals Toy in terms of false promises.
    7
  1332.  @johnwenzel2003  And it's crucial.
    7
  1333. Initially they may significantly increase new M3 price in order to incentivize moving the old versions, or further reduce price of old units. (ooops...then you said same thing)
    7
  1334. Call it a wash legally. Punk definitely had it coming, it's all good.
    7
  1335. Those are not tragedies. These folks are smart to attack any intruders, it's the only reason they still exist.
    7
  1336. +SaphireGaming You don't suppose they saw that he needed medical attention do you? As tho they are going to remove every witness talking to a reporter??? Get real.
    7
  1337. So that fixes the problem no doubt.
    7
  1338. mar gz It's completely ridiculous to hate all Catholics. We (some of us) simply loath the evil empire that the Vatican and Church have ALWAYS been. A force of pure immorality from day one to the present, the Vatican should have been bombed during WW2 but now it's time to sue it into oblivion. That doesn't mean there aren't some fine individuals who happen to be affiliated with it at a lower level, some of my best most respected friends are devout Catholics by accident.
    7
  1339. Most of them anyway, any large chunks of flack can't be reasonably shielded against.
    7
  1340. And that was the slogan that trashed the West. Prior to that simplistic toxic dogma, ranchers, loggers, and before that, Natives would burn it seasonally so we never got to the treacherous conditions we have today with fuel building for decades until catastrophe is inevitable.
    7
  1341. Ultra regulated Texas lost out on the Giga Factory I'm happy to know.
    7
  1342.  @andrewelo  I believe that's from USA life insurance company statistics.
    7
  1343.  @bobbuliniusbotulismus7129  IDK the data here but if you feel it doesn't apply to YOU bc your not a footballer?? I have nothing to say.
    7
  1344.  @SMGJohn  What's your alternative and give some examples where it's superior?
    7
  1345. Nearly a factor of ten more costly to operate than 'expected' is certainly a major fail in THAT respect. NASA is inherently grossly inefficient at building any large system in part due to perverse necessity to have some nut or bolt built in every congressional district in the nation. They need to stick to building exploration probes and such not build STS or any launch systems now that privateers have proven to be 5 to 10X more cost effective.
    7
  1346. I'd sure hope not, that would be even sadder.
    7
  1347.  @aceman1126  What's your point? Easier? Since when was life fare, get over it.
    7
  1348. Men are also single by choice.
    7
  1349. Completely out of the loop here but I back anyone properly taking on the Establishment, and parody/humor in general. ("'Leftists don't have humor bc there is always an element of truth in humor and Left can't handle, isn't based on reality.'")
    7
  1350.  @tonymcdonnly6492  I sure wouldn't know bc I have little time for Hollywood or it's products.
    7
  1351. Do you want to hear him talk about his dog or family??
    6
  1352. How did Putin's Poodle get in here??
    6
  1353. Same thing that's been going on for yrs but MSN finally can't or won't any longer cover for him.
    6
  1354. This makes Nixon look like a piker. Watergate is joke compared to this.
    6
  1355. There are other states w similar sense but less publicized, some with small population. Montana, Wyoming, N. Dakota, most of Texas, Nevada... One of the best attributes of America is competition between states, testing of policies, some fail and must correct due to others doing better.
    6
  1356. Elon barely got any unless your talking about Space X.
    6
  1357. They had to resort to serving road kill and stray dog meat since the markets and supply chains destroyed.
    6
  1358. It was true yrs ago, you weren't prophetic.
    6
  1359. Police are never there until after. (w rare exceptions)
    6
  1360. Mental confusion is not directly linked to Parkinson's, Joe has much more serious problems.
    6
  1361. Dad died of Parkinson's and it's NOT Biden's primary problem, he shows signs of that too but my dad could carry on highly intelligent conversations even when his head was going in circles from lack of motor control. Dad was much deeper into Parkinson's then JB and still lucid.
    6
  1362. He sold a video game he created from scratch when he was 12, coded endlessly mid '90's for his internet startups, is in charge of some of the most cutting edge software on Earth w Tesla autonomous systems....
    6
  1363. He's no where near that rich but Twit 2.0 will have wide reaching consequences including such as a YouTube competing vid feature.

  1364. Of course he's withstood vastly greater pressure--imagine being responsible for billions of investors money while Tesla was on the verge of failing for 3 straight yrs getting their first mass production car ramped up...he slept on factory floor to be awoke at any moment to solve problems so all could see he was taking it worse then they were.
    6
  1365.  @gwennwright  There should be major repercussions beyond just "throw the bums out", real litigious consequences. Justice for the sake of future deterrence for trampling on civil rights and causing more harm than good. At least in the USA, but I don't see it happening.
    6
  1366. Endless models from "competition" with very limited production.
    6
  1367.  @cowboy7526  But all that has nothing to do with Kamala being a commune ist, her own words confirm that.
    6
  1368. Comrade Kamala.

  1369. This is about where they are incorporated in which is different, they moved headquarters to TX. Traditionally some 80% of US Corps have done so in Delaware, that seems to be rapidly changing.

  1370. I'd be thrilled to have just him as president for 8 yrs.

  1372. If only we had banned kitchen knives this would never happen.
    6
  1373.  @C7r3w9jvg  Do you understand the difference between public lynching and the legal process? I realize the USA is now a certified Banana Republic but some of us still have principles.
    6
  1374. Same here. Got the saw first over 5 yr.s ago, then blower, hedge trimmer and finally mower a couple yr.s ago probably weed wacker next.
    6
  1375. Does it make it easier (intellectually LAZY) for you to deal with an opinion by labeling it one way or the other? Who cares who is more this or that, deal with the facts.
    6
  1376. Elon and original partner DID start Tesla it had nothing before them, not a prototype, not the name not even a business plan. Nothing but the notion of building something.
    6
  1377. Literally 100MX worse.
    6
  1378. It's happening, need not be completely gone to be effectively gone.

  1379. Easy come easy go. She didn't earn it on the upside. Still pretty, she should consider being a good housewife if it's not already too late.

  1380. Never liked Mr. T., still don't, but I'll support him this time around and laugh my ass off if/when he wins and the Leftist Lunatics meltdown.
    6
  1381. Many old hippies are some of the most hardcore Capitalist you'll ever meet, but THEY got ahead the hard way.
    6
  1382. Usually you do, and he's not stupid, smarter than average but even the smartest get things way wrong. This is why we can't avoid the necessity of thinking for ourselves.
    6
  1383. Definitely teenage behavior.
    6
  1384.  @TheWormzerjr  "SOON", we've been hearing that for 2000 yr.s and counting and most of history was far tougher than today in the West. Get a grip on reality.
    6
  1385. You can't take innate nature out of them, training has limits. These folks aren't choosing a Pit over an Irish Setter for nothing.
    6
  1386. Given thumbs up to about half a dozen copies of this already. :D :D
    6
  1387. The yoke is rubbish for DRIVING, it may look cool but I have to be able to spin a round wheel in my hands. To some--rectangular road tires and wheels would look cool too.
    6
  1388. Tesla should eventually come up with a "police special" that would (naturally) include performance and top end limitations to give the rest of us an edge, they don't need to go that fast anyway.
    6
  1389. This was very "lucky" already. Success this time is clearing the pad.
    6
  1390. Exactly. And I hope the clothing didn't upset the tigers stomachs.
    6
  1391.  @cat-le1hf  The one's I've known do real work for their prosperous contractor dad, farm, ranch, lumber yard, etc.... with no slack for the kids, most dad's are extra demanding of their own boys. I think you are living in a fantasy land that fits your poverty mentality.
    6
  1392. How about standing up and taking full responsibility for their own employment? --aka., start their own business, it's fucking difficult employing ungrateful low value slackers while being punished by the state with payroll taxes that increase with wages. Perhaps that's exactly what you were getting at? IDK
    6
  1393.  @CobisTaba  Some "mistakes" (calculated political actions) are forgivable and others are NOT.
    6
  1394. A parade for the victim should be seriously considered.
    6
  1395.  @xxrodrmanxx  Mainly in cities. A taxi will ALWAYS be a nuisance if not completely useless in a rural setting. If I want to drive 40 minutes to go swimming in a remote stretch of river, hike or whatever, I don't know when I'm going to ready to leave on either end and what's a taxi going to do? Drive each way twice or park and wait for a couple hrs?...maybe that would be OK on standby all day if it's cheap enough. If you own a business like I do, vehicle is your billboard, it's equipped especially for your needs and so on. What if we have an emergency--wait half an hour for a taxi to get to us? Granted most do live in soul crushing cities these days.
    6
  1396. Most are clueless and don't care about reality, it's ALL about getting our attention, nothing else matters to most reporters.
    6
  1397.  @TecnamTwin  I just tossed in that bit of history as reminder to us all, Ipace given ton of accolades in the press, car of the yr or whatever, and Chanos talking "Porsche is coming".
    6
  1398.  @Liquoricilicious  Huh? What's your point?
    6
  1399.  William Crawford  Cars are in general and this one a lot more than average. I didn't even think about it until my home was paid off along with everything else and you can't afford it if you can't pay cash up front IMO, with significant reserves leftover. That's true for any car beyond bare necessity.
    6
  1400. Maybe in that instance but Cali is running people out due to excess regulations and expensive, wasteful practices. Too much nanny state and too much bureaucratic empire building. The good thing about having 'states rights' is that there is automatically competition between states, when one becomes excessively onerous to do efficient business in (for example) others will take those businesses and tend to compel the loser state to clean up it's act. And we get to see how an experiment in one state works out before it becomes more widely adopted.

    6
  1404.  @tyronmegawatts6580  I'm bit of a petrol head, crotch rockets of my youth to 'old fangled' BMW M3 with screaming 9k revving V8 today. Petrol is still crucial and I hope to be able to afford it in 2030, but for the 1st time since the automobile took American streets, the cost per mile changes, will drop by 4X (roughly--depending on local petrol vs electric costs) and you just plug in at home happy to never visit a gas station nor oil change or other maintenance. Mid class and lower will be chief beneficiaries of reduced transport costs.

    6
  1409.  T teg Egg  Controlling the narrative and (unfortunately effectively) controlling the conclusions common ppl believe...like COVID started in the USA! Apparently the ppl believe that racket.
    6
  1410.  @dinsilkhannaz7696  Yes they get most of the credit but it's farmers breaching cop barriers in tractors and everyone else pitching in. As a "native Commifornian" I'm totally on board with this.
    6
  1411.  @imthatjay  Truth is I'm out of touch with popular entertainment. I've been drawn to reality based material for many yr.s.

  1412. As tho she was ever in danger, it's just a funny story that doesn't happen everyday.
    6
  1413. As American it's complicated, I don't like the animosity between friends and beyond a funny joke I don't like "51st state" rhetoric. But tariffs to counter/reduce tariffs can be justified.

  1414. Pepsi claims they saved $200k over 3 yrs for each Tesla they run. And none of their drivers want to go back to weak crappy diesels.

    6
  1416. Sore loser much? 40 current PE and 20 forward is stupid cheap. It will rise to reality one of these months and see another 5X.
    6
  1417. Why?

  1418.  @DdoubleU979  Degree not even required, just some valuable skills combined with integrity, work ethics and continuously pushing comfort zones.

  1424. Real competition is only coming out of China.
    6
  1425. GM unveiled 25 new BEV models late last yr! Oh...wait--that's what Mary BS Barra said but it's been long forgotten.
    6
  1426. Many have been since the $300's.
    6
  1427. 'Everyone' keeps using auto MFGs as comps which is the same as comparing Amazon to Barnes and Nobel in the late 1990's. THAT is why this rare enormous opportunity exists with TSLA today.
    6
  1428. I agree with your primary thrust but strictly speaking--listen to all intelligent opinions especially those that challenge your preconceived notions
    6
  1429. Clueless.
    6
  1430. What's wrong is your understanding of markets, one day means nothing.
    6
  1431. Much bigger problem is they can't produce them at scale, none of them can, Chinese are the only ones with a shot at it. "Everyone has EVs but Tesla is SELLING EVs." (Cramer) And who is actually making money on EVs besides Tesla, certainly not the legacies.
    6
  1432. Did he offend your religion? What did he say that is not true?
    6
  1433. This is a rare, exciting entertaining situation kids, likely once in a life time. Stay tuned and I'll stay long for now. :D
    6
  1434. They replace ultra expensive, relatively slow responding "peaker plants" and stabilize the grid, responding faster than anything else can, nearly instantaneously.
    6
  1435. Small town especially can be like that (not sure their sitution but...). I grew up in very small isolated American town with a totally brutal renegade PD.
    6
  1436. 40,000 die every yr on American roads, this is ONLY mentioned because it's Tesla, never mind it was apparently driven in extremely reckless fashion. Truth is Tesla is the safest car on the road and AP makes it vastly more safe still.
    6
  1437. As fatalities approach zero for autonomous, and they will sometime this decade, you might reconsider. This is not a Tesla story so far, it's a reckless human story.
    6
  1438. Quite the "dining experience" for sure, pricy for someone.
    6
  1439.  @GT-wj3gl  Are you F'n kidding ?? Mars is going to be a million times harder to live on then Antarctica is today, even if we have a nuclear holocaust or anything else that's actually likely to happen, Earth will be so vastly better than Mars it's hilarious.
    6
  1440. Energy break even, or even a gain, says nothing about economic break even which is equally necessary and much further away.
    6
  1441. Wow. A lot of needless excess labor.
    6
  1442. Agree except for "billionaire philanthropist", IDK what's categorically wrong with those qualities.
    6
  1443.  @The_Resistance_1961  Impotence signaling. To try to talk to her almost equally insane.
    6
  1444.  @Joe-by8jh  He certainly craves it for himself. I wouldn't care if he's Castro's boy except genetics plays a roll in everything we are, including propensity for violence, tyrannical tendencies, ethics, everything.
    6
  1445.  @leecrumble3921  Wow. Thanks for informing us all about that, who knew.
    6
  1446. Yeah actually you can.
    6
  1447.  @osiris1741  She was a sworn member of a Castro Communist organization, simple FACT. She made 15 trips with the group over 15 yrs to Cuba, met and praised Castro. ETC.
    6
  1448.  @bibinarriema3126  I don't think that's what it means, more like he's seeking similar character qualities.
    6
  1449. I started off neutral on him but he's earned my complete contempt. This example is astoundingly childish and stupid.
    6
  1450. Most will not actually leave Twitter, it's too big a source of validation for them, but they are pissed that the blue thing won't be exclusive anymore.
    6
  1451.  @will-vp9ng  Maybe if it's successful and becomes a trend.
    6
  1452.  @ingridluyt7538  No argument from me and consensus has no biz in science. However the IPCC as of a few yrs ago concluded the following: "Humans have had no detectable impact on hurricanes over past century" (might broaden that to extreme weather events in general) "Greenland's Ice sheet isn't shrinking any more rapidly today than it was eighty yrs ago." "The net economic impact of human-induced climate change will be minimal through at least the end of this century." (((source: Steven E. Koonin, a science adviser for Obama, his book "Unsettled ?" pg. 2)))
    6
  1453.  @98765-j  Those cities offer incentives to attract many businesses because they understand it pays off for them. Too cocky? Based on what? Establishment filtered propaganda? Tune into him directly if you care to understand him, he's actually incredibly humble in most respects, sure he has conviction in his own mind but as he often says--"Trying to be less wrong."
    6
  1454. She should know, she was part of in, no?
    6
  1455. I hope y'all DEMAND justice for everyone of those thugs, otherwise this is just the beginning.
    6
  1456. Nothing new, he's been doing the same for 4 plus yrs.
    6
  1457. Canadians are PISSED at the thought of Trudeau as governor of 51st State of Canada.
    6
  1458. True, but not as much of it as he should. 2 attempts on Elon in last 8 months.
    6
  1459. He won't live that long anyway. Dude is walking (stumbling) cadaver.
    6
  1460.  @takethat941  He has consistently vilified half the nation, even when his brain half worked. "The great untiter."
    6
  1461. Biden and American Left deserve every bit of this, but what about Aussie fiascos and authoritarianism?
    6
  1462.  @harrison00xXx  So you've got nothing, just making crap up to suit your preconceived notions also based on NOTHING.
    6
  1463.  @FlorentHenry  Almost trivial amount lost but BEV batts will be recycled endlessly also with tiny losses.
    6
  1464. Apparently a ton is "used" in oil refining but very little is lost, on the order of one pound cobalt for 6M miles of driving. Cobalt steels are mainly used in cutting/machine tools, that would include automotive production but tiny amounts per car. Regardless BEVs are vastly 'cleaner' even without CO2 considerations. (I don't fear CO2)
    6
  1465. They terminate this vid with appropriate brief perspective on that. Battery metals will be endlessly recycled.
    6
  1466.  @murmenaattori6  Could be but silicosis is pretty much guaranteed with enough exposure and no better. It's the reason such as water flushed drilling became the norm for Western mining over a century ago.
    6
  1467. Unfortunately, if they escape myriad of immediately fatal circumstances underground, they will all suffer horrible early death from silicosis.
    6
  1468. All powerful equals ALL RESPONSIBLE. Everything is God's fault.

  1469. Common for folks to get tired of watching after hrs of airshow and not be paying constant attention, especially if you've seen similar many times before. She probably looked after it was nothing but dust in the air to see.
    6
  1470. From USA...we have extra gas, pun intended....sending with love. :D
    6
  1471. That said, this captn a scary example of cavalier ineptitude.
    6
  1472. "Planning production"...ie supporting the stock so they can exit with cash.
    6
  1473. If you treat it like a casino yes. If you know what you are doing and INVEST history says you'll do well, but that requires market savvy and discipline which are not in Robinhooder's vocabulary.
    6
  1474. "Destroying Biden's presidency" is a fat silver lining, I'm sick of him already.
    6
  1475.  @user-sp2yu9zt6h  So can many corrupt Chinese CCP affiliates, drug kingpins, even TRUMP! :D What's your point? Net worth equates to intelligence? I guess Einstein wasn't so smart after all.
    6
  1476. "Could end badly" ...same said everyday for DECADES. Know what you own and why for yrs or decades and ignore the noise.
    6
  1477. Because "discipline trumps conviction", it's plain foolish to be excessively overweight in any one equity for obvious reasons...if your wrong your wiped out.
    6
  1478. AMZN has been "vastly overvalued" for 20 yr.s....in other words-- anyone say'n that was WRONG.
    6
  1479. FSD is saving lives already, making the safest cars on the road significantly safer still. Not that hard to find the data.
    6
  1480. Here's a trite tip Kids: DO THE WORK--DD, take as much time and effort as necessary to know what you own and exactly why and INVEST for yrs. DON'T TRADE or even try for a quick buck and you'll be far better off in a few yrs.
    6
  1481. GM market cap $42B, 'net debt' (debt minus cash) 97B; F Mcap 29B, net debt 137B; TSLA Mcap 400B, net debt 7B. Tesla could wipe out it's net debt with less than 2% dilution stock offering while GM and F have net debt around 2X and 4X market cap!...they are almost zombie companies...dead but still standing.
    6
  1482.  @jestrada614  Consoling herself for missing out not realizing it's just getting started and that it really doesn't matter where it came from, cost basis is utterly irrelevant. Children and markets, lol.
    6
  1483. Only here to enjoy Josh, learned a lonnng time ago to ignore the noise and swings, just ride it out in a few names I have conviction in, a few yrs from now none of this matters.
    6
  1484. Us LT hodlers aren't very fazed by the roller coaster as we have confidence the LT trend is higher. Wimps can do fine in AAPL, AMZN or whatever suits their weaknesses. lol
    6
  1485. Virgin and BO are NOT in that class they haven't gone anywhere near orbit.
    6
  1486. Yeah let's root for the evil Twits and their endlessly deceptive corrupt ways.
    6
  1487.  @coolmodelguy  I started my own contracting biz at 20 with nothing but savings from an underground mine I worked at from 17 to 21. Never looked back never on a payroll again and eventually prospered. But that takes real work, not something you probably ever seriously considered.
    6
  1488.  @bascal133  Support what? I've contracted for "a thousand" companies large and small, I can smell union when I 1st set foot on a plant property, they stink the whole place up making for a rotten work environment.
    6
  1489. Infection rate be damned--we can't afford anymore shut ins, folks can get vaccinated or take their chances.
    6
  1490. "Poorly timed" as in the glut of new offerings right now, that's an opportunity kids.
    6
  1491.  @TimothyParker1  As a shareholder it's healthy to tune into the bear cases anyway. They were instrumental in giving me the final dose of conviction to go "all in" May/June of 2019 and have transferred a modest fortune to me. :D
    6
  1492. The more CCP "maintains control" the less competitive their Co.s will be internationally. Seems they are becoming increasingly paranoid and for some good reasons.
    6
  1493.  @MajorrBison  Will they be competitive tho? We heard the same thing about F, VW, Porsche, Jag, GM, but when price to specifications are closely compared none are in the same league with Tesla--SO FAR. Turns out it's harder than expected to duplicate what T. has accomplished.
    6
  1494. But look at all those fenced items on the sidewalk for 80% off the price when they were when shoplifted last week.
    6
  1495. Nader doesn't give a damn his policies will kill additional traveling public. Boeing F'ed up but so did the pilots especially the 2nd crash which any responsible pilot would have read Boeing's bulletin they'd been extra aware of a procedure they are already expected to be proficient at--TURNING OFF the system and flying the plane manually. Nader has no idea what he's talking about, the planes didn't stall and the fix is not difficult, the planes are fundamentally safe with this one serious correctable flaw.
    6
  1496. There are plenty "clumping" varieties that don't spread like this, I intend to acquire a couple types. My childhood home had the invasive type and they were a problem, probably still are.
    6
  1497. How is that contradictory? Unions are toxic to the entire work place, only the worthless need or want a union the rest can negotiate their own terms.
    6
  1498.  @yuluoxianjun  Maybe just respecting Japan in this instance.
    6
  1499. This is nothing compared to much of what CNN stands for, they should dissolve the entire obscene organization.
    6
  1500. What comes around goes around. (we said back in the 1980's)
    6
  1501. They care no more about their own than anyone else. Life under Islam is dirt cheap.
    6
  1502. If they can escape and make it here to Commifornia they will be welcomed with a parade.
    6
  1503. Apparently they aren't "trying" to destroy us, it would seem a trivial exercise for this level of tech advantage.
    6
  1504. It was in the process of falling into the water due to FLW's flawed engineering and lack of adequate rebar in crucial cantilevered sections, extra rebar that the builder advocated but arrogant Write rejected. Repairs were made to save it. Not to pick on FLW but architects are not engineers and should know their limitations.
    6
  1505. As a farmer--"Compost your enemies." Wouldn't bother me if the criminal population was reduced "organically".
    6
  1506. And moving out of cities.
    6
  1507.  @AldoVanucci1966  How exactly is any other PU more useful? Payload, bed space, towing cap., off roading, operating cost, passenger accommodations, software....anything you can come up with?
    6
  1508. I wonder about raising meal worms, crickets or even earth worms as supplemental feed, trout certainly eat that sort of thing in the wild. Grasshoppers make excellent fishing bait.
    6
  1509.  @humanityrising9378  Amazing you think a jet engine can work in a vacuum....too be expected I guess given all the other bullshit you ingested without a critical thought.
    6
  1510. And many or most are paid. I know that sounds unlikely but apparently true
    6
  1511. Even JP doesn't seem to get the fact that Elon bought the dumpster fire bc he truly believes the 1st Amendment is crucial for continued existence of the USA, it's NOT about business 1st but must be self sufficient, aka. profitable and 2nd he wants to created something great out of it.
    6
  1512. Norway has gone over 90% BEVs for new vehicles, they do fine there. I used to spend 30 minutes warming up my 1-ton service truck to thaw it out on a 20F morning, a Tesla can do that in 10 minutes on pre-scheduled basis or phone app, don't even need go out to vehicle. Yes BEVs lose some range, maybe 20% for a Tesla, in very cold conditions, so do ICE cars including the warmup time, running while not moving to keep warm, etc. None of that justifies mandates however, let the darn market decide, the trajectory is clear.
    6
  1513.  @MatthewBerginGarage  Model Y is best seller globally, vast majority to individual owners. Governments aren't that smart, they always lag, but police are beginning to use Teslas bc they are so much better and save some $5k/yr on fuel and maintenance, quiet and stay climate controlled and powered indefinitely while parked.
    6
  1514.  @cesilpreston  IDK about UK in particular, globally it's definitely growing as % of new car sales. Vast majority in America will never go back to ICE from BEV. Exceptions for those who can't charge at home and a few outliers. I'd be insane to choose a new Camry, or similar, over a Tesla Model 3. If one bought at peak in 2020ish, they definitely saw accelerated depreciation, demand drove prices high and Tesla plus Chinese brands are advancing rapidly, offering better for less, that's not great if a car is an "investment" but it's great for new buyers. Cars aren't investments anyway, they are pricy liabilities. Car sales are way down in general, so make sure U are comparing % of new sales, not absolute numbers.
    6
  1515.  @bob15479  I imagine it's also out of necessity, he's got a lot more important things to do than make vids.
    6
  1516.  @lockbert99  Their website had several vehicles that didn't exist or didn't work--quad, jet ski, Badger, they tried to make the quad look like it was turning up the dirt...all hilarious at the time. And then all the BS about H fueling, IDK at what point it rises to legal fraud nor do I care, only idiot gamblers (or in the case of those who traded it quickly, smarter gamblers) got involved and they'd lose their spare change one way or another anyway.
    6
  1517.  @lockbert99  So all the misleading CGI pretending to be real REAL products didn't concern you? How about the pusher that "wasn't a pusher", don't recall anyone at Nikola countering Trevor's blatant lies. What wasn't a scam about it ?
    6

  1519.  @Cloxxki  Price of batts has gone from around $100k to $10k in that decade and charging speed greatly increased along with longevity. Only significant problem I see for long range semis is batt mass, everything else should be relatively easy.
    6
  1520. Probably will turn out to be.
    6
  1521.  @rickdees251  I think Sandy might be wrong about the top being cooler, the sides yes because batt materials are NOT isotropic, it's more like a composite with layers of material some which conduct heat better than others so alternating layers would reduce heat flow to the sides but the heat can flow to the ends in the more conductive layers more efficiently. How much diff that makes I have no idea but I like getting rid of that ribbon winding between batts as they have currently. The bottom plate cooling should be a lot simpler, less prone to failure. Also that ribbon goes a long way so the batts at one end are going to be cooled more than at the other end, maybe that can be improved from the bottom. The ribbon takes significant space too.

  1536.  @mattsparks5957  It was far harder IPO to 2018 plus. NEVER been easy, worst thing is to react emotionally, must be cold blooded calculative. (didn't even know that was a word, HA!) AI, FSD, they have momentum along with all the hardware, energy, etc....TSLA is still valuable in the worst case. Just not near as valuable without Musk. Us retailers learn discuss and VOTE, that's our part to worry about. We can't control corrupt courts.

  1541.  @winesap2  Sea level rise has been constant for 200 yrs, if you get your science info from corporate media it's pure drama and propaganda, glaciers were supposed to be gone in Glacier Park last yr, on and on. NONE of the climate models work, NOAA and NASA have resorted to altering the data to fit the propaganda.

  1542.  @muskokamike127  We both said your final point enough times. Not everyone has anywhere near your requirements nor limitations. Would you chose to have the option of the auxiliary power rather than not? Most contractors I know would take the PU with the power as apposed to not even if it doesn't replace the entire jobsite requirements, it still adds options and versatility. And there are a lot more tiny outfits with only a few employees than bigger ones I'd guess. Small housing contractors, service people or in my case a high capacity one man service truck (portable welding shop) would benefit terrifically from not having to run engines all day. Sometimes the exhaust is even a problem and always the noise, maintenance, etc.

    6
  1547.  @angelgjr1999  It's proving to be much more expensive than wind and solar. Solar continues a multi-decade price decline trajectory with no end in sight and already about the cheapest new source available. (hydro aside as it's mostly tapped out)

  1549. A tangent-- Berkshire minimum requirements for acquisitions: (I especially appreciate the last one) "Berkshire has laid out six criteria for acquiring a business. It must be a large purchase, at least $50 million of before-tax earnings. The company must have demonstrated consistent earning power and have businesses earning good returns on equity while employing little or no debt. It also must be a simple business -- Buffett noted that "if there's lots of technology, we won't understand it" -- and management must be in place. Lastly, there has to be an offering price. Berkshire said it will not engage in unfriendly takeovers."

  1557. No defense for a few of Elon's comments here--HOWEVER providing Ukraine with $100M of Starlink internet hardware (free from SpaceX, donated) starting only days after Russian K.O.ed the internet there, arguably much more impactful than some questionable opinions which everyone is free to dismiss. Russia threatened Elon's life for that BTW. Actions speak louder than words.

  1561. Topic idea: Anyone remember the 727 that went way supersonic in a steep dive over the Great Lakes (believe in 1970's)? They accidentally reached much higher cruise alt than 727 designed for and stalled just below mach 1, rolled over, pilot pulled positive Gs while inverted to keep passengers in their seats, instantly going well past mach 1 then fighting to reduce speed they trashed flaps and slats then copilot dropped the landing gear which did the trick, they leveled off around 5k alt and landed safely. Wound up scrapping the aircraft as beyond repair.

  1563. Just not very far.
    6
  1564.  @LloyettaJEwing  A little perspective required here. By far the worst fires in US history were around a century ago and many tree species cannot exist, can't even reproduce without fire including redwoods, it's an unavoidable essential part of the natural cycle and landscape, however--we have not allowed them to burn frequently enough as they historically did (natives burned annually) so the fuel builds to catastrophic levels.

    6
  1571.  @lazymass  Depends on the opportunity cost and likelihood of success. Will it ever exceed the economic potential of indirect fusion when solar panels continue to dramatically decrease in cost and increase in efficiency and are already on par with the cheapest electric gen? I doubt it. Government initiatives like this are defined by inefficiencies and waste and take on a life of their own without regard to economics, often well past obsolescence. Hydrogen fuel is a classic example, gov funds STILL flowing into that when it's been obvious for decades it's never going be remotely cost effective. Vastly leaner, cheaper private fusion projects are in the works.
    6
  1572. Saying Elon is doing this for money is hilarious. YES he needs to make it viable that means creating more than it consumes which means PROFITABE. But this is not a good money deal for him.
    6
  1573. Fossil fuels are 'mined' at huge environmental cost we have long accepted, consumed in a day/wk and only used once. Li batteries last a decade or two, then become high grade ore, profitable to recycle w 90% plus recovery of all metals....over and over....
    6
  1574. Once it becomes as legal as alfalfa there will be NO way any small farm in the wilderness will be profitable unless the taxes are so high as to maintain a black market. You don't see moonshiners anymore. The solution is obvious and simple it's only remnants of a backwards culture with a refer madness mindset that needs to be fully defeated.
    6
  1575. I AM against unions but recognize the right of workers to choose while I choose to avoid them in everyway.
    6
  1576. You don't have to be 'on the spectrum' to fully appreciate what Elon is doing, why and what he stands for. The backlash comes from a very narrow, intellectually immature small minded place. I've calmly queried many who call Elon a psychopath or whatever--NONE have remotely a good reason to back it up. My goal there is to simply challenge them to THINK, rarely do they even really try to defend their hateful emotions.

  1579.  @EldePHX  Gotta fight bailouts, best hope is they are so diminished as to not be "too big to fail"...and we all raise hell. Tad sad to see Big Three go down, but the only way markets can operate efficiently, fast and effective. F has a chance in some diminished form or colab. Rural America few decades ago, we relied on Sears. Now forgotten and not missed, Sears was American Icon since 1900...fell behind new tech and got replaced.
    6
  1580. The importance is not in the form factor but in bringing vehicles into the 21st century: 48V 'architecture', steer by wire, 4 wheel steering, Ethernet control communications....plus 17" max ground clearance, rust proof, performance and sound system never seen in a truck before. (along with all the unique Tesla stuff lk over the air updates and upgrades)
    6
  1581.  @hypotheticalpatriotnews599  Please elaborate.
    6
  1582. It didn't effect me so profoundly perhaps because I was well aware of the potential for failure, it had almost blown up at least a couple time prior. Part of the problem was NASA began to buy their own propaganda as they pretended the risk was similar to an airliner which was always laughable, even the name "Shuttle" was intended to convey safe and routine which rocket launches NEVER were.
    6
  1583. Tulips was an extreme example that doesn't entirely apply, that was more like Bitcoin. Commodities have real use cases and commonly overshoot 2 or 3X either way with market upsets.

  1588. SURE Toy, and solid-state batts, mini fusion reactor, bla bla blaaa.

  1589. Isn't a large portion of that debt "secured" by is products? The problem with that being that the owners of those vehicles may end up way under water and unwilling to pay them off.

  1590. Good to hear, especially that far North with far higher upfront solar costs back then. Should be relatively easy for me here in N. Commifornia lowlands, today.

  1594. No one outside this community knows who Munro is.
    6
  1595. Those incentives are mainly used on ICE, aka., hybrids. Tesla doesn't need them and Elon is against on principle, as he should be. Such also drives essentially all the backlash against EVs. Tesla is competing very well against Chinese options in China, they'll compete even better in N. America even without tariffs. SOME tariffs are needed just to cancel out CCP subsidies. Mr. T is of course overstating his intentions as a bargaining chip.
    6
  1596. That's because you don't understand what's going on or who the two characters involved are.

  1597. Sam should move to Cali, we need more folks like him and family here. 🙂
    6
  1598. Lead acid batts do not catch fire, they can explode mildly, small amount of hydrogen volume, but that's different. (I've blown up 2 over the decades, one from drop of molten steel falling on top, another not tied down and bouncing around off road and arcing on hood, just lifts the lid on batt, no BFD) Sam's explanation makes little sense here.

  1602. Doesn't need to be made out of any particular material, that's silly. But correct otherwise. Start with: "how much energy is available?" Do the shocks on your car get hot? Shocks absorb essentially all that energy dissipated in any suspension. Off road racing vehicles may need small radiators from extreme stroke, frequency and velocity of suspension action, but you've never heard of anyone burning themselves on the wimpiest shock absorber from the worst abuse on normal cars, at most they may get slightly warm. That's a crude measure of energy available, very little reward possible under normal driving, so the system would need to be nearly as inexpensive as regular shocks. Wouldn't look anything like this demo and wouldn't harvest much energy. Cool idea tho.

  1603. Seeking Alfalfa, get it right. ;-)
    6
  1604. 2014 he made ludicrous prediction of 500k deliveries in 2020, minor ruckus on Wall St. about that absurdity--happened. 2019 predicted Y would be highest revenue generator of any car in 2022 and best seller of any car in 2023--both happened. Been way wrong on FSD timing and timing in general, but big picture he's been reliable.

  1606.  @iexist7408  I'd think being a waitress would be facing and overcoming your anxiety, at least some of it. Plus opportunity to meet ppl, get dates if that's what you wanted. U seem plenty attractive enough. "Beautiful?" That's high bar for yourself but also not far from accurate. Attitude, presences, mentality, femininity, energy, curiosity....many factors crucial to real beauty, not just photogenic. Most quality men will take a sweet attentive nice looking girl over an entitled hottie any day.
    6
  1607.  @meeppeep4113  Agreed, the IQ aspect a bit surprising to me but the rest is obvious. A total failure of our school/university systems and NOT the only failure....same goes for mindless "deconstructing Capitalism" notions and a few other areas often noted. Unfortunate that groupthink is so pervasive, should at least be variety.

  1610. Elon has every right but I lean toward the "higher road", accept the criticism and don't stoop to pettiness. It's a hard call really.
    6
  1611. Hope it's not too late. Anti-blasphemy laws many yrs ago looked like the beginning of the end. This is why our US Constitution is so crucial, tho it too must be vigorously defended as we've seen in recent yrs, just having 1A is not enough.

I'm more relaxed NOW knowing folks all over the World are pushing back, then I was watching my fellow Americans initially falling in line like sheep to the slaughter, that's terrifying In the beginning the unknowns warranted a degree of "flight" reaction...but you can't suspend life for yrs and expect civilization to be secure and life is too damn short already. Now I see the push back against mandated vaccines across America! I was born on the tail end of Polio epidemic, I knew prior gen ppl paralyzed by it. Vaccine saved us all from the threat at near zero cost, I'm very pro vacc in general but I'm waiting on this one, forcing others won't make me safer this time.

  1669. He just needs some rainbow garb.
    5
  1670. As farther NorCali lifer--you misspelled Commifornia. Some say we want ever more of this but there's an exodus for Texas.
    5
  1671. Highly alarming that he could be so reflexively extreme authoritarian regardless of his 'reasons' and correction however. First thing I've seen of him that seriously concerns me.
    5
  1672. Inequality is the result of real "social justice" , aka., Meritocracy.
    5
  1673. Reality is beginning to sink in on Wall Street.
    5
  1674. Or HUD? At least both options available after market tho not quite the same as OEM integrated.
    5
  1675. Jim Farley continues to impress me, honesty and candor are rare among legacy CEOs.
    5
  1676. How about simply charging users of other brands an extra 30% say.
    5
  1677.  @pauljmeyer1  Uhmm...yeah sort of. Ford was sort of and asshole tho and not near as impressive a person in general.
    5
  1678. IDK if F and GM will go under but they will likely be severely diminished, but their high debt and legacy obligations--pensions, dealers and such may finish them off. Either way it's good.
    5
  1679. Love your style Sir, one of the best in the biz. :D (including content of course)
    5
  1680. Truck driver shortage in US has been something of a multi-decade thing.
    5
  1681. If I'm any judge of character, and I am , Gordon doesn't believe anything he's saying at this point, it's just his calling card now, he's got nothing other than to be the most negative, animated clown CNBS can find. In a way I'm beginning to admire his unavoidable humility, he seems to have a sense of humor about it all.
    5
  1682. Why does Jim Farley of Ford always remind me of an all hype no substance football coach?
    5
  1683. I accumulated cash in recent months and ready to start buying again with TSLA on top of my list despite having "TOO much" of it already. :D
    5
  1684. Yeah...what fires? Was there a total of 3 globally over a decade while gas cars roast that many per day in America alone?
    5
  1685. Releasing an earthquake sooner than later reduces intensity and damage. One part of Cali San Andreas fault where the rock is exceptionally slippery stresses never build up and only small quakes happen.
    5
  1686. Would make a better tourist attraction consolidated on the bottom tho.
    5
  1687. Lock him UP!
    5
  1688. She was but no longer a "doctor", not in the USA. Anyway you don't know her she might be misreble to live with for all we know.
    5
  1689. Shameless. There should be recourse for that sort of abuse. The book scam was just getting ramped up when I went 30 plus yrs ago. I got an engineering degree and paid my own way with zero debt nor help from family (tho they could've and would've) I didn't even want handouts from family. It was WORTH it for me due to valuable, challenging curriculum and lower prices back then.
    5
  1690. Safest cars ever made in a crash and 10X less likely to crash with AP active. Some 4M cars on the road means some of them are driven by fools.
    5
  1691. Dave Ramsey: "'The other side isn't as bad as you think and your side isn't as good as you think.'" Ppl allow themselves to be SO manipulated by hysterical political racket.
    5
  1692.  @some1private  It's not all that uncommon for one person at the top to make the difference between mediocre and spectacular company performance.
    5
  1693. You can run, say 20% gasoline 80% diesel in gas motor no big problem. (just don't run gas in a diesel engine) Just check motor oil a few times and be prepared to change oil after a day of use as diesel will slowly go past piston rings and dilute, increase crankcase oil level. Just a way to get through the day in a pinch.
    5
  1694. From N Commifornia, not knowing history or details--it's a very old, built far lighter to lower standards than today, better not push their luck on catastrophic potential. Bad management is the default expectation from gov. Hopefully we learned something from Orville Dam spillway fail near me, nothing like a total dam failure, but a proper reminder. We've had history of few dam catastrophes.
    5
  1695. COOL BEANS! We need the precip in Cali, I'm near I-80 between Sacramento and Reno and thrilled to have the SNOW!!!
    5
  1696. He's being PRUDENT and caring about the bigger picture. He didn't say all restaurants will survive he said many are doomed regardless including many of his own businesses.
    5
  1697. Morgan Stanley stated the obvious: "'Overvalued as a car mfg and undervalued considering everything else they are becoming.'" Too bad you not only missed out but especially WILL CONTINUE to miss out on the biggest wealth generator of our time due to simplistic shallow understanding.
    5
  1698. Apple is too late. Bitcoin is a trivial side show having nothing substantial to do with TSLA. China IS a big concern but if the CCP runs off Tesla it will be about the end of foreign industry investments in China.
    5
  1699. You can't play games while driving you damn fools, 2nd--safety has always been Tesla's top prirority and the results prove it.
    5
  1700. Politicians should be cut down to a max of $2M total assets to avoid graft. Bernie should be pleased to pay $20M wealth tax.
    5
  1701. Starting as a kid, mowing lawns taking care of big fancy homes, golf course drive range ball boy, bicycle mechanic, mine mill laborer/mechanic, to career of my own little industrial contracting biz-- NEVER felt I was "prostituting myself" with one borderline exception.
    5
  1702. It's easy to test "facts" but requires real work for a teacher to test independent THINKING. Likewise for teaching how to think instead of what to think.
    5
  1703. Similar--only time ever I literally regretted betting ranch on TSLA was when they revealed it, got over that in couple days, gradually liked it BUT didn't expect all these advancements, just a new look doesn't motivate me, content does.
    5
  1704. I must be a dinosaur but I've never been in a car and thought: "Gee if only it had a heated steering wheel!" I want leather interior option. Love how he compares it to my beloved BMW M3. HA! Well done Tesla.
    5
  1705. Windshield is NOT flat!
    5
  1706. We must reject the notion that "selfish" (as in self interest not self centered), Capitalism, Individualism or even greed are negatives. Greed can be good or bad depending on it's manifestation, if it means, as usually does, bettering one's life then it's good. MY self interest extends to the entire universe, certainly the entire biosphere of Earth. Am I greedy bc I seek rational environmentalism??
    5
  1707. Ignoring the fact that the price of such commodities will crash due to surplus, actual value maybe 1/1000 of 1% of that.
    5
  1708.  @superfreiheit1  Private sector wastes some but it's not remotely comparable to governments which have total monopolies and zero monetary discipline. Beyond that I'm not required to fund private companies with very few exceptions. Get the difference?
    5
  1709.  @superfreiheit1  Giving more money to wasteful government is often like giving a drink to a drunk.
    5
  1710.  @GarrishChristopherRobin777  Con artists, learn the difference.
    5
  1711. "Restore confidence...." when they/he is doing everything possible to undermine confidence.
    5
  1712. As long as you don't get anywhere NEAR a road let alone a car, or a bike, or a covered wagon, boat, train, bus.....
    5
  1713. Friend of a friend walking away from helicopter watched his friend in front of him lose top of his skull, definitely effected him. (both I mean, lol)
    5
  1714. As home gardener it's welcome addition for salads and purported to be one of healthiest things we can consume.
    5
  1715.  @GMacD173  Emotionally controlled kids don't allow reality to intrude on their coveted beliefs.
    5
  1716. You could've heard the exact same thing any week for the last 20 yrs. Useless frankly.
    5
  1717. Can't believe he's this clueless maybe he's getting cash under the table.
    5
  1718. The weak hands (which is most of the kids just getting in on momentum) will be shaken out on down week.
    5
  1719. Lessons will be learned just like the DotBomb.
    5
  1720. When the story or your perception of the situation changes, you change your mind, that's what adults do. But there aren't many adults in these threads. Stupid kids dig in their heels on worthless stocks like NKLA, RIDE......
    5
  1721. NO...Tesla will NOT sustain these margins they will dramatically increase them. They did NOT LOSE MONEY ON Bitcoin, it was a trivial accounting thing.
    5
  1722. Just make sure it's a trade, get out right if possible. Very hard to justify this valuation.
    5
  1723. "Rubbing her nose in it" would be incredibly childish, Elon didn't get here by being an imbicile. What would that gain Tesla?
    5
  1724. He's usually right, been backing AAPL since single digits for example. Why are you here don't you have anything better to do?
    5
  1725. Anyone who regurgitates "pump and dump" in this context is utterly clueless and most likely penniless.
    5
  1726. SURE that's how you became wealthy, right?
    5
  1727. I don't short anything and I don't like bailing out the airlines either, he's right about that. Need to allow the market place to WORK, that means fail sometimes.
    5
  1728. How many commentators here actually listen to this entire vid?
    5
  1729. Yeah it's always foolish to ask intelligent pertinent questions, right?
    5
  1730. Good GRIEF. Since when is asking pertinent questions "hating". Were you raised in a goddamned church or something??
    5
  1731. Manipulate ECONOMY you meant to say.
    5
  1732.  @blankyfang2348  How is it dirty? I contracted for this same mine (under another company) back in late 1980's, the worst thing I saw going into the refining process was Soda Ash--natural mineral and relatively benign stuff widely used. The rest was just the leftover salts themselves which made the small basin sterile for plants since the previous glacial maximum. Silver Pk. lake bed is a smaller version of Great Salt Lk. flats. Not a place for life. They are pumping brine, distilling it with solar energy (sun and wind only) and removing one of many salts out of the mix and returning the rest. I'd rather have that next door than windmills perhaps. You can't have an Iphone, clean OR DIRTY CAR w/o mining, your very life depends on it. Get used to it, the goal is to do it as clean as reasonable, certainly better than the Roman's did. ;-)
    5
  1733. Invest a couple trillion into INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY....Good Grief...we are becoming a 3rd world nation.
    5
  1734. So you missed making a fortune on it to date. Instead of childish lamenting of past failure, how about looking forward? TSLA is dirt cheap today with incredible potential before end of decade, you think you missed it, that's only half correct, don't let it cause you to miss massive future gains. Doesn't matter where it's been only where it's going.
    5
  1735. I reserve judgement but, dang it Chamath!--better explain this well if you plan to be my Cali Governator #2
    5
  1736. We once depended on Sears, now we've all but forgotten them, not even missed. Same goes for F, GM and all the rest, won't be needed or missed. Highly healthy creative destruction going on here just let it be.
    5
  1737. "I'll bomb Moscow if Putin invades Ukraine." I cringed at such bombastic Trump rhetoric, but it beats real war. Coincidence that Putin waited until Orange Man BAD was gone?? I don't think so.
    5
  1738. I don't get euphoric when I'm up $80k in a day nor does it set my mood when it's down that much. Just irrelevant NOISE.
    5
  1739. Competition has be just about to destroy Tesla for a decade now. !YAWN!
    5
  1740. "Breaking down"....nice metaphor for a failing propaganda machine.
    5
  1741. Boycott it, the criminals deserve prison but we can individually cancel them.
    5
  1742. 2:20 Look at these porkers! They should economize via skipping 2 meals a day and NO snacks. Good Grief.
    5
  1743. It doesn't effect me as a home owner what the price of my property is--it's a place to LIVE not an investment, if I sell it high I'll have to buy another place HIGH.
    5
  1744. Based on all the childish comments here--this is definitely a "Robinhood Trade", lol.
    5
  1745. And yet you are pointless, penniless and bored to be here anyway.
    5
  1746. Tesla has solved all of it, legacy lags, dies and forgotten. Just like Sears we used to depend on.
    5
  1747. Delivered 368k in 2019 as also shown here.
    5
  1748. Watch the narrative become that the mob was actually ANTAFA (or whatever).
    5
  1749. He's immanently involved in Tesla and SpaceX right down to the engineering fundamentals, formulas and details. Same for Twitter at the moment but not long term. Tune in and reduce your vast ignorance.
    5
  1750. They'll take the entire globe if we let them.
    5
  1751. I bought partial position in SPOT couple weeks ago I think it's possibly a double in a yr.
    5
  1752. All time highs are irrelevant, it's where it's going not where it's been that matters.
    5
  1753. YES...and we have been for 30 yrs and counting! Are you STILL missing out?
    5
  1754. Only GM would be so stupid.
    5
  1755. He's usually right when consistently and persistently advocating long term bets: AMD, NVDA, AAPL, FB, TSLA (since 2019 only)...many others, but his quick off the cuff trades are a crapshoot. Anyone who pulls the trigger based solely on anyone's opinion is an idiot.
    5
  1756. Yeah you can't know anything about anything without a 6 yr degree.
    5
  1757. Back in the dotbomb days I suddenly had to move from the house I rented--landlord lost his ass gambling there. hehehe Anyway it worked out as it led to my getting motivated to never rent again and buy my own darn shack now long ago paid for. :D
    5
  1758. SAME thing was said when I 1st backed of the truck on TSLA at $38 mid 2019. This is bargain territory once again. Dude is a joke.
    5
  1759. How is your comment relevant to anything that matters here?
    5
  1760.  @hanaf1231  Mortality numbers were also grossly inflated for financial gain. Someone dying of cancer and "Covid got him a week sooner" it's listed as Covid not cancer.
    5
  1761. Also interesting that many in the audience were implicated, not just Bob. lol What an intense sense of justice and principles looks like.
    5
  1762.  @steveb796  Get a CLUE dude...economics trickles up, down and sideways constantly. How can you not SEE that?
    5
  1763.  @hollyyork1164  You can't expect to make a buck serving very poor ppl, only the wealthy will be able to pay you for anything. Poverty breeds more of the same and visa versa, when one person gains a lot everyone else tends to gain a little. Economics is not a zero sum game
    5
  1764. 6 months ago Cramer said: "'SHOP, NVDA, PYPL all have room to run'" They are up roughly 75% on ave. since then. So go ahead and 'do the opposite' kids!
    5
  1765.  @turquoiseowl  CO2 is every bit as essential as water for life on Earth in general. My understanding is mass plant extinctions begin when CO2 falls to around 150ppm, during recent glacial maximums it has fallen to as low as 180ish which is extremely dangerously low.
    5
  1766. You mean he offended your religion. Don't feel too bad for being wildly misled by fake news and politicians, neither group has ever been scientifically literate nor cared to be, it's all about hype and drama but they ensnared at least half of us in their BS. But you SHOULD become angry at being fooled and become far more cynical.
    5
  1767.  @robertboryk791  For decades until recently, oil exporting WAS banned. Get a little background.
    5
  1768. The best thing Washington can do is NOTHING as a rule of thumb. Every time they monkey with markets all sorts of predictable "unintended" consequences occur.
    5
  1769. Deep end? How exactly?
    5
  1770.  @tongtran007  EPIIC, to use a 20th century boomer term. :D Amazon is worth infinitely more that Sears today and you'd be rich just investing a used car's value of shares in 2001 and forgetting about it. (but it wasn't easy with AMZN either, never is)
    5
  1771. Ever see the 60 minutes clip of host laughing at AMZN worth 20% more than Sears Back in 2000 or 2001. Most of the EV bets will not pay off however and do seem to be 'faith' not DD. As always--be very careful.
    5
  1772. SoCal hit 134F back in the 1930's, today NOT near a record.
    5
  1773.  @rebeldoherty5432  Seems no one innocent was seriously injured, that's all that matters.
    5
  1774. And the devastation caused by media induced fear and shutdowns will be with us for decades. Pathetic and entirely avoidable.
    5
  1775. It's what ordinary forest fires look like you moron.
    5
  1776. Yes if you are around another decade.
    5
  1777. No they aren't, it was far worse a century ago, this is all about manufactured media hype. LOOK at the darn data.
    5
  1778. This is not a Tesla story, it's a reckless driver story, possibly a drunk who left the scene or idiots who somehow fooled the car into thinking a driver was in the drivers seat. Car will not continue to drive if you even remove the driver's seatbelt, it will slow down and stop with emergency flashers on.
    5
  1779. We don't know if the driver was drunk and fled the scene but if there was no driver in the drivers seat they had to go to some pains to fool the car into thinking a driver is there, AP won't function without a driver in the DRIVERS seat. We don't even know if AP was active yet. It's not a Tesla or autonomous story, it's a reckless driver story.
    5
  1780.  @kylereese4822  How do you know? It can't operate even with the seat belt off, they'd have to monkey with the system. We don't know if AP was activated. Likely a drunk driver who fled the scene.
    5
  1781.  @francismuiruri9064  I tend to agree except this is US targeted news, if it was Japanese or Australians they'd probably tally the locals only too.
    5
  1782. Get some perspective. This is one occasion that just showing up is really doing something. NO fan of hers but credit where due, and she's dismissing Biden like everyone else which is good.
    5
  1783. Here in Commifornia fire is not only about fuel load reduction, the entire ecosystem is dependent on it in numerous ways. Many native tree species can't exist without fire including our beloved Giant Sequoias, controls invasive plants and disease, on and on.
    5
  1784. Which god? Thor, Zeus, Titan, Apollo, the North American Great Spirit?
    5
  1785.  @JGH2015Sara  IDK man, dead ringer. She resigned and rehired??
    5
  1786. Diversity of the trivia with total intolerance of the substantial--diversity of thought, which is what academia is supposed to exemplify.
    5
  1787.  @beverlythompson7046  She loathes herself because she loathes the race of her father that she was taught to hate in college.
    5
  1788. She? Are you sure it's not a he/she/it?
    5
  1789. Tossed out regardless at this point, astounding irresponsibility, deception and childishness from FJT & Co. Is it nothing more than an ego contest on his side?
    5
  1790. To engage the insane w facts takes equal idiocy.
    5
  1791. Battery had little to do with it. Apparently small explosives installed or injected, triggered remotely, possibly ignited by deliberate heating of batt. Gasoline and diesel make real bombs without plastic explosives, batteries can torch but not detonate or fireball.
    5
  1792. Apparently GoFuckMe has long been a questionable outfit, there are around a dozen alternatives tho I'm not clear on their quality or independence.
    5
  1793. Astounding lack of self awareness. Pravda of Australia. State should be banned from supporting any media outlet.
    5
  1794. Yup. Also begging for big trouble if isolating them without much employment opportunity and so on.
    5
  1795. It's a healthy struggle for him, exercise isn't supposed to be easy and it's certainly not optional. (not that I have any respect for these two)
    5
  1796.  @okultusrexus3660  Do you even know how to grow potatoes? That sort of skill could become essential if your mentality continues to destroy civilization.
    5
  1797. NO...he meant set it up so I almost can't totally flounder.
    5
  1798. Very similar to extreme Muslims in Afghanistan, they attribute bloodline blame forever. As young college student a Native American woman, around 30, was welcomed into our house by my older roommates. She tried to guilt trip me but was impressed when I forcefully shut it down. "It wasn't ME and it wasn't YOU!" Seriously she wanted to lay me right then and there, HA! She never brought up that BS again.
    5
  1799. Yeah I've never been a fan of Mr. T., but absolutely support him after all this treachery.
    5
  1800. Grandmother at 16/17 yr old had habit of digging thru the bodies of her countrymen in Japanese mass grave pits in Siberia to find any still half alive. She'd load 2 or so in handcart down muddy paths from village to village to find a hospital that could take them. Somethings shouldn't be forgotten.
    5
  1801.  @GriftinBobbySunflower  He's consistent, even braindead he continues to vilify half the nation. Brilliant strategy, way to be the "uniter".
    5
  1802. She won't switch to a rubbish union made car, that's hilarious.
    5
  1803.  @vmm5163  SURE--hypothetical figure heads if everyone else dies. !YAWN!
    5
  1804.  @dutchgrateful1541  Get a grip on reality peasant. Good GRIEF.
    5
  1805.  @cortarelva  Why would it give them reason to go after you? Only bc u accepted forced disarmament. I have chainsaws, kitchen knives, even car keys...and yes GUNS. All are legal.
    5
  1806.  @GizmoMaltese  So he's been unraveling or unraveled for 30 plus yrs? He hasn't change in decades, he has always spoke his mind but recent generations are so mentally frail they can't handle the slightest controversy, pathetic and scary. Pussification of America, universities most to blame.
    5
  1807. GUILTY here. But repentant, i learned my lessons well. Strictly speaking I voted against Orange Man Bad not FOR Biden per se, but that's a technicality, results matter and I won't make that mistake again. Propaganda works and effects us all to one degree or another directly and especially indirectly.
    5
  1808.  @marcussmith1885  What's your take on Hillary and the Steele Dossier?
    5
  1809. He also lost his first child as an infant that died in his arms some 20 yrs ago. Currently has 12 kids if U include the one you mentioned.
    5
  1810. They cater to us, their biggest market.
    5
  1811. Same for many in the USA including FJB. Possible that it's largely my own bubble, this sort of news, but I sense the tide turning against the Leftists across the board. I've certainly gone from Libertarian leaning Centrist, complicated, to simply anti-Left for the foreseeable future, the rest of my life.
    5
  1812. Telling that they are terrified of "maximum inclusive". UNBELIEVABLE.
    5
  1813.  @megaluckydog1212  OLD trite response--have you seen Obama's Hawaiian 'mansion'? It's right on the F'n beach, at least one of Al Gore's luxury homes isn't much higher. But I'm a strong swimmer so no problemo.
    5
  1814. Crowd went WILD, only entertainment for entire day.
    5
  1815.  @lorrainearmstrong7587  It's a case study in letting your girl become your boss. First she emasculates him then gets disgusted with his weakness--predictable. He asked for it. Next she'll be banging the butler or any real man. Hilarious.
    5
  1816. Fun fact: Petrol cars burn to the ground so often it's not even news, 10X more than BEVs per mile. 😄 And good brands break far less than ICE. (((this from old 'petrohead' still in love with old BMWs, esp. 2011, M3 screaming V8, no desire for BEV but they'll rule very soon)))
    5
  1817. I hear the fishing was good.
    5
  1818.  Charles  When China was completely communist everyone was starving, remember? Untold millions died from it was the very definition of starvation a few decades ago. Then they allowed private enterprise and begun to thrive as a result. It's still rotten in many aspects such as the absence of a justice system, tracking your every move and punishing anyone who criticizes anything about the ugly side of the nation and the wealthy only achieve that via connections and corruption. But there would be NO wealth beyond the party elite if not for a significant degree of capitalism allowed. Have you failed to notice that the most quintessential capitalistic organizations on the planet are thriving in China now including Apple and Tesla?? THAT's why they have risen half way from the HELL that communism brought on them just as any other form of state sponsored slavery always does. Are you 12?
    5
  1819.  @matthewbradley3475  Can't likely open the door once water is half way up it. But as u said this is not a new concern, dad used to carry a hatchet under the seat for this scenario decades ago. 1st thing to do is try to open a window.
    5
  1820.  @boltsquad6445  Roll down the window is much better, by the time pressure is equalized there is little air left to breath. (obviously the window driver may have failed, seems unlikely to me tho)

  1821. Ron Goodman That's what happens when you contribute NOTHING and expect everything for free! Feel sorry for him? Wow. Maybe your a pothead slacker too?
    5
  1822. Martin Bodger Parents want him gone, what else matters other than he's a childish 30 yr. old, slacker who has NOT grown up precisely because his parents have enabled his lack of self responsibility?
    5
  1823. Duh.
    5
  1824. Some luck too.
    5
  1825. Give a homeless man an empty house and he will soon be homeless again with one fewer houses available for anybody else.
    5
  1826.  Curia Regis  NO one is going to read all that rubbish. LOOK at the baboons, they act exactly like a bunch of teenage male humans, nough said. Maybe you don't have any contact with other animals and can't relate to them.

  1827.  @derealovesurvival7549  You are STUPID. Good luck mate.
    5
  1828.  @derealovesurvival7549  Chill out. Predators are essential for healthy herds and it's not necessarily compassionate to get involved. Do you eat meat?

  1829. I don't think he put his life on the line but he did what any decent adult with some physical capacity would have done.
    5
  1830. Mr. T is dishonest--who KNEW!
    5
  1831. Almost, seed oils are apparently even worse.
    5
  1832. Toy is floundering like most legacy auto. DOOMED.
    5
  1833. Could be capitulation is at hand, I'm changing nothing as per usual.
    5
  1834. Also the last place you want to concentrate mass is the wheels. It's a pile of garbage but it doesn't matter, won't be built, just a tool to fool naïve children gamblers.
    5
  1835.  jabberwolf  Skepticism is always the rule but invoking NKLA is ridiculous as it was always a blatant fraud where as Tesla laid out a plan some 15 yr.s ago and has executed on it, not flawlessly but still in spectacular fashion. If you haven't learned to give Elon and team some benefit of the doubt you are also ignorant or stupid.
    5
  1836. I think they will do well in the US just as the Japanese did starting in 1970's, F and GM will be impacted much more than Tesla but T can't do it all.
    5
  1837. Not the only one and he's perhaps more concerned about his profit potential but there is nothing wrong with profiting off Tesla's success. If he's right or not remains to be seen....I hope so.
    5
  1838. Yup...popular establishment media continues to destroy itself. Another channel on my avoid and thumbs down list.
    5
  1839. They still haven't figured out that YouTube is the place for real numbers and perspective.
    5
  1840. Great publicity for Elon/Tesla. More conservative Americans are noticing and gaining respect where they have traditionally dissed him for being a progressive and the rest of us shouldn't have any problem with it.
    5
  1841. Go ahead and trade it but I'm up 600% by simply holding.
    5
  1842. That's half the point, how do you not understand this?
    5
  1843. Less than 5 to bankruptcy.
    5
  1844. The full size one's are too big for many of the world's roads and half of the American market is a weird image thing, they don't have much use for the capacity they commute in the clumsy things....other markets are more rational/economical. You won't see this in Europe very much no matter how efficient it is.
    5
  1845. No point responding y'all, you won't find a person there. This exact post has been broadcast across these threads for months, one of the most laughable, crude regurgitated puke you'll ever see.
    5
  1846. So ALL you children have made a fortune betting against him, right?
    5
  1847. Makes a fantastic case here, right or not, obviously he's on target more than off.
    5
  1848. Probably the worst time to exit.
    5
  1849. The "amount of carbon required to make them" is included in the purchase price, it's a non issue except for perceptions.
    5
  1850. YES Elon said he's going to be on the call, pay attention guys.
    5
  1851.  @hangender  Here is the brief recipe how most everyone becomes prosperous/wealthy: A) invest heavy in yourself, master valuable skills and personal integrity. B) capitalize on those skills via yrs/decades of hard work and likely striking out on your own...all the while living well below your means and saving a ton. Live poor to become rich. C) learn how to invest effectively to have modest snowball began to grow "on it's own", the bigger it gets the faster it grows. Learn the power of compounding.
    5
  1852. GOOD RIDDANCE--pretty sure they wouldn't last a wk at Tesla anyway. This email was specifically for executives , frankly a no brainer they can't work from home.
    5
  1853. Why don't you listen to the video?
    5
  1854. Lucid a threat? Bahaha "High profile incidents" were entirely fabricated, still damaging but common man.
    5
  1855.  @weho_brian  Common complexity, counter indicators overwhelm you?? It's the nature of markets and why there are always two sides to every trade.
    5
  1856. Yet you have nothing better to do than tune into him.
    5
  1857. Market crash predictions every month, fools are those who think that's a good reason to stay poor on the sidelines forever as tho they are smarter than the market.
    5
  1858. Same reason you are here--he's entertaining in a perverse way.
    5
  1859.  @BTom16  You are looking way to hard, it's called "confirmation bias". I don't really care if they are perfectly balanced as I get my input from dozens of places. As a small TSLA stockholder I need the bear case more than the bull case anyway to keep myself in check. It's a high risk/reward stock with ridiculous cultist on one end and equally silly bears on the other extreme and some interesting takes in between.
    5
  1860. What's the thesis? I see NO justification for this being more than a few 100M market cap max. They don't even optimistically claim to have a product until at least 4 yrs, this has ton of room to fall.
    5
  1861. Jobs everywhere, bunch of SLACKERS. hahaha
    5
  1862. Spoken with all due poverty mentality. Retirement is not a goal for everyone and money is a tool allowing for greater impact, presumably for betterment. Why do you care how much is "enough" for someone else, it's non of your biz focus on your own affairs, sounds like you are ill.
    5
  1863. Track record matters.
    5
  1864. Seeing the CT just a couple times in traffic--it looks smaller than typical full size PU to me. Also looks vastly more masculine than all the others w their cheesy fake chrome plastic grills, general fragility.
    5
  1865. IDK but it scares the hell out of me.
    5
  1866. Analysis? That's a strong term for this trivial rant.
    5
  1867. Because he didn't, he represents them well but not supposed to be so blatant about their objectives.
    5
  1868.  @falsificationism  Right around statehood Cali suffered one of the recurring (roughly 160/300 yr) "pineapple express", aka., atmospheric rivers off the Pacific, trains running for 45 to 60 days or more straight deluge that turns Central Valley into a massive lake. One in 1862 permanently altered Sacramento. Haven't seen anything like it since but we will one day. Rapid sediment accumulations in deltas studies decades ago show this is an inevitability as it's been happening for thousands of yrs. And NO our dam and flood control infrastructure will NOT come close to managing it. Interestingly, Native Americans seem to have anticipated it and moved into the foothills to stay clear in 1862.
    5
  1869. My understanding is that DeepSeek may not resemble the claims they have made, that they do in fact have a large cluster of Nvidia H100s.
    5
  1870.  @judybausch2845  Yeah until you get historical perspective and understand wild land mismanagement context.
    5
  1871. Solution to this is simple - ban pickup trucks.
    5
  1872. Earth and Mars have been "sneezing" on eachother for ever, life has already been transferred back and forth. (assuming life exist on Mars)
    5
  1873. Punish productivity long and hard enough and this is the result.
    5
  1874.  @ovnilab  Someone has to be the bad example the rest learn from.
    5
  1875. Architects are not generally engineers but they often play that role. FLW made some serious engineering mistakes, including "Falling Water" house. I frequently see it today on custom houses in the form of gross over designing when using steel, they have no idea what they are doing w structural steel typically.
    5
  1876. Nice WORKMANSHIP TOO! Why is it that their quality standards are so low?
    5
  1877. Irrational fear of bacteria has done enormous damage. Imagine moms making the air in their home toxic for their children with Lysol, accomplishing nothing but harm.
    5
  1878.  @ludwigziffer6895  Exactly, it's 100% about what we are conditioned to, accustomed to eating. And everything is an acquired taste, peanut butter for example is sort of harsh flavored stuff yet no one thinks of it that way.
    5
  1879. Humans are part of nature too, always have been.
    5
  1880.  @LEARSIKCIGAM  You should do a blind test with same size/shape grains, one iodized the other not. I'd guess you fail that, lol.
    5
  1881.  @humanityrising9378  I'm not say'n you are stupid for falling for such necessarily, even very smart folks do it sometimes, just learn to check your own beliefs instead of reinforcing them, it's a discipline that's essential in many walks of life...take investing in indvidual stocks for one--you better be able to cross check your thesis for owning an equity (or shorting) or your likely to lose your money. FIRST--don't get emotionally invested in any belief but instead learn to relish the potential for an epiphany which can only happen when one up-ends a strongly held belief which tends to be highly rewarding. Understand that the best learning happens by challenging yourself not by 'winning' an argument. It's not so bad to admit: "I might be wrong about that."
    5
  1882.  @humanityrising9378  Now you do. What ELSE are you missing?
    5
  1883. Both height and weight are more than superficial, they effect function. I have no problem w girl's preferences whatever they may be and I don't apologize for mine. I'll take a little chubby if she has compelling attitude, mentality and femininity, but obese is crippled, sexually and functionally in general.
    5
  1884. Guarantee U wouldn't regret it. Best ever in history cars. Don't take anyone's word for it just test drive one.
    5
  1885. Meanwhile the SANE 3/4's of America are considering a Tesla car for first time.
    5
  1886. His GF decided she will dump him right at this moment. Rightfully so.
    5
  1887. And for the tyrants and manipulative Establishment---they'll be forgiven AFTER serving time in the pen. (by me)
    5
  1888.  @omallakas4156  Competition is crucial, I've barely used the alternatives but intend to more in the future. YT should be concerned and responsive concerning their damn censorship.

  1889.  tokii hikoo  How many decades are we supposed to attempt to hold that country to some bare level of habitability? Are YOU paying the bill? I am.
    5
  1890.  @lennyvalentin6485  It's intended to be slightly humorous, all humor has an element of truth. Depends on what sort of taxes and policies--wealth tax, DEI, ESG, "equal results" instead of equal opportunity...ALL leaning Commie.
    5
  1891. Zero nickel needed for battery cars. Plenty of metals for BEVs and all will be endlessly recycled.
    5
  1892.  @MatthewBerginGarage  Suit yourself. I used to be fine working on my '66 Chevy 1-ton service truck, couple hrs every week too. Don't want to do that anymore. For $60k I could get a Model 3 that outperforms a new BMW M3 that cost twice as much. (still love my 2011 BMW M3 but won't ever buy expensive ICE again) For $40k a new Model 3 that outperforms 95% of cars on the road, near zero maintenance, far cheaper to operate, no more gas station stops, just plug in at home.
    5
  1893.  @donwanthemagicma  A couple shorter ones went off course quite a lot in the middle, my only significant criticism, meaning the weld was too much on the beam not enough on the bracket. That should be adjusted but it likely won't matter much it's just not as efficient as it could be.
    5
  1894. Yeah and that's completely beside the point. If you're looking for slick children's content there's other channels available. This was as well done and usefully informative as any, good to see a new perspective on this and cam work was good enough.
    5
  1895. I'm impressed with the apparent expense gone into that mechanism, million mile worthy.
    5
  1896.  @pasad335  Yeah by about a century and it looks lk this attempt is about as desirable as a 1920's pickup.
    5
  1897. With triple fueling costs, 10X the maintenance.....definite winner.
    5
  1898.  @wtmayhew  As much as I respect GM for certain 'innovations', they had a long history of experimenting in the market place instead of before hand. Corvair, particularly the rubbish aluminum block Vega, then those failed diesels and whatever I'm forgetting at the moment.
    5
  1899.  @wtmayhew  Fun tangent: Close family friends had large ranch around 25 miles from town, therefore significant driving miles. Naturally they had diesel tanks for farm equipment and figured they could write off diesel for Caddys as it wouldn't be noticed they were filling those also on farm fuel. (just occurred to me that off road diesel is taxed less and forbidden on road, not sure if that was the case at that time, but separate thing) Well the IRS called them out on diesel going to family cars and the gas small block V8s modified to diesel didn't last long, lol.

  1900. Keep the suckers involved a little longer so the insiders can cash out better.
    5
  1901.  @simoc24  Indeed....I'm frankly surprised and impressed.
    5
  1902. Smaller audience but quality free advertising with the risk of not controlling the narrative.
    5
  1903. Very Toyota--BORrrring. :D
    5
  1904.  @GET2222  No stock GM would ever get that far on those concrete pipes. Right now GM is probably losing well over $100k per copy. GM looks to be a very nice truck--for a typical fragile cheesy chrome plastic grandma's grocery getter.
    5
  1905. Just hope someone else does. 😄
    5
  1906. Impressed with speed of door, more typically one might be pausing for it to cycle which could be irritating 100X per day.
    5
  1907. Cory was struggling to hide his yawns, he's totally used up in this moment.
    5
  1908. Was he repeating "I want my mom"?
    5
  1909. Throwing time and money away creating such a moronic rig as that truck is half way there already.
    5
  1910. "Hands UP! Don't you F'n move!!" Think he was well beyond ever moving again. hahaha
    5
  1911.  @mooncat7009  No sense of humor?

  1912. They always wind up putting the gun down.
    5
  1913. Imagine being terrified of "maximum inclusivity". Telling.
    5
  1914. He has been for many yrs most just didn't notice yet.
    5
  1915. NEVER been a Mr. T. fan, apposed him previously but this is the easiest choice for Prez of my 45 yr.s of voting. The more he's railroaded the stronger my obligation to back him.
    5
  1916.  @nordan00  Mostly voted over 45 yrs. Previously apposed Mr. T., by now I've never had an easier choice for Prez. We are not only "next" we are the target today. WE THE PPL are the enemy. F the tyrants. "Rather have a President serving a sentence than one that can't complete a sentence." 😄
    5
  1917. Most of it was lost, whatever profits were realized were a smaller fraction of the total. Typical government ineptitude and waste.
    5
  1918. You can't expect efficiency or sophistication from a JEEP. Merc impressed me most as we all know the Tesla should take the standing drag even with the faulty start in this case.
    5
  1919. Very often they never want to talk about it unless special circumstances, rare occasions or to others who've had similar experiences.
    5
  1920. "Hate" for Joe is projected self loathing, no other explanation.
    5
  1921.  @Moresurenow  Get a job and a LIFE fool. Tell the truth to YOURSELF about your sorry existence.
    5
  1922.  @trismaccarran9950  Propaganda works, none of us are immune to it. I fell for much of the same garbage you did. Still don't much like Trump (growing on me tho) but absolutely obligated to support him after all the institutional treachery leveled against him.
    5
  1923. Trudeau wants to be dictator and this is his best shot, your pols might have a scrap of common decency.
    5
  1924. It would be an interesting experiment because unearned wealth tends to destroy the lives of those receiving it. I believe that's the reason for the so called "Lottery Curse". Folks who think money will solve all their problems are completely unprepared for the inevitable new problems they never even thought of.
    5
  1925. Being candid which is a higher form of honesty and why many of us love that quality.
    5
  1926. Written ending applies to ME. Lifelong Centrist now simply anti-leftist
    5
  1927. Mr. T. had his chance and blew it, IDK why it would be better 2nd time around but if he's on the ticket I'll be obligated to support him, lessor of evils and most important--to push back against the machine.
    5
  1928.  @vikinglife6316  Sure, unless he was an exceptional leader which T proved not to be. A severe "landslide victory" could also provide the power, mandate of the ppl, at least to the extent of his campaign promises. T is relatively centrist, we need more of a Libertarian. T still brags about all the lives he saved via lockdowns, pure BS, he should apologize instead.
    5
  1929.  @nikitaw1982  Either way the insanity of allowing males into female sports is the end of woman's sports entirely.
    5
  1930. Dave mentions the bathroom stall writings--forgot about that it was ugly, hahaha. Anyone slightly overweight got a Wide Load sign on their rear end at some point, there were almost NO obese kids back then.
    5
  1931.  @carrierichardson6619  Is there any hope for us? :D I enjoyed having Newsom on the hot seat for a while but unfortunately we failed to kick him to the curb. I suffered a lengthy radio advertisement from Newsom days before the election tally--his biggest claim to fame? "I mandated that all health care workers be vaccinate." Kid you not, apparently the majority here thrives on authoritarianism. We did create Reagan, politically speaking, before my awareness of such things.
    5
  1932.  @bcbp14  I'm in farther NorCali where we lean Republican, not that I personally ever aligned with R's either but they sure look better now. I'm more Libertarian which often puts me at odds with both parties, but Dems especially today for obvious reasons. That we are not happy here in the North, with the results of 40 yrs of Dem dominance, has driven the sort of silly but understandable move to carve off the North as the state of "Jefferson". Good luck in Florida! I like their style recently. :D
    5
  1933. Doesn't matter, he checks one of the crucial Dem criteria boxes--he's gay and that matters.
    5
  1934. I doubt they would dare. He gets away with quite a lot it Twitsville for obvious reasons. Soon enough everyone will be able to express themselves w/o fear.
    5
  1935. How much does she care? Zero. It's all about virtue signaling and mindless identity noise.
    5
  1936. Only if said janitor has "been in the situation room".
    5
  1937. She became cringe coward at end of clip.
    5
  1938. Along with many many other sectors, we are all interdependent.
    5
  1939. Even worse than the USSA today.
    5
  1940. Newsom doesn't need to go to hell when he can create it right where he is.
    5
  1941. I skimmed her entire 200pg tome, there was no justification just clever words and repeated references to Elon's wealth.
    5
  1942. Huh? She voided the contract WE voted for and the insane efforts Elon did to save and CREATE Tesla, as it stands he got ZERO compensation for his heroic efforts. ZERO.
    5
  1943. Look at Leslie's expressions tho, she's clearly not buying any of it.
    5
  1944.  @Corporate101-mk6ib  I've never learned anything memorable from him and tuned in a fare amount yrs ago. But then I also tune into that topic for many decades, most are clueless about where we live in a cosmic sense. So if he reached the masses on that--fair point, still there are better sources. He's no Carl Sagan.
    5
  1945. Too bad Rand Paul is not in the running, the one I could really get behind. Previously apposed Mr. T. but I'll vote anti-Leftist for the rest of my life, if that's for Trump so be it....certainly OK with DeSantis.
    5
  1946. Jeff WHO?
    5
  1947. My only concern about Gaetz is getting him confirmed by Congress. He seems to be exactly the wrecking ball we desperately need.
    5
  1948.  @G360LIVE  Yes I get that. Never forget one's past record and stay skeptical. I don't know her at all, just learning here. But also allow for the possibility of genuine epiphanies and change. I was one who cheered for the Muller/Russian collusion farce back in the day. But eventually learned what was really going on, never be a Trump fan but I won't likely ever appose him again either. Propaganda works, we are all effected by it to one degree or another.
    5
  1949. It's up to us to correct, vast majority of benefit is simply daily choices. Banish seed oils and all highly processed foods, favor organic if u can afford it, grow your own to whatever extent possible. I grow all sorts of stuff.
    5
  1950. I wish accountability had been done too but it hasn't so we must keep beating the drum for justice.
    5
  1951.  @davewinch7677  They are particularly known for it in the Airline industry.
    5
  1952. I wouldn't know the history but...GOOD Grief. Mentally functioning or NOT, you decide. IDK Oz but this is a no brainer, pardon the PUN!!
    5
  1953. Dimon for President!
    5
  1954. See what YOUR HOUSE looks like after treasonous Trump sends his mob of mindless pawns at your home.
    5
  1955. She just explained how YOU are clueless as she did the opposite. Perhaps you are blinded by emotions via your own poor trades, aka., gambling.
    5
  1956. 😂 Elon sent his adult version to China. 😄
    5
  1957. The circle in the gravel parking area was obviously a vehicle donut. What a F'n joke.
    5
  1958. You can trust governments to back failures more often then not.
    5
  1959.  @muskokamike127  It's not reasonable to expect ONE truck to support an entire job site of dozens of men. There will be dozens of vehicles, many of them trucks at such a site. Having a few places to plug into instead of one should also be an advantage most of the time. Yeah I expect and sort of hope they will focus on the much bigger recreational market to start with as a small TSLA stockholder. Such a truck is of no interest to me personally I'm only in want of a service truck replacement. I'm considering purchasing a totaled Model 3 to convert into a gen-set replacement for my own use, not sure if it's feasible for me but should be fairly doable. I just need a the batt pack and associated electronics plus some electrical gear. That's another market T should eventually get into I think.
    5
  1960.  @muskokamike127  Dunno but keep in mind the power required to move a vehicle is vastly greater than what your talking about. You don't need a 400 hp diesel for even a dozen nailers plus several table saws.
    5
  1961.  @_TbT_  Exactly. The old one's were good in a roll over only but of course they had 'low rolling resistance' too, easy to tumble. Also the original had atrocious aerodynamic qualities, not so bad at 50mph but much above that it became scary, floaty and highly inefficient.
    5
  1962.  @charlesmichaels6648  Maybe a little but not a lot. They get lift, get light at highway speeds for one thing. I understand the attraction to antiques, simplicity and so on, but old cars are inferior in most respects, certainly performance, comfort and especially safety. The Bug was shaped in early 1940's so it's bound to be even worse than most of it's contemporaries by say the '80's. They are great offroad however, as far as stock cars go. Can be fun at low speeds/shorter distances.
    5
  1963. Everyone seems to forget that we have been subsidizing the heck out of fossil fuels since day one. Trillions of of tax dollars have gone into protecting the Persian Gulf ONLY to protect the oil shipping lanes, the environmental cost associate with consumption are NOT being paid upfront as they should be....difficult to estimate but certainly not zero. (those are a couple *indirect subsidies*) If you believe bin Laden-- 9/11 would not have happened if not for our relations with Saudi which were, obviously, all about petroleum. Direct subsidies (according to Forbes): "between 1994 and 2009 the U.S. oil and gas industries received a cumulative $446.96 billion in subsidies, compared to just $5.93 billion given to renewables in those years."
    5
  1964.  @tjwoosta  Salting roads is a stupid practice IMO. Coarse sand does the trick just fine without destroying infrastructure, vehicles and damaging the environment.
    5
  1965. ALL consumer electronics, most appliances and many other things are dramatically cheaper. Your phone alone replaces several thousand $ worth of 1990 equipment, camcorder, camera, calculator, maybe even desktop computer. Cars today are vastly superiour to 1970's death traps that got 12mpg, had bad brakes, crap acceleration and handling, no AC, homes are vastly bigger and better today and so on.
    5
  1966. Tires are far cheaper today then when I started buying in the early 1980's, adjusted for inflation, quality and longevity. They have advanced fantastically in recent decades too.
    5
  1967. I did some contracting for the Silver Peak, Nevada brine mine in late '80's. It was a small salt flat where essentially no life could exist to start with, they pump brine from underground, extract the Li salts and when they are done, it will remain a salty flat wasteland not too different from how they found it. Not all Li mines are brine but those can be about as environmentally benign as any mine can be, the composition of remaining salts will simply be missing one component and the landscape won't be much altered, a little local subsidence is about all.

  1968. A dramatic reduction in extractive industries will result and it's already happening, coal mining, oil and gas are tapped and used once, coal is already dying fast in the West. (China the big exception, they continue to increase consumption) While fossils are burned one time, ALL battery elements will be endlessly recycled just like aluminum has been since day one, ultimately reducing mining to a small fraction of what it is today. 70% of all the aluminum ever mined is still in use today, likewise for Li and other batt elements in the future.

  1969.  @PeteKiefer  Warring tribes was largely the norm as I understand it, not only in N America but perhaps especially here. Our species has a treacherous history probably going back to when we split from common ancestors of chimps, if not much older, chimps are often vicious warmongers too. There's such a strong evolutionary incentive to expand one's own tribe at the expense of any that get in the way, and otherwise propagate our own DNA, regardless of ethical restraints.

  1970. Really does look like mini-fortress situation tho, who wants such an arduous rout to home and back unless it's security from roving gangsters.
    5
  1971. Physicist actually. And YOU? What do you know better?
    5
  1972. "Gravity propelled" ....some elaboration please.

  1973. AND his entire nation disappeared into the sea.

  1974.  Will224000  You don't have any idea what your talking about. Get out of the basement and learn something about reality of stick to your video games.
    5
  1975. Far worse than that is that it chips off vastly faster than ordinary econobox paint jobs. Canadians filed a class action suit against Tesla for paint falling off.
    5
  1976. Lifelong fan and was investor right until 2nd Maxx auguring, sold with decent gains and barely looked back. Slick salesmen type CEO's always made me nervous anyway.
    5
  1977. "Disbelief that it could happen again." Really!? That was your takeaway?? Paradise was always a tinderbox in wait of a spark and right past the burned out zones much of it is STILL completely unprepared.
    5
  1978. Situation normal. Just a typical Sierra winter storm. Don't be fooled.
    5
  1979. Situation normal mid winter Sierras. We could use 4X more, bring it ON.
    5
  1980. How about 1969? That was 'the beginning of the new ice age' on the Eastern Sierras. Some 30 ft in some places.
    5
  1981. Not really, the discussion of environmental price is a BIG part of whether we "can" do it.
    5
  1982.  @polarbear2579  Creative destruction. Jeff Bezos had vision, Sears didn't. It's a very healthy aspect of business....change with the times and customer requirements or die. No company is forever, that includes Amazon.
    5
  1983. And totally typical.
    5
  1984. X will blush seeing himself picking his nose. 😎
    5
  1985. Should have strapped helmet on, lol.
    5
  1986. No matter where life originated in the solar system it was impact shotgunned everywhere else in the system and probably took hold in at least a few places. It's farther fetched to think that it could transfer between star systems but I wouldn't rule that out either as we know it can remain viable dormant for at least tens of thousands of years.
    5
  1987.  @billybillson9831  I missed out on most of AMZNs gains for precisely your reasons. I'm not making that same mistake with a vastly more transformative and important enterprise, it's already gained me a modest fortune and only getting started. But I studied it for near a decade before backing up the truck. That's what it took ME to gain conviction required to breeze thru massive down turns, 60% then again 30% just last yr alone, tho it was up 600% for the yr as a whole. If you don't have the stones for such or just lack the conviction then obviously not for you. There are many great names: NVDA, AAPL, AMD, CRM.....few will have TSLA upside but they are "safe".
    5
  1988. I was there and this doesn't impress me as smart. This was the common rhetoric at the time--regardless of accuracy or not this is not particularly thoughtful in the moment...typical banter regurgitated endlessly like other things are today. But it is very interesting. Leaded gasoline seems to show up in slow mental acuity. They had damn good reason for cynicism, anger, uncertainty and doubt.
    5
  1989. Yes, it's akin to never leaving Europe due to the severe problems there throughout history.
    5
  1990.  @davepaquet8369  We keep seeing the disaster government adds to disasters. While FEMA may help in some respects it appears to be more detrimental than helpful in recent decades. There's your answer, less of this please.
    5
  1991. Yeah he can get pretty animated anyway--drunk he's really ramped up. 😄
    5
  1992. Really? Like the Delaware activism we've been fighting and all the BS litigation against Elon and his companies? Tune into reality, sheesh.
    5
  1993. Yes. That's the way it works in many cases, he was there and saved a few homes by himself.
    5
  1994. Good point, diff places should have unique character. Can we also bring back the thigh gap, been missing that this century. ;-)
    5
  1995.  @timothysimpson1561  At best the surface is scarred and will blow the seals in a matter of hours. If all those workers were making Western wages it wouldn't even be cost effective if it came out as good as new. BIG respect for resourcefulness and efforts--they apparently don't have a better option or this could tide them over until proper expensive rebuild/replace. We'd never think of repairing a rod lk that, it's likely already gashed and it will be more after such press methods, that it's not perfectly straight not the problem, surface damage that's bearing quality cannot be retrieved, naturally also loss of rod strength and/or fatigue resistance likely but this is not a permanent solution anyway.
    5
  1996.  @robertblassmann9161  Most naïve comment ever, as tho they'd even have to know about it.
    5
  1997.  @truthisforever1000  Sure, let it all burn, Big 3 are on borrowed time anyway and apparently burger flipping is a better deal. Good riddance to the 3 and the UAW.
    5
  1998. They are largely obsolete and won't be missed. What value do they add? Not much.
    5
  1999. Which means bankruptcy, I'm fine with that. Tesla sells direct to consumer, no shenanigans, no haggling no hassle no wasted time no extra markup.
    5
  2000.  @captmorgan2063  Curious calling them horrendous, mortgage rates in early 1980's were 15 to 18%. We've been spoiled in recent yrs to 'free money'.
    5
  2001. For a car--If you can't pay for it twice in cash you can't afford it. Simple. If you have student loan problems maybe you can't afford a car at all, get over it.
    5
  2002. Yeah and I'd have scoffed at that idea. Have a 12 gage after this if only to sleep better, minimal chances of a repeat, humans are far more dangerous.
    5
  2003.  @PaulCatterson  Exactly, was going to say but avoid long posts. Usually a survivable situation if you just fly it all the way in, be it trees or whatever.
    5
  2004. Difficult to put the nose down fast and hard enough in that situation. "You can't stall at zero Gs."
    5
  2005.  @Surannhealz  Exactly. Read is prescribing more of the same medicine that got us here. When will folks think for themselves instead of regurgitating the damned dogma they were indoctrinated with??? What would there be of community if not for healthy businesses? Ghetto.
    5
  2006.  @mrrolandlawrence  Hard to say but Virgin has a track record and Boom doesn't, I'd bet on V if anything.
    5
  2007. Ausie would be next best modest market for CT. Special kinship between US and Ausieland, fellow rebels, colonists (lol), w wide open spaces. No nation I'd rather be associated w, hope y'all get the CT soon. Tell us how many salty cocs it thwarted. Thailand could be big market.
    5
  2008. Wow that's some sophisticated shopping, never mind it's "the worst car ever tested" this century.
    5
  2009. Looks like Texas will be first to build new platform cars, not Mexico, so it can happen much sooner, maybe next yr.
    5
  2010. Not entirely true, software maybe but they have some exceptional engineering. None of that will matter if they can't deliver affordable cars at a profit, if that is what you meant--you are correct.
    5
  2011. If they want batt minerals sourced in the US they need to overhaul the regulatory process , without that NOTHING else will help. Currently it's 10 plus yrs just to get regulatory mine/mill approval, changing that takes actual leadership which is hard but would save money all around instead of more inflationary taxing PORK like this bill.
    5
  2012. For decades only old folks stuck in the past have purchased the likes of Buick or Caddy in the USA....imagine it will be the same for this one.
    5
  2013. Was a time when Detroit Auto was so crucial to USA...or so it seemed.
    5
  2014. That's why it's called North American Charging Standard.
    5
  2015.  @xiaoka  Wasn't just price goals, it was revenue too AND he can't touch the share for 5 yrs, impossible to game it. Regardless--a deal is a DEAL, end of discussion.
    5
  2016. Yes. Service has apparently (at least in much of USA) already improved/improving service and charging infra is growing exponentially with streamlined installation methods and ramping production.
    5
  2017. Sure raising petrol prices will reduce consumption but also help OPEC and damage US economy and energy independence. Silver lining--helps solidify the self destruction of JB and Dems.
    5
  2018. Nah...they're F__ked.
    5
  2019. Losses over 5 yrs? One or 2 yrs isn't close to her investment time horizon.
    5
  2020.  @hoppingrabbit9849  GOOG, MSFT, AAPL and AMZN combine to $8T today, could easily be 20T mid decade, none of them are growing or innovating remotely as fast as Tesla is and will, energy and autonomous/AI are vast playgrounds. 20T TSLA in todays dollars is not a huge stretch by 2030.
    5
  2021. You thinking of stealership markup mainly? Cred to Ford regardless.
    5
  2022.  @proximoAZ  Price will have to come down to say reach 1M/yr but give it a few yrs, 500k easy at say $65k.

  2023. HOPEFULLY NOT in some ways as we lead the nation for some highly self destructive policies. (also Cali native)
    5
  2024. "Hottest yr on record" but not near as hot as the recent geological record, Medieval Warm period was 1.5C hotter.
    5
  2025. Seriously doubt ammonia is carcinogenic, it's organic stuff with us since dawn of animals, piss in one place 10X in a week and you generate plant loving ammonia. (just say'n, not arguing with the rest, and ammonia reacted with other things is another matter)
    5
  2026. Yeah it takes time but interesting how we find more of what we value and seek, happens every time. (10X more petroleum available today then 20 yrs ago)
    5
  2027. Don't let reality get in the way of your emotional needs.
    5
  2028. That's the attitude that earns you similar injustice one day.

  2029. Saying he's unstable is the most laughable bit--he's been 100% mentally consistent for at least 20yrs. Frankly he's more redundant than any other criticism.
    5
  2030.  @mike6669-d2j  Did check and it looks like I was wrong and you are right. Germany does have substantially smaller GDP per capita tho, roughly 1.3 the GDP w over twice the population. So not quite 2 to 1 but not way off.
    5
  2031. Easy come easy go as for the workers. GOOD riddance for me, as you mentioned, both Co.s lived well beyond their expiry date and we get what we ask for when propping up poorly manage companies and their goddamned unions. Best outcome is they just fade away like Sears, which was more essential than any auto Co. in rural America for a century, no one misses them now....hopefully they are diminished to the point no longer too big to fail later this decade, they're F'ed anyway.
    5
  2032. As N. American--Commifornian to be specific--I cheer for Ausies advancement and ALL of us decoupling from China as fast as possible.
    5
  2033. SOME of China's general construction goes up so fast it starts falling apart before it's finished too. :D
    5
  2034. An "engine out front" transfers the impact, does not absorb it which is what you need. Be it electric or ICE, a motor in your lap isn't pretty, but as you suggest--space is required to accommodate crushable structure, one of the reasons T-bone accidents can be so bad is there is little room between passenger and outside edge of most any car.
    5
  2035.  @icosthop9998  I come from Honda Toyota family in recent decades. You aren't wrong. Oh well, times change, better to be a Tesla fanboy today....whoever earns it and pushes the industry forward.
    5
  2036. I figured they'd struggle with software and more, but seems worse than most of us thought across the board. It's a cleansing, old industries tend to become lethargic and laden with self inflicted non-essential costs, bureaucracy and hurdles. Bye bye Block Buster, Sears and Blackberry. Was good knowing ya Toyota and VW...GM not so much, lol.
    5
  2037. Extra upsetting due to India-China mutual hatred.
    5
  2038. As a patriotic American--I don't want to bailout, help out F or GM. They need to reap what they sow or starve, we need to let markets work.
    5
  2039. Means Renault knows they're fucked.
    5
  2040. Excellent? Retirement communities in the US tolerate golf carts already in some cases, that mini is basically a golf cart with doors, it has it's place.
    5
  2041. WELL earned. Capitalism works.
    5
  2042. Yeah stating with being NON-union.
    5
  2043. I can't possibly hire who I can't fire.
    5
  2044. The Bolt is decent if they fixed the batt fire problems, as a city car, rubbish for road trips and if they reduce the price they'll lose even more on them, if they don't it's not even close to competitive. They don't and won't foreseeably produce anything else at volume that matters. (hopefully they just fade away instead of bailed out on my dime again, diminished to the point they are irrelevant anyway)
    5
  2045. Because he does Tesla stats almost every day and Tesla isn't a Chinese company, it's American. Notice he also didn't cover BMW, VW, Ford....etc.
    5
  2046. IDK...Peter is pretty sketchy.
    5
  2047. This has been talked about for several days.
    5
  2048. Those patents will expire before it matters.
    5
  2049. Listen to what he says and does, don't overthink it. Media hype continues to mislead along with random opinions running wild.
    5
  2050. I was toying with notion of buying wrecked Tesla to convert my custom service truck yrs ago, but that's a daunting project. (want 3-phase 440V output, etc.) Trouble is the custom part is extremely expensive and not likely adaptable to an EV chassis anytime soon if ever.
    5
  2051. 90% chance of that result for any government program.
    5
  2052.  @HoofHearted801  You may have heard of the stock market? It was created for such purposes and can carry a money losing company for as long as shareholders choose to fund it.
    5
  2053. Top speed of 100kph?? That's a road hazard on the highway, should be banned on asphalt.
    5
  2054. Tesla culture encourages input direct from bottom to top if seen as necessary. NO union mafia will improve on that, in the USA they do nothing but cause conflict within.
    5
  2055. Both should start by setting sights lower to gain experience and confidence. I paid high price for being terrified of the girls I most liked and who liked me... became outraged at myself, cured it by flipping and becoming promiscuous for a few yrs, worked like a charm and was fun for all involved. No need to be dishonest or lacking empathy along the way as many guys do.
    5
  2056.  @brett4264  He definitely believed first in "the mission", that we must switch to sustainable energy is obvious to anyone, it's in the description. He CREATED the market. He is concerned about CO2 levels staying--say well below 1000ppm as best I can read him. Not a climate alarmist but concerned and doesn't want to see us short of energy as fossils fade, has pushed back against vilifying fossil fuels. You can take him at his word but what he doesn't say is harder to figure. He obviously doesn't give a crap about money other than to accomplish his grand goals which will involve trillions. You don't take $100M fortune and spend it ALL on two companies that are most likely to fail if personal wealth is your goal, both Tesla and SpaceX were far more likely to fail than succeed and almost did multiple times.
    5
  2057.  @stevec3526  Adolescent incel fantasy, avoiding responsibility for own life.
    5
  2058. mdo686 Actually it's very to the point. Trump denies anthropocentric climate change (as do many Rs) as well as regulations to mitigate subsidence and that's the heart of the issue here. How deep under water will some need to get before they acknowledge: "Houston we have a problem."?
    5
  2059. Governor should have issued state of emergency his 1st day in office, he's our primary problem.
    5
  2060. EXACTLY. That's the real problem here.
    5
  2061.  @goldenclaw1133  Hat's off from America (realizing our sorry history regarding the Shaw, etc.) and moral support. I understand SpaceX Starlink is going to provide internet but I don't know how they'll get the terminals to you all.
    5
  2062. Easier said than done. Would you put your life on the line?
    5
  2063. OHhh NOooo... dozens of drunken MGUYs dying in the snow!? OH NOOOooo.
    5
  2064. SO FUNNY to watch the Leftist Elites melt down as they lose their complete manipulation, censorship and manufacturing consent privileges they took for granted.
    5
  2065. NO good reason anyone that age should get stabbed anyway. I thought I'd get vacced but was skeptical and waited, then mandates came down which for me was a mandate of NON COMPLIACE.
    5
  2066. The reason this resonates, why it's featured here, is because she's not uncommon.
    5
  2067. Sure, same for men.
    5
  2068.  @Volkaer  We all know that, life has never been fair, but it's the losers who fret over the era they are caught in or genetics, things they can't control. Meanwhile others simply get after it and succeed, whatever success might mean to them.
    5
  2069.  @chinguunerdenebadrakh7022  I always struggle to keep a comment brief as it won't be noticed otherwise. How polluting it is debatable, it does need proper regulations, practices and need not be environmentally detrimental. But yeah--it's made USA not only energy independent but also substantially reduced our CO2 footprint as cheap NatGas replaced coal, ironically allowing US to meet or exceed CO2 targets no other major economy has achieved. Coal is far worse than methane as energy source.
    5
  2070. Strictly speaking it's ALL on Dis and Iger, DeSantis and Elon just accelerated the inevitable of ignoring your customers and destroying meritocratic necessities.
    5
  2071. They should sell it just slightly lower than current prices, make 60% margins for a few yrs. 😁
    5
  2072.  @brunoheggli2888  OH!...maybe you meant small in terms of debt! All the legacies are drowning in debt while Tesla has essentially zero debt and excess cash.
    5
  2073. Some apparently are, Polestar for one. (u might say that's not a Chinese brand but it is to me)
    5
  2074. As TSLA long term long--I smile at the delays and delusions of legacies.
    5
  2075. Indeed and contributes to their preparedness to take on anyone anywhere. They put a stake in the center of Asian car mfg/market then in the heart of Euro mfg.

  2078. It doesn't get hot there anyway. I struggle to keep half my place below 90 this time of yr, mid 80's feels great again, here in NorCali low inland. Excess comfort makes us weak. Over 110 is hot here.

  2081. Good BEVs still get around 100 MPGe, ICE will never remotely compete with it. The ICE age is over, this vid and threads are hilarious self delusion. Ppl don't want BEVs, they want Teslas.

  2084.  @bobbart4198  So you are saying the oceans are getting colder, that's the only way they can hold more CO2. In any case, the corals are doing fine.

  2085. Excess water is a fad based on nothing.

  2086. They've undoubtedly been doing so since before humans existed. We aren't that different and of common stock.
    4
  2087.  @YamaXI  Keep in mind that any species will increase population until something keeps it in check. Doesn't matter how small or large the landscape, it's either starvation, disease or war. Take your pick. Life ain't Disneyland, it's always been brutal, get over it.

  2088.  @jasondashney  Clearly mainly a fashion statement, pricy one at that.

  2092. Lefties are all moving to TX and FL to escape the disasters they created.

  2093. Indeed--no one is doing 1% as much as Elon tho, let alone paying the price and risk. The rest of us must see to it that it's not wasted effort.
    4
  2094.  @stacysatterfield2154  Those three may be necessary but clearly in need of overhauls.
    4
  2095.  @glendalangley1877  That's all fine and dandy, what I said still stands and T. attacking DeSantis continues to demonstrate his childish, self centered narcissism over what's good for the nation. Still I'm going to laugh my ass off if/when Mr. T. wins again. Sticking it to The Establishment is an absolute necessity at this point.
    4
  2096.  @glendalangley1877  I grant you the rest, he didn't do squat to "drain the swamp" but he sure shined a spotlight on it and woke up many of us to the treachery that has become standard operating procedure from Establishment media, academia, social media, DC institutions, etc. An outsider like Trump is a good thing. I'd love to have Rand Paul for pres or a few others picks from congress, precious few.
    4
  2097.  @bttr2brnout792  It isn't, that's more propaganda. The point should be made that actual data and science, something climate alarmist have not been exposed to, doesn't remotely support anthropogenic climate dominance. Climate change has always been scary and CO2 is a bit player, not THE driver.
    4
  2098. Deflects the most severe hate to Elon as well, not that that pleases me. Slashing staff and waste, if they can pull it off, guarantees massive backlash.
    4
  2099. 2/3rds of the price increase happened before the war.
    4
  2100. ChiefJustice Middleton Right. Two strokes also tend to be dirty and much less fuel efficient. And it's hard to believe that all the major engine manufactures would be leaving that much efficiency on the table given all the decades of dedication to eking every last partial percent of improvement possible. All that said I applaud any well thought out, serious effort for dramatic improvements, or even a niche market entry....so this is interesting I just don't believe the claims.
    4
  2101. Frankly I'll believe it when I see it. How do they justify the 50% claim? I call bullshit.
    4
  2102. Most of these are examples of piss poor drivers. 0:15 I WANT to be able to do that in my car and always turn off the intrusive Nannies, that person doesn't know how to drive, it may also be that stability controls were indicated ON and didn't work but a half decent driver wouldn't crash like that regardless, completely without minimal skills. That said, I wouldn't expect the best quality of safety from most of these MFGs, cheap usually has consequences.

  2103.  @mikestewart4752  Steel bodies don't burn. Internal combustion cars burn so frequently it's not news.

  2104. My biggest concern is the degree to which we, the rest of world, depends on certain things like Rare Earth metals, we are just beginning to bring that back to USA, and chips from Taiwan.
    4
  2105.  @simonmeszaros2770  Typical for this propaganda channel TBH. Not to say there is no value here, it's just not to be taken at face value.
    4
  2106. Legacy brands and ICE cars are not selling, BYD and Tesla among others are selling record numbers. Similar in Europe and USA regarding lazy Legacy losers, pretty much all of them are failing. Chinese want tech and software, that eliminates all old auto MFGs.
    4
  2107. It's always an asinine assertion, if the profits are so great there will be increased production and competition to balance it. Exxon doesn't control anything but Exxon. No one gave a crap that XOM has been in the toilet for 5 yrs straight nor should they, same with profits, not your biz unless you are invested in them.

  2126. There has always been great opportunities in American industries, straight out of high school if you like with excellent pay after you make yourself indispensable via experience, ethics and skills. Today even more than ever the pay can be excellent as we have foolishly stigmatized any job that doesn't require a college diploma therefore creating shortage of good men in the trades. Salt may not be the most interesting but machinery maintenance skills carry across industries and around the globe.

We don't owe you your existence that's your minimum responsibility. If that's not your thing then go out in woods and live off the land just like our recent ancestors always did, some call that recreation but it's not easy. An easy life never was possible why would it be now? You can call that ultimate freedom "Slavery to Nature" since you don't know what slavery is.

Others may eventually reproduce aspects of the culture in many industries but I agree. Elon is transforming far more than just sustainable energy but also what a CEO should be, fundamental ways to run a biz from trivializing job classifications and college degrees to hierarchy nonsense and even how to value a stock. (AMZN broke a lot of ground on the stock market front) Deff believe Elon is crucial to further speed, vision and progress, however Tesla and SpaceX would continue to thrive for decades without him, just not as much.
    4
  2162.  @ken-mb5cp  Good point. American Co.s did get schooled tho and did advance significantly from the competition. Agility doesn't seem to have penetrated the Old Guard at all yet. It's healthy creative destruction for them to be replaced and the union mafias to go down with them. 100 yrs is a long time for any company. I came from a time when Sears was nearly indispensable in rural America, now forgotten and not missed. Amazon is infinitely better.

TLTR! ::: (((I don't relish pain or suffering for many, but inconvenience, 'paying up', finding poor quality produce, some empty shelves, entire categories missing...at least. Been lite prepping since 2020 just piles of spam, whatever canned crap being pushed by Costco. HA!... dried fruit, 25yr grub mostly in steel cans, rodent proof abuse tolerant, canned dried black beans, water, salt... even tho 'we' produce far more than we can eat in nuts around here. Grow citrus, stone fruits, berries, grapes, starting avocadoes, etc...misc. gardens... I hope I don't need much of it but a couple Benjamin's here and there plus a modest-closet-size bit of indoor space, grub and basics stockpile I can eat eventually anyway.

How about understanding the unique circumstances well enough to have CONVICTION in the longer term story such that you don't sell low but ride it out with 'ease'. Ultimately price is truth, best opportunities exist where most do not understand the potential. I thought I was clever taking 10 or 12% profit in 2 wks. with AAPL back when it was 1/8 current market value, shamefully ignorant in hindsight. Treat the market like a casino and expect odds of a slot machine.

I was looking at it from a prospective employer, or anyone who cared to take an chance and help her go a more productive direction, what concerns would be on top of list. Some prostitutes, I assume a minority, like their work (I've talked to a couple), she doesn't seem to be one of them to state the obvious. I'd want to see determination to change directions before hypothetically investing in that effort...just as anyone else would. If she really wanted to continue renting her bod then at least move to Reno or Vegas where it can be done safely and still very lucrative....especially for one as attractive and decent as her.

Tesla currently has near 100% of the BEV profits, obviously that can only go down but taking around half entire global profits seems likely in, say 10 yrs.

  2190. Expected to optimize tradeoffs between mass energy density and thermal management and can be used as structural element. Common form factors are much smaller, relics of consumer electronic applications and less suited for large packs. Also Tesla is struggling with dry fabrication process as apposed to established wet with toxic solvent method, dry process supposed to dramatically reduce production line footprint, CapX and eventually accelerate production rate. Some 90% of wet process footprint is just for drying the cells and capturing solvent vapors. Naturally you'd expect fewer larger parts means fewer problems, better reliability. How it all pans out remains to be seen, Tesla continues to use multiple form factors but the semi and CT as well as structural batt pack Y's all require 4680s, a lot is riding on them.

  2212.  @PatrickWagz  Pilots and aircraft experts often use the generic term "gas" for any fuel used. Short hand, everyone knows it's not natural gas or hydrogen nor necessarily gasoline, it's liquid FUEL. Similar to calling gasoline "gas" when it's not air which is a real gas. Get it?? instead of being a pointless Poindexter, try to stay on topic and realize context matters. Aircraft fuel is often called gas even tho no such literal thing is ever used in aircraft engines, not until it enters the engine at least.

  2213. Indeed. We used to have similar bounty almost yr round in the Columbia watershed, dams devastated that and the multi-millennia native's way of life along with a significant branch of orcas that depended on the huge salmon. Those dams are losing their use case and may eventually, foreseeably be removed. Salmon runs can quickly rebound when dams removed.

  2217. What's your solution? Make everyone equally poor? Monetary policy is saving us from Great Depression 2.0, or at least reducing the severity. It's not cost free any more than PPP which was necessary mainly due to half the nation having zero monetary self discipline which is inexcusable and reckless--so we have socialized the risk for individual profit. It's the same as bailing out the banks, an unfortunate necessity except this time is bottom up instead of top down.

    4
  2235. I suspect they will exceed those time frames as they have with recent production projections of Model Y and Shanghai. Yes they have a history of missing time targets but not so much recently with glaring exception of FSD. 1) I think they have learned the lesson of UPOD, 2) they don't want to cannibalize current products with near term major advancement proclamations due to serious respect for the "Osborn Effect".

(worth watch some of his longer vids) It's pointless to worry or react to economic prognostications--it's normally wrong anyway and there's always a reason, or litany of reasons to be scared out of the market. ALWAYS. Ppl lose bc they react emotionally, all the folks who got burned in 2008/9 did so only due to selling low and failing to reinvest quickly. They screwed themselves via elementary errors.

  2258. Tesla wasn't mean to you--you were foolish enough to trade it , you should have been up some 10 to 20X over 4 yrs just buying and holding.

  2259. Yup...becoming redundant...in a good way.

  2263. Starting with Trump??
    4
  2264. Run rate will be well over 2M by end of this yr.
    4
  2265. TSLA was cut by 60% in 1st half of last yr (from prior highs) then again 30% later, but still up some 6X for the yr. It's always been volatile like that, get over it already.
    4
  2266. Andrew has been perhaps the only MNM dude asking the right questions for months on this issue and he's doing OK here too.
    4
  2267. Nope. None of the above. Only Chinese Co.s will be serious competition for Tesla, VW may survive the decade intact and produce decent numbers, most legacies are screwed.
    4
  2268. Meaning he makes total sense? That's lunacy in this insane political landscape.
    4
  2269. I knew his take on TSLA would be good just from the thumbs. HA!

    4
  2274. Like it does every other week for a decade now right? It's called volatility which is part of the reason TSLA isn't for wussies. :D
    4
  2275.  @dougmanzo9648  Not sure where to go with that but 'bargain' it was NOT, generally considered he over paid by 2 or 3X. However--the alternative of creating a platform from scratch, which he considered, is the time it takes to gain popularity and high risk it would never reach "critical mass".
    4
  2276. Maybe but not for your reasons, rescinding Elon's comp package is a stain on Delaware not Tesla and the market agrees. If anything--shrugging off BS "bad news" is good news for the stock, nothing new, we've been dealing with extreme bias against Tesla/Elon for over a decade.
    4
  2277. Not a chance Elon will approve such an idiotic ad, a Tesla advert will be entertaining and informative above all else.

  2278. 37:40 wouldn't dispute anything said but YOU should have slowed just given the cluster fuck ahead of you. Lights are not concrete barriers but a suggestion instead, correcting other idiots mistakes is part of your job as driver.

    4
  2285.  @jeremiegca  "...come at the price of those on the factory floor making them..." WTF? Do you suppose they took employment there out of charity to Elon or something?? Hopefully unions will not be necessary as they almost always create a toxic work environment where workers focus on fighting management and management becomes petty and vindictive instead of everyone rowing in the SAME DIRECTION for a common purpose as though they are all in the same BOAT, because they ARE.

  2292.  @nanowolf3718  No research required and they mentioned it was "nose cone" or something. Obvious only the crew compartment would be subject to extreme pressures, too difficult at that. All the rest would be pressure equalized--water pressure from all directions, essentially zero stress except for pure compression which most structural materials aren't fazed by at these levels. Specific mode of failure is interesting, but haven't found it compelling enough to study. Whole thing seemed stupid which is not a learning experience for me, lol.

  2311.  @danielmanly4793  The most depressing scary realization for me in last few yrs, I know, naïve, but I really thought: "Liberty and Justice for All" were core American values STILL.

  2319.  @bujdosotibor4674  That's your indoctrination, or ONE popular narrative, it's not entirely accurate. For example: large herbivores including cows, bison, and so on, are a crucial part of a healthy landscape. Not factory farms but done properly. For those who favor depopulation, obviously they need to start with themselves, either way THEY will tend to die out, not those who disagree with that assessment. Get some perspective, read some history, things have never been easier, better or more peaceful despite all our problems.

  2326.  @vandamonium1731  Do your homework before spouting your speculations. Batt recovery is around 95 to 98% of each element. The elements don't just evaporate, they can be collected. I've worked in metal mine mills where the vast majority of material is nothing but worthless ground rock and yet we get high 90's% recovery, all sorts of miscellaneous other metals mixed in and still we manage to sort it all out via carefully tuned flotation, etc. Any tiny % loss is money down the toilet. In short--you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.

    4
  2333.  @thomasmcgillivray3997  I'm sure you are just about the smartest dude on Earth, obviously smarter then Mr. Musk. But difficult things get done sometimes just the same and I expect it won't be insurmountable to create autonomous cars that are 10X better than humans within a few yr.s. In fact most of the major automotive manufactures are betting big on exactly that.

    4
  2337. Maybe. Could be coincidence but it looks bad, I have sell orders on my modest BA stock. There are serious consequences for grounding fleets of aircraft too, if need be yes but you don't do it in an emotional reaction. I think FAA, Boeing and airlines can deal with this, all these entities are in constant dialog on any and all issues regarding safety, they didn't become so spectacularly safe for nothing...you can't walk from your house to the curb as safe as flying across the nation. In the several yr.s post 9/11 attacks our response with painfully long security lines at airports, killed more thousands of folks than died that one day...ppl started driving long distances in their cars more, FAR more dangerous than any airline could possibly be.

  2344.  @ejay2075  OH YES they did! Elon contacted Tim Cook in 2018 (if memory serves) when Tesla was on the ropes ramping M3 production and Tim didn't even return the call. Biggest best mistake Tim ever made, could have cost me a fortune. Tesla was having trouble making payroll a number of times over the yrs.
    4
  2345. And made millions with insider trading she helped make legal. Such a disgusting individual.
    4
  2346. Tesla actually mass produces vehicles, Rivian?....we'll see in a few yrs if they can get there.
    4
  2347. Because he's a famous short seller, he was right about Enron and a couple other things but neither he nor The Street yet understands Tesla.
    4
  2348. This is SO much like May 2019 again. 10X up likely in 4 or 5 yrs, Tesla has never been screaming down the road better.

    4
  2350. I'll look again when QS at $2 or they have something tangible to offer.
    4
  2351. Primary problem for retailers is always the same--they can't seperate their emotions from their investments, as described by Fink here 'they can't take the pain' and many will make the same mistake yet again, selling low, banking the losses and THEN getting back in much higher if at all. Emotions are enemy #1 for investing.
    4
  2352. And WHAT specifically would that be here? You are obviously penniless anyway.

  2354.  @danieldeblasio9368  GM and every other mfg has equal access to those 'subsidies' (wrong term as they are incentives for producing EVs, you don't get them unconditionally) and they don't come close to offsetting petrol subsidies.

  2366. Can't remember when it was when Elon wasn't criticized for being a unique CEO and provocative on Twitter. He works his ass off like almost no one else and does so brilliantly, that should be enough.

  2367.  @jlk630  With Gaud's own purse strings too. Goes to show that tossing money at a difficult problem is never enough, respect for Bezos but he's no Elon.
    4

    4
  2371.  420KinK  Funny or sad but so predictable. The stage was perfectly set with all the BS against Tesla for over a decade, calling Elon a fraud, etc. Then the spectacular rise of TSLA made it irresistible for the likes of Trevor Milton to tap the dumb FOMO crowd looking for the next Tesla which doesn't exist.
    4
  2372.  @shawn8847  There's a fat price for all that safety. US health care is a mess but I don't need the Nanny State to "take care of me" thanks--I prefer to take care of myself and of course it's ME taking care of the damn Nanny State. When you get a little older and start earning a good living you might get tired of supporting the sloth all around you. Or you might prefer to be lazy and live off the efforts of your betters?
    4
  2373.  @andrewglover9874  And they also take many straight out of school, not having stupid arbitrary rules but instead focusing strictly on the objects is how they thrive. Every university engineering dept. in USA picks SpaceX and Tesla as 1st choice for employment.
    4
  2374. And a few times per century they prove partially correct. It's ALWAYS hard and there are ALWAYS things to fear, you can't sit it out for that or you'll never get off your ass.
    4
  2375. Tesla employees are compensated aproximately double the US industry average, you might wanna jump ships? ;-) Quite a few are also millionaires on stock options over only last 4 or 5 yrs, not that that will likely be repeated in such a short time but over this decade certainly likely.

  2380. CCP is terrified of any narrative not endorsed by themselves, terrified the ppl will know too much...and it's getting worse. At least we can criticize our governments and impose our will if we care enough.
    4
  2381. Closer to 3M units next yr without price cuts.
    4
  2382. Maybe. Biden is NO gem but ANYONE is a dramatic improvement. The tendency toward confirmation bias feedback loop radicalism will not be solved until we ALL individually vow to challenge our own beliefs FIRST and foremost. We are all wrong, it's just a matter of degree.

  2383. Twitter has thrived and advanced more in 10 weeks than the prior 10 yrs.

  2384. Major lawsuit entirely valid. Bureaucrats just admitted violation of 1A.
    4
  2385. @John Smith Why don't you examine her track record before spouting childish rhetoric we've all heard time and again? Her fund is as heavily invested in TSLA as it's rules allow. Maybe you will decide to invest in it too and get ahead instead of missing out AGAIN and continuing your bitter trajectory of failure.

  2390. I don't think that was his conclusion.
    4
  2391. So many competitive cards Tesla will play--imagine cars delivering themselves eliminating a host of logistics costs and inefficiencies. Self loading to ships, unloading and eventually driving from railhead, port or factory to owners. That must be worth a couple grand I'd think, per car. (not an original thought but worth reminding)
    4
  2392. That bad? Buy American, aka., Tesla. ;-)
    4
  2393. Would Tesla have the data anytime FSD is actually turned on? I thought that was the the whole point of all those FSD miles. Surely Dan O'Tool wouldn't be that stupid but if FSD was active then it certainly should know when--say the accelerator was used to override it.

  2394.  @jsbrads1  I was thinking they may have "greenhoused" them? Sounds like a good idea on the surface but reinforcing roofs could be a significant issue.

  2395. Prior to one fatality from a blown out window in 2018 there were zero fatalities in the entire USA for NINE YR.S They are insanely safe. When self serving Nader get's his way airliner ticket prices will increase leading to more surface transportation and many needless extra deaths. Capitalism has resulted in unbelievably inexpensive and safe travel despite Boeing's serious fuckup in this instance.

  2396. NOT advocating a no fly zone but NATO has more justification to that airspace than Russia does, just ask Ukraine. Putin fearing that makes me think it could be the right move. We could sweep those skies in a matter of hours. Sanctions an act of war?? Sorry dude but you know better and much worse can happen, be grateful for sanctions, we pay a high price too but we can peacefully NOT DO BUSINESS with you. Not OK to take it out on Russians, this is about PUTIN only.

(since the '60's) But why does it matter so much? Why can't Cuban's be reasonably prosperous on their own? Only because Communism punishes productivity and rewards sloth with predictable results.

  2406.  @federalreservebrown2507  I've worked with structural steel daily for 4 decades and counting. I've seen steel fail with under ZERO load other than it's own weight in 30 minutes of wood and or fuel fires. WTC 1 and 2 never had a chance the only surprise is how long they stood under such severe conditions. 7 had some significant damage from massive debris crashing from 1 & 2 but it was doomed anyway from fires not fought and water mains severed. There is damn good reason why the steel is typically thermally insulated and it's NOT to keep it cozy, it buys time to fight the fire and evacuate but eventually heat penetrates the insulation and the steel WILL FAIL. The old engineering building I went to school in had some massive wood beams to support the structure longer in the event of fire as it actually takes longer for big wood to burn enough to fail than for steel to heat to failure temperature.

  2407.  @federalreservebrown2507  OMfG you still fall for that religion after 2 decades!

  2409.  @WingWalker1  Sounds like a massive business opportunity, why don't YOU start an insurance company and make an instant fortune!

  2411.  @humanityrising9378  I dunno if your toying with me or what but I'll welcome any civilized discussion from these parts. hehehe

  2412. How profound and original. Who knew? (besides everyone)

  2413. And he either replaces with another Tesla or pays more for an inferior alternative. My bet - he buys another Tesla when no one is looking.

  2414. Disrespectful is no excuse for physical response, such a weak man deserve disrespect.

  2415. Our wonderful CIA contributed to the Brazilian disaster.

  2416. I've ended most of my relationships.

  2417. You are always taking her from another, no point worrying about it. If she leaves so be it, if caught cheating demote her to FB if she's worth that.
    4
  2418. I've ended most of my relationships. And some others we had become bored w eachother and she finalized it.
    4
  2419.  @niklashansen5289  No idea who you are referring to.

  2421.  @JamesHazelrig  More about exercising their authority without risk. Highest tax payers get punished the most.
    4
  2422.  @MatthewBerginGarage  Quality new batts will outlast an ICE engine, you'll want a newer better car in, say 250k miles, anyway. Batt is a non-issue in most cases. But choice is paramount, let the market sort it out, and I want to continue option of an old ICE sports car for weekends, or whatever.

  2423.  @donkykon2094  No one knows but my guess is $250k or more.
    4
  2424. Elon sandbagged the gen 3 platform as they've been doing for some time. Surprised some of what Sandy didn't know like the pilot next gen to be in TX.
    4
  2425.  @vinumcopia9850  I believe Sandy said they are tearing down new M3, how could they not? I suspect this has been recorded some time ago.

  2426. 12:09 weld completely missed and accomplishing nothing. Some of these welds are as bad as it gets, just terrible. (been in the welding biz for 45 yrs)

  2427. Going to jail eventually. Yeah the sleaziest joke on stupid gamblers in recent memory.
    4
  2428. Even tho they grabbed every homeless dude off the street for show and tell.
    4
  2429. Just rebadging.
    4
  2430. How they allow incessant infuriating 'bells and bongs' to make the cut is beyond me. Poor seats a deal breaker, esp for a "luxury" car.
    4
  2431. Front end so hideous I'd expect HOAs to ban it and neighbors to toss rocks at it.
    4
  2432. Great that we can still get a lot out of it. I have ME degree (mech engineering) and I struggle with the software/systems/computer stuff.
    4
  2433. Cool that they have an equal shot at it NOT cool if it's a requirement for such positions.
    4
  2434. It was designed specifically to fleece naïve, noob Robinhooders and has succeed at such to an impressive degree.
    4
  2435.  @andrewm8531  Efficiency matters unless U have more money than U know what to do with. Most charge at home almost all the time rendering charging spd mostly irrelevant. Many haven't been to a pubic charger in yrs. You'll not only pay more to charge but take longer for given charge spd. CT needs to and will improve via OTA updates, all Teslas get better over time. Did a Bolt ever do that? Can this GM? How often do U tow? Most never do.
    4
  2436. According to Elon it was well earned.
    4
  2437.  @puta1082  They got some cool new toys for 'free', I agree doesn't need any "disclosure".
    4
  2438. Toughest SOB ever. Must have been valuable member. Maybe used his feet as makeshift 2nd hand like a few humans can today. Incredible versatile diet gave them a chance.
    4
  2439. I was fretting over condition of gas pump. Jeeze that was close.
    4
  2440.  @gjbsarmeri3957  "how situation escalated" WTF? Use a gun to carjack and get what you were begging for.
    4
  2441.  @Bubba__Sawyer  Insane obviously. Cop was kidding in his own way, lol.
    4
  2442. And it's OBVIOUS this has nothing to do with monetary gain for him, that's laughable. It may result in gains but that's far from certain especially as he paid way more than it's worth.
    4
  2443.  @JuanGarcia-ep2yh  What has JB said that was accurate? List ONE thing. Are you not also part of a cult? T lies a lot but he didn't prosecute political opponents, even those than should have been. (previously apposed T, *will not make that mistake again*)
    4
  2444.  @ellenelder9941  Start with perjury before congress perhaps. We know he's guilty of that much.
    4
  2445.  @b00nz0r  Prove it. More importantly--prove that Elon has any such qualities.
    4
  2446. Reps on the take as usual.
    4
  2447. This dude in first 3 minutes is SO clueless I'm done at that point. He has no idea and just applies his preconceptions to fill in the blanks.
    4
  2448.  @Autojones  I may have thought Hunter's laptop was real and totally incriminated the Big Guy.
    4
  2449. Higher CO2 helps my organic gardens thrive. Ravaging the oceans is definitely a bigger concern and excess emphasis in one area causes neglect in others. The Left don't want universal wealth when they can have universal poverty instead.
    4
  2450. They were in collusion all the way, why would they admit guilt?
    4
  2451. That takes time, almost never happens instantly like that.
    4
  2452.  @realityDoubleCheck-ss5xt  Of course and the law stipulates same.
    4
  2453. Are the rest of us far behind? If we don't take action.
    4
  2454. As a farther N. Commifornian *Lifer*...I resemble that sentiment. But the wild landscape, pristine High Sierra backcountry, redwoods, coast, climate the entire combo....impossible to duplicate just about anywhere.
    4
  2455.  @HappyLife-wv5ms  He has a point but it's best left behind where it came from. Cross out LEFT and RIGHT focus on FORWARD.
    4
  2456. You realize that the electorate is not one monolithic entity? That differing views are prevalent and that many less populated parts of Commifornia are actually red??
    4
  2457.  @philipduffy6581  If you think Elon is one of them than you don't know anything about him.
    4
  2458. SOME things--this tends to refute that, he couldn't have been that clueless.
    4
  2459. At what point does hiding out become resignation of office?
    4
  2460. All we need to do is boycott them, not that hard with a little practice. ;-) I recently added LAT (Los Angeles Times) to my list after their roll in deception during recall attempt on Kim Jung Newsom.

  2461. "....will commit atrocities." I believe he said.

  2462. See 2nd reply, it's not a mystery, it's overt policy.
    4
  2463.  @DM-dk7js  Old family doctor of ours once said: "The less crap you have injected the better." No question vaccines are a great thing in general but it's almost certain to do more harm than good to a young child, they all but never get a bad case of Covid and some will react badly to the stab. More to the point--Leftists leaning toward Communism don't believe in individual ownership of anything including your children ....not yours they belong to the collective, the village. They balk at parents even examining their kids school curriculum which often alarms parents.
    4
  2464. 80% Yes, no surprise, lol.
    4
  2465. I'm so out of touch with sports didn't know who he was, also not religious but I'm impressed and encouraged that real men still exist.
    4
  2466. Mr. T is off-putting, I don't dig his "Desanctamonious" type shit, but results rule, I'll take him and relish at the mental breakdown from the Left. lol.
    4
  2467. I'm entrenched in farther NorCali and can't bring self to separate from the natural landscape. Loath flatlands and big part of my 'soul' resides in high Sierra wilderness, I don't suffer the near the worst of it which is urban. IDK if it can be turned around anytime soon with those of most like mind to me fleeing.
    4
  2468.  @JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist  I remember when the farther Left stood for "Question Authority", a stock hippy slogan, and free expression. How things have changed.
    4
  2469.  @JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist  Yeah that's the fundamental of it all. That Trump's account is even controversial speaks volumes. I don't love him either but that's entirely irrelevant.
    4
  2470. Another reason many are upset is they paid around $15k for their blue check, Twits were commonly illicitly selling that feature to celebs and pundits apparently.
    4
  2471. Common on now--all that free wine causes fatigue.
    4
  2472. Part of the problem is 80% of Americans live in cities disconnected to the realities of where their food comes from. Pending food insecurity may begin to correct that problem.
    4
  2473. Also and primarily a message of HOPE. As mentioned on All In Podcast half jokingly--Mars is the ultimate Galt's Gulch.
    4
  2474. It's what they've been doing.
    4
  2475.  @PlanetLuthian  The horrible publicity should be the biggest hit. I don't think they'll entirely control that narrative. Frankly corporate media is becoming obsolete.
    4
  2476. I don't think such wealth is necessarily healthy for the recipient but I hope MNM get their heads handed to them.
    4
  2477.  @jimmoses6617  Not so strong that CNN hasn't lost 75% of it's views in the last yr tho I guess. Solid lies and deception from them.
    4
  2478.  @ollie-lk5dx  Unfortunately, highly educated means highly indoctrinated today, and only in one direction.
    4
  2479. LOL! You have the Establishment propaganda down cold. Good TOOL. 😄
    4
  2480.  @georgelan9985  Insurance required for all motor vehicles for good reason. When FSD is 100X safer than human, are you still going to whine about the exceptions? Anyone who slows it down has blood on their hands.
    4
  2481. They will when it goes "unsupervised". Won't be long. People aren't ready to be safe drivers, look at the numbers. It appears to have saved a lot of lives already, some 20 folks die and 200 maimed or lifelong altered, every day in USA from lousy human drivers, yet every single one involving Tesla where someone mentions AP or FSD, national headlines.
    4
  2482. Concerning data security--if they can trust Tesla to honor strict localization rules, etc., why not trust same data secured at USA facility? Distance is a mater of seconds difference if one chooses to misuse it.
    4
  2483. Dimon for president!
    4
  2484. And Apple too? Wasn't too long ago when prominent displays of stomping on Iphones was all the rage.
    4
  2485. Really? How so? 48V architecture? Steer by wire? 17" ground clearance? Too tough for a truck? Too quick and powerful? Bi-directional charging? 4-wheel steering? 150k mile/8yr warranty?
    4
  2486. Don't forget you are viewing rare exclusive selection here and that propaganda was rife all along. When our Vietnam soldiers watched daily war news they didn't recognize the situation.
    4
  2487. She seemed happy, smart and well adjusted. Just because she doesn't recommend it to others doesn't mean she regrets it. Fantastic money is never easy, eventually people will grow up and realize how hypocritical they are condemning such actors on one hand and supporting them by watching when no one is looking.
    4
  2488. Communists can and do.
    4
  2489.  @billolsen4360  And now we have the worst sort of corrupt seniors, the one's legally insider trading in DC, subsidizing GM.
    4
  2490.  @charlesmichaels6648  Obviously I'm not reading all that. Maybe you don't remember what it was like in America BEFORE the EPA. I do. You might remember when closing the garage door and leaving the engine running was a quick easy way to commit suicide...doesn't work near as well today. Free markets should dominate but they fail anytime you have "concentrated rewards with distributed costs." ....making the environment toxic might profit one entity while they only pay the small, universally distributed price along with millions of others, naturally the 'others' are polluting too. Soon things become unlivable. See Beijing in recent yr.s or Los Angeles in 1970. Agencies involved in dirty deeds, corruption or whatever--it's not trivial, but don't think it's OK for you to simplify your car by removing emissions equipment, society rightly won't put up with it. When's the last time you happened to find yourself behind a 1960's American car?...just ONE CAR stinks up the whole road, they all used to be that way in the bad old day's when USA rivers literally caught on fire as they were industrial/general sewers. I'll put up with some form of EPA first.

  2491.  @cnordegren  It would have to become unrecognizable almost, the original shape is aerodynamically terrible.
    4
  2492. Same here, only added 10 just over $400 but if you believe in the long term story it's still "cheap". I'm going to buy more, cash is trash and I have a bit too much of it.
    4
  2493. That was a stupid comment.
    4
  2494.  @enriquegentry5629  GOOD to hear that, it's supposed to be a pretty good car for many folks. Chinese are soon going to 'flood' American market with much more advanced less expensive options. GM is screwed best I can see, drowning in debt slow innovation and crippled by UAW, etc.
    4
  2495. OH NO. Not another GM partnership with a start up! :D (I suspect this one might actually be real)
    4
  2496.  @Ftroo-eu3cx  Even if that's the case your talking about massive pumping costs and pipeline investment making an already expensive water maybe several times more expensive.
    4
  2497. And then do WHAT with the salt? No conceivable use for that much. Natural evaporation is causing vastly more 'brine' constantly, it's just distributed evenly. It's not as tho desal has any effect on ocean salinity on average what so ever. Same amount of salt in the oceans so it's just a matter of dilution/distribution.
    4
  2498. It's the nature of being listed on a stock exchange and offering equity, if you can't handle criticism from all sides, too bad. It's not a realm for fragile children. Best not own individual stocks if you can't consider both the bear case and bull case.
    4
  2499. Can't remember last time I bought OJ. Grow and squeeze my own, not even the same stuff really, vastly superior but requires significant time and effort.
    4
  2500. And anger at the media for hyping and creating this disaster.
    4
  2501. $3500 now. hahaha

  2502. Governments are the ultimate monopoly, that means they have no incentive to serve their customers, us.

  2503. Self discipline maybe?? No one could be that clueless.
    4
  2504.  Politically Incorrect Bender  HA! You got me there.

  2505. Hay wagons (pickups) and SUVs are crap on the road anyway, I only suffer one when I absolutely have to which is much of the time.
    4
  2506. forever Are you high on something? What's the matter with you?
    4
  2507. OK Newsom--- slash the heck out of crippling regulations, Cali ran mining out of town decades ago, I'll be shocked if YOU can make it viable again. Washington could help by getting out of the way. I used to do contract process equipment fabrication for Silver Peak operation. (was Foote Mineral back then)
    4
  2508. And the societal stigmatization of ALL trades, especially if they get your hands dirty. Mention to a young person all the 6 figure opportunities in the trades (there's plenty) and their eyes glaze over, they've been indoctrinated to believe any job including manual work is beneath them, only for losers or whatever. It's mindless. Some of the smartest most disciplined workers I know are freelance diesel mechanics, much smarter than many engineers I've known.
    4
  2509. Market cap covers all bases. No need to have a complex formula including "safety", bla bla bla. I think it's great they are not only upsetting all other conventions but CEO pay as well, tied directly to the most fundamental performance indicator and in a way that it can't be manipulated. Elon can't just pop the stock and sell his shares, he has to wait half a decade.
    4
  2510.  @russdog06  Be specific.
    4
  2511. Both.

  2512. You could say "Jesus" or you could say "Shit!"....it's the same thing. :D
    4
  2513. Stanley was the most laughable fraud of the 20th century and anyone stupid enough to "invest" in him did and deserved to lose every penny.
    4
  2514. Nothing wrong and a lot right about reading and following manufacturers recommendations, no need for fear just be prudent.
    4
  2515. Solid content, bleak and real. As American I hope my weak rudderless government can still help significantly at least with weapons and supplies.

  2518. Monocultures in rows are not forests, they are tree farms with the same problems as general agriculture.
    4
  2519. No one should rely on SSI, sympathies to those who do but it's a big failure.
    4
  2520. NO WAY install is only $1500, double or triple that minimum.
    4
  2521. Compensation should be tied to company performance, top to bottom, but especially at the top, CEO should be paid primarily in stock and not allowed to sell for 5yrs post term. Hourly folks should get stock options at a discount and encouraged to invest, everyone should have skin in the game beyond just their regular pay.
    4
  2522. It's their job description, turn everything into drama. Winter in the Sierras, situation normal. Driven those roads 4 decades and you could never expect easygoing mid winter on I-80, but it's highly maintained, they throw TONS of equipment to clear primary artery. Never closed for long.
    4
  2523. It's just a media clickbait term, situation normal, we call this winter in NorCali.

  2524. ​ @kevinwake8789  Now that he's in the spotlight. . Notice his multi-felony record, child predator mentioned? IDK for sure at this pt.
    4
  2525. No easy solutions at THIS point to these catastrophic conditions WE have created but it doesn't have to be like this. Over a century ago fires were almost seasonal and they were healthy , necessary to keep the forest open and to prevent the possibility of these devastating, inevitable catastrophes. How many such disasters before we are motivated to take the necessary actions to reverse decades of mismanagement of our Western wild lands? The fact that some native tree species can't reproduce until fire burns under them should be highly compelling as to the necessity of frequent low level, cleansing fires in these areas.

  2526. They were simply mentioning examples there are far more similar things being done.

  2527.  @D1ndo  Iron and lithium are everywhere and phosphate doesn't come from jungles or marine floors either. You can dream whatever you want, that doesn't make it viable nor necessary.
    4
  2528.  mr fantastic  Endless opportunities in the TRADES, this is not news. 6 figures plus available with only a few yrs investment in acquiring skills. Much of that is far harder to robotize than driving. Is investing in yourself, building work ethics, integrity and valuable capabilities beyond your consideration?
    4
  2529.  @RyanSellman1  No. I cross shop at Home Depo and they beat Amazon on price often and with free home delivery, Grainger has gotten it together online with great customer service and prices, McMaster Carr has stuff few others do, and many others are doing fine. Amazon doesn't have it all and their prices are not always competitive. America became grossly over capacity with malls anyway compared to other countries, 4X the square footage, those were due for a retreat.
    4
  2530.  @mannfan12  However--there is room for both and those with no credit card, or Walmart regulars, it works for them. Walmart has a workable model and competition is crucial, Amazon is getting a bit too powerful.

  2542.  @carbon5362  Let's hope it stays that way.
    4
  2543.  @garrettmillard525  What makes U suspect fusion will be cheap? I see being the most expensive ever invented, ridiculously expensive. Certainly as it's being done in these experiments, no one will be able to afford it. Carbon capture probably shouldn't ever happen, more CO2 is better for now and cheaper better options are coming for fossil fuels. Cheap energy will be solar coupled with storage, mostly batteries foreseeably. CO2 isn't remotely THE driver of climate, it's a bit player and unfortunate distraction from a litany of real problems. CO2 is greening the planet and significantly increasing crop yields while reducing water requirements.
    4
  2544.  @juliuscaesar5270  By solve you mean economically viable I assume, which is way beyond energy break even and won't solve all our problems, not even close. It may help w energy problems but only if it is cheaper than solar coupled w storage. Quite a stretch from here. Our energy issues seem easy compared to other problems we face.

  2545. Henry Kissinger involvement would trip my radar.

    4
  2548.  @grizzleypeak  Having been pulled many times, usually for speed, doing everything right will usually get me off with something trivial like a fix-it-ticket for window tint or warning. On a hot August day--find a shady safe place for both to park even if out of the way a bit, that get's many brownie points. (just an example, keep them out of the mud or a puddle or stuck in an awkward location) ATTITUDE, cop will always do an attitude test, so be nice, a bit contrite and be honest. Nothing more insulting than denying what you know the cop knows you did. I got pulled for a tag 6 months out of date and wasn't towed.

  2549. Wonder what the law has to say about pealing sticker back to last prior yr of same color? I've done that in my youth. hehehe
    4
  2550. Fossil fuels are 'mined' at huge environmental cost we have long accepted, consumed in a day/wk and only used once. Li batteries last a decade or two, then become high grade ore, profitable to recycle w 90% plus recovery of all metals....over and over....
    4
  2551. Sort of obvious but yes, not just the occupants either but the machine itself.
    4
  2552.  @sismith5427  Tesla was created by JB Strobel and Elon, the other two were briefly involved but didn't contribute much but one of them has nothing better to do then edit Wikipedia to claim credit for something he had little to do with. SpaceX capture 80% of the global LEO access via the most reliable rockets ever and ONLY to ever be reusable in an economical fashion, cutting orbital access cost by 10X. Without SpaceX we'd still be relying on Russians for space station access. Instead of allowing your emotions to control your beliefs, how about tuning into reality?
    4
  2553.  @Joe-qv6jh  Yes of course, can barely spell me own name. 1st trans I ever rebuilt too, probably didn't need it, didn't know better, just ball bearings and sycros and such.
    4
  2554.  @allieflounder5764  Lol, not even close, Chuck is good but one dimensional, Cyberlyft is so full of himself and talking about himself I can barely listen to him. AI DRIVR offers in depth consideration, analysis, criticism and comparisons.

  2557. Best because these two are so damn good and actually tell important details.
    4
  2558.  @geoffshelley2427  It's already way better than Waymo. Tesla could start robotaxis right now with fewer background teleoperators than Waymo requires.
    4
  2559.  @d.l.d.l.8140  On the surface U have a point but maybe they dove deep and Elon's choice was just the catalyst. Anyway--more thoughtful than allowing the Establishment to tell us what to think as half the nation does.
    4
  2560. Vietnam vets have said they didn't recognize the war as portrayed on nightly news. Propaganda definitely not new. Back then hippy slogans: "Question authority" Anti-Establishment stuff were primary themes.

    4
  2566. It was being done routinely here in the USA, still is on anything not X.
    4
  2567. I was very pleased those sleaze balls didn't invite Tesla, cringy to think of such an interaction. However--ALL the lawfare against thousands of Americans, Mr. T. especially, next Elon, hardened my resolve. 1st time in 44 yrs voting the decision was easy, I too voted against T previously.

  2568. Ideally all those minerals would be returned to the fields they came from but that's rarely done or feasible. I'd love it for compost. If intercepted clean right out of the plant one could make brandy, or....? By far best brandy ever had was from wine brewing tank SLUDGE.

  2569.  @addanametocontinue  Here in America we forget our recent past century or so... we too went thru such fazes and came out alright. (ask me about American underground coal mines in 1980 even, great adventure and pay for a young fast thinking athletic man, but NOT safe) Just perspective, not a moral or policy judgement.

Shutdowns and all the rest saved none and killed many That is not disputable and should have been suspected from day one. WHO THE HELL are YOU to tell me to lockdown?!? Do it yourself. 3) WTF?? 4) Biden is owned by the money he collected for decades from the most corrupt entity in America, the UAW. You OK with that?? 5) WTF again?? 6) WTF???? Get HELP dude.

  2651. Conspiracy to suppress is a hell of a stretch, that's not even possible, and they should get credit for creating the EV1, curtailing it was later recognized as a big mistake (by the CEO of the time) but they couldn't cost effectively support the small number out there, it only had a 40 mile range and they couldn't see a way forward with it. Batt tech simply wasn't ready for beyond short range with heavy lead acid batts that wouldn't last many yrs. Presumably that's why it was leased instead of sold outright. That said--I look forward to GM's extinction for a host of other reasons.

  2659. Agreeing to build supporting infrastructure isn't exactly a gift to Tesla, it's required for all related extra development. Temporary cutting taxes is a gift, a sensible one. Government taking some risk along with Tesla and the rest, they have skin in the game and incentive to help make it payoff.

  2661. I used to spend 20 or 30 minutes idling my V8 1-ton service truck on a 10 or 20F morning to thaw it out, that means wasted range and time, time that a BEV will do on it's own.

  2664.  @Battleneter  Quit panicking and pretending that something new is happening. Get perspective, Elon thrives on drama and apparently his enterprises do too. It's always portrayed as "unhinged and destructive" but never turns out to be. Happens every yr to one degree or another. If you are a Noob investor, this may not be for you, think S&P instead.

  2668. Passed old Model S today, at speed only way to date it was the fake grill, still looked very good and modern. New gen S significantly more attractive tho subtle differences, they got it pretty much right the 1st time. Dramatic styling looks dumb and ages fast. 3 also mostly nice looking in 'timeless' way. I hope they add adaptive laser headlights, lessor brands blow Tesla lights away, at least as an option maybe not for everyone, I'd pay a few grand extra. Country/mountain night driving they really shine--could prevent hitting deer or rock in the road, reduce stress significantly.

Initially thought I'd get the stab, very pro vacc in general, but the way it was rushed and propaganda around the whole thing, decided to delay.

Yeah in dilute quantities it's fine, cities are concentrations of everything tho. I have no specific interest in Venice per se, it's just an iconic fascinating place that I hope persists and thrives. If they want to shit where they live--not my concern. Tangent::: Don't want to sound crude but I fertilized my "food forests" (modest 1/2 acre lot) with urine to a degree and wish I had practicle way to use all my waste that way, could fertilize everything beyond needs. Nothing organic leaves my place, compost everything. Some use composting toilets, respect but I'm not likely to deal with that process. Yeah I'm not much interested in these arguments anymore, said my bit, we have bigger issues to focus on.

  2691.  @geoffreycharles6330  It's been recognized for maybe 150 yrs that there are huge quantities of petrol in vast shale formations all over the globe but it was simply too difficult to extract. Fascinating technology story unfolded in the USA where early this century new methods were developed to extract it at increasingly lower cost, now profitable around $40/barrel. This turned around US production which had been declining since 1973 prior peak to where we now exceed that level of production to become #1 global producer again. Two primary factors allow this new extraction--horizontal drilling where instead of punching vertically through a layer of oil bearing formation the drill can be guided in an arc to go horizontal along the formation Second is "fracking" (controversial and banned in many places including Europe, New York State...) where extreme pressures fracture the shale and sand injected to keep cracks opened and proprietary chemicals assist in flowing. This tech has allowed USA to also become biggest NatGas producer as that is also abundant in such shales. Brazil, Asia, Euro, extensive oil/gas holding shales are now potentially economic producers roughly 10Xing available reserves. I was expecting such tech to be exported globally but for various reasons it hasn't happened. (not that we need anywhere near that much fossil fuel anyway to transition away from it entirely)

Investigations happen constantly even completely inane ones spurred by ignorant or self interested parties making racket, or legit, OR just to maintain the elusion of regulatory relevance. Oz is even dumber then America in some ways, FSD a good example of that. More ppl will die by delaying that progress but reality need not guide policy.

  2708. RS Man You seem to have a missunderstanding of what 'stall' means to an airplane--It has nothing to do with engine performance--It's all about the WING.  When a wing reaches a certain 'angle of attack' (that's the angle measured in the direction of air flow/aircraft direction--the angle between the wing and the air flow)  At some point the air is no longer flowing over the top of the wing in a way that the wing can generate efficient lift, the air 'separates' off the top of wing--goes turbulent and the lift suddenly dramatically decreases AND the drag suddenly dramatically INCREASES.  There is only one way to recover (assuming you don't have tons of excess thrust available like some fighter planes might) and that is to drop the nose (as 'all' planes will do by design automatically and as the wing stalls) and regain airspeed and recover at a lower altitude.  This 747 was beginning to recover (it appears) just before impact--it just needed another maybe 1000ft of altitude that it didn't have.  This is why stalls are very dangerous at low alt.

  2719. How about a seismic gas shutoff valve? If the structure shakes it automatically shuts off gas supply until manually reset.

  2720. Climate "crisis" is a big part of the problem as it's blown WAY out of proportion by sensational media, the science doesn't support that, not even the scientific consensus. We have much bigger problems especially over fishing the oceans, all these other things are neglected due to climate panic which is going to be largely fixed just due to the economic favorability of renewables in coming decades anyway. It's likely that 600ppm CO2 is better than where we started at dangerously low 280ppm.

  2741.  @schlafin  Not synonymous, effects are a little different but effectively still a subsidy, both tax the general population to the benefit of a select industry or group of industries. One taxes sales and the other generally income tax supported. Economists call tariffs subsidies. Either way we all pay the distributed costs for concentrated benefits. Tariffs are much less efficient mechanism and should be avoided with national security exceptions, or obviously, as retaliation for competing nations subsidies and tariffs. For sure, the more everyone deters free trade the less prosperous we all become on average. That is why The Constitution forbids tariffs between states which we sure as hell would have if allowed and the US would not be the economic powerhouse it is but more like Europe, and hence the attempt to create "the united states of Europe", or at least that was the 'proper reason', a host of other things got mixed in making that goal questionable. It was estimated that the cost to the US economy for every auto worker job save back in 1980ish was several times the wages/salaries of those jobs. Putting them on direct welfare would have been less taxing.
    3
  2742.  @schlafin  They ARE subsidies, semantics doesn't change anything. Cause and effect are to "protect" national industries profitability , aka, subsidize. This is also why trade agreements require direct subsidy limitations along with indirect such as tariffs, the effects are nearly identical . Most seem to have been duped into false distinctions by the same interests who advocate such subsidies, pretending they are something else.
    3
  2743.  @schlafin  WRONG. They subsidize certain industries with a tax that consumers pay, and nations with the highest trade friction are typically the poorest. Detroit has long benefitted by the 25% tariff on pickups and believe me YOU pay for the anti-competitive results from of F and GM, big part of the reason those two make most of their money on PUs. Be nice if you could buy a superior Toyota for 25% less, hmmm? The only exceptions might be countries that don't even have said industries to protect, then they are just akin to a sales tax. (Costa Rica)

  2744. Jay Besser Can the subsidy BS...those subsidies don't even come close to leveling the playing field with petrol vehicle subsidies. Oil has been subsidized to the tune of trillions of dollars just in the last couple decades.

  2822.  @m.a.118  Real to me is recognizing evolutionary imperatives as the driving force along with specifics of our species and close relatives. For humans and may others--male is protector, primary provider, DNA spreader, hunter, while female is reproducer, nurture, primary child care giver, homemaker and sometimes gatherer (be it picking berries, digging tubers or shopping). Many implications and complexities from that. For those suggesting "misogyny" for above, U are assuming greater value of one set of tasks over another, BOTH are crucial. Not assigning values or morality just wanting to understand and apply reality. REAL means feminine females and masculine males. Men can't be weak for example, NO ONE respects weak and a woman can never WANT to breed with "man" she doesn't respect. These tendencies are features not bugs.

  2827. The subsidies bit is highly misleading, Tesla never lobbied nor advocated subsidies (GM did) they suggested instead to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies or a carbon tax to partially level the playing field. The DOE loan Tesla received was paid back with early penalties and interest, GM and F got 50X bigger loans that they will never be able to pay back. Tesla declined a Euro $1.5B grant and apposed similar from the BBB bill. Plus Elon paid $11B just in income taxes just for last yr that's vastly beyond any "assistance" said companies received. SpaceX saved taxpayers $100's of millions.

I doubt you could even comprehend engineering and you sure couldn't last an hr in my contracting biz, but that's fine, I don't need to "be able" (betting I could do yours a hell of a lot easier than you mine) and you don't need to do mine. Specialization is not new. Good for you Patty Cakes.

Older bro had hip replacement few yrs ago, naturally he was given some of that crap as it's very painful recovery, he took half a dose one time then relied on the non-intoxicating non addictive form of cannabis for that purpose, worked for him.

  2892.  @peterdatechmen5506  I assume you HAVE read the goddamned OT? There is NO circumstance which it's OK to mandate murder for the most trivial "transgressions" imaginable, rape, pillage and genocide for ANY reasons. There simply is NOT. Yes it's disturbing to any normal human being with average INNATE ETHICS of a 5 yr. old child. Ignoring the blatant fact that GOD IS ALL RESPONSIBLE if he is indeed OMNIPOTENT, that means he could have made us incapable of horrific deeds by 'nature' and or he could at any point intervene such that an innocent child does not suffer leukemia or rape by a priest, but he chooses not to. All powerful equals all responsible, no getting around it. To claim that God's evil mandates are a proper reaction to the sometimes vile acts of his creations is ludicrous. Your smarter than that. You happen to believe a certain dogma by accident of when and where you were born, there is no reason behind any of it, quite the contrary. You can look at any other religion and pick out it's bad parts but all you manage to do is make excuses for one of the (probably THE number one historically) most horrific religions ever invented by man. You make endless ridiculous excuses for it because the edifice of your dogma has instilled terror to your core in order to manipulate you, tap your pocket book and keep you trapped. If God is truly the 'author' of the Bible than it's a test, if you fall for it, if you believe a supreme being could possibly be that hideously immoral than YOU have failed the test. But don't worry--no way that equates to your going to a lake of fire, not even A. Hitler deserves infinite torture, maybe you will simply have to suffer a few centuries of purgatory for failing to use your God given mind and innate ethics.

  2893.  @peterdatechmen5506  It IS a gory series of stories about a barbaric "God" no matter how you spin it or what the context. Couldn't he simply say: "Rape is wrong." "Genocide is never justified." "Killing a person due to his worshiping the 'wrong God' is extremely immoral." ....and so on? Nope. Instead he promoted the WORST possible tribal instincts demanding horrific acts from his followers. How can that possibly make things better?
    3
  2894.  @peterdatechmen5506  If Christianity is based on the Bible than we are lucky it's not far worse as that book is an endless stream of horrific mandates with a couple trite benign bits tossed in that normal folks can repetitively quote to pretend the Bible represents good advice and morality when it's almost entirely toxic and corrosive to the moral fabric of societies.

  2895.  @keithhunt8  I followed for a decade with increasing intensity in more recent yrs then in 2018 decided to go 'all in' for in 2019 after they proved execution on the M3, was planning for late 2019 but the shorts getting shrill and the parabolic drop convinced me to back up the truck in May/June when it finally bounced. An exception when I timed it right...then continued to add for a few months and still add a little here and there. A number of factors lead me to believe they will be rolling out new vehicles from both Berlin and Austin with NEW CELLS way ahead of stated projections which should give stock a big kick mid to late 2021. Could easily be wrong about that obviously.

  2917. If you are an investor as apposed to a trader, not much concern other than possibly a better entry point. To be an investor you MUST develop conviction in the name, in the stock and the story, there are no shortcuts in that respect. Do the homework even if it's just quality YT vids, include bear cases too. Do whatever it takes for YOU to develop enough confidence that you won't consider selling all the random down turns that will surely happen but instead consider ADDING at such times. It took me nearly a decade of following TSLA and Elon but it might only take you a weekend, lol. I went in heavy May/June of last yr. and continued to add for a while, even added a token 10 more when it cratered with the rest of the market few months ago.

I'm approaching 100 fruit/nut trees bushes and vines with a more room to grow, just getting into winter annual/perennials greens and such. Lettuces, herbs, etc., grew fantastic after some hasty planting in November last yr.

No longer tethered to gas stations, no oil changes, coolant or much of anything else to maintain. 1/4 the operating cost. Mandates are retarded, the market will determine choices and it's clear BEVs are the winner, as much as I still love my 3-pedal BMW V8... those days are numbered.

  2938. Verify that number? Mining is required for everything we do and batteries will be treated as high grade ore, endlessly recycled. No need for damned mandates, the market will kill off ICE based on simple economics, can't compete with 125MPGe and far simpler machinery. 1/4 the operating cost, BEVs will soon be the poor mans choice. I still love my old 3-pedal BMW V8, bit of a petrolhead, but it's delusional to think they will be built much longer.

Rarely is that fact mentioned as it doesn't fit the alarmist narrative. NatGas is one of primary factors (replacing coal) the USA has reduced CO2 emissions in recent yrs and for a host of other reasons it's vastly superior to coal consumption. Not many nations have achieved that but China's increases dwarf all that anyway.

  2955.  @michaelharrison3046  BTW--I come as 3rd gen mining background, more informed but biased in favor of extractive industries done right There won't be an open pit or anything spectacular changed about that valley. Nothing much cleaner than simply pumping an extremely salty shallow aquifer that could never be used for anything else, evaporating the water in the sun and wind and extracting a couple components. It's mostly solar powered with incredible efficiency. :D Those salts are from recurring lakes without outlets, filled and evaporated by climate changes for M's of yrs, massive glacial till/runoff, made lakes far bigger than the Great Lakes at times in recent past Nevada. As glaciers advance and retreat, repeat, fresh water (always some natural salts in fresh) gradually becomes far saltier than the oceans. Lake may be Yuge but shrinks to the lowest points, again, concentrating the salts. The geology retains the brine indefinitely. I assume they are dropping the small valley floor a little via the removed brine and the surface will have more salts than it used to...pending the next time ice sheets again level the N. Hemisphere, most recent only ended around 14k yrs ago, yesterday in geologic terms and well within human experience...tangent. Otherwise it will be more or less the "wasteland" it always was. Pardon caring on, sheesh.

  2997.  @ho2673  They don't care about short term children gamblers, long term takes care of itself as long as they take care of business.
    3
  2998. $100 trillion.
    3
  2999. Lucid isn't remotely a competitor, some Chinese brands most likely will be in the USA and already are elsewhere.
    3
  3000. Tesla doesn't remotely need more funding, look to GM and Ford for that, they are drowning in debt.
    3
  3001. Josh is good.
    3
  3002. SO happy Tim Cook snubbed Tesla a couple yrs ago.
    3
  3003. He's always somehow irritating but has some important ideas. His nose doesn't matter.
    3
  3004. 4 to 7X in a week isn't remotely normal.
    3
  3005. As per usual we will have to sustain massive disaster before any serious action is taken.
    3
  3006. His 'balls in a vice' reflects in his voice.
    3
  3007. Too bad you missed getting rich on it like many of us, worse still is your emotional reactions will prevent you from future massive gains. You earned your poverty. 😄
    3
  3008.  @SpockvsMcCoy  No, let it go. We are beyond tired of bailing out failure.
    3
  3009. Lol. Good luck w that.
    3
  3010. Sounds like wishful thinking from one on the sidelines.
    3
  3011. Biggest numbers are in our health care disaster.
    3
  3012.  @Beastw1ck  Really? Have some grace, don't push new converts into no place to go but your 'enemies'. Many of us were duped by popular propaganda and I'll guarantee U too have been, are still in some ways.
    3
  3013. Elon's reputation has be spectacularly enhanced by anyone with a functioning mind.
    3
  3014. Yeah PE of 1 makes sense to me!
    3
  3015. Insanity.
    3
  3016. What are you talking about, coal?? Lithium is everywhere, abundant and endlessly recyclable.
    3
  3017. I spent a few months at this mine, contracting custom steel work, out in the pond area and inside the mill, back in late 1980's. At least some (based on Google Earth) seems to still be in operation.
    3
  3018. Tax the poor 40% they contribute nothing.
    3
  3019. Good luck with that, timing is almost always a fools game with a few exceptions.
    3
  3020. Your personal limitations you should overcome, he's plenty easy to understand.
    3
  3021.  @TRAZ4004  Fear Of Missing Out--it doesn't apply to this journalist bc he's not allowed to own individual stocks anyway.
    3
  3022. "School"...in America that means babysitting.
    3
  3023. You see the worst of it that doesn't make your perspective more valuable than anyone else's. This "clown" has been right on target for over a decade that I've tuned in with prescient predictions during the most dire times.
    3
  3024. Yes you better stick to your horse.
    3
  3025. There needs to be a law preventing fools like you from reproducing.
    3
  3026. Maybe listen to the vid??
    3
  3027. Most gamblers LOSE but you don't hear them bragging about it. Far smarter to learn how to INVEST and accept that it takes yrs to see major gains.
    3
  3028. I'll believe tech 'parity' with Tesla when I see it.
    3
  3029. Profit doesn't imply disregarding mental health. The reason ppl get wealthy is normally from passion, working hard smart and not giving up.
    3
  3030. I like Ark but think he's right about ARKX...I don't want it. I want a pc of SPACE X when ever it's available and OK with Virgin, Boeing and a few others.
    3
  3031. Best Cramer rant in some time. :D
    3
  3032. Fretting over volatility is for fools and gamblers. It's just NOISE for investors to ignore.
    3
  3033.  @vivalarazausarmyvet4453  Far more land burned 100 yrs ago in the USA as a whole, 4 or 5X more. The primary problem is 6 to 7 decades of ignorant, terrible wild land management. Fire is NOT OPTIONAL, many tree species including beloved redwoods, Giant Sequoias cannot exist without fire ! When Cali was 1st established there was concerns that economic expansion would be inhibited due to the smoke, those fires were less severe bc they were seasonal, now we cause decades of fuel buildup then when the inevitable ignition happens it's catastrophic. As one NorCali 4th gen rancher put it: "Smokey Bear was the cruelest joke ever played on the West."
    3
  3034. They could at any time cut $5k off 3 and Y if required and still have 2.5X the margins of average ICE mfgs and there are no other BEVs making a profit at all. You'd expect USA demand to almost pause given the tax benefits beginning Jan but hasn't happened.
    3
  3035. Tesla provided amazing degree of detail on long and short term expectations, NO ONE else does anything like that ever.
    3
  3036. Doesn't matter if you have well founded conviction in what you own. Whatever gains are missed now will be made up later.
    3
  3037. BOTH of these guys could skip 2 meals a day and be better for it.
    3
  3038. She's CUTE! (sorry someone had to say it)
    3
  3039. HA! I'm one of them but it has nothing to do with pandemic.
    3
  3040. Yeah? Name them along with price, key metrics and availability.
    3
  3041. He's not even with us, has no idea what happened 5 minutes ago.
    3
  3042. Strictly speaking--you GAINED 8k you didn't profit 8k unless you sold it.
    3
  3043. OR they lack monetary discipline.
    3
  3044. So you shorted TSLA at $300? Good job!
    3
  3045. They didn't GET screwed they were incredibly childishly reckless and screwed themselves.
    3
  3046. Doesn't matter to me as I never sold into it in the 1st place, just too hard to get back in right. Timing generally a losers game. Stopped trading in 2018 and done much better since.
    3
  3047. Tesla will increase by around 100% this yr, Q1 was up 109% over Q1 2020. 1 to 1.1M deliveries for 2021.
    3
  3048.  @ojile13  I backed up the truck first wk. of June for the 1st time, shorts lost some $2.5B this yr. and I got my share. :D
    3
  3049. He's also had some amazing good things to say about owning TSLA in recent months and currently a $900 target.
    3
  3050. My strategy it take 20% off the table at 20X--half way there. 😉
    3
  3051. Not even Apple has grown near as fast, Tesla is breaking new ground in growth rate with no end in sight.
    3
  3052. PE is entirely irrelevant for a fast growing Co. Many quality tech stocks have PE infinity.
    3
  3053. "Tanked" is just clickbait when it has many days up that much in last month. No surprise it can fall some from here.
    3
  3054. As much stress as he endures it's nice to see him let loose and have fun trolling the mentally frail. Gives me comfort that he's keeping his sanity in an insane world.
    3
  3055. Elon didn't decide to sell recently it was scheduled in September and it was expected for a yr.
    3
  3056. Of course and I'm here for the giggles.
    3
  3057. GEE! Why didn't we think of THAT!! What else do we need, why even get up in the morning or have a government at all?
    3
  3058. TSLA "stalling" is irrelevant to investors it only matters to gamblers, whatever gains have not happened already WILL HAPPEN later, no telling when but as long as it stays this low it will be winding up for the next leg up. It went sideways for nearly 6 yrs prior to late 2019 when the wound spring finally released. IF you believe in the company's future with real conviction just ride it. Others in the space have been given a premium due to Tesla's success as tho anyone can do it, MOST of them, startups and legacies will FAIL to survive the decade.
    3
  3059. Because Cramer has followed this topic closely since early this yr. and probably knows more than most doctors about it. What the hell do titles have to do with anything?
    3
  3060. It's not even a bet against Tesla, it's a low risk TRADE that may have been closed already.
    3
  3061. Burry didn't even bet against Tesla here, it's a trivial low risk trade.
    3
  3062. Actually THAT's what it's doing and the two are not separable anyway.
    3
  3063. SOooo... the massive transfer of wealth from "smart money" to us retail dummies continues via the shorties....thanx y'all! Made me a modest fortune already but I'm greedy. HA!
    3
  3064. GOOD GRIEF John--those rings are grotesque. (pardon the irrelevant triviality but....)
    3
  3065. Why are you here? Don't you have something productive to do? If you bothered to inform yourself beyond comedy you'd know that there is vastly more to the Cramer story than his worst week. How about we define your entire life based on your worst moment, would you look good?
    3
  3066. I recall talking about this insanity in the mid '90's, so predictable and avoidable but somehow doctors bought into it too.
    3
  3067. Ford is drowning in debt and increasing it rapidly, the ONLY thing it has going is F-150 and the ICE version is soon to be finished while the Lightening is losing money hand over fist and can't be produced in significant volume foreseeably. Tesla is minting money and growing at unprecedented rate while legacies are rapidly shrinking. TSLA is grossly undervalued right now.
    3
  3068. Guy--$150B is easily covered by earnings over the time period referenced, there will be no secondary offerings but eventually buybacks instead. Good GRIEF.
    3
  3069. Admire Ark but I won't be involved in ARKX.
    3
  3070. You are not obligated to patronize any outlet. Crime causes poverty, you earned it.
    3
  3071. NO. He's buddies with all these guys and it's his roll to play devils advocate and keep things entertaining and provocative. Don't be a snowflake.
    3
  3072. RELAX. They are all buddies and it's his job to play devils advocate, be provocative and entertaining, he pushes back on everyone ALL THE TIME and does a good job of it.
    3
  3073. Been doing that for 15 yrs, consistent calories are most crucial tho, that means things like sweet potatoes. (pardon taking a joke seriously)
    3
  3074. Competition is irrelivant as far as the eye can see and they'll have a run rate of about 2M by yr end.
    3
  3075. Burn more coal to green the Earth and make my organic gardens flourish.
    3
  3076. While you miss out on more spectacular gains just as you have in recent months?
    3
  3077. More coal means more CO2 which makes my organic garden flourish....burn baby burn it! CO2 makes the world GREEN.
    3
  3078. Anyone who makes any such prediction with certainty is to be disregarded as certified moron.
    3
  3079. 'Smoking pot' was always an asinine sideshow with zero meaningful substance.
    3
  3080. Unless that "consensus" is a contrarian indicator and the market is looking 6 months to a yr. forward, as it's supposed to do.
    3
  3081. IDK but this is what we should expect from identity selection criteria...mindless quotas, etc.
    3
  3082.  @seans2876  What numbers she articulated are you talking about? Why don't you look and see where she was in the past, it's the reason she's treated with extra respect by the panel here.
    3
  3083.  @seans2876  What was she LYING about? Sounds like you got nothing but childish emotional reactions.
    3
  3084. They might get lucky and become a minor niche player, 2025 is laughably late, I don't think they'll get far with a car. They'll make it so you have to go to Apple Service to fix a freaking flat tire. ;-)
    3
  3085.  @ProjektUnity  Already 'brought me' the liberty to consider earlier retirement. ;-)
    3
  3086. Nope. They just don't get it which is a GOOD thing for TSLA going forward. (they are right about most of the others in this space tho)
    3
  3087. Sure...THAT's why they lost, hahahaha.
    3
  3088. This clip is from an hour long interview some 6 months ago when there weren't many 3's around.
    3
  3089. Global batt storage market is massive, way beyond current production, companies like CATL and Tesla are making good money in this market and growing production incredibly fast, in the neighborhood on 100% yr over yr.
    3
  3090. Regardless--pointless power projecting mall cop was disgusting.
    3
  3091.  @srock7967  Could be partly that but it could be no more than promoting said publication. Negative or scary headlines get attention.
    3
  3092. Obviously God's not happy with these goddamned barbaric religions.
    3
  3093. A family that completely failed to instill self control or accountability into dead punk and his sis. I don't suffer for them.
    3
  3094.  @jamescoleakaericunderwood2503  Very few have other than barns and such, and most that do build on naturally or artificially elevated spots. Probably only a handful of homes in the entire state had water on the floor.
    3
  3095.  @gregorius3339  HUGE help, there's always some problems in the flood plains and a few poorly designed neighborhoods which is all popular propaganda has any interest in. We can't thrive in perpetual drought and this will go long way to ending several yrs of dry.
    3
  3096. Situation normal, droughts are not new.
    3
  3097. IDK but not hearing from my fearless "leader" Kim Jong Newsom is a reprieve.
    3
  3098. Situation normal, this is nothing. Modest temps and minimal fires for this time of yr.
    3
  3099. The number that the virus kills will be trivial compared to the 100's of millions who die of starvation from media manipulation/fear and inept government panic attacks.
    3
  3100. Yeah she looked better 1st time around.
    3
  3101. Not from my perspective in far N. Commifornia, not shocked but news to me. (Y do I avoid SoCal?)
    3
  3102. Trump had nothing to do with it, thank Elon Musk who is a thousand X more intelligent and a million X more productive .
    3
  3103. No telling how many lives were spared by it's performance in and out of hot zones relative to a chopper, which BTW, crash all the time.
    3
  3104. Scrap all military aircraft, none of them are "safe" compared to your keyboard. Get some perspective.
    3
  3105. What more do you propose? Nuclear war?
    3
  3106. This is a reckless driver story, has nothing to do with Tesla *so far*, we don't know if AP was active or if the driver was drunk and fled.
    3
  3107. It's a reckless driver story as far as we know, not about Tesla at all.
    3
  3108.  @andygreat423  Sort of appears to be a ladder right there on cell tower.
    3
  3109. I don't buy it but looking at things in all sorts wild new ways may eventually get to the truth.
    3
  3110. Shadow banning.
    3
  3111. It even works to a degree when you know it's propaganda.
    3
  3112.  @kelperdude  He's been a media icon since early 1990's, surely som 70 somethings plus still gravitate to him.
    3
  3113. They did their part to cover it up initially.
    3
  3114.  @MB-yh1ch  An intense sense of JUSTICE and principles that has characterized his entire life. That and courage is all it takes, unfortunately not common enough.
    3
  3115. Freak'n big baby. Did he think that would be pain free?
    3
  3116. Yes this is the result of denying Apollo, Zeus, Thor and the American Indian Great Spirit.
    3
  3117.  @andrewordog4397  Diversity of culture can be a strength, as long as they agree to The Constitution, no room for diversity of Meritocracy.
    3
  3118. Twits deal not over yet, he may get it at a much reduced, more honest price.
    3
  3119. Garbage in garbage out.
    3
  3120. Asking her/him? about sociology is even worse. 😄
    3
  3121. NO. That's not the intention, it's about FREE EXPRESSION not a different brand of propaganda.
    3
  3122.  @dorianshadesofgray  Someone had to say it, thanks. (wish my folks were as focused on martial arts as swimming and piano lessons for us kids)
    3
  3123. Yeah but Justin Turdeau will be more comfortable with them then I. PLEASE go North fools. :D
    3
  3124. Hang tight, he's only had a few days and it's complicated to get right. Old policies are still largely in effect with a few sections put on pause and probably soon to be deleted.
    3
  3125.  @annelienoberholzer4242  Yes--bow to Zeus, Thor, Apollo and The Native American Great Spirit. (plus 2000 other gods just to cover our bases)
    3
  3126.  @cs7th  You misspelled TURDeau.
    3
  3127.  @JackRichardsonM8  A little, to get their take, not my best sources of reality.
    3
  3128. A fundamental human right, NOT granted by government but to be protected by any valid government.

  3129. Live by the rocket die by the rocket. (not to be callous about innocents on either side)
    3
  3130. Meanwhile this WH occupier brags about no drilling.

  3131.  @okultusrexus3660  That's it? Topped out in 10th grade and beat out the rest that couldn't even do basic algebra?
    3
  3132. Biden can't carry a thought for 10 seconds. Best Biden performance in a decade, must have practiced all day.
    3
  3133. Dancing in the rubble a bit problematic, ppl trip and fall down.
    3
  3134.  @oldbloke204  Get educated on this topic, if you care, won't happen from Establishment "news" or so called public education, aka., mindless indoctrination camps.
    3
  3135. So far God has only provided the most horrific grief and pain, as per usual.
    3
  3136. What law has he broken?
    3
  3137. Javier is far better than Mr. T., he's the wrecking ball we so badly need in Washington DC.
    3
  3138.  @DOWNUNDER.  I'm not young and don't get it, but grew up without TV...sooo. 😉
    3
  3139. Most actually voted against Mr. T. which happened to be "for" Biden, a small but important nuance.
    3
  3140.  @PatFlash2  Indeed. As NorCali lifer I'd expect over half the state population to be relieved if certain individual was deleted. (at least privately) Prop aganda works. T D S is real. EDS too since X.
    3
  3141. Monitoring the words of his new employees is NOT contradictory to free speech, if they demonstrate non-compliance with his direction for the Bird they are a liability and may indeed fire themselves. They are free to do just that. Free expression doesn't imply free of consequence.
    3
  3142.  @anarchorepublican5954  HA! That'd be too alive, prefer to remember him comatose.
    3
  3143. Yeah he made his entire presidency about vilifying half the nation, making enemies of us. FJB.
    3
  3144. I don't get this notion that Elon is so hard to fathom. I've tuned in for some 15 yrs, endless talks and interviews, I have zero problem understanding with exception of technical details of rocket engines or AI say. That's going to be the case for anyone with deep expertise in any tech that U are not intimately familiar with.
    3
  3145. All time record engagement. He'll save it and make it great for the 1st time including many new features, video to compete with YouTube, payments, 'everything app'. Also reducing the dependence on advertising revenue, a corrupting influence.
    3
  3146. Yet here you are "using it" indirectly, and that's the point, everyone everywhere quotes Twitter. And some of us rely on it for discussions and following Elon and Tesla, etc.
    3
  3147. Imagine being terrified of maximum inclusion when they are accustomed to excluding anything thought that slightly questions their dogma.
    3
  3148. Who are Harry and Megan and why should I care?
    3
  3149.  @blackrazer22  We didn't see anything that bad here in Commifornia that I'm aware of, but bad enough to scare the hell out of ME.
    3
  3150.  @Revelation18-4  Controlled by who and HOW?
    3
  3151.  @RogueElementMkII  All platitudes zero specifics. I KNOW what the popular propaganda feelings are, get to the point please. So far you got nothing.
    3
  3152.  @wahoo8238  Yeah that was a bit of British humor--channel Jeremy Clarkson.
    3
  3153.  @petercann5252  Why not go back to Roman times? There's not a person on Earth who doesn't have some sort of historic legacy grievance if you go back far enough. Let's give everyone a billion bucks and call it good?? Your entire premises is asinine. THAT's what she pointed out and even Lemmon was smart enough to tacitly admit it.
    3
  3154. Has nothing to do with the devices but the explosives planted inside them.

  3155. Sometimes called Regressives in America, not all of them but the willfully blinded.

  3156.  @marcussmith1885  Can U do calculus, nonlinear partial deferential equations, physics, chemistry, can you fabricate useful things on a lathe, mill, weld....? Have U ever engineered anything?
    3
  3157.  @marcussmith1885  What's your "education"?
    3
  3158. Elon has never been pointlessly mean, telling the truth hurts sometimes and that's how it should be.
    3
  3159. They clapped because she was DONE talking, give'em some cred.
    3
  3160. DEI likely partially to blame.
    3
  3161.  @matvangogh  He sort of started undermining Gruesome, he should refer to him as Mayor of Sacramento. :D
    3
  3162. Economics will drive the rapid switch to EVs, NO NEED for government meddling. You are living in a previous decade, on a cheap home charger it's overnight, on a supercharger it's about 35 minutes for an additional 250 miles, that will be 15 minutes in a few yrs. How about 125MPGe? Sound good at these petrol prices? While gas costs $80 charging costs $10 (obviously highly variable depending where you live). Government will take credit for what they had nothing GOOD to do with.

  3163.  @JackRichardsonM8  Anything other then Meritocracy is immoral and a disaster in the making.

  3167. Does she? What part of the spectrum does CO2 block and how does an additional thermal mirror effect things? How does an ice age end when albedo is max and CO2 is minimum?
    3
  3168. Coloring book for toddlers.
    3
  3169.  @Tentin.Quarantino  Look at some recent recalls, a few ICE cars have done exactly that. A quality BEV like Tesla is very low risk, only severe crashes or bottom impact far beyond what's required to puncture a gas tank occurs. (they have impact belly pans) With precious few exceptions, every one of which is international NEWS. I carry fire extinguishers in my ICE vehicles, lol.

  3172. Censorious NeoMarxists tyrants are the most dangerous of our time, that's Harris and Co.
    3
  3173.  @coleengoodell7523  Plenty of examples of severe burns but I've never heard of a phone battery blowing off limbs. Word is they injected or installed small quantities of thermally active explosive and the batt caused to get hot to detonate.
    3
  3174. TranceElevation Look at passenger air miles traveled safety record for ANY modern airliner, your comment is ignorant and childish in that context. There IS NO separation between safety and profitably when it comes to airliners.

    3
  3179.  @josephfdent  She had many chances just like anyone, this was not her first similar mistake she just wasn't responsible enough to self correct. Very rare that we don't get a few close calls first and she was (reportedly) known to do this to lessor degree a number of times. Main think is she didn't 'get another chance' to kill a family of 4 or whatever.
    3
  3180. Best safest cars on the road but nothing is idiot proof. (best at least in many aspects, personal choice, it's not the most cushy lux option obviously)
    3

  3182. huajie666 liu Have you ever attempted to estimate the cost of NOT judging? Say this moocher was your friend and needed a place to stay and naturally you help him out and wind up 6 months later with a few grand worth of HIS expenses against your bank account and maybe steep attorney fees to get him removed...all of that could have been avoided had you simply "judged him" to be a irresponsible free loader. Hmmm?

  3192. Kevin Bednarz Gear ratios are part of it but have been optimized a century ago, the entire machine must be carefully matched. Nothing can diminish the extra energy needed to accelerate, NO condescension intended-- it's simple--Everything else equal; add 20% weight (closer to your example) and increase acceleration fuel consumption by 20% (only one piece of the energy required to move a car), once up to speed weight doesn't cost a lot of fuel but some. At speed: aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance (tires against the road), and inherent drive train..engine, trans, and differential(s) efficiencies/inefficiencies become dominant. . In stop and go city driving a big SUV say, any heavy vehicle, will be automatically irrevocably penalized on MPG for repeat acceleration of extra wt., but aerodynamics don't count for much then. Make sense? :-) At sustained 80 mph say, punching a hole in the air is likely where most of power/fuel is going, not weight so much, wt. only increases rolling resistance and a few minor effects by itself at constant speed. Air drag goes up by about the speed squared, so going 80 mph costs 4X fuel (the drag component of consumption) as going 40 in any given vehicle....pardon the tangent. ((I don't call self a Mechanical Engineer, I have the degree but not the job title and I don't believe one should rely on labels, paper merits, etc., but the above is intuitive level basic physics, engineers only work within the laws of nature))

  3208. Another way to say it--the fiber's "bending tolerance" to thickness ration would be the same across all scales, microscopic to an inch diameter or whatever. A 1" thick rod would have no problem following the circumference of the Earth, doing a loop. (it could make a loop around a modest size town at 1" diameter, without breaking) It's the same thing for a wire rope or cable, each wire does a small amount of bending relative to it's thinness, to follow a sheave (cable wheel) say, a degree of bending to thickness ratio of the entire cable way beyond permanent distortion and damage (yielding) if it were a solid rod.
    3
  3209. Simply by being very thin. The amount of stretching and compressing is a function of the distance to center of the "rod". A thin fiber acquires tiny stresses (change in shape at material level) to bend a lot on our scale. Under a microscope that fiber would not do a 90deg corner on a scale that's significant to the thickness of the fiber, without breaking.

  3216.  @sun2020able  Many structures were never insurable. Today insurance is often simply not available for obvious reasons. Paradise is next door to me and largely deserted for the long term it appears, ppl dispersed. (be interesting to see what the vacant lot values are now, maybe not much) If your going to build in these places it needs to be vastly more fire resistant--steel roofs, fire proof siding, window shutters, spark arresting vents, on an on, unavoidably cost a lot more. I'm going to build fire resistant even in a much less hazardous zone. This is a key reason I chose not to live in similar nearby places as enticing as they are. We'd talked for decades how much a tinderbox Paradise was.

Car fatalities are so common they are rarely news worthy, some of the rural roads within 10 miles or so of me have multiple memorial monuments just from recent yrs and certainly not all fatalities are memorialized as such.
    3
  3319.  @jiyushugi1085  Excellent pilot will always decline the flight when certain boundaries are crossed, no matter the pressure, it's their ultimate responsibility. (not to be dismissive of passenger responsibility as well)

  3320.  @unixlonix  Don't leave the basement without body armor, bio-fire-radiation suit, moto helmet fastened tight, first aid kit, guns....

  3321.  @SJ-oi7tk  How they did it is everything, that's why. Big diff between requiring $6M in common hardware as claimed, and $5B in specialized Nvidia chips 'banned from China', as alleged.
    3
  3322.  @nicov1837  In any case the pilots are there for a reason, sometimes they actually need to FLY the plane, knowing what they know now they are all adept at switching off or they are completely unsuited for the job. That doesn't mean BA CEO shouldn't be canned or that Boeing didn't screw up, they sure did. The fix is relatively minuscule and the MAX is significantly more fuel efficient meaning reduced carbon footprint and lower ticket prices over time. It will all but certainly be one of the safest airliners ever by the time it's allow in the skies again. Where was this Bozo Nader 2 yr.s ago when he might have actually had some positive effect? He doesn't have anything useful to add at this point and doesn't even bother to learn the basics of how an aircraft works before he pretends to be an expert.
    3
  3323. You realize that Nader will indirectly kill thousands if he get's his way?
    3
  3324.  @hannesp3493  Statistics are CRUCIAL! How can you not understand this? When fewer folks fly MORE DIE, it's not hard to verify or comprehend. Dangerous compared to what ? Certainly not compared to a one mile trip in your car at 20mph vs a flight across the nation. Nader doesn't have an 8 yr. old's grasp on flight or aircraft, no idea what he's talking about.
    3
  3325.  @bennybouken  You do realize that the same aircraft were flying all over the world without incident? In the last decade there was only one fatality in the entire USA on airliners. Compare that to about 380,000 slaughtered on the roads and 3X more maimed or severely injured.
    3
  3326.  @emmabaker4925  Yeah it's next door to me, nothing about it was deliberate except lax preparedness, we'd talked for decades how Paradise was a tinderbox waiting for disaster.

  3332.  @willisswenson3843  Honestly don't know how you'd exist there without it, I'd guess most of the meat and higher value food stuff isn't legally produced and peddled. Typically blk markets are sort of tolerated in Authoritarian regimes.
    3
  3333.  @willisswenson3843  Free speech and and free enterprise are what you should be focused on first and foremost, those are what's missing here (Cuba) and right to freedom of thought, expression and to profit from your own efforts are the first to go. As we have seen in much of the West in recent yrs, rampant censorship in the USA, even outlawing blasphemy in some Euro nations--that's the path to tolerating the Taliban.

  3336. When they lie in opening statement?? The gauge that read 101F was not in sea water but a shallow lagoon, may as well put a soup bowl with sea water on the beach in mid day summer sun and call that "sea temperature". Worse then useless--unsubbed.

  3337. "Huge landslide" meaning tiny landslide.

  3338.  @PN_48  You really think the tower is listening to every bit of irrelevant cockpit chatter from every aircraft in the region? That would render radio utterly useless, a din on nonsense. Now back to your fantasy gameboy world.

  3348. GenXRanter Better update yourself, in recent yr.s we have multiplied oil reserves by an order of magnitude, the problem with fossil fuels is we have too much of them. "Radiation from melting nuclear reactors" WTF? That's hardly a given as with everything else you say with certainty as though you are so smart.

  3359.  @seangleason260  I've never identified with either party (lean Libertarian) but the government/institutional response to protests contributed to my becoming hardcore antiLeftist. Was a time for a long time that R's were biggest threat to free speech and liberties in general, Patriot Act was bipartisan but more R and is partially responsible for political prisoners in USA today.

  3364. Unfortunately also many effective forces going on w us friends to your South. However our human rights guarantees seem to be more fundamentally ingrained here in The States. 1st Amendment for damn good reason. Without that we're completely screwed.
    3
  3365. Even JP doesn't seem to get the fact that Elon bought the dumpster fire bc he truly believes the 1st Amendment is crucial for continued existence of the USA, it's NOT about business 1st but must be self sufficient, aka. profitable and 2nd he wants to created something great out of it.

  3372.  @TTFN55  ICE cars burn some 10 to 30X more often overall, hybrids are the worst. And EVs do not explode, only ICE do that, but they are hard to extinguish.

  3389. ​ @Tooradj  Helicopters can "glide" (autorotate) very well from normal flight, either will kill you from a hover. If this VTOL lost all power it should be capable of reasonable glide IF props feather, from normal flight condition, aka, not hanging on the props.

  3390. It's good to have wide ranging options tho this is for a small minority with the coin, and I suspect--older folks rig like Caddy has been for decades. I like SOME physical buttons, steer column stalks and a full steering wheel , lol. Lack of buttons is mitigated with a user specified control bar at bottom...one step for personal priorities.

  3396.  @ThisIsF-dUp  Don't be simple. Is THAT all you have for them? Do they have an exceptional culture of engineering prowess and execution? (of course not, conmen don't attract such ppl) Without that they don't have a prayer. Is the biz model remotely viable?....NO, quite the contrary. If you are in the name you frankly deserve to lose it all, I don't wish it I much prefer to see folks succeed, but this is a case study in stupidity.

  3398.  @davis.fourohfour  Get a golf cart it will be perfect for you.
    3
  3399. 3 wheels is crap for several reasons, that's why you never see many or for long. They come and go throughout out history always to fade away as inferior. (India is one exception but I bet they are legally favored there) Same with ATVs back in the 1970's/''80's, old golf carts, etc. Only reason for them is cheaper to build typically and in some places they skirt more stringent "car" regulations on the road and pass as a "motorbike".

  3410. These folks should tune into Elon's TWITTER it was obvious for weeks that this was likely.
    3
  3411.  @laylalovely3076  It may be necessary to save billions from insane spending in 1574 page bill that only Vivek has read. Including more funding for the censor machine, the money is trivial part, it's the damage inflicted from such spending working against American.

  3412.  @edwardlucke634  Not if it derails the insane spending in the 1574 page ransom bill.

  3426.  @trismaccarran9950  I'm not the first to notice that it's the Authoritarians, activists and extremists who are making the biggest impact for their numbers. Many of the rest of us just want to be left alone but we can't afford to be apolitical any more, if we ever could. "Freedom ain't free" means constant effort and personal expense, it's not historically the normal state of humanity.

  3427. No offense but it's old adage.

  3428.  @lauranolastnamegiven3385  My desire to have calm rational discussions w anyone worthy of the effort. Add humor too. SO many things to say about current Banana Republic condition. Emotions are enemy of progress, don't care about 'told you sos', only moving forward BETTER. I was wrong about plenty of things politics over the yrs, we are all wrong all the time, in some ways, goal is to personally be less wrong first. I get it if you were ostracized in certain circles, sometimes unforgivable bc fam, friends, associates showed colors impossible to respect or trust. Cancel them if they can't redeem themselves.
    3
  3429. What I keep hearing is they got nothing. Nothing on DOGE, Elon, Mr.T.....but plenty of reason to fear the revelations coming out.
    3
  3430. Covid is no joke but I too was shocked, outraged how easily my countrymen folded to authoritarian rule.

  3431. I never dismissed the danger of virus but was far more afraid of our reaction and shocked by what a bunch of sheep we all proved to be.

  3432.  @xstugee  How exactly did he succeed? I already mentioned several massive fails he made, NO EXCUSES for those.
    3
  3433.  @djSmokeShow  Also that we apparently have more 'checks and balances', prez is not and should not be king. I too fear what you've said but I'll support him anyway naturally. Would really be behind, say Rand Paul.
    3
  3434.  @vip867_8  Yup. Either way he failed. Give him credit for slashing some regulations and a few other things but we need a major overhaul, no one said it would be easy.

    3
  3450.  @mr.raslyon6626  We aren't disarmed here in Commifornia (despite what you may have heard) yet censorship is rife here and across the USA today, there's a reason its the 1A, most crucial property of a free society. Yet completely subverted by The Establishment in recent yrs.
    3
  3451.  @vikinglife6316  So much for cute sayings but that's already been covered here. I'd add "good intentions plus ineptitude".
    3
  3452.  @vikinglife6316  He has mentioned that risk but notes that most often it's not good intentions the cause of bad results.
    3
  3453. Quite the contrary, he takes it very seriously.
    3
  3454. Distance from public schools a key to being capable of thinking at all.
    3
  3455. He is capable of being 'proper' and diplomatic, toned down. (he deals with China after all) As a fanboy I don't want him associated with this disgusting administration unless he could somehow have some positive influence which seems remote.
    3
  3456. Do it, it's least we can ALL do as a vote of support.
    3
  3457. A few percent were caring the 90% on their shoulders. Tesla autonomous driving software team is only 150 engineers, Elon claims they accomplish more than similar teams of 3000.

  3466. It's called being a lean dynamic efficient operation and happens every couple yrs. Every time it's Armageddon for Tesla all over again.

  3472.  @winesap2  Have you bothered to actually study the DATA? Where do you get your info? Given your childish emotional frailty I'm fairly certain you have NO IDEA what the actual science indicates.

  3473.  @AB-fi5jt  Yes but it's a farce, fake democracy. When Putin get's "95% of the vote" you know it's not really democratic.

  3474. It hardly matters what ignited it, a combustible landscape WILL BURN sooner or later, later is worse due to fuel load building, with or without humans. It's part of the system, not optional, many tree species cannot exist without fire and lightening wasn't just invented.

  3476.  @macioluko9484  Depends how you use it. For me serious gen-set replacement will be the big deal if it has 3-phase 240 included.

  3484. Over 2M preorders (call it 1M conservatively if 50% don't go thru with order) and many more orders coming as ppl learn about how superior and advanced it is. Will always be "very difficult to make"? Based on what?
    3
  3485. The new bus looks good but don't forget we live in an atmosphere, boxy shapes push a lot of air, inefficient and the original bus was terrifying to think of a front end collision with your toes right behind the bumper. It's going to have to be only superficial resemblance to the past. Welcome all EVs.
    3
  3486. Really? That simple? How much have you made in the markets this yr.?
    3
  3487. Maybe, or he agrees with you? It's a decent bull case but there are also good bear cases to be made. Only time will tell, TSLA could crater too. If you really have so much conviction you should put everything you got into the stock.
    3
  3488. Repurchasing shares doesn't make earnings "look" better, it automatically makes EPS better. It's often criticized as not the best use of capital but it's not generally a negative either. Reducing shares outstanding, by itself, increases the value of remaining shares.
    3
  3489. What's the real cost tho? Is your ticket heavily subsidized? No doubt Euro passenger rail is vastly ahead of US, freight maybe not.

  3494. What's "not always the case"? The risk of equity getting wiped out is based on the management and prospects of a given company, always complex. It's about as useful as "buy low and sell high" to point out it can go to zero...if you don't have that much understanding then you have no biz in markets except for maybe low cost index funds. I agree that the cult is keeping a floor on TSLA price, that's both reassuring and concerning for me. I need more than that. I love the "Musk Mission" but I need to have confidence in a decent risk/reward scenario which is ALWAYS hard but especially with Tesla.
    3
  3495. blableka They all knew the risks or should have. Some make a pretty good case for the possibility that TSLA could gain by a factor of ten in as many yr.s, you don't get that sort of upside without high risk. There is always two sides to every "trade". I would say that many don't want to hear this sort of criticism which is stupid from an investment stand point...one should always challenge their premises.

  3500.  @Nonamelol.  Dunno about those numbers but point taken, I'll take your word for it tentatively. Plenty of room for improvement including procurement procedures designed to incur endless cost overruns. We pay some 10X more for a fighter plane than China and Russia I'm told. Possible that is justified as a mere 20% advantage could make all the difference in a fight and there is always far greater cost to get those last few percent. But our system is designed for overspending. Bottom line is we won't be able to afford anything if we allow continued financial irresponsibility out of DC.

    3
  3509. Do you even know what a patent IS or is for?? The motivation for patents is to undermine the incentive to hold trade secrets, to make advancements public domain ANYONE can view them and even copy 'em but a temporary (20 yr.s normally) monopoly is given to the patent holder for commercialization of the concept. After that anyone can legally capitalize on it, mass produce and sell it to everyone. So your assertion is patently absurd on multiple levels. And acquiring a patent says nothing about a design actually working, it's about uniqueness. Lots of garbage is patented.

Metric: 1 cubic centimeter is one centiliter, heat one centiliter of water 1 degree C requires ONE calorie, 0 is freeze point, 100 is boiling, everything is up or down by a factor of 10 with same prefixes across all units.

  3514.  @zebman9228  There is no such thing as unregulated capitalism. It's not for YOU to decide what's a good individual choice for others. It is for us all to protect the environment and that's one thing free markets cannot properly account for, externalities. Is ultra processed food that many live on good? Nope, it kills millions every yr and degrades everyone who consumes it. Why don't you advocate banning burgers, fries, most grain oils, SUGAR, etc. The damage that crap does makes covid trivial. Or do we believe in personal Liberty, one's own risk for their own 'gain' even if the gain isn't widely appreciated? I only recently learned that half the population is fine with an authoritarian dictatorship-- the unscientific unreasonable extremely destructive Covid response which clearly did vastly more damage than the disease. Scary and disgusting realization I live around those who rather be told how to live their own lives than take self responsibility.

So does fossil fuel extraction which batteries are replacing and unlike fossils, all the elements in batts will be endlessly recycled. Lithium is very common. Your proposed "solutions" are not likely available this decade if ever. Do you want to hold back a highly desirable revolution in transportation tech indefinitely for some nebulous future tech?? That's just ignorant or stupid. "Researched alternatives" typically go nowhere and otherwise take decades to reach economic viability. It took Li batts 1/3 century to be affordable at vehicle level.

Yes it's tough to predict the future but those who get it a little right can sure prosper from it. 50% growth rate is indeed likely for Tesla this decade, the reasons are far too involved for this discussion and that is why it's so difficult to get one's head around and THAT is why it's been and continues to BE a massive opportunity. It's never been nor will be easy. Be very careful about projecting your own limitations on to others, in this case the limits of your understanding of the specifics.

  3567.  @lVideoWatcherl  I'm not vilifying anything but government waste, there is zero cost discipline by nature there. YES some basic research only get's done that way and can be very worthwhile. That's fine, ALL of it must be critiqued ALL THE TIME. These things take on a life of their own regardless of the costs or justification. We turn corn into ethanol in the USA which yields as much energy in alcohol as the fuels and fertilizers required to grow it. Shameful fiasco but no end in sight, entire industries built around it see to that. I'm not apposed to fusion research but it's foolish to expect it to be practicle on Earth for centuries, at least the approach used here. Maybe useful on the moons of Saturn some day. Or maybe a cost effective way will be found, hope so, not holding my breath.

  3569. Martin Andreas Kruse It's hard to say what all those "orders" are worth since there is no commitment being made, it's just an expression of interest really. I would expect most of them won't translate to sales but then others will make actual purchases. For most applications there are much more cost effective solutions then the Powerwall, natgas backup generators for example. It's great to see another option on the market and no doubt the price will come down, it needs to be about one third current price to be widely attractive to those who are concerned about costs. (according to those who have run the numbers, but it varies widely depending on your circumstances) And with the Giga factory the price of batteries may well drop significantly and quickly.

  3572.  @jamesheartney9546  Not at all, as a percentage of GDP, which is what matters, those expeditions across the Atlantic were very expensive. Wealth is created or not, Elon CREATED extreme wealth and has every right to spend it as he choses, what's left after massive taxes he pays, just like anyone else. I don't want to dictate that you must only own a bicycle if you want and can afford a car. If tax monies are involved and YOU are contributing to those taxes, THEN you have a say, not otherwise.

We were stuck in "Stagflation" for a long time it seemed. The cure was those excruciating high interest rates and cutting taxes.

    3
  3628. Spent a week there in the '90's, recommend it. Hardly any tourists, beaches, boardwalks and trails in the unique landscape nearly to yourself.
    3
  3629. I've almost never had TV but when I rarely do suffer it I'm amazed how bad it is. Far worse than useless but that also.
    3
  3630. Only 4 hrs from me I know more about SF situation from Peter than anything else. Used to love that city but been avoiding lately.
    3
  3631. Self censorship is effective. Be courageous folks, use free expression or lose it.
    3
  3632. Government mainly reacts to the will of the ppl and they are manipulated by media hype and misguided notions. No excuses for any of it tho.
    3
  3633.  @richardtseng9535  We need a radically new political direction before devastation forces it on us. Canning Newsom is a baby step...had no opinion when he started but I want his lazy ass OUT now.
    3
  3634. Yeah riding a motor bike anywhere should be terrifying...oh wait...that was the Vietnam vid.
    3
  3635.  @SquidzitAce  Often ppl get indoctrinated by Establishment Media Mafia BS, name calling and other nonsense, so they acquire strong opinions without a clue where those beliefs came from. That's why I call them out to justify their opinions, when it comes to Elon not a singe one has ever provided any real reasons for their distaste of him. Some believe blatant lies about him which is understandable, but most can't even name a bad reason let alone a valid one.
    3
  3636.  @arreola891  Specifically how so? He certainly wasn't part of 'the lie' he referred to.
    3
  3637. He's nothing but authentic and enjoys humor more than most.
    3
  3638. It doesn't play well to the WOKE mob that is her base. ALL religions need to fabricate enemies to justify their existence, far Left is no different.
    3
  3639. Interestingly, times were far tougher in any decade other than the 1990's perhaps, 15 yrs of Great Depression and before that universal poverty, two world wars, all the strife, race riots, war against the Vietnam War, weekly eco-terrorism of the 1960's and '70's, 17% inflation in the '80's with high unemployment and worst recession in recent memory...
    3
  3640. Some have been so toxically indoctrinated I suppose, others have fallen into the "rat race" trap which is their own fault. Either way--it's cowardice and counter productive, pun intended.
    3
  3641. Tragic loss of car.
    3
  3642. Hope they didn't chip too many bricks, those get pricey.
    3
  3643. Says Max Stupid.
    3
  3644.  John Arsebuckle  Are you projecting, envious or just a stupid troll, actually the 1st two are the most pathetic. Tell us you are just trolling?
    3
  3645. Nothing wrong with Viking addressing this, but he's talking about petty children here. This is trivial gossip.
    3
  3646. Tesla: "We have this looming massive planetary problem, let's create a lean mean brilliant machine to SOLVE IT!" GM: "What's this company for??"
    3
  3647. Creative destruction, cleansing. Few Corps should last that long anyway.
    3
  3648.  @mrwhips3623  Time to outgrow Thunderf00t, what has he accomplished?? NOTHING. Creating hatred and bullshit doesn't qualify. He's convincing to naïve children and self loathing failures who FAIL BC they externalize, project and envy. PATHETIC
    3
  3649.  @mrspeigle1  Theoretically more than actually. Same with the tulips as they were used as currency, in both cases the value is completely arbitrary. Both can be replaced with any number of other mediums of exchange.
    3
  3650. Also Elon is not know to 'play the market', personal wealth has never been his priority.
    3
  3651. CR seems to simply count reported issues but there's a big diff between the wheels falling off (Toyota) and a door seal or paint defect.
    3
  3652.  @jestercat7723  They have the option of very mild couple thousand miles (not some teenager hot rodding it) or pay $2/3k for delivery and wait a week or two more. Smart money takes the discount and that trivial extra mileage means nothing at 50k plus miles.
    3
  3653. Similar to Elon?? Can't remember that compare before. :D
    3
  3654. Bots building wiring harnesses would be huge
    3
  3655. Time for a revolution. ;-)
    3
  3656. If you like to gamble maybe, smart investors win, gamblers lose.
    3
  3657. I believe the price will be high for couple yrs than lower cost versions gradually available, never be an econobox tho. 250 units per yr seems way low, think Elon was sandbagging a bit but it could take couple yrs to get to 500k plus.
    3
  3658. No. Just adapted. 3 and Y aren't identical either.
    3
  3659. Exactly, it will not look anything like CT. Angular sharp edged flat surfaces are structurally, mass and especially aerodynamically inefficient. CT may be aero for a pickup but the sharp lines definitely do not help, Elon once said as much too.
    3
  3660. JUST the physical clumsiness of of non-Tesla chargers tells the story.
    3
  3661. Just another obsolete hybrid, excessively complicated and still an ICE vehicle but with extra fuel efficiency canceled by cost and inevitable problems.
    3
  3662.  @ronvandereerden4714  YOU can live in a high rise or apartments, I won't. I need my space, a place to grow my own food, thrive in my own beautiful little gardens. Live your own religion don't try to impose it on me. Your metrics of efficiency have arbitrary focus.
    3
  3663. No commitment has been made.
    3
  3664.  @FifthGate  Including billions just last yr. Best hope is they'll be diminished to the point they are no longer considered too big to fail, and we need to contact our representatives to do our bit.
    3
  3665. Yeah but the notion "investors are fleeing" doesn't much match recent reality, flat for last yr.
    3
  3666. Fuzzy memory, hahaha, Creepy Joe doesn't know what planet he's on.
    3
  3667.  @Anonymous------  I wish them success and if miraculously they can build them for say $40k USD? They'd have something, not anything I want but some will. Be surprised if they ever build for less that $100k/copy even cheap and crude as the demo rig seemed to be.
    3
  3668. Perhaps Honda should entirely focus on battery mowers, small boat motors, motorcycles, etc. Even short range E aircraft, they sell small jets already. They could still compete there.
    3
  3669. Kentucky is a bit of culture shock from here in Commifornia. They may slightly delay transition but it's OK, market forces will win anyway.
    3
  3670. Later yes, not in the beginning because demand will be high and they need to have a big enough price difference between old version and new in order to sell old stock. Also innitial production rate will be relatively slow, ramping up for several quarters.
    3
  3671.  @kadmow  I grow everything you mention, do YOU? Yes avocadoes are understory plants when young and tend to prefer afternoon shade until say 5 plus yrs old, I have around 20 avo trees mostly in the ground some in pots. When mature they want a ton of sun but can do reasonably well with half day direct sun. ALL day is far better. Radishes carrots tomatoes want FULL SUN. Have you grown any of this stuff?
    3
  3672.  @kadmow  Some examples: tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons, onions can do OK in 6 hrs of direct sun but do far better in 10 or 12 hrs, corn, wheat, any grain wants max direct sun, same for every fruit and nut you can name other than some tropical/subtropical understory trees. What crops are you thinking of? Brassicas maybe?
    3
  3673.  @kadmow  I grow a ton of different crops as a home gardener here in hot dry baking sun in N. Commifornia and I know more sun is better for MOST things. (also affiliated with local commercial farming, longer days and MORE sun is almost always better) That still leaves a lot of other crops that benefit from less sun, I seek such produce because shade is cheap and not much produces in it. Can't escape the fundamental that photosynthesis requires light, more light equals more production. Couldn't decipher your CO2 bit but more CO2 is absolutely great for ALL plant life on Earth. High value greenhouse crops often use 2000ppm CO2 and would benefit more with 4000 except for diminishing returns, cost of the gas exceeds additional production. Humans and pollinators not effected by such concentrations.
    3
  3674. Yup...best hope for German Auto, been clear for yrs.
    3
  3675.  @waynefergusson9987  Fill your car's tires 3/4 full of water and take it for a drive then get back to me. Do you have any engineering background at all? I do...not that titles mean shit just real world study and experience.
    3
  3676. Fundamentally uneconomic. End of discussion.
    3
  3677. Pumps?? How about the $3M USD in equipment to supply those pumps and then sell it for 5X electric and 2X petrol
    3
  3678. Eventually (decades out) batts will be used up even for stationary use and recycling should provide most of the raw materials needed for new batts.
    3
  3679. 5:46 that one block is 600 cars.
    3
  3680.  @cyclopsvision6370  And if the BEV scenario plays out as it seems--the value of even a pristine ICE vehicle may have near zero value long before it's worn out. Not entirely convinced that will be the case but seems likely this decade. Also not entirely thrilled with that scenario, still love me 'old' BMW M3, visceral analog, 3 pedals, screaming high revving V8, a replacement for the high performance motorcycles of my youth. Just man machine and the road, not near ready to give that up.
    3
  3681. Isn't a large portion of that debt "secured" by is products? The problem with that being that the owners of those vehicles may end up way under water and unwilling to pay them off.
    3
  3682. Undoubtedly and indirectly as well as directly...I was thinking same thing.
    3
  3683. Tesla doesn't have 200k employees GLOBALLY.
    3
  3684. Current versions have far fewer issues than any other American car but NO computers?? That'll never happen from anywhere, that's a literal golf cart. No computers would be far to dangerous for Tesla standards and not even legal.
    3
  3685. Dumb method no matter the situation.
    3
  3686. Swapping a bad idea that will fail.
    3
  3687. Yeah just swap the entire car and save a TON.
    3
  3688. Surely at some point they'll break out the CT, it'll be big numbers. When Tesla is proud of production rate. ;-)
    3
  3689. This has been a running storyline for 5 yrs to a decade now.
    3
  3690. There needs to be anti-monopolistic laws for unions just like there are for industries. Not just over there but here in the USA too, they are all mafias.
    3
  3691. Yeah it was far worse back then, all of this has nothing to do with CO2 however, which is harmless to humans and essential for life on Earth, more is better. It's about most everything else out of tail pipes other than water vapor.
    3
  3692. Ppl panicking out low are lacking a few things, basic market savvy and market discipline, and not DOING the HOMEWORK required for their personal conviction requirements. They were not investing they were gambling.
    3
  3693.  @p0kerp1aya  And all the racial condescension and anti-social justice couched in "diversity" nonsense, etc. It's not only open but demanded. To me social justice is Meritocracy. Leftist have completely left Martin Luther King's ideals of judging a person by character instead of color. Ppl need to be challenged on these things.
    3
  3694. If it falls another 80% I might be slightly interested, but probably not. Investors didn't lose a dime on NKLA, those were reckless naïve gamblers.
    3
  3695. It matters because the corrosive corrupt UAW goes down with you, that's PROGRESS Mary!
    3
  3696. Few here an Cali too, lol. Governments typically back the losing horse, flush resources down the toilet.
    3
  3697. Still need to prove mass production. Hopeful. Deadline looming at yr end, make them cost competitive or cancel program. (reportedly)
    3
  3698. Commies.
    3
  3699. Don't personally recall anyone around me getting body parts caught in closing car window, but common sense safety guard. On surface-- it's an easy OTA update with risk of causing some other deficiency, window stopping to easily in winter weather or old mechanicals....ultimately Tesla will probably adjust for each particular window resistance history, hahaha.
    3
  3700. Wasn't clear to Tesla /Elon that AI would be required to solve autodriving, (just coined new word!) until a couple yrs ago.
    3
  3701.  @vec306  As 62 Commifornia Lifer I might be granted tad more street cred then average. :D Thanks, I assume many understand that take. (((why do I stay?....natural landscape and climate, addicted to High Sierras, redwoods, etc...allergic to flatlands and loath humidity, lol)))
    3
  3702. As 62 Commifornia Lifer--no fan of this sort of pork/activism, $8 of $10 will be pissed against the wall w chargers that don't work or don't work well at best, badly located...typical government fail compared to say, Tesla network. But we've done worse than this, like H2 fuel stations...lol.
    3
  3703. Red SUCKS absolutely agree, it's OK only when perfect condition but then it's too garish anyway. But that 'midnight cherry' is fantastic, still wouldn't own it for practicle reasons and the 'liquid silver' is excellent too and more user friendly.
    3
  3704. WHAT? That's a done deal History. Compare TSLA to Apple, Goog, any legacy auto...over last yr. Recessions and macro matter short term.
    3
  3705. Nothing wrong with apposing policies but still adapting to and taking advantage of them.
    3
  3706. I vote against anything that further punishes the most productive in our state and accelerates their exodus. We are already suffering massively from the Communist mentality. And this one was guaranteed to be much money flushed down the toilet with over priced charging network that doesn't work.
    3
  3707. Same but with increasingly hideous cheesy chrome plastic grills and such so your neighbor knows you have the latest POS.
    3
  3708. I'm holding out for the Electra Bonfire edition.
    3
  3709. Tesla coattails are stupidly long. Sincere best wishes for Rivian and Lucid, we need more upstarts but that doesn't mean I'm betting on them. Whatever one believes about Elon they should know he speaks his mind, right or wrong, often enough right.
    3
  3710.  @mahes303  Those are extremely high electric rates, even here in Commifornia we pay some $0.18/kWh, grid power, it's closer to half that in much of the country.
    3
  3711. GM getting involved confirms it's a bad idea. What are the economics like in Netherlands? (H2 price compared to electric and petrol)
    3
  3712. Seriously? That makes bankruptcy OK? You don't make money by losing it, a write off is essential or you'd be taxing profits that don't exist. Example: A grocery store writes off payroll and price of goods sold, etc., profits are what is left (around several % for a supermarket) after all costs are subtracted. If they, say donate to charity, that entire profit then they themselves are a non-profit, they have NO profits to tax! GOOD GRIEF, this non-thinking mythology is shockingly dumb.
    3
  3713. Tad trivial but S Plaid independent dyno rated it at about 1120hp, not 1020. (typical for Tesla to understate power I believe)
    3
  3714.  @FlorestanTrement  HE need not be present, just turn the legal team loose. Slander like that has real consequences, stupid opinions are one thing but factual claims , statements should also carry consequences.
    3
  3715.  @nox5555  You need to learn what the term slavery means, Good GRIEF what a childish naïve comment.
    3
  3716.  @crazzyoboy  Very old tech that such systems are filled with air not water, air blast out first and water follows.
    3
  3717.  @michaelmay9958  Happy trails, looking forward to customer reports. :D
    3
  3718. Perfectly represents his kind.
    3
  3719. You will trust it when it earns it for you personally, and it will. Good point that it need not be autonomous to be valuable.
    3
  3720. What has Elon said that's inappropriate? I'm highly pleased and amused by his tweets.
    3
  3721. 400 miles will be available and affordable by '25, you will likely change your mind by then too as maintenance, convenience and operating costs will be dramatically lower. (ironically I also don't want an EV and intend to run my 'old' 2011 BMW M3 as long as I can, but it's NOT a vehicle for most for similar reasons that a motorcycle isn't either)
    3
  3722. I seriously doubt it will be remotely convenient to remove and replace, it's meant to be installed at Tesla and left in bed. What does it weigh? 600lbs maybe?
    3
  3723. Depends, driving consumes way more than all the power tools u could run combined.
    3
  3724.  @jefflittle8913  Everyone knows that, but it's more debatable than simply leveling the playing field. Free trade is generally healthy with major exceptions of adversaries. Having 80% of advanced chips made in Taiwan, for example, is asking for trouble. Or Germany relying on Russian gas. And losing our mfg base is not great. However--it obviously makes no sense to grow mangos in Montana or make airliners or autos in Costa Rica, some things are no brainer low friction trade ideals.
    3
  3725. Look at the passion of those GM workers as they shuffle around bored to death and barely conscious!
    3
  3726. That's how, our tax dollars, not called Government Motors for nothing.
    3
  3727. I'd be happy to get one in a few yrs after 4680 advancements in energy density, range improvements and endless other tweaks implemented.
    3
  3728.  @peternystrom921  Open market?? This is the result of old obsolete paradigm and corrupt GOVERNMENT. Not open enough market A dose of socialism in action, not even Texas is immune.
    3
  3729. Ironic as hell. I along with many thought that would have been resolved BEFORE committing to a build like this. TX is supposed to represent free wheeling Capitalism and this flies in the face of that. Bring on the Native American tribes. :D
    3
  3730. Quit projecting. Many have integrity that you lack. Did he say something false or misleading? If so WHAT?
    3
  3731. Curb wt of 10.5 or 11k lbs? And 200kwh batt, just impractical and too expensive.
    3
  3732.  @craigme2583  BEV mfgs and probably even more prudently delaying purchases entirely for a few yrs while BEV market matures and becomes more affordable. (see the 'valley of death' chart?)
    3
  3733. Subsidized electric prices? That's unbelievably cheap....good on you and them.
    3
  3734.  @xraylife  Lol. Luddite. I'd never trust a phone without a button keyboard, NEVER. Never mind a post 1980's airliner.
    3
  3735.  @karlwest437  Indoor smoking bans did not cause more folks to smoke and even if it did it's none of your business or concern. EV mandates are retarding adoption rates via a somewhat justified visceral backlash. So if delaying the transition is your goal, keep advocating force and expect half the population to dig in their heels.
    3
  3736. Government Motors, that's all you need to know, governments rarely make sense.
    3
  3737. Nio will be lucky to exist long enough.
    3
  3738. If U tow the wheelchair behind it will take 3 passengers.
    3
  3739. Often wondered the same thing. They must be damn good at it but it's a concern as an investor. A key reason to keep a footprint in Si Valley despite the toxic political environment.
    3
  3740. Need not happen that soon but will happen. Also the used market will become 'the poor man's choice' in a few yrs with fine options at half original price.
    3
  3741. Tesla is too sensible and practicle to compare to Harley. It's an everyone's car not a silly political statement, that's the past.
    3
  3742.  @PelleGIT  He's regurgitating mindless indoctrination, all the evidence counters his cult.
    3
  3743. WTF is wrong with ppl even making car payments at all? If you can't pay twice in CASH you can't afford it! Simple.
    3
  3744. Spot on about the loser haters, they might envy the results of someone like Elon but they wouldn't last a solitary month of his work ethic.
    3
  3745. Right on target about then vs now Tesla energy has understandably been back burnered in terms of value added to the company.
    3
  3746. Jim Farley reminds me of a typical football coach hyping up the troops and investors reality be (half) damned.
    3
  3747. Over 20% inflation counts.
    3
  3748.  @frankcoffey  Let the market work. No incentives required for BEVs even with $6 trillion USD global annual subsidies for fossil fuels tipping the scales. Beyond that I have NO IDEA what your on about. BEVs won, get over it already
    3
  3749. Tesla is upsetting so much more than a century of drive train types...we will all be measurably more prosperous for it.
    3
  3750. No John McCain fan except in a few cases--he tried hard twice in the '90's to overhaul campaign finance, etc., the root of the problem. Our political system is inherently corrupting.
    3
  3751.  @arthurdiaz9184  Every aware yr of my life, half a century, I've heard such dire predictions. "Economists have predicted 8 of the last 3 recessions." Randos have worse track record. I'm doing well, why not U?
    3
  3752.  @chrismuller2780  You entirely missed the point. Energy comes in many forms but the most common default is heat, that's where suspension systems today dissipate the energy to dampen rebound. THEREFORE; heat generated, in the case of current cars it's in the 'shock absorbers', IS A MEASURE OF ENERGY AVAILABLE. Understand? Obviously you want to avoid turning it into heat you can't use, some will always end up as heat but in this case you want to--say intermittently light an LED strip, lol....and that's about all it could do, realistically.
    3
  3753. REAL men will go bare SS.
    3
  3754. It's starting in Austin TX, then the rest of World.
    3
  3755. Porsche has a 2 spd and it doesn't result in an efficient vehicle. Gear boxes use energy too. Spinning an E-motor faster is nothing like spinning a reciprocating engine faster.
    3
  3756.  @ahaveland  Pressure washing could be even worse, "sealed" bearings are generally pretty good at keeping dust and grime out. They must have sleeves (or similar) that slide past eachother, no absolute seal is possible between two moving parts.
    3
  3757.  @tedmoss  U-joints, bearings and such are not generally water proof, "sealed" is relative. This is why special grease is used in boat trailer bearings, grease more water phobic then other common greases. Best to assume water intrudes into any moving parts submerged and especially submerged while rotating/moving. I wouldn't pay much for a car I knew had driven thru 2 ft of water.
    3
  3758. Unless absolutely necessary it's very dumb thing to do, CT at least has pre-pressurized batt pack option but what about the rest of it? Flooded cars are typically totaled cars.
    3
  3759.  @billcichoke2534  Tesla makes far more per vehicle than Toy does and it's essentially the only one making money at all on BEVs. Toy will either be bailed out, radically downsized or dead by end of decade. They had a great run but failed to change with the times and are drowning in debt with no cohesive consistent path forward.
    3
  3760. Childishly dumb conclusion. Toy investors care about Toyota and they can't make compelling BEVs let alone profitably.
    3
  3761. Seeking Alfalfa should stick to what they know--farming.
    3
  3762. That's not accurate, they don't make a ton but make some on them. Every branch of Tesla must stand on it's own.
    3
  3763. Bout time they fixed that. (T fanboi here)
    3
  3764. Yeah and they lost that fight.
    3
  3765. First red flags were way before that, just the stupidity of "the next Tesla" was enough to stay clear of all the upstarts, other than a quick trade.
    3
  3766. Net energy output above zero says nothing about economically above zero.
    3
  3767. I've seen a rundown recently (forget where) concluding Tesla employees are about doubly compensated vs legacies...that's before stock options I believe, which have made many Tesla workers moderately wealthy of course.
    3
  3768. Markets ALWAYS sort this stuff out in relatively timely fashion, but as implied there are market warping influences--particularly governments which are effected by Establishment forces. H2 is DOA as land transport fuel, been 'obvious' for a decade. Rockets maybe but it's even proved to be a failure there recently.
    3
  3769.  @cerealkilla4eva  Define price gouging? The fact that Teslas are STILL able to sell more 2nd hand than new means the Tesla is not charging enough. Prices will eventually retreat when conditions allow or demand it. It's not for YOU to decide what price others charge or pay for anything, you decide how much to get for your own productivity and how much you will pay for items, that's ALL
    3
  3770. That could be irrelevant if parts/supplies can't get through which seems to be the primary limiting factor here.
    3
  3771. As a child one of dad's colleagues who'd purchased one of the 1st Mazda's on American soil, he ran it out of coolant then admittedly, foolishly refilled it with cold water while still hot, cracked the block, Mazda gave him a new engine anyway as they were bent on establishing a toehold, it worked.
    3
  3772. Trump is leveraging a threat of tariffs, way early to fret over any of this, it's his way of bargaining and generally works well.
    3
  3773.  @EdwardsNH  It's about how much of an entirely new vehicle they are ready to take on. Going steer by wire means 48V which means entirely new supply chains for plethora of parts and major--like new model ramp instead of a quick ramp like Threefresh. Likely X will be canceled before that happens, maybe S as well.
    3
  3774. Nope, nor 48V architecture. Those will wait for completely new designs.
    3
  3775. It's laughably impossible. No such thing as greater than 100% efficiency and todays common panels are around 20% that means, naively--5X improvement possible, but actual considerably less.
    3
  3776. It's the least my beloved Commifornia can do. :D As a farther N. Cali lifer.
    3
  3777. 10X a 20% efficient solar panel?? (or anything) Complete NONSENSE
    3
  3778. German solar potential is similar to Alaska, NOT the first place you want to use solar PV. Texas and California have twice the potential.
    3
  3779. HEY! I be building barn right now. 🙃
    3

  3785.  @icosthop9998  It makes zero sense to have 18 month backlog and allowing new owners to flip car for $5k profit, that's $5k more Tesla should capture not give away. So those price increases were unavoidable, Elon has always indicated he wants them lower, just a matter of time and production ramp up.

  3793.  @brett4264  Closest thing to a miracle in business history is that either Tesla or SpaceX survived 2008. Tesla was on the ropes as recently as 2018/19 when in desperation Elon attempted to get Apple to purchase them. (biggest best mistake Tim Cook could possibly make was to not even take Elon's call) That they have both now "taken over the world" will be talked about for centuries. SpaceX is looking at 90% of GLOBAL launch payload next yr, and while NASA contract saved them in 2008, SpaceX now saves NASA 10X on launch costs....taxpayer money. I believe 500/600ppm CO2 (about where we will top out I suspect) is a much better place to be than preindustrial 280ppm, that's an unpopular position but I have my reasons for it...mainly that recent glacial maximums have dropped atmospheric CO2 to extremely dangerous levels, threatening mass extinction like we've never considered. The next glacial max should be less treacherous. Tho CO2 is not THE driver of climate it is a significant factor in warming.

Still love my 'old' BMWs but don't see how they can make it thru this decade either. Maybe the big three German brands can merge, reorganize, etc., and survive the decade in some diminished capacity.

  3847. Highly skeptical of TX (or any other government plan) for charging stations, they'll be 10X the cost w crap performance, misreble to use and half broken-down at any given time if recent history is any guide.

  3864. This is mostly about mismanaged wild lands and excessively, needlessly flammable structures. It''s ridiculous that "one ember on the roof" might burn it down.
    2
  3865.  @gonefishing3644  "Lush watered" landscaping wasn't the problem for Paradise, that sort of thing doesn't tend to be flammable anyway, but it has been called a 'tinderbox' by locals for decades, a bad fire was essentially inevitable. There were many places mixed with uncleared natural fuel, brush, etc., and structures need to be fire resistant particularly in such settings, most were not.
    2
  3866. Climate is important but it's not the primary factor in this event. It's mainly about excess fuel load allowed to build up for decades. These lands were "meant" to burn frequently with low intensity in a fashion that is healthy for the forests. This would have been almost as bad in a 1910 climate. Also it's not necessary or prudent that most structures 'can burn down from a single ember on the roof'. This was entirely preventable, the ignition source and climate are largely a sideshow. Prior to modern times fire was frequent and benign. The entire system is adapted to fire, we interfered with that crucial component and pay the price. Some native trees can't even drop their seeds until after fire burns under them, large healthy trees come out unscathed if the fire is annual or every several yr.s such that it travels low and slow.

  3870. Bill J Not just the taxes you are talking about but if he follows through on his subsidies for specific inefficient industries (tariffs) the entire global economy will suffer. The first folks in America whom will be out of a job will be the uneducated, unskilled whom formed the core of Trump's base. It was high tariffs that caused the Great Depression to be as long and deep as it was, hopefully someone schools DT about some of these things he is so clueless about. But then one would have to assume he gives a shit about America beyond the personal enrichment that he has already shamelessly begun as prez elect. And NOTHING is going to "bring the jobs back" because those lousy jobs are being done by machines. It has been clear for decades that to succeed in the modern economy one need get an education and/or upgrade their skills. The biggest losers in America ignored such advice and are ignorant enough to blame immigration, economic freedom and minorities for their own damn failure. Meanwhile a high skilled welder, diesel mechanic, etc., with integrity, self motivated, hard working and smart are all but impossible to find....and those are occupations that are NOT about to be robotized but they are out of reach of Trump's sniveling losers....they are just too demanding and difficult for most 'men'.

  3947.  @KWu-fv9nz  As American--I agree with most of that, especially last paragraph. Big respect for Chinese work ethic, something that USA used to be proud of but has diminished in recent decades, still very strong among many but not on average.

  3948. "90% of factories to close" is absurd on it's surface. That'd be 4X worse than USA Great Depression, mass starvation like China was synonymous with into the 1980's.

  3955.  @crocodilegrundee4514  Obviously it wasn't solely on Trump but it was his initiative and he has recently bragged about the $2k more coming on Twitter. I'm only pointing out the laughable hypocrisy of Trumpers banging on about socialists as the devil while completely ignoring inconvenient reality. I was reluctantly rooting for anything to avoid Great Depression 2.0....I'd pay even more for that is a big understatement. I also champion the apparent newbie involvement in stock markets tho I fear many/most will be blown out permanently if they treat it like a casino. The broader the involvement the healthier capitalism and the nation will be...I hope many learn how to INVEST not just gamble. Shutting down is/was a colossal mistake but the pandemic all by itself would have wrecked restaurants, travel, hotels, etc, to a large degree. People were simply going to avoid those businesses by choice. And governments are always at least partially responsible for economic conditions but it's new for DC and it's certainly socialist!

  3958. Chris Becker  A 3 yr. suspension as Chairman and banned from any board of directors, plus $20M fine personally plus $20M from Tesla, without admission of guilt (he clearly is guilty of several serious violations) is reasonable. This will likely rally the stock too as it's obvious he's not the best CEO anyway, he's crucial as the "visionary designer" but not as CEO, even the biggest bulls on the stock tend to think that, and Elon himself has long been open to finding a qualified CEO and they reportedly had been 'shopping' for one in recent years. The board will also be less Rubber Stamp-ish going forward, that's good for Tesla.

Not in at least 30 or 40 yrs. Or nurses for that matter. Maybe we need a system where the university doesn't get paid until after the loans are paid off by the student or as the loans are paid, then they can suffer along with the victim, I mean student, so they'll be a lot more careful about their reckless promotion of endless debt.

  3991. svetarocks  Love Elon and the Musk Mission but NO CEO can get away with saying "Funding Secured" for a supposed going private scenario when it wasn't, that's NOT OK for a CEO of a public company. There exist strict rules for crucial reasons and he apparently violated at least several of them in material ways. The case against him seems solid unfortunately, and mostly based on his own words, it's going to be rough for Elon and Tesla for a while and his days as Chairman or any higher position maybe numbered...but he can remain as the product/visionary that he has always excelled at, he wasn't that good a CEO anyway so Tesla and TSLA may do better long term. Meanwhile I wish I had sold my tiny position in TSLA midday yesterday as I almost did. (darn it!)

I don't know anything about FOX biz 'news', I get my information from a host of other sources but it seemed like a legit area of interest and a benign question. I own some TSLA since just before the quarter but I'm not a Telsa Cult member, love Elon but I need to have my confidence in TSLA refreshed frequently just like any other stock. One may love the Musk mission/Tesla the cars and all the rest but still loath the stock and THIS sounded like he was hiding something material. I don't know her yet I'd like to learn.

  4021. nunyobiznez A couple other examples of Trumps racist impulses: The whole birther bullshit--do you suppose it was coincidence that he only accused Obama and Cruz of being born outside the US and not a white Hillary? Obviously not. And why did he focus on Mexico instead of Canada for his wall and anti NAFTA rants?....trade and trade disputes have been 1.5 times greater between Canada and the US as between Mexico and the US. And why is it OK that his wife was initially in the US illegally but not OK for Mexicans? None of this is to suggest that everyone who supported DT are biggots, far from it. There are some good reasons for decent folks to overlook the fact that he is such a dirty rotten son of a bitch. Out of control regulations that are strangling businesses big and small. Repatriation of trillions of dollars by US corporations, tax reform and more. And YES Hillary was a lousy choice in many ways too. The nation wanted radical change and I guess we got it.
    2
  4022. nunyobiznez And why do you believe that site is anything but disinformation? How do you confirm any of that? I know a few things for certain, mostly based on his own words, history and actions: A) he is an overt racist and religious bigot, B) he is a certified protectionist going back at least until the mid 1980's,(If he implements his rhetoric on that topic the USA will sink into a sever recession if not great depression in addition to becoming weaker as an international power--that's just the way it works, basic economics and geopolitics) C) Mexico may profit by supplying concrete for his wall but the sure as hell won't pay for it, D) the election was "rigged", is that why he won??? E) he is or was a sexual predator otherwise he would have actually sued the dozen women whom publicly accused him of such, he loves to sue folks anyway, doing so some 1500 times already, F) same goes for his bluster to sue news organizations, he would have done so if the NYT, WP, or others had NOT told the truth, G) he has an affinity toward tyrants like Putin and expressed admiration for the Tininmen Square Massacre H) he suggested that one of his followers might assassinate Clinton, what the hell do you think he meant by that bit? Maybe he was suggesting '2nd Amendment people' should consider tossing tomatoes at her?? I) he belittled a Gold Star hero family because they happened to be Muslim, K) he insulted another true war hero, John McCain and Trump himself was a Vietnam draft dodger....I could carry on and on but that's plenty. If any of the major news organizations had EVER presented the slightest negative untruth about him he would have sued them. That's enough to confirm their accuracy..
    2
  4023. Oh? Like what was said negative about Trump that wasn't obviously true? The media has handled the criminal with kid gloves.

  4024.  @rrf6747  I'm betting you'll change your tune on his cars one day for several reasons-- A) you will save 4 to 5X vs an ICE car per mile, B) they are the best value in the space today and foreseeably. C) they are continually improving faster than any other mfg

  4025. As if everyone didn't already know...but yeah.....the depth of it and details must be uncovered. Twits have already been covering their tracks but Elon will expose enough I suspect.
    2
  4026. Nope. Reality is Kevin wrong about EV growth, the numbers say BEV growth continues exponentially. Demand problem is for Legacy auto BEVs, they lose a ton of Guap for every mediocre rig they sell. (some good one's too lk F150 Lightening, but costing F more than they can afFord)

A semi truck might park upstream maybe a little sideways to block a few lanes, to protect casualties downstream but he'd be forfeiting his rig.

  4061. I believe Panspermia is a given for the solar system and possibly microbes are shotgunned across the galaxy in a viable form. If so the stage for bio-genesis could be 1 to 9 orders of magnitude larger than Earth. I fully expect we are going to find basic life on more than one body in our own solar system, Mars, and a few moons of Jupiter and Saturn to the top of the list. We KNOW Earth life can lay dormant for tens of thousands of years at least, some can take amazing doses of radiation and many meteorites, and presumably impact ejecta, do not get cooked enough to sterilize them completely--that to me spells Panspermia. (as a laymen, I hope I spelled it right :D )

"Pinnacle" tends to imply control, stability, false sense of security. Very likely the answer to the Fermi Paradox is US Can our species survive ourselves let alone the civilization that makes our "dominance" possible? (fundamentally an optimist but...) Time in existence ultimately counts for something, we've only been a flash in the pan SO FAR and too many ppl can create and release a virus taking out half the population. (or pick your fear) Covid was a joke compared to what will eventually happen. So is the virus actually dominant then? :D At least briefly? Maybe we become multi planetary before the window closes, maybe not.

We 'all' want to help those who are doing everything for themselves to get it together but they are a small minority in my experience Never been easier to earn 6 figures plus in American then today in the trades, but that's real work and usually substantial skills required, skills that a diligent man can acquire on the job or taking night classes at JC, or whatever. Massive demand for a good worker with high integrity.
    2
  4080.  @kckush5046  Yes of course. And it's THOSE exceptions we want to help most. I wouldn't know about the $ trajectory but sounds valid. We are dealing with it in my modest 120k pop. town in farther N. Cali too. One of my wealthy friends offered a good size patch of land outside downtown but near basic services/airport, for a big homeless camp, better than nothing, but there are always a host of roadblocks to overcome. I think they want to be centrally located to access more crumbs and handouts but they TRASH our waterways, otherwise beautiful parks and pretty much everything else.

  4081. The pendulum swings folks-- it will swing the other way before Seattle is in ruins. When you subsidize something you get more of it, not hard to understand. Coddle the derelicts and they multiply.

  4085. This is NOT "what scientists can learn fro indigenous peoples" but *what propaganda they can superimpose on them. No hard data, nothing but platitudes and references to the weather. Aka...BULLSHIT.

  4086. If this vid didn't cover shale oil it's useless (I only spot checked it). Horizontal drilling and fracking have made 10X more economic oil available, running out will never happen, most of it will be left in the ground as it is becoming obsolete.
    2
  4087. It will never run out bc it's going to be obsolete in 20 yrs and shale oil extraction tech has made 10X more available then there was at the beginning of this century.
    2
  4088.  @Box545x39  These things can be stringently regulated. For example--seafloor nodules could be individually plucked from the surface with minimal disruption to the mud, particularly with AI (artificial intelligence) . A wide platform hovering above the floor with multiple robotic arms snatching the chunks as it progresses along. Thrusters would be well above to eliminate kicking up plumes of sediments. The operation would be continuously monitored in real time to verify minimal disruption, lights an cameras. If all that rigor delays economic implementation, so be it. The fact that those nodules are so uniquely concentrated in valuable minerals will likely eventually make it viable. Comparisons to traditional gold mining is silly, not only is gold of limited, almost no utility, but the ore bodies in question are radically different.
    2
  4089. Why couldn't it be done automatically on a large scale? We have highly efficient methods of selecting viable vs reject produce at speeds your eye can't keep up with, picking rocks off the mud with minimal disturbance seems very doable to me.
    2
  4090.  @dadsonworldwide3238  Different topic but I can't argue with that. Government 'solutions' are generally wrong and private sector responds to it's clientele efficiently.

  4091. Given the similar mass and volume I'd pick something better like Gorilla tape perhaps, much better adhesion and stronger.

  4092.  @troth6251  How about YOU, ever left the country to look around or even your backwater neighborhood?
    2
  4093.  @joewilson2258  NO it's not being replaced but a given well might recharge from surroundings, ultimately wells run lower than profitable and abandon, new tech can get more but in the end it's gone. It took 100's of millions of yr.s to accumulate what we harvest. Dino's and dolphins were not tapping it. You can look at dead algae (microbial life in general) accumulations on the seafloor to estimate how fast it's being generated, bury it deep an cook it for 10's of millions of yr.s and POOF you have more. :D Two of my bros were once underground coal miners, they often came across dino footprints in the shale and found a few dino bone fossils. Old deposits. We are drawing on solar power of the past with fossil fuels, it can't go on forever. But it's all good, options have never been more affordable and oil is easy to duplicate in smaller quantities for rubber tires, plastics, fertilizers, even aircraft maybe, everything except mass energy generation. Worry about peak everything else from metals to fresh water to good soil. AND viable oil has become 10X more abundant since horizontal drilling and fracking tech has surprised us all. Massive oil shales are all over the planet mostly untapped. (pardon ridiculous rant)

  4095. Good friend did something similar with Copenhagen chew spit, he'd routinely use empty beer can for spittoon while drinking from other can, you can guess the rest. He survived. 😄

  4096. Same here even tho I dated and plowed dozens, even had a few GFs from online. I do way better without the humiliation in real life. Had to set sights to new lows online, some fat chicks in the mix, had some DUD DATEs that would have been filtered in face to face meeting.

  4107.  @nancyking9033  Yes I've been tuning into him a fair amount in recent yrs. Not super impressed but sure beats the hell out of my Commifornia Kim Jong Newsom....total Autocrat who is now censoring doctors while claiming TX and FL are burning books and censoring. Loath the SOB.
    2
  4108.  @nancyking9033  Did superb job there and in general I think. Cred to McCain back in the '90's for attempting to reform the inherently corrupting DC system but that's not easy when everyone's getting rich on graft.
    2
  4109.  @nancyking9033  I'll take a good look at ANY outsider. The Machine must be infiltrated. Could be just my own bubble and personal swing to simply hardcore anti-Leftism but I think the tide has shifted, not enough for my Commifornia probably, but the nation.
    2
  4110. He's taken a hell of a lot of vilification from The Establishment media machine, institutional investors and even BS lawsuits over last yr, not fun for anyone on receiving end, must fuel his intense obstinance.

  4121. I plan to stay tho never signed up for the political monopoly. Beyond being entrenched in many ways I can't part with the geographic landscape, high Sierras and deserts to Giant Redwoods to stunning coastline. Big pc of my 'soul' resides in High Sierra. Flatlands depress me even more than Commifornia political landscape, could I NOT escape that calculus would change however.
    2
  4122.  @matthewellison581  He earned it himself right? Couldn't have been easy or we'd all have done it already, hmmm? There's a multitude of "hard" from physical exertion and peril to pure discipline drive and intellectual rigor, courage in the face of public backlash, risking everything you've worked for, on and on. One thing for certain the primary diff between poverty and prosperity is a state of MIND Pity only the 'trust fund babies' who had it TOO damn easy.

  4123. Agreement is utterly trivial, it's about making us THINK while adding some facts, anecdotes and smart opinions.

  4137. Yeah Mars will be 1000 times harder than living off the land on Antarctica...that said--GO FOR IT Dudes!! We will watch from paradise Earth on TV as you struggle and die, we will learn and someday get it right. GO PIONEERS!!!
    2
  4138. Kids. You have no concept how difficult it's going to be but I'm all for it. Be some fine reality TV as the first colony(ies) inevitably struggle and die off. That's how we learn and progress, early explorers always die young. Think of living off the land on Antarctica and multiply it by a 1000X more difficult.

  4141. @Mr. Glass If one follows stock market most of that is well know yesteryears news except the prediction of doubling production from here which comes from an oil CEO who has made bold accurate predictions in the past and knows what he's talking about.

  4142.  @ThekiBoran  You don't know ANYTHING about evolution. Do you get your "education" from the most cynical, evil manipulative force in the history of humanity?--aka., Christian bullshit sites?
    2
  4143. But only humans could save it from massive evolutionary resets from cosmic impacts.

  4147. In both cases that world DOES exist today, you are afraid of the effort and responsibility. True that marriage is likely a bad idea today, but that's a legal technicality.

    2
  4149. We should all be swinging toward Libertarianism then, this is what everyone here is saying. Quit supporting the damned socialists as they are the worst.
    2
  4150. And yet how many here have been lifelong socialists? What did they expect from the Nanny State?
    2
  4151. And yet they vote for the opposite--socialism.
    2
  4152. @Mr. Schott That's ridiculous on multiple levels. 1st the masses get what they demand, wealthy don't control you and they sure as hell aren't so stupid and childish as to wish ill for others. Obviously you are projecting your own tiny mentality on to others You are apparently so mired in perpetual poverty mentality that you think wealth entirely defines a person?? You need to associate with more diverse set of ppl.

  4153. Men shorter or less prosperous than HER are invisible to her, I have no prob w that. Likewise for F-insts to me, invisible.
    2
  4154.  @ModelJames13  Fair enough but semantics loose here. Real woman, street or mansion, does not tolerate weak, worship, doormat type, which a lot of males (not men) are prone to and current culture has long encouraged. Just as a MAN will not tolerate a "boss bitch" or endless fabricated drama. Etcetera.
    2
  4155. "Don't talk about money, politics or religion." The way I remember it, totally agree that's weak and counter productive, the hardest things to talk about are often the most crucial TO talk about.
    2
  4156. Been gradually building 'emergency' stocks, mostly food, for several yrs plus grow citrus, avos, nuts, fruits, berries, vegies......need to add sweet potatoes and maybe a few hens....eventually solar/batts and rain harvesting.

  4164. Not against nukes but home rooftop solar plus batts will do the job cost effectively very soon given recent advancement trajectories.

  4165.  @maxsilver3295  If you have a point to make please do so.
    2
  4166.  @maxsilver3295  Your final thought discredits everything, stupid kids react emotionally like that. Ayn Rand (yes I know you have been indoctrinated to loath her ) defined the American version of Libertarian. So if you haven't read and understood Atlas Shrugged none of your other readings matter. (notice I have no where endorsed Ayn or Libertarians, simply attempting to define our terms here)
    2
  4167. Libertarianism is not anarchy as you may have been taught by our Marxist leaning babysitting...I mean public schools, and universities. Libertarians stand FOR police, courts and justice in general, and a national defense.
    2
  4168. This will only increase the tourist attractiveness, more crap to gawk at.
    2
  4169. All's well that ends well! Now there's even more tourist attraction on site.
    2
  4170. And preceded both by a wide margin.
    2
  4171. Not the 1st time I've seen photos/vids of fields of BYDs....doesn't look good and this has become something of a tradition in China to over produce for subsidies and pile up the wasted product as they've done by the million with bicycles.
    2
  4172.  @paintedpony2935  Indeed he promoted Twit 2.0 simultaneously.
    2
  4173. WRONG side you meant. 😉
    2
  4174. Not unless governments push it hard which they shouldn't but may. (to last question) Companies will be compelled to stick rigorously to the numbers. I don't think it makes sense to subsidize BEVs either except to reduce dependency on the CCP, not necessary nor very helpful and deficit spending is going to cost us big time.
    2
  4175. You don't need to mandate every damned thing. Rental property owners will provide chargers on their own as an easy extra incentive for renters, they often provide far more expensive infrastructure like gyms and swimming pools that few use. Currently there just aren't many econobox BEVs available for the peasants, that will change fast in next several yrs. The real problem is the vast expansion in grid capacity required.
    2
  4176.  @johnpoldo8817  Thanks for making half my point for me. HOAs, as crap as they tend to be, won't stop anyone from installing a F'n charger that they can't even see, pretty sure of that.

  4177. Lucid predicament becoming increasingly clear. Some exceptional engineering and desirable product but lacking the necessary extreme cost discipline.

  4180.  @markplott4820  Casting makes sense printing doesn't. I don't know what nano has to do with any of this. When you say 'casting roadster in one pc.' it could indicate large sections but obviously not the entire car, lol.
    2
  4181. I'm just wondering if we are devolving as a species back to the mohawk of the early '90's. :D
    2
  4182. Not refining so much as extraction, gas and oil come from the same natural processes and usually coexist in the ground. Gas also a common problem in underground coal mines.
    2
  4183.  @FrotLopOfficial  It's very refreshing, this sort of dynamic creative destruction that proves the indispensable nature of free enterprise. The "Big 3" were upset and down sized back in the early 1980's to a much lessor degree due to lethargic complacency and lack of competition/garbage products, then it was superior Japanese brands, this time around the upset should be much bigger.
    2
  4184.  @clu4u  Well yeah I think it does matter plenty tho I'm not sure if that's a gross overstatement or not. He wasn't someone I'd want to live next to or be friends with probably. Credit for paying high wages in the early yr.s tho.
    2
  4185. IDK but I'd focus 1st on North America, particularly Canada. They want to keep supply lines short as possible.
    2
  4186. Yeah but this one has a unique take on it so it's worthwhile.
    2
  4187. R&D spent per car sold I believe includes ALL Tesla's R&D, solar roof, batt packs, bot.....not likely a fair compare to other mfgs.
    2
  4188.  @Gardillus  I prefer subtle styling but I was talking about VALUE. Does that mean anything to you? It's crucial to most buyers. There are a few compelling options, Polstar 2 (recalled for software that doesn't work) and some other Chinese brands. Fortunately there are many upstarts to take the place of the old failures, creative destruction is healthy. I can't say about German names but GM and Ford have far more debt than they can survive. We used to depend on Sears which is all but forgotten and not missed, same with Zerox, Kodak, Nokia, and so on. You don't seem to have a clue about the hurdles facing old staid OEMs without any electronic or software experience or expertise. They are ALL fucked frankly. They don't even have the batts if they could sell their inferior oferings. And their innovations?? Name them! Never mind Porsche it's a 1%er option. How about for $40k? Anything you'd want to own?
    2
  4189. ENDLESS obstacles. Hank Rearden cubed.
    2
  4190. Nice work Sir. Oh...and I like your style.
    2
  4191.  @grahambrown42  I get it, and it's a better form of a natural tribal instinct we all seem to have. But I'm 'proud' of my old BMWs and the Germans who made them, many feel the same about their old Toyotas for good reason. But if you really think XYZ are a fraud (cough, cough...Trevor Milton/Nikola) then it's fine to express such in harsh terms regardless where they hail from. And I don't hate on the likes of Mark, he and his kind have literally made me a modest fortune, but I can sure make fun of him especially if he refuses to learn his lessons and remains arrogant after being proven stupidly wrong repeatedly. I don't care if he's American or not.
    2
  4192.  @pryceallhome  They can get fractional shares, it's purely emotional instead of reasonable, hence lower quality shareholders who are only in it bc it's "going up", most of 'em will be blown out in a 30% dip.
    2
  4193.  @markplott4820  I bet you really forgot too! :D It was sort of the Amazon of the 20th century, hard to imagine now. We used to get everything from work cloths, car batts, hand and power tools, large and small appliances....on and on.
    2
  4194. They'll be missed just like Sears that we used to depend on in my little town back in the day but have now forgotten.
    2
  4195. After India, TX, Detroit, 2nd and 3rd China plants.....
    2
  4196.  @youtubemakesmedothis7280  Is that so? I have zero clue how to value such things which means no touch. Modest fortune in TSLA for a few yrs instead, likely to beyond end of decade. Works for me so far. :D
    2
  4197. GM deserves credit for the EV1, crushing them later is another thing but at least they made a serious effort when NO ONE else was.
    2
  4198. As we've seen with Blue Origin vs SpaceX...having God's own purse strings is NOT enough to compete with Elon.
    2
  4199. Maybe F and GM simply saw the insanity in the EV stocks and figured they too should cash in on it before their debt load kills them off. Remains to be seen if they can deliver those numbers.
    2
  4200.  @david9192  Maybe. I don't think anyone knows that sort of thing. Fast change means many others will be proposed and there are thousands of "break throughs" every decade.
    2
  4201. It would be better if charging car during the DAY as that would reduce grid storage required, for solar power, significantly.
    2
  4202. Batt swapping must be a massive penalty for NIO requiring 2 batt packs for every vehicle and vastly greater charging infrastructure. I don't see how that model can last long.
    2
  4203. I hope you at least own a few shares of TSLA by now Sir. (memory tells me you were not so invested) The Exxon of charging too?! Taking over the world via virtue. As per usual--quality unique perspective.
    2
  4204. That VW meeting visual is just sad on the backdrop off 'mission T'.
    2
  4205.  @bloodaid  GOOD GRIEF. Efficiency MATTERS. How is this hard for you to understand? If you can get one Cybertruck to the Moon for $10M vs. 5 purpose built vehicles for the same price which are you going to do? Besides the fact that no earth appropriate vehicle will also be suited to another body for a host of reasons--vacuum, extreme cold, extreme fluctuations in temperature, and so on.
    2
  4206. A good military vehicle is never a good civilian vehicle so maybe they need at least two very different versions of this truck.

  4207. About 8 guys doing the roofing job for 4 days has got to be expensive, think I'll wait until 3 guys can do it in 2 days. ;-)

  4211. As a subscription?? I don't think so.
    2
  4212. Yeah he impressed me by even meeting with Munro, good free advertising to a limited audience but also a risk as he wouldn't necessarily control the narrative. I used to view him as similar to a football coach. And the Lightening is actually a compelling rig in a space I'm not even sure the CT will penetrate much, a real work truck. Most sales of CT seem to be more of a fashion statement.

  4216. Gotta love Elon's sense of humor. 9:15 It would be senseless to take this toxic crap from the WH seriously, a bunch of sold out clowns.

  4224. Yeah 2:20 'have to pay Tesla about $40B...' WTF?? I'm done at that point.
    2
  4225.  @mattjung5937  Right--no extra money for Tesla I don't know what the hell he was thinking.
    2
  4226. Trivial BUT::: 9:25 that's simply to ostentations and hideous for me. Get over the massive radiator grill already, Good GRIEF.
    2
  4227. Remember the criticism from The Street a few yrs ago concerning Super Charger investments? But of course what didn't they pan about T.

  4228. I believe your Tesla debt number is from last yr., current debt is near zero.

  4229. My bro used to see Feynman on Cal Tech campus back in the '80's. (BFD right?)
    2
  4230.  @bangerbangerbro  Several have: AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, and GOOG is close. TSLA has a long way to go to that cap.

  4231.  @lengould9262  NO clue where your coming from with that. Utterly irrelevant to my post.

  4232. Others would do it if customers were concerned enough to prioritize that degree of safety. Traditionally those folks just drove a Volvo.

  4233. Elon Musk should have started here instead of against Disney, but it could become contagious from any angle. We've tacitly accepted this crap. (most of us it seems)

  4234. See FAA webpage expressing the "mission" to have safe diverse fun job, nothing about keeping flight safe. We are on our own.
    2
  4235.  @lok777  Not just bullied, beaten by mob of thugs, they may not act like that typically but that's what they were in that moment. Clearly none had ever faced consequences for such behavior.
    2
  4236. Yeah and I have Castro's twin son Newsom for governor.
    2
  4237.  @Kevinb1821  I have long policy of tending to avoid heavily advertised anything, some exceptions but that's my reflex.
    2
  4238.  @stevewebb7126  Agreed, tho has nothing to do with wealth of those involved, that's degraded poverty mentality BS. So complain to your representatives about spending our tax monies on pointless search and rescues.
    2
  4239. I can't help but disrespect those wearing masks when not required.

  4242. Sad life you've lived.
    2
  4243. Hats off to Ausies for holding the line with China.
    2
  4244. Yes it has, WW2 and especially THE Cold War were far more immediately dangerous, we were justified in fearing everyday might be our last during, before and after the 1960's.
    2
  4245.  @captaindeliciouspants6969  For highly informed content on subject these guys lived there for a decade or so, loved the country, married Chinese women and then barely escaped with their lives and families just a yr or so ago, bc they showed the whole truth in their YT vids which of course you cannot do in China::: ADVChina (and related channels if you find it worthwhile) Apparently there is less redistribution in China today then in most of the West. Again--literally 100's of millions living on a $1.5 or less per day while many others are very prosperous. How we label it is becoming a semantic argument which I don't care much about.
    2
  4246.  @serpentza  Yeah I'm prone to road trips too and don't see major impediments to it at this point and fuel is cheap. (my fave BMW M3 V8 is fairly thirsty)
    2
  4247.  @luyfljf862  Just like governments in general you meant, certainly inc Dems. But at least we can slander and fire them all , NOT SO in China.
    2
  4248. Situation normal for China. Perhaps part of the reason Berkshire has been selling the stock for about a yr. (why don't u just buy TSLA Warren and Munger??)

  4249. Interesting and depressing. Most homeless ppl don't have initiative to do anything for themselves usually.
    2
  4250.  @charlesreid9337  I am modestly rich Sport. Why don't you start asking questions I could help you realize financial independence too. I love to see others succeed and it breeds further success in others still. I worked at an underground mine starting out, but you wouldn't understand with only fast food jobs in your experience.
    2
  4251.  @mbburry4759  Good work comes BEFORE good pay. Have you ever employed ppl consistently 40hrs/wk, legally?
    2
  4252.  @wilfdarr  SURE just arrest anyone convenient. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
    2
  4253.  @komali2  Good point. But DA held to higher standard for some good reasons.
    2
  4254. Leftist shithole. This is what the idiots want and have for a long time.
    2
  4255. I've been beating that drum for many yrs and when mentioning it to young ppl their eyes glaze over, even 'guaranteed' 6 figure incomes within a few yrs doesn't mean anything to them bc for decades in America we have stigmatized the trades, negative status no matter how smart and successful you may be at it. Plus it entails REAL WORK which most youth have no tolerance for nor any experience.
    2
  4256.  @mhero9255  Despite two of my siblings being professors and living in a college town myself--I hope for a big shift with the 'going online' thing courtesy of Covid, plus the insane tuition inflation. No doubt labs, regular classes and "the college experience" can not be entirely replaced (I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything) still most learning can be done online today without any instructors required. I'd cheer if enrollment was cut in half, it's the reality check universities desperately need. Degrees are cheapened with 'everyone has one' right when they are most ridiculously expensive. And right when "your plumber will drive a Porsche" as the trades become some of the most lucrative jobs available. I wonder who will fill the trade jobs in this coming infrastructure build, seems we need to import a couple million more Mexicans as established citizens are TOO GOOD to do manual work.
    2
  4257. Endless opportunities in the trades, 6 figures readily available but ppl don't want those jobs at any price.
    2
  4258.  @jackbayu555  Yup. Once again we need to throw ALL the bums out, start fresh.
    2
  4259. I was thinking same. Crime was some 3X higher, subways at night were a ghetto. Likely some well funded real estate folks will buy low and thrive later.
    2
  4260. 7:00 pardon me but I LOVE that sweeping vacant ROAD! Perfect for my M3. :D
    2
  4261.  @Sedgewise47  Not only sad but terrifying if not infuriating perhaps. 1st hand glimpse of how societies allow total dehumanizing tyrannical governments like Communism to take hold. The scary part is that everything that makes us human has a genetic component , religiosity, courage vs coward, productive vs leach/criminal, submissive vs assertive and self respecting.... Your children are going to have some degree of her traits guaranteed, and not just intelligence, facial features and eye color.....
    2
  4262.  @Rickbearcat  Plus our system has been fundamentally corrupting for decades. Cred to John McCain as he attempted to accomplish campaign finance reform in the '90's. "Who John, who is being corrupted!" another senator exclaimed. "All of us." replied McCain. The best candidate would be someone with zero political ambitions, someone who has an agenda to achieve certain goals, reforms, etc., but doesn't want the job, only willing to do it out of duty or desperation to get certain things done then return to respectable private life.
    2
  4263.  @BetterDeadThanRed99  98% of it's value over about 200 yrs? You must be young. Hopefully you figure out soon enough (before it's too late for a decent retirement) that things were never ideal and yet SOME folks always thrive and others always wallow in self pity and excuses for personal failure. You have to keep on investing one in yourself and in the economy or your guaranteed to fail.

  4265. I don't buy into the $100k FSD, they won't have a monopoly on it.
    2
  4266. Based on THIS there's no way to draw such a conclusion. Why not blame the parents or our garbage school system that promotes entitled punks like this?
    2
  4267.  @Jack_Russell_Brown  OKAY... U can't answer simple pertinent question honestly, must divert topic. I don't bother with BS. Bye byyyye!

  4268.  @Jack_Russell_Brown  WHERE would YOU put excess water? In heaven, in your dream world?? Where?

  4269. Why would police bother when there are no consequences from "prosecutors".
    2
  4270.  @jonathancole6124  Some kinds of rock can last far longer than just about any manmade structural material, granite for example. Sandstone, limestone and marble much easier to shape but not near as durable. Egyptian great pyramids are mostly made of relatively weak and erodible limestone with exception of key internal structural elements and they were externally cased in granite and alabaster I believe, most of that was pilfered, quarried to build Cairo over the centuries. (many think pyramids may be vastly older than official estimates, possibly even 10's of thousands of yrs, but that's a wild tangent) Point being--if we could build dams out of granite they could last many thousands of yrs, far exceeding any concrete. Even blocks of granite w concrete/grout might last millennia, as rock partially protects the grout from elements. (Grout joints could be problematic for a high pressure dam tho) That's sort of the Roman success story it seems, tho not with rock as good as granite.
    2
  4271. Probably built with something like 50 yr life and to lower standards than today. You can't maintain some things and this is clearly a very lightly built structure. If the concrete is crumbling near the base as indicated, not much u can do other than replace it.
    2
  4272. If they really "change hands a dozen times per century" they sound a little useless.
    2
  4273.  @thefucrew9865  If unborn children (or unconceived) had free will they wouldn't chose poverty, disease and early excruciating death. HOW is this hard for you to understand? It doesn't matter what others including parents have done it's, not the burden of others to carry the blame. GET IT??? That's the definition of IMMORALITY. Obviously the Goddamned Bible has corroded your moral compass. Your god is small minded vicious evil tyrant and the real "god" will punish you for cowardice, intellectual laziness and irresponsibility for falling for that false god. You should be ashamed.
    2
  4274. Yeah the talons are the real threat and it's hard to guess how the bird will react as it must be terrified, tho perhaps too tired to fight much.
    2
  4275. Miracle my ass, that was all about compassion and determination.

  4276. Hank Rearden squared

  4277. Well said. This vid has nothing but commonsensical stuff, but OK reminders.
    2
  4278.  @keithhunt8  I sold 1/3 yesterday, another 1/3 on the block for today....need some cash for gen. purposes anyway. Already have a pile of TSLA from over a yr. ago. :D
    2
  4279. OK....I'm right about to sell my modest SPOT position for this, PATHETIC. Joe should cancel contract if this goes anywhere and I bet he will.
    2
  4280. 1960's were heck of a lot crazier. Since Plato the new generation is totally off the rails, lazy and useless, from perspective of older gens.
    2
  4281. Worth showing the true colors and contrasts of these fools tho.
    2
  4282.  @robertcuratolo5339  That means he was cutting deadwood, I'm guessing a lot more to come. This is healthy for society in every way.

  4283. BFR stood for Big Fu_king Rocket, the Falcon was tossed in later to appease the mentally frail...in any case it wasn't a permanent label from the beginning.
    2
  4284. What does it say about the modern era that Russia is still in the G20?
    2
  4285. Independent YT channels can be SO much better than the establishment. They are getting better, advancing faster , running to catch up while miles ahead of anyone but Chinese. Tesla reducing unit sales prices (hypothetical) vs dramatically reducing mfg costs for certain? Increasing SAS, etc. EVs are competing with ICE cars kids! Not so much between brands of EV, for yrs to come.
    2
  4286. Elon has been consistent on this topic and most everything else for 20 yrs. Apparently you only learned who he is in the last yr or so, some of us have followed him for decades. Tesla subsidies didn't even come close to leveling the playing field with fossils, their only competition.
    2
  4287. Closer to 10 months, pay attention to what matters if you care.
    2
  4288. It's going to 10X TSLA, only a question of when.

  4289.  @viadharmawheel  Biden isn't king and Fraudstown JUST FAILED, bankrupt soon by their own warning. BIG SURPRISE.
    2
  4290. "Let us get back to work." How obvious is that folks? The alternative is starvation.
    2
  4291. Most of these companies have been bloated and sloppy, bout time they trim the fat.
    2
  4292. They should learn to weld, ton of demand there.
    2
  4293. Blacked out?? They have traditionally appeared maybe a few times per yr.

  4294. 6:50 She meant 40M units not dollars.
    2
  4295. And that got in the way of the content for you?
    2
  4296.  @teslabot5650  What's that got to do with reality of the situation?
    2
  4297. Slightly clickbait but predictable conclusion. Naturally he's not easy to work for, easy isn't even in his DNA.
    2
  4298.  @shapursasan9019  It's looking like mid 2019 all over again, trying to scrounge some pocket change for token few more shares toward 5000. :D
    2
  4299.  @shapursasan9019  He sometimes has some useful insights but this isn't one of them, just childish reaction to price action which is right in line with the Naz and TSLA's 2X beta, as tho Elon's Twitter saga has had zero effect.
    2
  4300. Grow up good GRIEF.

  4301. Because she's smart and right about many things. Why are you here?

  4304. He cares enough to be productive and responsible about this.
    2
  4305. No such thing as "definitely" in this biz but I believe 10 to 20X by 2030.
    2
  4306. Won't defend him on that but ppl need to be responsible for their own choices.
    2
  4307. F and GM have been in biz over a century and they can't even make a profit on an ICE car , they only know how to make a profit on pickups which are protected by 25% tariff subsidies, and SUVs. They aren't even close to making a profit on EVs and have crippling debt nearly double their market cap They are sloppy, lethargic and generally lousy. WHY would you expect them to exist by decade end other than another bailout?
    2
  4308. Zero perspective here. Using AP is safer than not using it and vastly safer than average American car crash rate. That's about all you need to know. Nearly 1M cars on the road, some are going to crash over 3 yrs time. Sheesh.
    2
  4309. Some good points around 4:30, nice to see Craig much less bearish than he had been.
    2
  4310.  @LastDays77  Not easy but if you perpetually have more demand than you can accommodate--you are too cheap. Price yourself up to reduce hrs down to 40hrs or whatever.
    2
  4311.  @Hshjshshjsj72727  Would you be proud to tell ppl you have blue collar job? It's been stigmatized for decades now in our failed schools and in general.
    2
  4312. Not a loss until you cash out which isn't what a retirement fund is for. ALL of those who 'got hurt' in 2008/09 did so only due to emotional reactions and no market discipline. Same with all 'crashes'.
    2
  4313.  @freestylefranc2653  It has nothing to do with Tesla except that the occupants of car couldn't exit after crash, which is common to modern cars in general but probably needs to be addressed as the safest cars on the road should account for everything possible. Or maybe you want to limit the acceleration of vehicles to suit unskilled reckless drivers?
    2
  4314. How--other than being reckless?
    2
  4315.  @wangyuan0325  I was 'smart' enough to trade it well a few times and to "bet the ranch" starting at $38 last yr. but I'm not clever 'nough to trade it in general...done very well simply holding, only adding a little in dips.
    2
  4316. Gotta love this girl. We need 100X more of her sort.
    2
  4317. She's obviously genuinely happy regardless of your indoctrination that "all such ladies must be misreble", that's simply false. How about learning something new?
    2
  4318. God doesn't give a flying fig about anyone.
    2
  4319. Seems like the sweetest most highly feminine woman ever. I don't care that much what others think, so I'd embrace her if the worst was the porn she did...hypothetically. :D
    2
  4320. Lockdowns were a massive mistake everywhere they haven't done anything to reduce Covid fatalities. Completely ignoring the science they are idiotically reckless. The USA also cannot afford the insane debt growth.
    2
  4321. It's just kids--there are a lot more where those came from plus you can't break'em. :D
    2
  4322.  @Eurobrasil550  It's a matter of degree. Starmer's death tax will gradually kill off family farms. And who really "owns" the land when Big Gov tells U what you can plant and where?
    2
  4323. Very pleased he has this level of following, a glimpse of light in the evil fog of current Leftist dystopian forces.
    2
  4324. I like plants I can pick off for months, yes takes time but (Noob to mulberries) I'll take 2 months of, say blueberries, little bowl every day, over one week of excess I can't keep up with.
    2
  4325.  @The-Wide-Angle  I've seen the data for myself. Unfortunately today, peer review often means squat, at least in the completely corrupted climate 'science' where no one questioning popular dogma can participate. That's a highly unscientific way to proceed. NASA and NOAA have even gone back to "correct" data to fit the narrative, in some instances (they give other reasons but I don't buy it, just too convenient). Sounds wild but it is what it is. They want to erase the Medieval Warm Period, the record highs in USA of 1930's, etc. Inconvenient data. Google is also assumed censorious until proven innocent. Sure as hell censored crucial info during covid on YouTube.
    2
  4326. It's more Establishment media hype than daily reality. 4 million Tesla cars and we hear about the dozen in a week that get vandalized. Meanwhile far more of any car crash every 10 minutes.
    2
  4327. Incentives dubious too. Mandates are clearly counter productive, pointless and drive massive backlash.
    2
  4328.  @alcampbellva3030  I don't get to burn your house down bc U have political sign I don't like. Get it??
    2
  4329. These vandalism charges clearly fall under the terrorism definition. That means a minimum of 5 yrs up to 20 without parole. (plus held without bail)
    2
  4330.  @The-Wide-Angle  Not the Medieval Warm period it wasn't -0.4C. NONE of it is because of CO2, that's the point. And what cause the 12C extreme swings in mere decades, only 12.5k yrs ago, Younger Dryass. How about the last 2.5M yrs of mostly devastating glacial maximums punctuated with these relatively brief inner glacial times? None of it's explained by CO2 but we've been extremely close to CO2 levels so low it would destroy the biosphere as we know it, during glacial maximums. Good case to be made that more CO2 is better than less, certainly better for plant life, crop yields and so on.
    2
  4331.  @The-Wide-Angle  The extreme low CO2 levels of recent millions of yrs have coincided with erratic devastating swings. There is no reason to expect more historic normalization of CO2 will make things worse. Life thrived at 7000ppm. Solar variability appears to be a far better predictor of climate, and certainly Milankovitch cycles which we also can't control. There is no good reason to expect the arbitrary low 300ppm is better than 600ppm, or 0.03% vs 0.06%. It's a trace gas that we can't live without and a major factor in increased crop yields over last half century. High value greenhouse crops often are raised to 2000ppm for greatly increased yields, 4000 is even better but not worth the extra cost typically. In either case--pollinators and ppl, etc., are not apparently effected. If you live in a modern relatively airtight home, 2000 plus is common inside. And if you have a salt water aquarium? The coral is does fine.

  4332. Ipace and Porsche will eat Tesla's lunch. 😉
    2
  4333. And not radicalized, likeable. Too bad he didn't have a clue why we voted R. For me it was a done deal after the lawfare against Elon and T of last couple yrs. (not to overlook the ALL the rest over 8 yrs)

  4334.  @KopperNeoman  Doesn't matter, no supreme being is going to care what we believe, only what we do.
    2
  4335. I took for granted mid 1960's that we were taught how to 'duck and cover' under school desk as we faced perpetual imminent thermal nuclear exchange during height of Cold War. Raised that way, never dominated our lives. Later the joke was: "Duck with head between legs and kiss your ass goodbye."
    2
  4336. Took for granted mid 1960's being taught to 'duck and cover' under school desk as we faced perpetual imminent thermal nuclear exchange. Raised that way, situation normal, like hurricane threat, flood, fire, earthquake....only a lot worse. lol Later the joke was: "Duck with head between legs and kiss your ass goodbye."

  4341. SlurpEee25 Learn to reality check yourself. Have you ever played with the likes of a Colt 45 pistol? Those planes were going about the speed of those .45 cal bullets. Aircraft aluminium is roughly the same strength of the structural steel it impacted (by volume) but far higher strength design by necessity. Of course it's going to slice right thru the steel at those ballistic speeds! Even a weak lead bullet can penetrate some sheet steel at those speeds. WTF are you thinking?? going to bounce off at 500 mph!? Take a look at what happens to an F-4 Phantom hitting a blast wall built to protect a nuclear reactor at around the same speed, it can't penetrate much but it sure doesn't "bounce off does it"? https://youtu.be/--_RGM4Abv8

  4342. 813Productions Back in the 70's and 80's; unleaded gas and emissions controls were "the end of the muscle car", yup I'm old 'nuff to remember, those wonderful pre emissions 350 to 450hp cheap American (mostly) sedans with bad brakes, rubbish suspensions and ridiculously loose steering were "GONE FOREVER!" (snivel snivel) They were a lot of fun except when they crashed. But then stuff like THIS happened, lol. Proper brakes, decent suspension, properly insane hp..... Next the EVs are going to steal the drag race.

  4343. I'd pay you 1k right now. Might be OK for a planter, dunno what else I'd do with it.

    2
  4346. Exactly. It only changes throttle response, reduces "resolution", I don't use it but can see why some might like it.
    2
  4347. The signal controls are good, I slightly prefer them over conventional, they just take a day to get accustomed to.
    2
  4348.  @I_luv_sharmutas  It's not really an arm rest but a cover for the pass through door. Anyway how often do you see anyone in the back of one of these? I've only had more than one passenger a couple times in 2 yr.s.
    2
  4349. Tatoum974 You must mean CO2 limits? That's true but manufacturers do have efficiency regulations. As far as other types of emissions California is about as tough as anywhere I believe unless you own a diesel pickup then you can belch smoke constantly.
    2
  4350. While not using it as who'd want to. 😄 Other than occasional novelty which is way cool.
    2
  4351. Still looks 'modern', or at least looks GOOD. (for what style is worth) Respect and RIP Honda.
    2
  4352. I pay fairly close attention to all Tesla competitors and none of them offer similar value to the Model 3. Taycan real range is 200 miles.

    2
  4360.  @lesleylamy  He got involved for first time, in part due to "being in trouble" here. We've become a Banana Republic in recent yrs, DC completely out of control, Dems committing blatant open lawfare, political persecution. There is zero legit reason he's in trouble here.

  4364.  @themonsterunderyourbed9408  Yup. I wouldn't recommend my sports car to many, it's actually a replacement for the "crotch rockets" of my youth, an entirely different thing that I loved but also wouldn't recommend to others.

"Liberalism" is the biggest reason housing costs are high, some 40% the cost of building is due to regulatory mandates much of which are government overreach and bureaucratic empire building. As a society we have stigmatized the trades or anything that get's your hands dirty for decades. This results in an enormous opportunity for those not controlled by arbitrary job status signaling. Anyone of near average intelligence and health can fairly quickly earn 6 figure incomes today, no it's not *easy*, never was but it's far more doable and easier than ever. Most of the trades have been under high demand this entire century and will continue to be. NO EXCUSES for not being able to get wealthy on 6 figures with monetary discipline and modest financial literacy. Need I school you on personal economics? I'm an everyday millionaire (not a big deal anymore, we are common) starting at 18 by investing in myself, skills and *integrity*, working my ass off, living way below my means and investing very carefully. If that somehow doesn't workout where you are--MOVE...I did.

  4396. Gary C Pardon me pressing the point then, but I have learned a couple things here since I was not near as aware of the particulars of turboprops as airliner engines. Thanks for the discussion.
    2
  4397. Gary C Variable pitch and bypassing the combustion chamber with most of the thrust producing air are related but separate aspects. Again, turbofans have been 'emulating' turboprops in this way for half a century. (I believe it was the 747 that accelerated the adoption of high bypass efficiency) Apparently the difficulty comes about when attempting to gear the rotational speed differential along the same axis, hence requiring some sort of planetary arrangement where as turboprops have an offset prop shaft geared to the turbine shaft greatly simplifying the gearbox. Right?
    2
  4398. Gary C OK. If you were just funn'n than I shouldn't take it literally. However I think it's a safe bet that turboprops could also greatly benefit from a big differential in turbine versus prop RPM, for what it's worth....without considering the down side of higher cost, weight, maintenance, etc. (Sorry, I can't help but be fascinated by the engineering particulars that's why I clicked on the vid :-) )

NOTHING is more important than small businesses in America, who do you think is going to pay for those unpaid loans?! You have also been misled on that. Yes you were brain washed into college as the only way, so was I and I wouldn't trade my engineering degree process for anything. I also paid my own way, never considered loans or family support, took me extra long but I was free of debt, so NOW I have to pay for others who were foolishly naïve and reckless? You should revolt against the system that sold us this false narrative and is now politically capitalizing on it. That starts with Senator Karin, errr.. Elizabeth.
    2
  4402. Sure but what about those who got over their head in a McMansion mortgage, or those who took a loan to start a business. Why wouldn't every debt out there be "forgiven", aka., my burden as a responsible tax payer who never took on more debt than I could handle and has none?

  4403. Going back to the 1980's there's been a criticism that taken a couple more steps and the USAF would consist of exactly one aircraft given the price ramp up.

  4426.  @staralioflundnv  You are getting me back into this--dad had other concerns about that plug, can't remember details at the moment but maybe something to do with rebar and how it was attached to rock. Seepage could be very bad, in fact automatically is BAD. The granite will erode very slowly but the concrete?? Solid granite is vastly stronger, tougher and more erosion resistant than lousy concrete. I don't recall mention of option to locate plug further underground for seismic reasons tho that seems a pertinent consideration given the water coming mostly from far down that drift, deep underground. Underground miners report only "clicks" when the surface is shaken up to the point the canyon is filled with dust from rock slides, that starts around high mag 6's...6.8 plus say...still very modest, just enough to shake some things off shelves at home and make me run outside to keep motorcycle from falling over. hahaha Mag 5 is a joke, seriously. Plug and associated equipment should be rated for an 8.5 which is well over 1000X stronger. (in my amateur opinion) A plug just isn't that expensive to do right compared to a dam say.
    2
  4427. Interesting. Here we cross due to common interest in obscure topic and location... :D Thanks for the background and fam history! I lived in Silver Peak for a combined couple months while completing bid projects in the mid/late 1980's. Randy Weld was the purchasing manager I worked with...if I remember his title. I did custom structural steel work, some from shops in Cali but most on site. Remember it well and got aquainted with distillation ponds, where at least ONE of my projects seems to be still in use, a large industrial tank with special steel to resist abrasion, can be seen on Google Earth due to my unique design with top tank rim supported with radial "spokes") and with parts of the mill that I worked in. Wonder if I crossed paths with your dad, surely I would have if time frames overlapped. (((in case you were wondering--my YT handle is a joke name)))
    2
  4428.  @staralioflundnv  At 1st blush I would think seismic activity, even severe quakes, would have negligible effect on zone beyond plug due to above stated reason....given distance underground. It would of course be of concern for the surface infrastructure. I'd want everything possible to be underground where it's safe, turbine, electrical, etc. Also having everything at constant temperature and protected from snow drifts, freezing and so on. Rocks come off the cliffs like bullets and pass right thru any manmade object, vehicles, structures or whatever, even with common modest 7 mag quakes. Dad would order everyone to stay underground until aftershocks dissipated. Funny tangent story but relevant: Easy Go is about 3 miles plus long (called Easy Going because prior to that tunnel they had to transport all the 100s of employees up treacherous switchbacks on steep avalanche prone roads to around 10k alt original access and offices) Ray Gray (dad) designed the tunnel and the ditch on the side of it, for most of the length of the long tunnel mining process "Gray's ditch" was a standing joke bc it was dry until near the end when hitting abundant water and it filled to the top. This was not trivial bc the entire tunnel must be bigger and more expensive to accommodate the ditch. Dad simply measured the flow from many existing tunnels per length and averaged the results to figure the flow rate needed and it turned out to be on the money, pun intended. Some luck no doubt but everyone forgot the Gray's Ditch joke after that. SO...that plug could have been installed deep under and still capture most of the water available. In some places the water would blast out against the train cars as you passed, it was like Disneyland but better.

  4429.  @staralioflundnv  (thanks for link--very interesting to ME!)
    2
  4430.  @staralioflundnv  Prior to reading--one crucial point is that, surprisingly--earthquake waves travel on the surface and are not even felt underground, even when it's a mine cut into a cliff face. (exactly how far under such waves fail to penetrate/propagate IDK)
    2
  4431.  @staralioflundnv  Sounds like you might already know more about it than I. Didn't remember the CFS. :D Dad tried to persuade them to run a heavy steel pipe thru one area of unstable ground near the portal plug, prior to plugging it, for fear it would collapse one day shutting off the water flow but they didn't want to go to that expense apparently, and didn't follow that advice. Anyway dad enjoyed being consulted a little on the project.
    2
  4432.  @staralioflundnv  An interesting aside: The bottom of the "upside-down" Pine Creek Mine is the Easy Going Tunnel portal at 8200 ft. alt., (dad designed that tunnel) a few miles long and drains the entire mine up to around 11k alt. That portal was plugged in the '90's after mine shutdown to back up the water to high pressure for a small electric plant. It must be the "cleanest" power plant on Earth as it actually returned the very localized hydrogeology close to it's original state by re-pressurizing the fissures and restoring some of the historic seeps and springs while feeding power into the old existing lines that were previously used to power the mine. It would be even more restorative to plug the portal completely and not allow the water out at all but it wasn't likely to happen as the "micro power plant" was the impetuous to the expense of plugging it at all. What I'd pay to have that cold sweet untreated "spring" water (actually from the mine) flowing in my home pipes! Used to love drinking it when I worked briefly at the mine mill as it was fed into all the drinking fountains on the property.
    2
  4433.  @staralioflundnv  Like your rare perspective. Dad was something of a 'covert environmentalist', that is he didn't want to be labeled as such among his peers in the mining industry at that time but he did things like help establish wilderness boundaries for the Sierras. Mom had HER name on Sierra Club membership, lol. Dad had great career at Pine Creek tungsten mine, starting taking ore samples underground and finishing as mine superintendent. He traveled many places to look at company prospects from an operators perspective (exploration geologists often were too optimistic about the economic potential of an ore body they were working on)...Portugal, Australia, Brazil....and he would sometimes take some of us on vacations back to the countries he liked most from biz trips--especially Brazil many times, I went with to Portugal/Spain.
    2
  4434.  @staralioflundnv  Thanks, I try to be brief this in no place for a booklet but... :D I have engineering background but dad was geologist and I was raised only a few hours drive from Silver Pk. (which is literally next town away in that area) we explored all over. Dad occasionally taught university extension classes from home town, Bishop, CA, and was always on top of developments in the field.
    2
  4435.  @michaelharrison3046  I'm not up to date but my guess would be the same primary methods at least, that is the ponds concentrate and drop various unwanted salts until Li salt is about to come out of solution then they pipe it into the mill. Hard to imagine any of that changing much. I wouldn't be surprised if the mill had been upgraded a few times but it seemed to me a relatively simple process already, almost always a little room for at least tinkering around the edges of course. Assuming the vid is current--nice to see them still in operation.

Unlike car purchases, commercial is strictly by the numbers, won't take but a few yrs to verify cost effectiveness across the industry. Big chargers required take time to permit and link to the grid. Grid $/kwh varies widely as does diesel. Here in Commifornia, electric is stupidly high and diesel is expensive. All 3 of Pepsi's Tesla depos are in Cali.

  4491. If economy is important to you--you'll be driving an EV before you know it. Leave this post up so we can make fun of you in 5 yr.s. There is plenty of Li available, Ni is a far bigger problem but not all batts need Nickle.
    2
  4492. How is Google comparable or a competitor? What tech are you talking about? There is a good bull case for much higher TSLA prices you simply don't get it, but it is likely due for a pause at least in the short term.
    2
  4493.  @wjhung2  Clearly.

  4494.  @wjhung2  It showed up here: https://youtu.be/7N06BLkO50k

  4495. CCP doesn't need to tell ME to stay out of their markets! I'm long gone from that with the exception of TSLA.
    2
  4496.  @curiouse  Yes and they are the enemy ...as ya'll try to become rich, right? :D
    2
  4497. Right. Same for all the reckless gambler newbies, I care but they asked for it.
    2
  4498. Occasionally tuned into S. Link for a decade or so, this her best most animated with pertinent data. Not normally a fave of mine.
    2
  4499. NAFTA has nothing to do with China.
    2
  4500.  @KamiKarma006  GM backed Nikola and Fraudstown, that fooled a lot of reckless gamblers. Rivian IS real, not comparing it to the fakes but big backers only goes so far, it may well see $200 before it goes to 50 or 30, it has good prospects for existence, but mass production profitability may never happen. Likely buy it in 5 yrs for $100 or less. Could be a good trade anything can be.
    2
  4501.  @KamiKarma006  Only go up??? That's never been true nor will be. TONS of risk and downside. With God's own purse strings Bezos hasn't even come close to orbit with BO.
    2
  4502.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  OK maybe a good point on debt accounting, IDK the details. But demand is thru the F'n ROOF, if not 10's of M's now, it's not far off and that is their mistake. Anyone making linear extrapolations like that has been wrong so far with EVs and will be much more wrong in a few yrs as the curve steepens. Such transformations are never linear from horses to original gasoline autos, refrigeration, phones, TVs, home AC, cell phones, Iphones....
    2
  4503.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  All comparisons have some validity but Toy, GM and many other legacies are going to struggle to survive this decade. 2001, 60 Minutes: "Amazon is worth 20% MORE THAN SEARS?!!!" (stated with all due incredulity) Similar with Apple being worth as much as all the other phone mfgs combined about '1000X' ago.
    2
  4504.  @zelareka  Well THAT didn't age well with TSLA already hitting over 2k way ahead of her projections.
    2
  4505.  @Anomize23  Very few are purchasing Toyota H cars because they are expensive and stupidly pricy to fuel with no path away from that situation.
    2
  4506. That's too bad because he had a lot of interesting things to say regardless.
    2
  4507. Sack'em! ;-)
    2
  4508. Coming to the USSA soon!
    2
  4509.  @kvnsns82  It's not the only one, we get that. And US market share can't remain at 70%, that was a forgone conclusion and doesn't matter. The competition is still mainly ICE and total BEV market will continue to grow like crazy with no one but Asian brands even planning to spool up production to meet it....besides Tesla.
    2
  4510. Demand issues still more rumor than fact, we'll soon get the numbers. Anyway it's no biggy, Tesla may trim their record margins but continue to sell everything they can make and unlike most of the others--they mass produce them.
    2
  4511. To be a global leader Washington needs to be motivated for it, that was tossed out the window in 2016 with nationalism, MAGA.
    2
  4512.  @davidkw9  Compared to China?!? What freedoms do I lack as an American?
    2
  4513. And everything else if you pay attention.
    2
  4514.  @Almighty_Hebers  Why do YOU rule out taking such personal responsibility as creating your own job? Yeah everyone theoretically COULD do so, everyone could be self employed. Even maids, landscapers to engineers for Boeing do it. Broaden your horizons.
    2
  4515.  @sonjahall9916  I welcome him to run again IF he escapes prison where he most likely belongs...seems pure fantasy that the Rs would go down this road again anyway.

  4516. Impeachment FIRST. It's not clear if he can pardon himself.
    2
  4517.  @stes3061  Are you seriously THAT dumb? No one makes money by losing it or he'd have been deliberately losing money all along. Good Grief, THINK.
    2
  4518.  @joeltorres1379  Well good for you and all other businesses adapting and making the best of it. My industrial contracting biz hasn't been directly effected at all so far. However I sympathize with tight margin service sector and hate to see the loss of businesses that define the quality of our towns and cities.
    2
  4519. Are you kidding? Most of the population are so reckless they can't even save enough to support THEMSELVES for 7 days! *How about YOU?? *
    2
  4520.  @mikemyers1516  It may well follow similar if muted trajectory, get out on the way up and stay out of the way for a few yrs.

  4522. LISTEN to the vid, Good GRIEF.
    2
  4523.  @ashishpatel350  BOTH. And docs are STILL pushing these extreme narcotics bc so little has been done for accountability.
    2
  4524. Trading is for pros and retail failures. Know what you own and why and invest instead of short termism.
    2
  4525.  @greghelton4668  Yup, I think that will be serious competition.
    2
  4526.  @cobrachannel100  Polestar2's have been selling reasonably well in Euro for quit a while. Some like them better than Teslas.
    2
  4527.  @chbuki  Sweden and South Korea demonstrate lock downs are unnecessary, obviously extremely destructive. Bailouts are a LAST resort and can't continue for long under any circumstances, scary and sad but many fine restaurants, bars, personal services, etc., are going to disappear for good.
    2
  4528. NOT dark days for Tesla, they are doing excellent. TSLA is another thing and doesn't make sense currently but will eventually.
    2
  4529. The problem with this sort of opinions program is that they necessarily focus on very short term (it's their reason for being) when WE should all ignore the noise and think 5, 10 or 20 yrs out...NOT next month or even next yr.
    2
  4530. Part of his attraction is obscure references and understated cynicism, often hilarious but requiring some thought and background.
    2
  4531. Wow that's SO ORIGINAL since last century!!
    2
  4532. GOOD GRIEF, most everyone considers themselves as such and we aren't all that different except some are stupid losers. hahaha
    2
  4533. If they were that smart they wouldn't be in panic mode now after horrible gamble gone South.
    2
  4534. Run up is included in the prior inflation numbers, discounts represent deflation TODAY, doesn't matter where they came from but where they are going.
    2
  4535. On the surface this sounds like the age old, inherently corrupt "revolving door" between industry and DC. IBM now has influential direct door to Washington policy.

  4536. What if I WANT a turkey for Christmas?
    2
  4537. You won't mention it in 2 yrs.
    2
  4538.  @johndavis8457  I don't believe in easy money but instead DD, participation and serious INVESTING which is never easy but usually lucrative applied with discipline over longer time frames.
    2
  4539. Seems some feel need to offset what's missing on top.
    2
  4540. Pushing back is their job, there's always TWO sides to any "trade".
    2
  4541.  @2CommaClub  Same for all the YouTube Tesla fan channels that are long TSLA. Fine them all into oblivion so you don't have to think for yourself! :D
    2
  4542.  @hotstockgirl9625  Stupid NOT to be an opportunist on stocks. I saw the opportunity May & June of this yr. to buy TSLA low thanks in large part to the shorties, shorts have made me some fine gains. Under what law should Left be fined?
    2
  4543. Not just because he changed his mind but I have enjoyed Left for yrs, it's fine to disagree, where as Chanos is just to reinforce my long TSLA stance and as delusional/dishonest as he is I can enjoy his losses beyond my own gains. :D I don't care where I stand this is a GREAT DEBATE, credit to all involved including CNBC.
    2
  4544.  @markplott4820  I backed up the truck from 38 to $60ish, mid 2019, but it doesn't matter where it's been only where it's going, to STAY LONG today is exactly the same as purchasing today at today's price and I would if could.
    2
  4545. Competition is good but Rivian has yet to prove itself. Be a long time before Americanos need to export E-pickups, local demand will take all production for yrs.
    2
  4546.  @R3tr0v1ru5  Totally with you, however these don't even come close to leveling the field with petrol subsidies which everyone seems to forget about. But it fuels the emotional anti-EV sentiment and is completely unnecessary. Demand already consistently outpaces supply which will only be more pronounced in coming yrs.
    2
  4547. @Banned Again Let childish emotions guide your life and pay the price of bad choices willful ignorance brings. It's why you are mired in perpetual poverty.
    2
  4548. It dropped a little on Friday.
    2
  4549. He's been saying the same things for yrs now, what are you talking about?
    2
  4550.  @keto6789  Why then did he offer up so many bullish indicators? Bearish sentiment and cash on the sidelines is great news for those of us in the market.
    2
  4551. That sort of mindlessness is why you are penniless.
    2
  4552. $0.5M starting price. I'll take 2.
    2
  4553. Not a shame at all, it's high time, not like misleading and fear mongering is new to Covid.
    2
  4554. Yeah those will never ever exist again, no one will leave their homes for fun ever again.
    2
  4555. It's healthy to have more retailers involved but I fear many are gambling and will be blown out so hard they will never come back.
    2
  4556. AMZN has been good to Me.
    2
  4557. TSLA is vastly my biggest holding and gained enough to build a nice new house but it won't be the first to $2T.
    2
  4558. @Fahad M I'm giving you that--let's call it a validated conspiracy, not all conspiracies are false. (I forget which "agenda numbers" are which) NOPE, you are flat WRONG about Tesla, it's the other way around, I should know you should listen on this point. Tesla marketed the first ever compelling EV in 2008 and have executed a simple plan to bring prices down dramatically and EVs to the masses. Governments could not have mandated what was not even conceived as possible prior to the revolutionary advancements made completely from capitalism. You might note that EVs have been subsidized, true but not even close to the trillions in petroleum subsidies so those only partially level the field sloped against EVs.
    2
  4559. @Fahad M I made a small fortune on TSLA, bet you didn't. It's about economics, innovation and free enterprise. Those mandates are postmortem, meaningless. You are clearly ignorant of these facts.
    2
  4560. @Fahad M I obviously don't trip and fall over every conspiracy hypothesis that I stumble into that happens to fit my preconceived notions.
    2
  4561.  @tuabenjamin  Indeed, part of that is also the sound bite time frames allotted to anyone.
    2
  4562. You must have more money than you know what to do with given such a surefire method! Right? More likely your penniless without a useful purpose in life.
    2
  4563. Even to the extent it is EVs it's not remotely in same league as any legacy auto.
    2
  4564. "'Tesla has nothing that Toyota can't do.'" THAT sort of thing is clueless, Q projections is trivial in comparison.
    2
  4565.  @michae1601  Then you haven't paid attention. Tune into Master Plan 3 if it's not too much work to try and understand. It will be smaller but much more to it than that, batts will be less expensive and production process far less expensive. Familiar with Wrights Law? Why would you expect current costs to continue into the future, it has never worked that way.
    2
  4566. NO. It'll have good range, 100 miles is crap or just a city car. They laid it all out in Master Plan 3, how they'll dramatically cut production costs.
    2
  4567. Why don't you watch and pay attention, obviously you didn't.
    2
  4568. "My grandmother thinks your hot" words I hope I don't hear anytime soon.
    2
  4569. How do you know?
    2
  4570. He did his job which was to highlight these brothers are idiots.
    2
  4571. You'll think twice if I catch you stealing from me. Why not focus on bettering yourself instead of feeling sorry for yourself.
    2
  4572. It's either long term or gambling and gambling hasn't worked well for big funds in yrs....let alone for retailers.
    2
  4573. What SPECIFICALLY are you referring to? All he's done is reveal inconvenient truths. You can't handle the TRUTH??
    2
  4574. You don't STILL fall for the childish "HE's a fraud!" BS, do you?
    2
  4575. TSLA hanging in there but of course likely would have rallied if not for macro environment. Essentially zero debt now so minimal direct interest rate exposure.
    2
  4576. Sounds good but everyone will starve to death at the rate we are going, this is incredibly unsustainable and harmful to everyone, even future generations will be paying for this panic attack. Compare Sweden to Norway.
    2
  4577. May get there but I expect closer to $20 a yr from now, it's only a trade. Get out while it's hot no way it can stay this high for long.
    2
  4578. Of course they said it about Tesla, failure is the norm here, there will be no 2nd Tesla and these fools thinking "they missed TSLA" continue to miss it bc they have no idea what they are doing. T is only getting started while the rest are a crap shoot. (with exception of few Chinese names maybe)
    2
  4579. Spot on in my case but a yr ago.
    2
  4580. Except for "Orange Man bad", anyone but Trump and electioneering.
    2
  4581. I did decent in BA for yrs and sold entirely immediately after 2nd Maxx crash, rolled it into TSLA starting around $12 then quadrupled down mid 2019. Barely paid attention to BA ever since. Not going to be involved in a Co. and culture I don't believe in.
    2
  4582.  @101ado  Interesting aside:::newer Lathrop, CA, Tesla Megapack mfg is scaling far faster than any auto assembly line, based on machinery ordered and insiders, it's going become big money printer faster than most anyone has considered. Completely off the radar on Wall St. as the energy side of Tesla has been trivial to date, not so for much longer and such plants will be built globally. Likely 50% margins plus energy arbitrage and other revenues associated with 'em. Should begin to show up on next earnings call and poised to exceed Tesla vehicle revenues in a matter of yrs. I still have questions on raw materials and batt production capacity to accomplish it but fixed storage is flexible on batt chemistries, energy density, mass and so on. Ideal for LFPs or even non-lithium options.
    2
  4583. Term "wasted" is problematic here, engineers don't determine the laws of nature they work within them as efficiently as possible. 50% lost turning NatGas to electric is extremely efficient, near as good as thermodynamics will allow with current materials and so on, your ICE car is about half that good. 10% lost in transmission from generation to consumer is also quite good. Where feasible it's very good to utilize the 'waste heat' as is done in many cases, not something you can change overnight nor can you transfer heat long distance like electricity. Power generation must happen where the otherwise waste heat is used, want a power plant in your neighborhood? I didn't think so.
    2
  4584. He has reason to be ashamed for sure but I still gain a little insight listening to the legacy angle.
    2
  4585. Backwards. It's the newly available EVs that are driving the regulations and incentives , sure it's also climate panic from the ppl but they wouldn't be mandating $100k plus EVs of a decade ago.
    2
  4586.  @strange-universe  Your emotional state that rules your irrational opinions and life is unstainable. How long do you suppose we can rely on fossil fuels?
    2
  4587.  @TheAnnoyingBoss  May as well compare water to coal. Fossils are consumed, ONE USE, metals are endlessly recycled, 70% of the aluminum ever mined is still in use today.
    2
  4588. It's inevitable and beneficial to all.
    2
  4589.  @davidjonburke2729  Often yes, not always. YT is another example of Google being evil with censorship too, can't even watch a gardening channel without self censorship mentioned to avoid being demonetized or worse. It's out of control, we need competing platforms more than ever but those are difficult to get going.
    2
  4590. Where was the "hate"? I looked for it but entirely missed it.
    2
  4591. Know what you own and why and stay with it as long as the story remains intact, think YEARS not months. Imagine how much FUD we've experience in just last 10 yrs--yet AMZN is up some 30X.
    2
  4592.  @1flash3571  I think so, as hard as that mentality is for me to fathom. Unfortunately it's exactly that attitude that will prevent those ppl from advancing their own lives. I've never much envied the wealthy, certainly not in a toxic fashion, much more admired them for the achievement. (trust fund kids don't count, I actually pity most of them) By now I'm financially independent myself the hard way and champion others to achieve the same.
    2
  4593. I don't think it's going to happen but it's a concerning signal to what we should have already understood--there's a big segment of American's so self loathing they are willing to embrace Marxism, aka., universal poverty just to take down their betters.
    2
  4594.  @swphilosophy3040  You might be. He contributed my getting out before the latest crash, bought in lower. Been right about a host of massive gainers.
    2
  4595. BO has to demonstrate orbital reusable capability, for ME to be interested, they have come no where close so far. SpaceX I'd love to own now but by the time it IPOs or spins off Starlink, a lot's going to be priced in.
    2
  4596. Right, but that could translate to Tesla production disruption too.
    2
  4597. @Hoorna On what basis? PEG of 0.4? In terms of price to profit per share it's around where it was mid 2019. Many ways to look at it and no single metric can capture everything that matters, but it's plenty cheap to ME right now.
    2
  4598. Tesla has raised prices some 20 to 30% in last 18 months, way beyond input cost increases, it's near unlimited demand and 6 to 12 month order backlog that makes increases possible and prudent. Exceptional profits are going to increase further.
    2
  4599. Money represents reality, real limitations to what can be done, only Greta Thunberg in la la land doesn't understand that. Eventually petrol will not be needed, it's about the easiest fundamental input to replace, many potentially economic methods to create it especially in the relatively (compared to what we burn) small quantities required for chems, plastics, rubber, etc.
    2
  4600. Yup and the joke is on YOU and the other children who think they know it all without knowing anything.
    2
  4601.  @newtiger007  NO ONE can time the market. Best just to be involved and ignore this sort of noise. Tune into Peter Lynch for more along those lines.
    2
  4602. NO ONE successfully times the market, forget about that noise.
    2
  4603. Much will be flushed down the toilet by the government, the rest will be reinvested somewhere.
    2
  4604. As long as you are willing to accept a 2nd Great Depression and 30% unemployment.
    2
  4605. How would YOU know?
    2
  4606. Something very disturbing about losers making such comments.
    2
  4607. NOT for most folks.
    2
  4608. If Elon is your example then rich getting richer is a fantastic boon to all of us and the planet. One persons gain is NOT another's loss, exactly the opposite.
    2
  4609. You are clueless, Li isn't remotely the limiting ingredient and it's not even the main ingredient in Li batts, it's just a misleading label. Ni is a vastly bigger problem.
    2
  4610.  @fjsfi3jr983  Get a purpose, escape your perpetual poverty and self loathing and maybe you'll even get laid once in a while Sport.
    2
  4611. Shortage of MEN willing to make a modest fortune in the trades must contribute to high home prices.
    2
  4612. Don't be a childish gambler and instead invest and none of The St. shenanigans matter. Investing works for everyone who does it well where as gambling is a losers game.
    2
  4613. Talk about lessons children involved seem to need to learn.
    2
  4614.  @robertanderson5303  Trading is gambling and MOST retailers who do it LOSE---simple fact, they just don't brag about it. Leave that to the pros. Investing takes a lot of up front time, studying fundamentals, but then you can do more interesting things like LIVE your life instead of staring at charts. I'll never repeat this but I've gone from $145k to $1.4M in less than two yrs with less than a dozen transactions per yr...it took a decade to be set up for that scenario so it wasn't as easy as it sounds.
    2
  4615. Most boomers are mature enough to INVEST instead of clueless childish gambling, investing is profitable over time while gambling is a losers game.
    2
  4616. Further--this "damaging his brand" is a narrow perspective, for the 'other half' Elon has greatly increased his brand. These establishment types can see outside their own bubble.
    2
  4617. Chill out y'all. I feel FINE.
    2
  4618.  @jfausset  Profit comes in many forms including taking care of your employees, quality of life and your neighborhood and so on. It's a component of the poverty mentality (as I define it) to assume that those who are affluent only care about dollars, pretty simplistic and counterproductive.
    2
  4619. Also this is about salaried employees only, he said they'll continue to add hourly workers. It's also not new, 9% cuts in 2018, 7% in 2019, only previously it wasn't only salaried.
    2
  4620. Good reason to replace workers with robots. Unions create a toxic work environment.
    2
  4621. Mostly just recreational use, they are good fun.
    2
  4622. NatGas powered then "amazing batts and 400% efficient H powered" but ultimately its downhill powered.
    2
  4623.  @SuperCowboys16  It's THE Brand in China and the USA already. No one really want's that $5k golf cart with windows, it's just affordable--until you get in a crash.
    2
  4624. There was NO condescension, you must be one of the cult members who things asking questions about your God Tesla is blasphemy.
    2
  4625.  @titus310always3  I prefer the moniker Kim Jong Newsom as a NorCali lifer.
    2
  4626. Nice to hear. Have you experience other high end EVs?
    2
  4627. I want a compliant BOD, I'm betting on Elon 1st, Tesla 2nd.
    2
  4628.  @teslaowner9020  Although the Mach-E is a very good effort by Ford, it's questionable if they can produce many or make a profit on them. Some folks prefer the better ride and quieter EVs from legacies. Tesla needs to work on some of these deficiencies and I think they will.
    2
  4629. Or a more intelligent audience.
    2
  4630. I hope we all have achieved virus fatigue and authoritarian mandate outrage at this point. lol.
    2
  4631. Glass prisms don't work like that, the light is bent opposite direction. ;-)
    2
  4632. Buy USED, I'm fairly well off and never in my life bought a bran new car. (exception for 1-ton service truck chassis)
    2
  4633.  @Bonescratcher  So what if Dalio is correct, likely he is not as normally these prognostications are wrong but let's say he is. What does that change? Are you going to sit on a pile of evaporating cash? I will continue to be invested in great companies that will thrive regardless, and that choice is regardless of what may come. If we get hit by a KT scale asteroid impact (or total economic devastation) it won't matter either way. By the time those companies go to zero money will only be useful as cash for kindling to bake the rats you catch to survive. Back in the depths of the Cold War, daily worries of thermal nuclear Armageddon was the normal state of life, if you failed to keep investing in your future for that you were an idiot and a loser.
    2
  4634.  @Burgermonster  What I WISH FOR?? WTH?
    2
  4635. So you missed it? Too bad but there's a lot more upside.
    2
  4636.  @christophermccrea7133  TSLA is a bargain, not knocked down as far as many but it's not directly effected by interest rates, highly profitable and recession resistant. Easily double or triple a yr or two out.
    2
  4637.  @muzehack  That would probably be around 50 bucks. :D
    2
  4638. The demand "problem" is somewhat speculative but also due to short term factors like the $7.5k government funded discount for BEVs starting next month in the US. These Establishment pundits have a hard time seeing that their grievances with Musk Tweets are not necessarily shared by broader America--so called "tarnishing the Tesla brand" is actually burnishing the brand for half the population.
    2
  4639. And you have more money than you know what to do with, right?
    2
  4640. Hahaha. That's a good one.
    2
  4641. SO far so GOOD on TSLA, but Don't Trade it Just Own it.
    2
  4642. Don't trade it just OWN IT. 😉
    2
  4643. Unhuh--an investment thesis if I ever heard it.
    2
  4644. China offers some very good well priced alternatives as long as safety and performance are less important than price for you. I won't suffer front wheel drive for example but you might.

  4645. And what mean tweets anyway? IDK of any. For every sniveling noisy AOC threatening to downgrade from her Tesla to a "union mafia made EV" there's probably ten normal quiet rational individuals who are thinking of a Tesla for the first time bc Elon is threatening the media monopoly of the evil Establishment Machine.

  4648.  @SaviorUnkind  And how long have you been saying that from the sidelines hoping it comes true? I've heard that sort of thing daily for decades but the only one who raised hell at the right time was Jim Cramer warning of the 2008/9 implosion in 2007. OH...and early list yr he repeatedly warned that The St. wasn't taking covid seriously enough. So I profited a little off that but it's too damn hard to know when to get back in. Far better not to try to time it but just KNOW what you own and exactly why and ride it out, don't let emotions dictate your actions. Those that got hurt in the 2009 did so bc they got out wrong but mainly bc they didn't get back in. Had they simply ignored it all they'd have done very well.

  4659.  @onespeedlite  1%? That was several yrs ago, 10% globally this yr. and the linear projections continue to be laughably low, it's not an Ebook phenomena but more akin to cell phones which were, in early '90's, projected to reach low double digit penetration by 2000 but instead were nearly universal by then. It's not linear it's an S-curve, currently growing at some 35% increase yr over yr. That means 14% next yr, 19% in 2025, 25% in 2026, 46% in 2028, 63% in '29...close enough to 80% by 2030, then tailing off as it approaches 100%. It won't precisely follow that trajectory but something like that. In just a few yrs we'll have purchase price parity with obsolete ICE and, economically, utilitarian based purchases (vast majority), ICE will make NO sense at all.

  4670.  @schmidtcjoseph  You know more about it than I then, in terms of experience, haven't even seen one in person. Hybrids are not the answer going forward, they were a good intermediate but batt tech has resulted in cheap enough batt packs that range CAN be plenty in an affordable car (300 miles say). We have Teslas everywhere in Cali and most everyone who owns one loves it and will never go back to ICE. F and all the legacy auto mfgs are playing catchup with only limited success to date. Many will not survive the decade or will be drastically downsized, merged or bailed out which I adamantly apposed to.

  4679.  @duhbigcat1848  Insights? Absolutely! There is NO next Tesla and never will be, if you want that buy TSLA. Simple and obvious. It's just getting started. Anyone thinking there is a duplicate is a dupe. Scoff now if you like but check back in 5 or 10 yrs, you'll see...like Amazon or Google but far harder to match and bigger, 6 to $10T by mid to end of decade minimum. You may not like the idea, I too roll my eyes at idolatry, but Elon Musk is once in a century executer of bleeding edge tech. Just a fact. Look at SpaceX or Tesla tech, it ALL blows the rest out of the water. ALL the best young engineers and coders want to work for those two companies, a statistical FACT. They have already achieved that which "experts" said was impossible.

(How many yrs have you lived in China? Have you seen even half the USA, have you been there at all?? What do you really know except propaganda you choose to indulge in.) And THEN--had to run for their lives literally bc although they were heavily self-censored they were honest. Open public honesty is not allowed there, if YOU are OKAY with that I have nothing left to say. A wise person doesn't need to learn everything firsthand. I haven't seen the entire Great Wall but I accept that it exists, sufficient evidence for it even at a distance.

  4687.  @tonymontana1965  That's exactly what lifted China out of starvation so it was indeed good for everyone. The notion that one persons gain is another's loss is one of the most toxic popular myths, poverty breeds more of the same and visa versa. Not so long ago China was synonymous with mass starvation, now 'only' a few hundred million are living off say $1.5/day. "Cutting down the tall flowers" will not help anyone, but a justice system (nonexistent there) and environmental regulations would sure help.
    2
  4688.  @thegreatoneforever5587  "From each is ability, to each his need." It's the definition of hell on Earth where the highest attributes are punished and sloth is rewarded. China rose from constant mass starvation, once synonymous with China, to mostly reasonable prosperity by unshackling the individual, at least to a degree. Economic freedom is every bit as important as any other human right, meritocracy is not optional.

I'll give you something to laugh about now, as unrewarding as that is, and CRY about later. Expect another 10X in the next several yrs but at least before 2030 and it will still be in it's infancy, still a buy for the long term. If wrong and it only 4 to 5X say? I'm still a multi millionaire assuming some disaster doesn't force me to sell sooner.

  4723. ​ @SmashKing17  Tanking?? Did you "discover" TSLA a few months ago and not bother to look at it's history? A few months means NOTHING. Price targets range from sub-$100 to $6000. A target is typically 1 yr forward sometimes a lot longer and it's one person or institution's opinion, there are no guarantees of anything. Are you 12?

  4724. Last 2 yrs isn't the topic, it's the last few months.

  4743. Sure YOU are smarter than the market. One thing for certain--the more folks saying that the less likely it is to be true.
    2
  4744. Yes except check back at least monthly to verify your key thesis are intact. (unless you are only in index funds then u can buy and forget)
    2
  4745. By their numbers as I understand: 68(0.33) + 68 = 90.4, meaning down 9.6% YTD. S&P down about 6.3%. So IDK but you don't get back to even by going down X% and back up X%
    2
  4746.  @server1ok  Here's why I call BS on the notion that batt cars are not greener than ICE counterparts. Unless there are gross distortions in commodity prices (certainly petrol is subsidize more than anything else which only adds to my case, but let's assume zero net diff between subsidies for all things ICE vs all things EV, close enough for this) THEN enduser economics tells the story. You don't even need to run the numbers directly on energy inputs to build and run the cars. Say a $25k Honda is equivalent to a $35k Model 3 in all ways other than power train. In that case, depending on local petrol prices vs electric prices--one can expect to recoup the $10k purchase price difference in VERY roughly 5 yr.s if they do 15k miles per yr. That means the EV can't possibly be more energy intensive over the 1st 5 yr.s and after that it's becomes some 4X LESS energy intensive for every mile after. And that's assuming the grid is powered entirely by petrol equivalent which it almost never is, even NatGas grid power is some 30% less CO2 then petrol. In California the grid is half renewable which means the break even comparison between ICE and EV goes to 2.5 yr.s. (these are all back of envelope 'calculations')
    2
  4747.  @server1ok  You can see in these threads, anecdotally, that ppl are concerned about delays in getting their cars they aren't thinking about cancelling. Naturally there are dreamers who would like to be able to afford one but can't anytime soon and they will likely be further from it now but those who have means and have ordered one are still anxious to get them. The only models that Tesla is not production constrained are the diminuous, dated and expensive S and X which are of course being cannibalized by the much more advanced, efficient and cost effective 3 and Y versions. As for the trucks--they are still a ways off, but at least the pickup looks to be vastly over demanded vs production potential. You may not understand or appreciate the enthusiasm of the customers but it's real and persistent. I don't want one myself but I understand why so many do.
    2
  4748.  @server1ok  I don't have any such confidence for firm predictions like exactly how and when recovery occurs, that's simply too hard even for the pros to guess. Tesla sales won't likely be effected at ALL (with the glaring exception of reduced production due to shutdown) because they don't cater to hand to mouth folks and they have far greater demand than production as far as the eye can see even if orders get cut in half.
    2
  4749. Don't bail 'em out.

    2
  4755. Including Tesla which has made some of us fat gains, those of us who followed it long and closely enough to have well founded conviction so we didn't get fazed by down months. Same complaint was made about AMZN, NFLX, and many others while some of us made fortunes on them for a decade or more. If you don't know what you own you get blown out at the worst possible time--human nature. Earning ain't everything.
    2
  4756. Tesla is cutting less than 5k salaried workers only , they continue to add hourly workers. Ford cut 20k jobs in last 5 yrs when Tesla added 60k. This is nothing new, 9% cut in 2018 for Tesla, just trimming out the deadwood on occasion to stay lean and efficient.

  4766.  @far-from-home  No need to GIVE Elon anything other than a fair chance (not that u meant it that way, just to be clear), just don't confiscate what he has created from scratch , wealth has to be MADE by someone before it can be taxed, extorted, stolen.... There's a reason we talk about gainful employment as "Making Money", that's precisely what it is. Some are just vastly better at it than others and should be allowed to exist as such. Elon's gain is MY GAIN by default.
    2
  4767.  @stant7122  What does "percentage of wealth" have to do with anything? Your assumption that one persons gain is another's loss is what's wrong with this country. You could tax all the billionaires to oblivion and it would barely dent the debt but it WOULD satisfy the mindless Warren crowd--it would put an end to Elon's of the future and progress in general, we'd all be happily driving ICE cars indefinitely and embrace universal mediocrity.
    2
  4768.  @raphaelszok8561  PLUS being on the taxpayer dole and not paying significant taxes herself. The irony and hypocrisy is beyond words , especially her lies about Elon on her FB page while asking for $10 per person. I'm not a hateful person but make an exception for the likes of Senator Karen.

  4782.  @danielmarquis434  I know Tesla's numbers, close to 30% currently, generally expect most mfgs to have high single digit margins, Porsche not included as a small player at around 20% or other boutique brands like Ferrari. But I can't rattle off all the compare stats.

  4783. Those who call a lower price per share "cheaper" deserve to get schooled.

  4784.  @brooklynsown8217  I wanted to buy several Bitcoin in $400 to 800 range but didn't have a handy way immediately available, didn't get to it. Would have sold half of them as soon as they doubled anyway as I had no confidence in them just as I still don't.
    2
  4785.  @feicai2332  Good to hear, success is one of those contagions often under reported. :D
    2
  4786.  @robertboryk791  OK...that's very recent. USA was a petrol exporter for about half the 20th century. Remember Japan was cut off from TX oil before the war which fueled their desire to attack us.
    2
  4787. We ALL should have been raising hell about the reckless spending, moronic shutdowns and mandates in recent yrs that inevitably led to this.
    2
  4788.  @sarvagyasharma  I agree except there is nothing reckless about it. Whether it's accurate or not remains to be seen but different points of view are always welcome by me.
    2
  4789.  @laxguy777g7  It's only pointless penniless punks making the reckless comments here, they have nothing at stake nor even a plan to build wealth.

  4790. He's talking about effects on MARKETS, pay attention child.

  4791. Unless you are involved in markets.

  4792. Taiwan should retake mainland China.
    2
  4793. Much or most selling is necessary selling for options. As for the rest--they aren't better at timing than anyone else. This is interesting but just noise for the market.
    2
  4794.  @danielhutchinson6604  Railroads ARE competitive today, may not be by end of decade, we'll see. Like anyone else, Buffet misses out on a lot, "he doesn't understand tech so he doesn't invest in it", missed most of Apples run, messed up with Intel, missed completely on AMZN, TSLA, etc. The problem can be that what you don't understand can max biz X,Y, and Z obsolete. Frankly I wouldn't own BRK this decade, half his holdings are ripe for disruption as is the S&P itself. BRK has badly lagged for 5 yrs.
    2
  4795.  @grnmtnman8685  If it's costing the employer money and making the working environment better that's sure as hell important and a form of "pay". No it doesn't replace income but it matters. Just as many drivers don't want to be away from home for days via long hauls and so on. Many Co.s provide all sorts of benefits from gyms, medical coverage to cafeterias to you name it and that's part of the draw for employees obviously.
    2
  4796.  @Virakouch99  He always struck me as a childish producer of a children's channel....so I skipped him and wouldn't even know. ;-) Did I miss anything worthwhile?
    2
  4797. That's why you are wealthy, right?
    2
  4798. He never left Tesla or SpaceX and when he has the worst of the fires at Twitter under control he'll hand it off to a new CEO. Sooner the better IMO but his teams at other co.s are plenty capable of independent execution and obviously thriving.
    2
  4799. EVERYONE get's burnt by toxic socialism. Let's quit this class division nonsense and instead focus on creating our own wealth, anyone can become rich in America today and it's easier than ever especially for the 'working class'
    2
  4800. @seokhee Han Quit IT! hahaha
    2
  4801. Lying about what?
    2
  4802. Anyone disappointed didn't pay attention. A product unveil would be stupid, first it would Osborn 3 and Y, 2nd it wasn't a product day it was investor day.
    2
  4803. I wouldn't touch the 3. It stops as poorly as a FORD F-150 pickup truck?? Seriously? Some things are deal breakers and that's one of them. Must be 95% FanGirls viewing this, nothing here that wasn't already clear.
    2
  4804. Really? Must be an emotional fangirl. Pretty straight up reality in the vid.
    2
  4805.  @fatisdead7150  That's over the top. I don't know what his sexual tendencies are because it DOESN'T MATTER, it's irrelevant to any considerations I have. Every company and CEO need to be scrutinized but your a damn fool if you-- for example....shun AAPL because the CEO happens to be gay. Elon misses his multi-year time frames no doubt but he has accomplished astounding things even if behind his ridiculously ambitious 'scheduled'. Sounds like you have emotional issues concerning Elon instead of good reasons.
    2
  4806.  @ProjektUnity  If you are young and seriously committed to long term investing you might be ahead of me. :D TSLA has at least a decade or two to run like the wind.
    2
  4807.  @neeljavia2965  Another way to look at it--TSLA is approximately the same price to revenue as it was in 2014, granted you could say it was overvalued then too and it went nowhere for 5 yrs but it was also on the verge of insolvency the entire time. That risk has passed and the execution has been phenomenal, once in a generation opportunity. You can keep saying it's "overvalued" as it continues to dramatically rise but at some point you have to simply admit you were WRONG. AMZN broke ground in this area focusing on long term and growth making MANY folks wealthy. TSLA will surpass all the other big caps IMO, within 5 yrs, even as AAPL, GOOGL, AMZN, MSFT continue to grow substantially.
    2
  4808.  @neeljavia2965  5 yrs it will be 5 to 10X higher most likely. Most have NO IDEA how much potential they have from software and autonomous, and probably energy eventually. Wall St. still doesn't get it with a few exceptions, but they will.
    2
  4809.  @neeljavia2965  Profit is irrelevant for a high growth company, many good stocks have infinite PE. Growth, future prospects and free cash flow matter. Zoom and many other tech companies have MUCH higher price to revenue. This is why you missed out making a fortune on AMZN. Smart investors want low to zero profits when the growth opportunities are spectacular as they are for TSLA.
    2
  4810. Always calmly lays out a compelling case. (but I'm highly biased going on half decade in TSLA)
    2
  4811.  @toddleichtfuss  HA! Well Now You Know. :D
    2
  4812. Sounds classic Brooklyn accent to me.
    2
  4813.  @pattiekim9615  Right. And while I definitely do not want him working for me for free, as he has been for sometime now, he's focused on avoiding some nefarious institutional investor take over down the pike, not at all out of the question or unreasonable. (Blackrock, a gaggle of billionaires or group of big funds, say) I want Elon to be incentivized, highly rewarded and 'locked in' for as long as possible. Not too concerned about the price, just make him content and tie performance to rewards just as before, that's the way he likes it and the rest of us should too. Never was a more just and proper comp pkg in the brief history of capitalism, than his previous pkgs.
    2
  4814. However--I'm not thrilled with paying Establishment Media Mafia protection racket like everyone else does.
    2
  4815. Any worn out Tesla will drop a Jeep like a hot rock. 😄
    2
  4816. 4:40 Yeah "idiot Tesla" followed by idiot tailgater w zero common sense.
    2
  4817. Where did he get really? Would you want to be like him?? (rhetorical) Integrity makes ppl wealthy in a Meritocracy, but sometimes subversions or family/friendly/invested ties put wrong person in power. LOOK where that got them! Why free markets tend to work, we have no direct say when government is running things. WE have the power if we choose to use it, not always easy.
    2
  4818. Out of touch with Dis, loved them as a child tho. Jungle Book still good fun.

  4819.  @jimmychanbers2424  Sure, so is my bicycle.

  4820. The right side suspension of that car must have been heavily modified.

  4824. Maybe they associate certain boats (fishing) with destruction of their food supply.
    2
  4825.  @normaforsyth7950  True, just expressing lack of sympathy.
    2
  4826. Yeah the punk would have done major damage either that day or another. And for a homely girl !
    2
  4827. Thanks but we're doing fine, this rain is exactly what we need here, popular media finds the one place where flooding is a problem and replays it from a dozen angles.
    2
  4828.  @dalenedaylean3555  Everything binary to you? I was happy to see Mr. T. exit but Biden is openly corrupt, they don't even try to hide that they are owned by the unions and other toxic establishment entities.
    2
  4829. Situation normal.
    2
  4830. Why don't we stay shut down and sacrifice everyone to starvation?
    2
  4831. Many have already been slaughtered and thrown away. Get ready for self inflicted famine, I am.
    2
  4832. Pay workers more to NOT work than work, that's what happened.

  4833. Less public babysitting can only be better for kids education.

  4834. Rumor has it the 13 yr old learned his lesson and won't do it again.
    2
  4835.  @novadowdell8042  Sorry he and many others were needlessly panicked. But it had a good side effect, most of the University students left too and that dramatically reduced congestion at a critical time.
    2
  4836. I live in Chico also, there was not the slightest reason to evacuate, foothills and valley are two entirely different situations.
    2
  4837. Excellent short summary, I'm pleasantly surprised. Hat's off from your next door neighbors in Chico, we are with you on this for what little it's worth.
    2
  4838.  @Rainlady11  Brush first then structures. The whole reason folks love to live there is for the beautiful trees
    2
  4839. It's a "crime" we allow brush to build up for decades such that this was INEVITABLE, yes you could call it that. We have known this would happen one day and we know how and why. It's not productive to entertain childish conspiracy fantasies, we have REAL problems a century in the making in need of Real SOLUTIONS. Thanks but you can assist more by returning to your video games.
    2
  4840.  @PolarisBaBA  I have ash all over my yard from this fire Child. We knew for half a century that this would happen one day, we know how and why and none of it fit's your childish fantasy story line. We have REAL problems with REAL potential SOLUTIONS we don't need racket from know-nothing-children who have never even been in the wild lands. These are my friends and neighbors getting burned out, it's not a video game. It's not a joke for you to trifle with.
    2
  4841. A hollow burned out brick shell doesn't get it either. But yeah most of the structures could have survived (based on what I have seen) if they had fire resistance as a top priority, steel roofs, windows and vents shuttered, flame resistant exteriors, etc. Some who stayed saved their places with minimal equipment. Simply cleaning out the gutters and a few things would have saved some perhaps.
    2
  4842. We are a Banana Republic.
    2
  4843. Remember the guys in high school who taught us all lessons by getting killed? This is unfortunately the way some learn.
    2
  4844. Cringy as it is--might be good policy to SHOW the broken smashed bodies at the scene, THAT sinks in. Seen a few dead on the road, a bit like a war scene you won't forget.
    2
  4845. Yeah there is no "billionaire space race" it's long been won. Bezos and Virgin....uhmm...nice effort but...hahaha
    2
  4846. Are you totally clueless?? Ever heard of the Tesla Mission Statement circa. about 2006?
    2
  4847. It's tad out of public view, they want sympathy from fools.
    2
  4848. NO sympathy for attention hounds. Any respectable person would go off in the wilderness so the rest of us don't have to suffer their sheet. Doing it in public is pathetic.
    2
  4849. You want the government to force money out of you then inefficiently select solar options for you and force you to have it installed--why not cut out the middle man and just install solar on your own home?
    2
  4850. Good, we don't need him here and this is situation normal except these fires have been tiny so far.
    2
  4851. You really think ALL democrats want to DIE?? Your the stupid one.
    2
  4852. SHARP looking lovers in sunburn.
    2
  4853. The transition is in progress and this should marginally accelerate it. Economics favor renewables now but it takes time to switch, by decade end it will look much different with virtually all new cars being electric and solar/wind/batteries taking over the grid.
    2
  4854. A lot less than a week ago. ;-)
    2
  4855. Or a drunk driver fled, we just don't know yet even if AP was active.
    2
  4856. Tesla's are the safest on the road, dramatically so when using AP and it's not possible to be on AP or FSD without a driver in the DRIVERS seat interacting with the steering wheel. This is not a Tesla story it's a reckless driver story. Either they fooled the car or the driver left the scene.
    2
  4857. Tesla should have all the data, we don't know yet if AP was even active.
    2
  4858.  @pastorhaze9509  More info: The road was more like a long driveway without lane lines, AP cannot be activated on such a road, further the data logs confirm that AP was not in use.
    2
  4859.  @2TMarie  They have to fool the steering wheel into 'feeling' a hand on it.
    2
  4860.  @bradjeffords4451  Fail to have hand on wheel for more than about 1/2 min., or say remove seatbelt--and the car will flash red at you while making annoying noises and slow down gradually, stop with flashers on.
    2
  4861. So do Teslas, AND your hand on the wheel. So they either hacked the car or AP wasn't active, maybe intoxicated driver fled the scene.

  4864. Highest ESG score on Earth is telling, just hinted at here concerning insane ban on fertilizers.
    2
  4865.  @blakejohnson3864  A real-life example: In my hood we all have similar sized modest lots, 1/2 to 1 acre, all my neighbors turned theirs into typical yards with 'useless' lawns, ornamental landscape and parking lots. I instead choose to grow tons of all sorts of nuts, fruits and such. Under communism I'd be punished for my efforts and have all my produce confiscated so naturally I'd destroy my productive potential like anyone else. I'd refuse to be a slave to the sloth around me. Under strong socialism I'd have half or more of my efforts stolen by the state to redistribute in a very inefficient fashion and again I'd probably quit producing as a matter of human nature and principle, certainly I'd produce far less. Either way there'd be LESS fruits of my labors to go around, we'd all be less prosperous but MORE EQUAL. That said there are some changes needed in current corporate culture, incentive structure and so on.
    2
  4866.  @1sdrummer2  Often I get presumptuous based on other posts in these threads...so yeah my expectations are low. Great to be wrong sometimes.
    2
  4867.  @1sdrummer2  Well darnit I bet half the thumbs up took it literally. :D Ya think?
    2
  4868. Likely time to invoke the "sunk cost fallacy" that governments are incapable of. Imagine how much power we'd be creating w that investment in indirect fusion. Still I favor advancing the tech for eventual space travel, etc.
    2
  4869. Now try to entirely describe bicycle stability mechanics, surprisingly complex but entirely optimized empirically long before it was well understood.
    2
  4870. Try Timcast here on YT, new to me and very impressive.
    2
  4871. More of the same, IDK why they'd think they can't get away with it at this point.
    2
  4872. And you won't be missing anything as they are a dying Co. anyway.
    2
  4873. And it turns out the two are connected as that was one of endless topics you couldn't have THAT opinion on.
    2
  4874. ONE week in, just getting started and moving quite rapidly and effectively.

  4876. Almost anyone outside the Beltway is better than anyone within.
    2
  4877. I bet you won't notice if they do.
    2
  4878.  @ianashton1593  Rich don't decide and elected pols serve their constituencies before anything else. So the problem is propaganda and indoctrination, especially among youth. It's not uncommon for 20 somethings to be convinced that the future is bleak and it's OUR fault.
    2
  4879. So you like me would remember when the farther Left had slogans like: "Question Authority!" Now it's 'blind obedience to authority' or your cancelled, censored and a misogynist, racist....
    2
  4880. Time mag referencing self reporting of agencies? Yeah we believe that.
    2
  4881. Only for R's. It's in their mission statement to give opportunities to those who didn't earn it.
    2
  4882. Don't be simple, you are projecting, unlike modern Progressives Elon is a realist. Short of collapse higher petrol means more EV sales but he's not so childishly self centered to think that's the only thing that matters.
    2
  4883. 😄 Vintage Elon going back decades. It's just that NOW ppl notice. Anyone say'n "not so smart billionaire" can be dismissed without further consideration. MSNBC is a public insane asylum, low hanging fruit but still powerfully influential.
    2
  4884. Often a projection of themselves but definitely narcissistic, attention seeking virtue signaling TOOL of Authoritarians. Likely out grow it and regret.
    2
  4885. Including this he/she/it commentator. "Mass exodus"? I doubt it, good riddance to the snivelers anyway.
    2
  4886. OH....unless you mean the user base turning red, that I expect will be the case relatively speaking.
    2
  4887.  @pacnbeans  Sparkplug covertly installed in car gasoline tank is scarier. What's your point?
    2
  4888. Respectfully, NO offense, you could leave out the middle man, God, and get to the same point more effectively. It's on US all, WE must take responsibility, no one is coming to save us just like getting held up at gun point in the dark.
    2
  4889. Zeus stepped in.

  4890. I'd be squirming like hell in Lemmon's shoes, I am anyway. I can barely stand to watch this it's so cringy.

  4891. His handlers are hoping to get rid of him, even Dems turned on Creepy Joe.
    2
  4892.  @positivepawpaw7564  HAhaha. Good one. Ever heard of Isaac Newton or basic physics? Or ever left the basement and, IDK--tossed a ball or done anything real?? You don't need to "push against" anything in that sense, you only need to throw mass in one direction and the object "throwing" will move in opposite direction. (you can't be serious, lol) An atmosphere only provides drag, resistance to motion, far easier to move in space than the soup of Earth's atmosphere, for a rocket. Aircraft use the air but it's still a big drag as well.
    2
  4893. Yeah it's made of cheese for sure.
    2
  4894. At least 4 investigations started since he took over Twitter, including a criminal one one against Tesla executives for autonomous software which has made the safest cars ever 10X MORE safe.
    2
  4895. He may simply replace FB, Twitter is going to become an "everything app" and will certainly compete with corrupt Google's YouTube and a host of others.
    2
  4896. He will have a video feature on Twitter to compete with corrupt YouTube.
    2
  4897. Exceptionally good commentary Sir. Cowboy hat off from farther N. Commifornia.

  4906.  @robindodd4761  We lost. In part by being too heavy handed, in part we had no biz there. Slaughtering entire population that never attacked us is not a win.
    2
  4907. "Experts" who say he's looking for a way out have NO IDEA what they are talking about.
    2
  4908.  @BulliezInc  Learn who Elon is and you'll begin to understand why it's rational, proper to be a fan. Frankly you are either ignorant or evil not to be. Many of us have followed his activities for a decade or two
    2
  4909. Looks like he needs a lot more walking in the sand, it's a healthy struggle. "Vigorous" (seems to be for him) exercise is NOT optional for humans.

    2
  4911.  @okultusrexus3660  What's YOUR education? Can U do calculus, nonlinear partial differential equations, physics, chemistry, finite element analysis....anything useful at all??
    2
  4912.  @TwinFlames-xo3oi  Exactly. No small part of his biz success comes from lean times and constant cost consciousness.
    2
  4913.  @zapples1126  Here's a life tip Tiger--as long as U project and try to bring down your betters, you will continue to be a loser. Successful ppl always celebrate success of others.
    2
  4914. Sad lineup. The world thought Mr. T. was bad and then ?....good gaud, Biden, bet they welcome Trump back over the rest of choices. I sure will, except for divisiveness. My shameful gov Nesome is quintisential pol, 100% phony.
    2
  4915.  @kermitthehermit9588  What should we call them? Semi-wild lands? Doesn't change an F'ing thing. Humanity has been an integral input on these lands for 10's of thousands of yrs and NOW that we have screwed it up so tragically, too leave them alone guarantees destroying the last of old growth and perpetual disasters. You can quibble about semantics but there is no such thing as a landscape in N. America that's not heavily effected by us, if nothing else just putting out lightening fires, putting out ALL fires.
    2
  4916. Looking at the "reasons" Trump was banned, as stated by Twitter, it's a pathetic twisting of rational.
    2
  4917. Political rallies are always like that...I can't watch but snippets or in this case Vevik Ramasawmy.
    2
  4918.  @Rdwrer  Of half a mind to pay a colleague $50 to register and sign his ballot over to me as unable to convince him to bother. Chatting up others who I expect aren't too inclined or maybe undecided.
    2
  4919.  @SuilongV3  Vaguely remember that. ;-)
    2
  4920.  @thebugkiller9036  I made no claims about existence, why are you so presumptuous? All powerful means all responsible, can't attribute the good in the universe without attributing the bad. Or maybe your God is just weak?
    2
  4921. This kills multiple birds with one go--scaring ppl about income taxes and guns in addition to pretending to be non partisan.
    2
  4922. Nice bod. 😉
    2
  4923.  @paythepiper6283  Hope and think so. In any event, this is the first time in my 45 yrs of voting that the choice is easy. I'd much prefer Vivek Ramaswamy but maybe next time.
    2
  4924. Compost tho. We need MO compost.

  4926.  @stopdeforestation  Where? Somewhere I'm sure, always a record for the week somewhere, certainly not in American West.
    2
  4927. LA Times has been beating the drum: "End of Sierra snow coming soon!" for decades, last time I'm aware of was 2022 right before near record snow in the Sierras.
    2
  4928. We call it "winter" in the Sierras. Should get us to average snowpack to date.
    2
  4929. Barely qualifies for that label, just winter in the Sierras with a little extra wind.
    2
  4930.  @davidcosta2244  Right, everyone knows that. Was referring to "Paul Tibbitts".
    2
  4931. That sort of thing should be saved for the likes of Putin. Not the best thing for a 'democracy' and we'd be stuck with Sarah Palin's intellectual equivalent.

  4934. As NorCali lifer I'd expect over half the state population to be relieved if certain individual was deleted. (at least privately) Prop aganda works. T D S is real. EDS too since X.
    2
  4935. Metaphorically at least.
    2
  4936.  @superdave1263  They get their "science" from drama MNM establishment just as the general population does. NEVER was there a time when popular media had a clue nor gave a shit about science or reality in general.
    2
  4937. The isolation from reality of our leaders (inc. my USA) is astounding. I'm expecting a severe backlash, certainly Biden is toast.
    2
  4938.  @deanhall6045  OK. I didn't mention Aussie.

  4940. Head of snake chopped off immediately....more to come.

  4941. Depends on what you're into but some of us derive a lot of value out of it, Tesla investors in particular, but many similar examples. It punches well above it's weight as nothing is quoted everywhere else like Twitter.
    2
  4942.  @GeekyC  We used to get similar images from Vietnam War, WW2.....pick your decade or millennia. One stuck in my mind was in Time Magazine, Vietcong soldier swashbuckling out of the dense jungle grinning ear to ear holding and American soldiers head in each hand by the hair, crudely hacked off necks trailing internals....around 1969, or the famous pics of Vietnamese children fleeing napalm, some burning....

  4955. Watch them flee the country. North Korea or Cuba maybe??
    2
  4956. Yeah nothing worse than a fat paycheck for doing nothing like these entitled Twits. IDK why Elon was so generous to give them double severance, I guess it's just easier to get rid of the deadwood that way.
    2
  4957.  @davidmeserole6566  A photo surfaced a few days ago, taken after midnight in the SF office HQ, Elon with about 30 tired but enthusiastic software engineers. He's flushing out the lazy and replacing (or retaining) with far fewer real workers. He claims that Tesla with 150 engineers on autonomous driving software is outperforming similar outfits with 3000. That's his style, high quality intense producers.
    2
  4958.  @rockerjim8045  That's the path it was on not anymore. Never a better example of "Go Woke Go Broke".

  4964. He'll absolutely keep his word, always has, success in this project however is never guaranteed. He takes on the toughest challenges and usually succeeds.
    2
  4965. He hasn't changed in at least 3 decades, entirely consistent in purpose and values. That does NOT make him entirely Conservative and no one should force fit themselves into any such box. Conservatives are wrong too enough of the time. He's more LIBERTARIAN.

  4968.  @elizabetha.morris6661  He demonstrated his weak nature which turns off ANYone, most especially a 'lover', she emasculated him by his own permission and reaps just disrespect.
    2
  4969. He was weak caving to her self emasculation demands. Naturally she lost all respect for his lack of masculine dominance and strength.
    2
  4970. He proved to be weak, caving to her insistence of self emasculation, NATURALLY she lost respect for him. So predictable. BE a MAN or suffer the consequences.
    2
  4971. More so his easy compliance, allowing self to be emasculated by her is certain path to her disrespect. He earned it.
    2
  4972. This caries all the weight of the Kardashians, who ever the hey they are.
    2
  4973.  @veganath  IDK anything specific about Dan, my focus is on the likes of our Fearless Leader Kim Jong Newsom, Authoritarian gov of my Commifornia. Recently attempting to legalize the muzzling of doctors who don't follow the script. We have a lot to do and UNDO.
    2
  4974.  @normacunningham8913  Wrist rocket! A staple of my youth. Yes I have most of those too.
    2
  4975. He's been completely emasculated by her long ago. Since he's no longer a man she'll be looking for some side dishes (dick) from real men next. That's the way it goes.
    2
  4976.  @RogueElementMkII  And what side is that exactly? Is "his side" somehow apposed to YOUR SIDE? Honestly don't get it.
    2
  4977.  @jayemark708  Only those with our heads above the Leftist Media Machine fake news narrative. (aka...heads out of our ass)

  4978. Let's throw the bums OUT.
    2
  4979. They lose a little street cred with me talking smack about my Commifornia power situation--despite best efforts to sabotage the system, some things look worse at a distance given media, including this source, hyperbolic drama. I've only experienced one 6 hr blackout in last 2 yrs other than a couple scheduled grid maintenance brief outages. The worst is that we have one of highest electric rates and THE highest petrol prices in the contiguous 48 states. Could be worse, no? ;-)
    2
  4980.  @grannyannie2948  Interesting. Thanks for explanations. There's always plenty of critics on all sides of US military preparedness, and that's a good thing. Criticism is healthy and so is our navy. Gaud knows we spend too much on it.

  4981. Direct coal mining investment? Digging machinery?
    2
  4982.  @karensayer3089  Behind on the path to Neo-Marxism? Hopefully, but we have serious Authoritarian forces to overcome as well. (as this vid demonstrates)
    2
  4983.  @dawnelder9046  That's laughably ignorant. If you are referring to cobalt, which is mostly used in gasoline refining... A) it's not required for Li batteries, it's used in some but not all chemistries, Tesla has eliminated it entirely, and B) not only sourced in Africa. Get an F'n up to date already, SHEESH.
    2
  4984.  @paulgarduno2867  I think the Left lost that notion after the 1970's. I remember when the farther Left had slogans like "Question Authority", still valid and crucial , hippies were anti-establishment to a fault. And properly anti needless war. NOW the Left embraces "authorities" and Authoritarianism as their goddamned God.

  4985. Batteries have nothing to do with it other than maybe a convenient triggering device. This is about plastic explosives.

  4987.  @newshound2521  You're an idiot.
    2
  4988.  @crunchytheclown9694  That's a good question but the FBI has also been preoccupied with nefarious activities, destroying democracy and such, and completely neglected things that matter, including pedophiles, DOXing, Swatting, warnings of pending mass shootings, Hunter's incriminating laptop, etc., for yrs. (they didn't ignore the laptop they orchestrated the cover up) Not sure about other agencies. I'd assume any potentially useful info is passed to any authorities along with there removal from the platform. It may be that most are not traceable to real ppl? IDK.
    2
  4989. Same. Mr. T. is cringy as hell but results matter most. IDK why we can't have someone of Rand Paul's quality.
    2
  4990.  @hartfordsignpost589  Without noticing the difference.
    2
  4991.  @Lynnette4  I believe there will be significant accountability, that THIS time will be different. T was way too soft last time, today he has a hardcore anti-Establishment team. But we'll see, tough fight ahead.
    2
  4992.  @marcussmith1885  I could carry on but if U had the attention span for it--you'd already know how much of a shameful Banana Republic the USA has become.
    2
  4993.  @marcussmith1885  Last time he was infiltrated with insidious Establishment forces thwarting him, and the economy still relatively thrived due to tax cuts, and especially regulation reduction. THIS time he's a lot smarter and has a stellar team around him, a clear mandate. Still a tough fight against The Machine, so we'll see, but should be a real improvement his time. In any case U better hope he succeeds, we won't have a country left much longer on current trajectory, debt alone will finish us and that's not the worst of it.
    2
  4994.  @cavediver2579  You're a decade out of date, new LFP batteries will last 1 to 3 million miles for a good brand. Battery change will be limited to rubbish like Chevy but they are going bankrupt anyway just like most of the legacy brands.
    2
  4995. This vid is BS. I don't fear CO2 but a good modern BEV with LFP batts last 1 to 3 MILLION MILES and cost 5 to $10k for batt pack. Replacing batteries is history with few exceptions, and it sure ain't $47k to do it, that's hilarious, good BEV entire cars cost that.
    2
  4996. Fast charging is not required for MOST ppl most of the time, just plug it in overnight. And new cheap LFP batts last 1 to 3 plus MILLION MILES. ICE is dead. Get used to it.
    2
  4997.  @theoryofpersonality1420  Set the fires?? Fire is natural essential part of most wild landscapes. Your city or basement is not normal. lol.
    2
  4998. I take a few exceptions too but curious what others disagree with as he's mostly right on target.
    2
  4999. NO! He'd go crazy first 2 hrs in that universally corrupt cesspool and he's too valuable with Twit 2.0, Tesla and SpaceX. (he's not eligible anyway, but I appreciate the sentiment)

  5000. Who else is sick of The Machine.

  5001. Probably also terrified of Epstein's list.

  5002.  @aussiert  Have connection to Brazil since 1970's, dad made multiple visits for business, we had high school Brazilian exchange student 6 months (wonderful animated exuberant beautiful girl!), later my parents made many long vacations to the jungles, etc. Brazil has special place in my heart, top 10, hate to see it go to hell, aka., Commie. IDK what to expect. Just learning but that judge, sounds silly--he looks F'n EVIL, certainly behaves that way.
    2
  5003. Why would anyone legislate that ONLY crims have guns??
    2
  5004. Just wait. This was a given regardless of the fun poll, it's a matter of principle but maybe you don't have any principles.
    2
  5005. Taiwan visit is NOW MANDATORY. CCP threatens conflict every time we don't cave into their noise. Biden is a wet sock puppet.

  5006. We are working on it. Respectfully--UK has far bigger problems now that we've turned the corner with Mr. T. at the top. Starmer is a guilty mangirl.
    2
  5007. Ever considered thinking for yourself?
    2
  5008. USAID was never about aid. It funded all sorts of insidious activities inc. bioweapon labs including funding the creation of Covid. Wait until that sinks in. I believe commutator is wrong about such as USAID HIV work--those were fronts for nefarious CIA activities mislabeled to deceive.
    2
  5009. Yup. Canadians are PISSED at the suggestion that Trudeau might be governor of 51st state of Canada.

  5010. JB should get the respect he deserves...say a little shove at the top of the stairway on way down? 😁
    2
  5011.  @FirstLast-sw1gx  Interesting that the Left are extremely Libertarian when it comes to sexual freedom, decriminalization of narcotics and such (I'm with them on that much), but have zero respect for divergent ideas or "Capitalistic acts between consenting adults". Most of the bigotry comes from the Left especially regarding the ultimate minority--the individual. But also this inane anti-billionaire BS as if that's all they need to know about a person is their wealth status. Almost all the open racism is from the Left.
    2
  5012. It's all good, more CO2 makes my gardens thrive. :D
    2
  5013. It's our duty to be as offensive as possible in certain circumstances. NON-compliance with tyranny.
    2
  5014. YUP....free expression absolutely paramount, probably even before right to bear arms and self defense.
    2
  5015. That was many yrs ago. 250 miles in about 35 minutes at a Supercharger going to 15 minutes in a couple yrs. But of course many places are still undeveloped and will be stuck with $80 of gasoline instead of a $10 charge, sucks for them.
    2
  5016.  @frogmorely  Yes but it matters little, ppl will vote with their wallets and before we know it, BEVs will be the poor man's pick for the same reason they keep driving that '94 Civic even while wanting a Camaro. :D
    2
  5017. Your information is out of last decade. New batts will last 1M miles and cost some $5k to mfg. Things are evolving fast. NO good reason for governments to be involved, better quality EVs will sell themselves in a competitive market place as fast as they can be built, as they are already in Euro, China and USA. (VW an exception as not many want those) Also EVs burn 1/10th as often per mile as gas cars. Update yourself.

    2
  5021. Looks lk Elon is going to create "TwitterX" which will be free speech absolutists.
    2
  5022.  @seanworkman431  Of course. Yet Gore won the now tainted (for other reasons as well) Nobel Prize for exactly that. History deniers, aka., climate alarmists tend to say weather isn't climate but then blame every 'extreme weather event', hot or cold or whatever, as another indicator of anthropocentric climate change.
    2
  5023. We should elevate the discussion to ideas instead of catering to our innate tribal instincts just bc it's easy. Who gives a shit what color someone is? Labels are lazy, judge ppl for the individuals they ARE not some goddamned categories to avoid the necessity and effort of thoughtfulness. Intelligence, achievement, values and integrity instead of superficial labels. Do they have bleached teeth, a tattoo or black hair?....who gives a fly'n F_CK. This woman is correct to defend victims of racist extermination regardless of color. I like to think she'd defend S.A. farmers even if they were yellow but if her focus is on whites?....so be it. Anytime hoards of looters destroy the productive members of society they will reap what the sow (pun)....future famine. They asked for it. I don't like religions including this woman's brand but I tip my hat to courage and speaking one's mind every Goddamned time. Free speech is about protecting obnoxious, controversial ideas not about the weather. We must retain the right to be offensive, I am and proud of it. I don't need to agree with her to say: "You GO Girl!!" (But I have a weakness for Brit attitude, grit and humor)
    2
  5024. Good LUCK y'all--from farther N. Commifornia w love. 😉 Hope U got some kick ass alternatives like we seem to have (even excluding T if you like) right now. We have a shot at something of a renascence. T has small potent team already spooling up--Elon, Vivek Ramaswamy, RFK, Vance and many more.

  5031.  @HemanthKumarJadhav  More CO2 is better. What makes an arbitrary historically ultra low 280ppm better than 600ppm. More CO2 is greening Earth an making my organic gardens thrive.

  5032. I hear she's a decent prostitute, that's far more than I expected of her.
    2
  5033. Fun fact: Petrol cars burn to the ground so often it's not even news, 10X more than BEVs per mile. 😄
    2
  5034.  @Tentin.Quarantino  Another thing--when a batt car burns it's near impossible to extinguish, BUT it never fireballs like gasoline always does, making passenger egress relatively very safe for BEV.
    2
  5035.  @T--xk3hf  It's a towny only, and not a good one at that. But if you have multiple cars it's nice to have one you don't have to do anything to, not even go to a gas station. I expect to end my ICE age with fave V8 car, very impractical but fun, hope to run it for many more yrs, weekends mainly. Never buy a new ICE again tho.

  5038. Rob Ainscough Your assuming that this particular report is accurate which is dubious. How do you know these aren't just disgruntled workers or others with an ax to grind.
    2
  5039. It sure isn't CO2 so you may as well invent any other childish nonsense.
    2
  5040. DO NOT become popular in China, that presents a perceived threat to the evil CCP, they will not stand for it.
    2
  5041. @Zappy Zap No he should be calm and considered like the professor, hysterical is not convincing.
    2
  5042. That myth is a BIG part of the problem, it's primarily the lack of frequent fire that allows these conditions to develop. Past time to murder Smokey the Bear and manage the land far more properly including prescribed burns.

  5046. Germany is starved for a new generation, maybe some refugee young families would mesh? (not to make lite of terrible situation) As Commifornian American I welcome most of the immigrants from our South, some of our best most crucial productive ppl and not only bc Cali agriculture totally depends on them. Different situation in peace, but I figure those few (million) fighting to get into America are going to be better than average US citizens. :D
    2
  5047. Hate to "armchair advise" but those dams will be far stronger if you simply make them slightly more labor and material intensive via a gentle curve against the flow....or less intensive via making them thinner and still stronger. Concrete walls have very low tensile strength so the entire structure should be in compression. I just fear that they won't hold up long as constructed here.
    2
  5048. I'm hoping it's gradual enough that they just fade away like Sears, if diminished enough in size they won't be "too big to fail".
    2
  5049. Way behind the curve or he'd have invested in Tesla long ago. I suspect he's just too old and stuffy and repulsed by a real revolutionary/visionary CEO, he missed Amazon and Apple in their best days too I believe.
    2
  5050.    Nope. Compare, say 50MPG hybrid to 125MPGe BEV. Can't compete with that with anything. And the 125 goes to the Tesla M3 which blows the Prius out of the water in every way. Unless you charge hybrid at home all the time and never go far, that's not how they are actually used. Economics will sort this out, already has. Hybrids a great intermediate step for last century, not the future or even the present.

  5051.  @harrison00xXx  CO2 is healthy, are you saying water is worse? What chemicals specifically are you referring to?
    2
  5052.  Charles  Do you have a problem with free enterprise? Is it YOUR BUSINESS what transactions I make with consenting adults? When I was your age China was totally communistic and it was literally the definition of mass starvation. Definition of Communism: "From each his ability TO each his need." Somehow that sounds good on the surface to the naïve but it's the definition of hell in practice.

  5066.  @redcamaro9401  Good point, my choice just the same, sore shoulder not so bad under the circumstances. Never had a big problem with 12. (bro once had a double barrel 10 gage that he had to load to the max and test both barrels at same time, lol, 1st try standing in heavy snow, hard step back to stabilize self, he fell on his back, 2nd go he leaned in better and stayed on his feet. PRACTICE, HA!)

  5081. OH MAN!! One of my biggest little frustrations with maintenance is my damn grease guns, unpowered to date.
    2
  5082.  @larsrons7937  Not looking for this argument but CO2 is a bit player in climate, not remotely the driver, that's a media and political fabrication, not what the data and science says. Establishment media has never understood or given a damn about science, but fear sells as one CNN dude was caught saying: "We'll shift back to climate after Covid (hysteria)." Back to topic--I'm actually impressed how well the alternatives have supplied W. Euro gas. USA can produce more than enough it's a matter of liquefaction, storage and transport. NOT a Trump fan but he warned Germany/Euro about dependence on Russian energy and they snickered about it, of course he did it in typical cringy fashion but he was right. More cringy still: "I'll bomb Moscow if Putin invades Ukraine" ....better bluster and threats than real war tho, no coincidence Putin waited for Mr. T. to be gone.

  5093. Wonderful winter for us in Cali, far better than we dared hope for. Most of the flooding was in flood plains (named that for a reason) and 'dry' creek beds. But LA Times predicted "the end of Sierra snow" as recently as last November. 😄

  5094. Mentour's character, a snapshot: In a moment of cynicism few yrs ago I left snide comment here, critical is OK but I was a tad negative, only 1st or 2nd vid I had tuned into, I was unfair. He responds strongly with calm rational explanation, making sense. IDK if he saw my apology but I like his style, subbed ever since. Be very happy with him as pilot.

  5101.  @davidpatton7298  Yeah we should return Biblical mandates--have you murdered your children lately for disobedience? How about genocide for an entire city if ONE individual is caught worshiping the "wrong" god?
    2
  5102. BarocaS2 Yes it should be a crime to feed greasy burgers to children with all the obesity, diabetes and heart disease running rampant and killing half a million Americans every year.  Compare that to how many die from pulling a trigger on a semi auto weapon at a shooting range.
    2
  5103.  @willtwain1383  And all that is just initial sales profits, software can easily double that in coming yrs, but only for Tesla.
    2
  5104. That's because you are stoned or just stupid.
    2
  5105. I'm apposed to government interference in markets except where clearly necessary. Why is she even allowed to trade stocks? That's a bigger concern.
    2
  5106. Which is a good thing as far as that goes.
    2
  5107. False. Many of us have bought yrs or a decade plus ago, obviously having nothing to do with MoMo. Children gamblers who don't know what they own or why are buying on momentum and they are now flushed out which is healthy for the stock and inevitable.
    2
  5108. Mindless toxic socialism has made extreme open bigotry against the wealthiest, popular on the Left, shamelessly dehumanizing the ultra productive. It's even worse than racial bigotry.
    2
  5109. Imploding how? And why do you fixate on it, is it your problem or are you poor and located in a poverty state?

  5110.  @han1218  Good reasons to drag out the demise of the name.
    2
  5111. Fix the goddamned infrastructure already! Obama should have done it and it's not getting any better.
    2
  5112. RIGHT--as they trash the governments response, isn't Mr. T responsible for anything ?

    2
  5116.  @georgehollingsworth2428  Yeah that's over optimistic, just a comment on vid content. MOST of us are glad to be out, that's not the issue here, it's about HOW we get out.

  5119. Only matters for gamblers. Investors should ignore all this racket.

  5120. One of the secondary reasons I loaded up on TSLA at $38 May 2019 was the expectation Apple or other biggy would backstop the stock not much lower.

  5124.  @user-sp2yu9zt6h  Well put. :D
    2
  5125.  @Godaround  They were on the edge of survival for a decade and only made it due to Elon's relentless drive and an exceptional team. I don't think anyone else will come close to duplicating that in this space ever. Good to see Rivian giving it a serious go regardless. Most of the legacies deserve to die this decade, healthy creative destruction and good riddance. Chinese brands in particular are going to facilitate that along with Tesla obviously. I'll look at RIVN again in 5 yrs at $30.
    2
  5126. Yeah and YOU TOO.
    2
  5127.  @liuyi900  If talking split adjusted it was between 2014 to 19, otherwise 2010 to 13. Prior to 2018 it was too risky for ME but a lot changed by then.
    2
  5128. There was damn good reason for that back then.

  5131. Yeah RIGHT--that's why you are penniless.
    2
  5132. Did you even listen? You are totally clueless.
    2
  5133. Maybe you should listen to him he said nothing of the sort here, he poked fun at those foolish enough to be in such names.
    2
  5134. And it should have been expected to an extent. I love the broader participation but RobbingHood should be dumped.

  5135. DEFINITELY unworthy servant, God must be disgusted with such blatant pandering and cowardice. As if an Omni God should need help anyway, must be a weak god you believe in.

    2
  5143.  @jhblake123  Peter Shift has been predicting such every yr for the last 20 but no one listens to him anymore. There are inflationary and deflationary forces at work, have you done the numbers including S-curve tech advancements which are extremely deflationary?
    2
  5144. Any decade now no doubt. We've been hearing that every day since 2010. Not to be dismissive about printing but you don't know what's going to happen.
    2
  5145. Good changes. Far too many even today can't pay their mortgage if they miss a month's income, F'n irresponsible and so many that they cause systemic risk.
    2
  5146.  @erickm3940  Have YOU looked at the financials recently? They are PRISTINE. It's F and GM that are doomed by debt.
    2
  5147. HA! ONE DAY you will understand why bud. :D
    2
  5148. Far better just to eliminate ALL subsidies and let free enterprise WORK. These things always end up in Crony Capitalism territory and are difficult to impossible to terminate long beyond their obsolescence. The corn ethanol fiasco for example--that will only end along with the pending obsolescence of gasoline.
    2
  5149. As soon as you mention the Bible as tho it wasn't a toxic joke--you've lost all credibility.

  5150.  @structuralengineering3406  So did you. It's all good Sport. :D
    2
  5151. Seems good but it's a show me story. I wish them the best along with any other US upstart tech/mfg. NOT on my money yet tho, I'll check back in a few yrs.
    2
  5152. Fair chance of that but Arab oil money can be fickle and I wouldn't follow them anywhere anyway. lol.
    2
  5153.  @bikshamtg3777  AFTER he proves it to MY satisfaction I'll consider it--Y'all have fun gambling, I wish the best for Lucid and others. Wishing is not an investment thesis, but then I didn't get behind TSLA until late 2018 for same reasons, did great but missed huge run from IPO to mid 2019. Current EV IPO values post T explosion are not comparable to T's IPO value....PILE of downside here.
    2
  5154. Biden is the most openly corrupt prez in recent history, they didn't even try to hide being bought by Detroit and the UAW with their recent cringy dog and pony show pretending GM is the leader in EV's and other laughable nonsense. What a disgusting POS. (and yes I checked that box too as a vote against Mr. T., never thought in thousand yrs I'd question that choice but....)
    2
  5155. Nothing but penniless children commenting here?
    2
  5156. HAhahaha! Good one.
    2
  5157.  @ANIL-oi5bn  Only the most cursory glance would conclude that, he's talking about different sectors and effects?? Maybe the material is just too advanced for you.
    2
  5158. That's exactly what he said here you MORON.
    2
  5159. How do you KNOW that?
    2
  5160. AscendedSaiyan3 It's easy to see that TSLA will be--say 10X higher in ten yr.s? I hope you have all your spare change riding on it then, it's FAR from that easy for me. (Just today Elon pointlessly trolls the SEC, Tesla desperately needs an adult at the top)
    2
  5161. It ain't like every other company, it's rightly controversial, that's the nature of big upside potential, it's never easy at this stage of the game and high risk. It's only easy to see in hindsight.
    2
  5162. Ask Warren--she's wealthy by here position and corruption, she didn't earn any of it. Far bigger problem is that DC is inherently corrupting, how about that insider trading Elizabeth?
    2
  5163. NAZ is down more like 7%, you are apparently only looking at the volatile names, that's the way it works....high flyers always get hit hardest. School is in session for the MoMo kids.
    2
  5164.  @HarryNoze  I think he has the candor to tell it like he sees it. You can look at his positions very easily.
    2
  5165.  @r4ym1n13  A BIG advantage and apparently Tesla workers are considerably better compensated overall tho I don't know the numbers. (compared to UAW fodder) Elon mentioned the dilution to the stock via the rapidly growing work force with stock options, I think it's solid investment and worth the dilution.
    2
  5166. Try dropping your dope and becoming excited by sobriety and reality, then you'll understand.
    2
  5167.  @Nazarje12  Realize these threads are dominated by simple pointless penniless children with out any realistic thought of actually personally creating wealth via gainful employment and frugality, saving, agonizing over money decisions and investing.
    2
  5168. A big fat YES. (not my body dimensions, my finances) But it's NOT the only thing that matters, millions of things matter...mainly each of us getting going and taking care of business in whatever legit form that may take as individuals. Never been an ideal time in history yet still many thrived. Make the most of the flawed era you are caught in, you don't get a reset.
    2
  5169. @Corona Pyrrhus Inflation is NOT determined by any single category it's a composite sample across an entire economy, services, fuel, food, rent, hardware, software ...everything but prostitutes and dope. Get a clue you damned fool.
    2
  5170. It's already around 35 forward PE which is stupid cheap for 50% growth rate. Only the macro and continued underestimation allows for this low a price.
    2
  5171.  @DJNitreBlue  Well YEAH, I don't even notice such nonsense. Random alternative speculation doesn't help tho. Looked like a cheesy building the way it came down, all buildings fall eventually.
    2
  5172. Probably NOT as it was documented structurally failing and came down so easily like it was made in China. I'd be moving out of the its twin tower.
    2
  5173. On the surface this seems smart.
    2
  5174. Probably and they will be missed just like we miss Sears today.
    2
  5175. That's what I thought too but apparently San Francisco branch of SEC railroaded Tesla on that and Saudis were complict.
    2
  5176.  @yarik12341  One day is meaningless. I'm up some 600% for the yr without playing anything. ;-)
    2
  5177. Or 20 or 30 even. A lot of pundits predicting a selloff which increases the chances it DOSEN'T happen or is minor.
    2
  5178. Also TX is far from perfect, the dealership model has corrupted the entire auto retail environment there, cancerous crony capitalism.
    2
  5179. They are also expanding in Cali despite the adverse biz climate it has a lot of other things going for it...hardly "fleeing" from anywhere.
    2
  5180.  @bogrunberger  TSLA has been fantastic so far and yeah I've got a pile in it since $190 last June, it's a rare opportunity.
    2
  5181.  @bogrunberger  Sure--just like Amazon, Netflix and similar. I assume you are shorting TSLA for all you'er worth then? Otherwise it's false confidence, cheap childish talk.
    2
  5182. TSLA up 18% after hours. Bahahaha!
    2
  5183. I need to build a new house but expecting prices to normalize over next couple yrs, everything is WAY expensive right now.
    2
  5184. What's the alternative?
    2
  5185. Only for children who have no idea what they are doing in stocks.
    2
  5186. HOW in the hell could you not smell a RAT here?
    2
  5187. Great question Mel 4:00 And now the truth is out--they don't have enough liquidity to survive.
    2
  5188. Munger touting BYD while selling the stock as fast as possible, they sold 40% of position last yr.
    2
  5189. SO cool to look back only 2 yrs! Sweet SWEET shorties--y'all transferred a BUNDLE to my accounts. Hahaha (2.5 yrs)
    2
  5190. blableka That's ignorant given all he has accomplished already. Name a con artist who has developed anything like a successful, profitable rocket co. of all things, initiated the entire transformation of one of the biggest industries on the planet, autos. Not to mention Paypal and other companies that put him in the position to do these greater things. No doubt there is a Musk fan crowd that can't seem to see the negatives but YOU are a member of the irrational opposite.
    2
  5191. It's only been good for trading in the last 5 yr.s, terrifically BAD long term investment SO FAR.
    2
  5192. Guy is reasonable but none of these guys will understand Tesla until the revenues show up on the quarterly reports. The market is supposed to lead reality but often it doesn't, that's where opportunity for outsized gains happens. How many of these folks captured NVDA spectacular gains recently, or even AMZN or APPL back in the day? If they had they probably wouldn't be doing these sorts of shows, they'd be too wealthy already.
    2
  5193. International mourning as Trump leaves office. HA!
    2
  5194. Squirm? Not here. This is his cringy morning personality that SOMETIMES can be insightful and entertaining.
    2
  5195. I can't argue with this but I sold everything I wanted early this yr. in anticipation of the crash and we'll see how well I get back in but so far so OK.
    2
  5196.  @TooAjit2Quit  Entertainment or not a thesis should be checked for any holes or inconsistencies.
    2
  5197. I don't necessarily like every move they make but it's THEIR toy not yours, you have the right to boycott them tho.
    2
  5198.  @johntheux9238  And watch as our useless governor Newsom takes credit in coming yr.s for the EV revolution even tho his 2035 mandate is largely irrelevant as market forces will drive the switch faster than that anyway.
    2
  5199.  @johntheux9238  But of course most of the general population has no idea of the changes about to happen, all they see clearly is the recent past of rubbish EVs and 1 or 2% adoption rate to date. Very few grasp the "S-curve" that us fanboys expect.
    2
  5200. Anticipating the future certainly IS valuation. New Street makes a compelling case maybe you should read it. Nothing new to us fanboys except that it comes from Wall St. for a change.
    2
  5201.  @benjamin7114  You don't know what your talking about. But let's say you are correct--does that also mean Tesla is doomed as those credits run out?... as they are/will run out.
    2
  5202. I still love my old analog manual BMWs but I need to build a new house and, yup....gained 'nough for a couple houses. :D
    2
  5203. Makes sense tho, you must be new to this.
    2
  5204. And you are here because??...your bored and penniless?
    2
  5205. I don't look at my portfolio on down days.
    2
  5206.  @xdman20005  Be dumb not to sell BC into that run up as already apparent. CO2 credits are the price the "competition" pays for not being able to produce and sell cars, I'm not a fan of it but it's asinine to suggest it doesn't count just as temporary costs like Elon's compensation package counts in the opposite direction, those will run out in 12 to 18 months. Look at the margins on the cars, not only exceptional but consistently improving.
    2
  5207. He covered ALL of that, pay attention.
    2
  5208. PE is irrelevant, many good tech stocks have PE infinity bc they are investing everything into growth for the future, smart investors don't want major earnings at this point.
    2
  5209. Capitulation of ONE at least. ;-)
    2
  5210. Her solution is decades old, market swings don't change a thing.
    2
  5211. No you won't. You will simply miss out entirely. How much have you gained in TSLA so far?
    2
  5212. Because her ETFs have had spectacular returns over 5yrs. This isn't a game for challenged children.
    2
  5213. O'Leary is always worth listening too.
    2
  5214.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  There's a number on reasons to avoid Chinese stocks. A big reason for the real estate investing insanity there (buying garbage apartments no one will ever occupy) is bc Chinese don't trust their own markets, it worse from the US in that the very 'ownership' is sketchy.
    2
  5215. The market is not a place for short term gains, that's what a job is for. Retail traders lose.
    2
  5216. They don't call'em "mobile homes" for nothing. Looks like the only serious damage in the whole state.
    2
  5217. I love the notion of the Leftists getting WACKED.
    2
  5218. I'm happy to continue to own it, made me rich and will likely 10X from these ludicrous lows in a mere 5 yrs. Buy soon or cry later.
    2
  5219. I was for a moment wishing I wasn't a stockholder when it roll on stage--"everyone" hated it and then almost everyone comes around to liking or loving it, strange reaction.
    2
  5220. That's why you are poor.
    2
  5221. Lol. No it's just not these clumsy legacy attempts. Tesla will offer an econobox with only 25% extreme cold temp losses.
    2
  5222.  @thepandaahbear9025  And here you are consuming fossil fuels to indulge in completely unnecessary internet use. What have YOU DONE to decrease your footprint? Given up beef? Ride a bike everywhere? Grow your own food?
    2
  5223. For those new to this and for all of our short memories--there is ALWAYS a legit reason to be cautious and many constantly reminding us of the potential of "correction". We may get a 30% dip, it's never fun but it's healthy, investors ride it out while weak hands get flushed out. Disciplined investors win eventually.
    2
  5224. Really? GJ popped his head up again just to get wacked back in his hole?? Gordon has BALLS...brains tho...uhmm, not so much.
    2
  5225. A one day move is not important....I gained ballpark of $60k on TSLA today. It's not a profit until you take it, just a GAIN that can be lost and not an indicator of much necessarily. I'm in it for the long haul and it's served me well so far, I'll change course when the story changes.
    2
  5226. Trump made America a GREAT Banana Republic. WELL DONE y'all who supported the traitor.
    2
  5227. Forth Industrial Revolution, take stock kids...or buy some.
    2
  5228. On the surface--this sounds like ordinary market competition and pathetic childish French whining. Am I wrong?? Are we not all on the SAME SIDE France?...yes with some differences but not like China trashing the Pacific and threatening the World. About damn TIME we quit cowering to China.
    2
  5229.  @allsportsexpert  SO....VW can't sell their EVs, not many, and they can't make money on them, meanwhile they must cannibalize their profitable ICE cars and overhaul their factories, probably go further into an already dangerous net debt load of about $150B. Tesla in contrast has net cash of about $15B. F and GM have similar crippling net debt of around $120B and $90B respectively. GM announced a $20B investment in EVs over several yrs meaning more debt. VW at least openly admits it's in trouble while most of the others continue to fake it until they break it. Yes Tesla is inferior to lux brands in terms of suspension sophistication, ride quality, road noise intrusion and a few other luxury areas. As long as you are willing to pay 3X as much for a vehicle that currently has garbage charging infrastructure, meaning you can't do road trips in them, inferior tech and efficiency, not even over the air updates we take for granted with T cars and less safety and laughable performance by T standards.
    2
  5230. ​ @allsportsexpert  VW's CEO asked Elon for help in a recent top VW executives meeting bc he's "panicking" over the massive efficiency advantage Tesla has. In the time that VW builds one (vastly inferior) EV, Tesla turns out 3, perhaps going on 6 with new production lines. VW, GM, and most of the rest are struggling to make a few bucks or break even on their EVs while Tesla has exceptional 30% margins. The rest can't even do that with their ICE cars. VW is at least doing all it can (apparently) while the rest of the legacies are still planning on ICE for profits well into the future, a future that won't include ICE. So VW has a higher chance of survival than most old auto but it will be downsized if not bankrupted. Chinese EV Co.s and Tesla are eating legacy autos lunch across the board. Your simplistic analogy is like 60 Minutes interview of Amazon executive back in 2001: "Amazon is worth 20% MORE THAN SEARS?!?!" exclaimed 60 Minutes host with incredulity. Remember Sears? Yeah it was the Amazon of it's day, and now?....dead. Creative destruction which benefits us all.

  5232. 5M vehicles by 2025 ! CORRECTION: There will not be a single pc casting for entire vehicle, there will be front, rear and batt pack structure which won't be a casting.

  5233. Better yet--ignore all this noise and focus on the individual companies of interest, just a few you know WELL, and ride it long term.

  5234. Rare moment for Ron, he doesn't typically make any short term prognostications.

    2
  5237.  @DandyFinance  Reputation (which for GM isn't precious) aside GM had nothing to lose and some remote chance of selling some hardware to Nikola if naive stockholders would carry it far enough.
    2
  5238.  zeppo shemp  How about knowing what you own? Trevor was the most blatant fraudster in recent history so anyone who got caught up in that was recklessly gambling, treat the market as a casino and expect slot machine odds.

  5239. Much worse--endless ZERO worth individuals starting life with $100k of student debt for a worthless degree.

  5240. Not only speech but individual liberty in general.

  5242. NO price elasticity? Double the price then and it's all spectacular. Gimme a break.
    2
  5243.  @thadoc5186  I'm not waiting, made a modest fortune on it already. Won't be long before EVs will not only be the prosperous persons choice but the poor mans mandate. Think S curve adoption rate just like cell phones and many other things...we are on the bottom of the S now. In Cali Teslas are everywhere already.

  5247.  @ericp1139  It's none of my biz how others live but it is my concern. Prosperity and poverty are contagious, both are 1st and foremost a state of mind. I love to see American's succeed, to learn how to manage their money and live below their means and invest in their own future. To be financially independent is very liberating and healthy, efficient for society as a whole.
    2
  5248. And yet you have nothing better to do than support him via coming here?
    2
  5249. Good point. They will sell and wipe out legacies both here, Japan and Europe. Trying to keep them out won't work indefinitely but may induce Asian brands to build factories locally.

  5251. CNBS--get the message we are sick of your perpetual terror tactics and manipulation??

  5252. Mostly smarter but in Elon's case both harder and smarter. Hard work is useless if not well directed.
    2
  5253.  @MaxMustermann-yj1wz  Sure am and there's a litany of damn good reasons for it, if you understood 10% of them you'd either join the club or just be stupid.
    2
  5254. Woke is the term for modern American Communists, self proclaimed 'social justice' warriors who would have us all equal, as in universal poverty.
    2
  5255. Yeah some fret over Scott doing his job of checking, playing 'devils advocate'. Both do well here.
    2
  5256.  @jiteshbiswal339  Only barely. EVERY large Chinese company is affiliated with the CCP and can be expected to be used to spy, pilfer IP, warp the narrative in Western Media, infiltrate our political system, etc.
    2
  5257. Day traders are losers until they are entirely broke.
    2
  5258. And you are here why? Because you have no productive purpose in life?
    2
  5259. If that's your take why are you here?
    2
  5260. Zeus Bless YOU! :D
    2
  5261. Meanwhile FSD is largely solved and all other major MFGs on Earth will line up to license Tesla's software and hardware w 80% margins for Tesla.
    2
  5262.  @JOEL6780  No it was long before he even heard of Rob I believe, it was about 14 months ago.
    2
  5263. "Victory Gardens." I can only say that I'm planting like crazy and I've never seen my fave local nursery more busy, HD and LOW are a little different however. Nurseries are generally outdoor with excess space.
    2
  5264.  @muffinmcpuffin2399  Sure. I invested in myself 1st, exceptional skills, work ethics and education, started my own business at 20, engineering degree, only later into stocks. What are you invested in?
    2
  5265. Must have, something to look up. He also warned (in his own hilarious, understated way) about Trevor/Nikola prior to Hindenburg burn.
    2
  5266.  @rosecarmen453  Very sorry history but it is HISTORY and has been for a century.
    2
  5267. He already had $10B tax bill coming up and if he sells 10%, tax will double but still leave him with some cash the likes of which he's never in his life had. He either sells stock or goes another $10B in DEBT. Get an F'n clue.
    2
  5268. I don't think they are counting on FSD at all and will likely have sold this innitial batch before FSD is a thing for the general public.
    2
  5269. Always great perspective from Art.
    2
  5270. Where do you draw the line? Planning and executing terrorism against Americans is NOT OKAY. Get it???
    2
  5271.  @Goofy948  Maybe this is obvious but I have to often remind self--markets are ALWAYS SCARY, give me time to recall and I can come up with reasons to fear being involved at any time in the last 20 plus yr.s.
    2
  5272.  @Goofy948  I learned from my old man too, he did pretty well over the decades but he was never highly active in it. Best of results to you. (avoiding the word "luck", :D )
    2
  5273.  @Goofy948  It's ALWAYS easy in hindsight. It won't likely repeat that drop for a 2nd wave, and if it does you'll be too scared to enter, lol...human nature. Wise advise--"It's not about timing the market but time IN the market." (tho I too try to time it sometimes including selling in Feb/March bc market wasn't taking virus seriously enough then buying back lower)
    2
  5274. Riots create food? How about growing a garden like many of us do instead of destruction and blaming others?
    2
  5275. Even if he's right? I looked into QS long ago and the yellow flags were enough for me to avoid it.
    2
  5276.  @mylesgray3470  SURE--just like GM and Nikola, right?
    2
  5277. Plenty of work for those with trade skills, 6 figures is relatively easy to obtain, but that's TOO HARD or not prestigious enough for most ppl.
    2
  5278. Do you ever listen to him? Or just another bored purposeless penniless child? Why are you here??
    2
  5279. Kids:::: Cramer like any other (typically high quality, if flawed) pundit, is for You to learn from, you will NOT understand all the nuances, and it's OK to disagree. Only a Big Baby equates disagreement with disrespect. Don't be simple--bc that's simply lazy and the Universe AIN'T SIMPLE. Two sides to every trade. This is not math and physics, it's more like long term weather forecasts except harder.
    2
  5280. Be specific, what are you talking about? He hasn't changed in half a century, his "craziness" is wildly successful and Tesla has never done better.
    2
  5281.  @coolmodelguy  I'm reasonably wealthy and you are NOT. Why? I can still command $150/hr (gross not net) just with myself, my hard won skills and efficiently specialized custom designed and made (by me) equipment. Endless opportunities in the trades. Maybe you are just a born loser and need to accept that, IDK. Maybe you failed at integrity?? YOU be YOU and I'll be ME. OKAY? ;-)
    2
  5282.  @coolmodelguy  Why should I listen to losers for advice on what WORKS? Your indoctrination is not serving you well and I should adopt the SAME?? Your anger is yours alone, OWN IT. Kevin is not above criticism, no one is, but I prefer to listen to successful folks over failures who can't even take responsibility for their own attitudes and results. YOU set your own limitations, no one else does. The sooner you internalize instead of externalizing and projecting, the better off you'll be. But that requires being man enough to take responsibility for yourself. My thoughts are from my own significant experience in life, not everyone is indoctrinated just bc YOU ARE. (projecting)
    2
  5283.  @hangender  I paid off my modest home long time ago and now semi-retired contractor, don't really need to work anymore. Worth a couple $M, never worked retail except as a bicycle mechanic as a kid. Went straight to heavy industry which is far more demanding, interesting and rewarding.
    2
  5284.  @jsnow7775  Based on 3 months of rotation out of tech right? Never mind previous 5 yrs of spectacular outperformance and potential for same going forward. How long have you been involved in markets? 6 months or a yr?
    2
  5285. He won't lose a solitary valuable employee. (email was specifically for executives BTW)
    2
  5286.  @petecheng1  Stock is STUPID CHEAP right now and has made thousands of millionaires of ordinary Tesla employees, will make far more in coming yrs.
    2
  5287. If your miserable with your job it's on YOU. No excuse for it, either get a different job or create your own
    2
  5288. email was specifically for executives. Ridiculous to think you can do that from home and anyone who'd want to is worthless anyway.
    2
  5289. Top 10% pay more than the bottom 70%, force the poor to work 90hrs/week so we can confiscate something from them for a change.
    2
  5290. And he might even be 10% correct.
    2
  5291. Are you a Noob?
    2
  5292. Why are you here? Don't you have something better to do besides announce your personal failure to the world?
    2
  5293. He was one of the few warning us several months ago to the present that this virus was not taken nearly seriously enough. Your comment is irresponsible, childish and ignorant.
    2
  5294. Elon just reiterated they will indeed grow on average unit volume by 50% CAGR. Enough said.
    2
  5295. Buy TSLA now, it's laughably undervalued in part from the hysterical Leftist Establishment Machine threatened by the Twitter crime scene Elon's revealing.
    2
  5296.  @davidbeppler3032  Totally agree. Been stupid long since mid 2019 starting at $38 and don't see any reason to trim now, waiting for around $3k/share to trim for a new house build. :D (even tho that won't dent my position badly I'm not looking forward to even harvesting $500k that soon, new digs can't wait indefinitely)
    2
  5297. Just don't overstay your welcome in F. Things don't look so rosy a few yrs forward.
    2
  5298.  @DadWithAnIpad  Dirt cheap and getting cheaper by the month, it'll play catch up eventually.
    2
  5299. Grow up, good grief.
    2
  5300. Love that Joe points out from the start that this is all just noise for us investors, we should ALL already know that retail traders/gamblers are generally losers.
    2
  5301. Some maybe but everyone recognizes that more involvement is good for everyone involved, so MOST do not want to see the Noobs get blown permanently out as many certainly will. Fundies will rule eventually.
    2
  5302. Wallfart is soul destroying, I hate the stores not the stock.
    2
  5303.  @jessejennings3828  Baloney. Your "research" is apparently a partisan echo chamber. The COURTS decide this and have, not you or me.
    2
  5304. And except election fraud is a fantasy.
    2
  5305. Allowing America to continue it's spiral into USSA won't allow Tesla to even exist. How this is lost on many is beyond me. Free enterprise can't exist with the DHS/FBI Ministry of Truth controlling dialog as they have been.
    2
  5306. 3:05 "containable"...there is NO REASON to think Elon will sell more than the 10% already pledged, anytime soon.
    2
  5307.  @anime9228videos  Yeah even those predicting imminent collapse of everything? Always plenty of those.
    2
  5308.  @onethreefiveeye  Yeah that sort of simplicity generally comes from penniless kids with no concept of investing.
    2
  5309. Where?
    2
  5310. Where are all the "Peak Oil" naive children NOW?? :D
    2
  5311. Good GRIEF...get a grip.
    2
  5312. Create your own darn company.
    2
  5313.  @aepr  Create your own big tech if you don't like it.
    2
  5314. Pretty stupid to tolerate organized or disorganized criminals to use your platform to advocate violence.
    2
  5315. That's silly. Tesla 'econobox' will slaughter the Corolla/Civic class with only modest cannibalization of the 3. Good reason why average cost of new purchase in USA is about $40k, many need or otherwise willing to pay for a bigger car while any new car buyer will now be able to afford a Tesla for the 1st time if they can afford any new car. Your compare should be with Apple that has 20% market share and 60% of the entire industry profits, under Jobs they continuously 'cannibalized' themselves. Cheaper Tesla absolutely necessary to get to 20M annual sales this decade and it will have similar high margins to Y and 3, maybe better.
    2
  5316. For over a decade if you interpret it that way.
    2
  5317. And far more important on the TRUTH over all else situation.
    2
  5318. Sounds great and when your done with the feast you will starve to death.
    2
  5319. Money that you obviously don't have any of. hahaha Why are you here?
    2
  5320. Exactly. Like Cramer but rarely bother w trading stuff in many yrs.
    2
  5321.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  I don't really care about irrational irrelevant price action. 25 or 40% since XYZ....YAWN. Tesla is thriving with a spectacular future, eventually the stock will reflect that.
    2
  5322.  @rj8u  You don't take it seriously bc you don't have 2 nickels to rub together anyway. Tesla is thriving. You'll have to grow up someday, enjoy your poverty, You EARNED IT.
    2
  5323. Entire establishment rigged the narrative from Hunter's laptop to endless censorship.
    2
  5324.  @pauldannelachica2388  At least 5....I bet the 'ranch' on it starting May 2019 and intend to hold most of it 5 to 10yrs plus.
    2
  5325. Tim Cook totally dropped the ball here and I'm SO grateful for it as no way I'd have done so well otherwise.
    2
  5326. Plenty of tech growth stocks have PE of infinity....that's simply an obsolete metric as applied here.
    2
  5327. More like 1.5 to 1.6M deliveries in 2022.
    2
  5328. Another name Cramer has backed for as long as I can remember and a real winner. (up nearly 5X in 5 yr.s)
    2
  5329. They have been for quite some time, it's hilarious sometimes.
    2
  5330. Because he's funny. Why did you click on it?
    2
  5331.  @TimothyParker1  Boy Howdy you must have struggled to convince yourself to do that. It took me a few months to fully discard my long standing diversification religion. lol.
    2
  5332.  @brunoheggli2888  Growth rate is consistent with long range predictions by Tesla and will accelerate meaningfully next yr. The establishment machine FUD is also consistent, Tesla doesn't pay protection to the mob via advertising like everyone else does. Around 50% in unit sales and 60% plus in revenues. Anyone else doing that at scale?
    2
  5333.  @adriankuma1-1-1  Give it 5 yrs before even considering investing.
    2
  5334. Cute concept but a non starter prior to a Constitutional amendment. But he'd go insane in the first hr of the BS required in politics, what a waste of talent anyway.
    2
  5335.  @sailorforlifebestti3366  BTW--congrats on the gains.
    2
  5336. "Super app" has been Elon's stated goal ALL ALONG, this lady simply didn't pay attention.
    2
  5337.  @paulstone3590  Treat the market like a casino and expect slot machine results. SURE folks were calling Elon a fraud and they were obviously wrong all along, frauds don't have massive achievements like he had since he was 12! If that's your "thesis" you better reconsider your methods. If "that's all you know" it's sure as hell not enough.
    2
  5338. You don't understand, here it's all about signaling virtue, saying the right (I mean Left) things, not DOING good things.
    2
  5339.  @Jay-xr3sb  He's been pretty much on target for a decade now as far as I remember.
    2
  5340.  @vernonnilesjr7910  Fortunately we have great creators of wealth like Buffet to help offset all the sniveling losers mired in their pathetic poverty mentality.
    2
  5341. It will never hit close to 50, much below 200 and some entity like Apple will purchase the whole thing outright. But go ahead and short it.
    2
  5342. It's no different than headlines have ALWAYS been or the clickbait we see constantly even on good YT channels, except this time it's accurate.
    2
  5343. But it's not remotely like Bitcoin in terms of metrics.
    2
  5344. We'd have been SO much better off if we pretended the virus didn't exist. No response would have been FAR healthier.
    2
  5345. You think he doesn't KNOW that?? Sheesh.
    2
  5346. Monopolies NEVER serve us efficiently and governments are the ultimate monopolies, this is why they need to be minimized. Saving the newly unemployed is not optional however.
    2
  5347.  @grahammewburn  I've live entire life under such threats, nothing compared to the daily worry of immanent nuclear inhalation of the 1960's when we had school drills on ducking under desk, hands over head to kiss your ass good bye. So KEEP ON TRUCKING, it's always something. I have been gradually growing my emergency food stockpile, becoming more and more home grown self sufficient...but not at the detriment of my business or growing my financial snowball.
    2
  5348. Friend of mine just visiting family in Silicon Valley area, all of his family has been manipulated by popular propaganda to hate on Elon since he took over Twitter and The Establishment went nuts because they no longer have a monopoly on the One True Narrative. ALL of them still drive Teslas!
    2
  5349.  @garywozniak7742  This corrupt "plat form" won't allow me to say much, wrote 10 paragraphs, all disappeared. You are familiar with The Big Guy tho, right?
    2
  5350.  @carl-Sp  It's happening about as fast as possible, looking back it'll be 1900 to 1913 again...sudden shift.
    2
  5351. It's a treacherous scam.
    2
  5352. Impossible to look at for a minute, she should take anyone desperate enough to embrace her.
    2
  5353.  @TurdFergusen  Indeed. Politicians too obviously. Don't expect to free Twitter from the one true narrative and not be punished by the DC alphabet soup.
    2
  5354. I'll accept negative $6B to the criminal lawyers.
    2
  5355. 3:10 "Get that shit off my roof!" :D
    2
  5356. Great to learn my V8 BMW is "green" because it's white. 😄
    2
  5357. Nikola has NO intention of building any real real trucks they are only building this shell of a structure to hang on to the naïve dupes who still hold the worthless stock.
    2
  5358.  @IndigenousEarthling101  One of my ICE cars has only 300ish mile range, while very rarely a problem it's those rare occasions that matter most.
    2
  5359. Inflation should be around 30% by the time of average delivery of current orders.
    2
  5360.  @mac_and_cheese-is-yumz  Ahhh! But maybe Lucids are equally unique, only thing about Deloreans unique was the skin and doors, very standard otherwise except for exceptionally low power for it's class.
    2
  5361.  @mac_and_cheese-is-yumz  HOW will they survive when they can't sell 200 or $250k cars, no matter how good they are? They can barely produce 10k per yr but only sold about half of those?? Rawlings comes off as a shyster anyway. Wish them well but doubt they will be around 4 yrs from now.
    2
  5362. I don't think that was same hammer, on stage they had a plastic covered sledge.
    2
  5363.  @bryanwhitton1784  Both suck. Only two reasons for it, costs and in some cases--avoids being labeled and taxed as a "car". Get that thing sideways and it's going to be a big problem. And maybe a 3rd--novelty, that's a bad reason. OKAY--so maybe the electronic overlords prevent it going sideways in 90% of situations, then you have severely limited emergency maneuvering capabilities, limited capabilities period. And then the fact that you WILL hit every large pothole coming your way, it can straddle nothing. Every trike design ever was short lived with rare exceptions like India's little tut tut death traps. Back in the '80's we had 3 wheeler ATVs, they were fun but much more treacherous than the four wheelers that replaced them....endless examples.
    2
  5364. Last place I want to park is in direct sunlight and I'll never buy a damned trike, worst configuration ever.
    2
  5365.  @luckyluc25  It's hard to get your head around but those are classical Liberal values like freedom of expression that Dems have completely given up in pursuit of Authoritarianism.
    2
  5366.  @luckyluc25  But it's worth reminding them as often as possible. (we have a MLK street in town, will they want to rename it? HA!)
    2
  5367. These unelected tyrants ambitions have no borders.
    2
  5368. I wouldn't pay squat for a car that was done like that--guarantees a child owned it they destroy everything.
    2
  5369. Either way they can GFY. We are not beholden to random tyrants.
    2
  5370. U should be a fan of Elon, this is not new, similar from Australia, Canada, Brazil and even the USA against X and Musk.
    2
  5371. Boycott Rossman obviously. Make them pay.
    2
  5372. Spotlighted their true colors.
    2
  5373.  @mikeydude750  Nothing kills violently like our roads. Stay in your basement or you have a death wish. lol
    2
  5374.  @mikeydude750  Helios not to be taken lightly, only rode twice in one and unloaded suspended loads a few times. Every pilot is dead F'n serious, you don't joke w them while working. One pilot I worked w had lost a brother in same family biz of a handful of helicopters. Dad briefly did exploration geology in N. Canada, helio access only, 'everyone who'd flown for several yrs experienced a crash'.
    2
  5375. Avoid any GA flying in those conditions...including fixed wing.
    2
  5376. Why did you stop?
    2
  5377.  @stickynorth  I'm pretty sure that quality matters. We need more child labor, far better for them then social media, aimless bumming around and failed public schools.
    2
  5378. Excellent overview, like your style.
    2
  5379. What is the ideal atmospheric CO2 level??
    2
  5380. One can also add a very reasonably priced automatic seismic gas shutoff valve.
    2
  5381.  @nicov1837  What are your sources? I have a brother veteran semi-retired Boeing Airliners Engineer and he tells me it's not new to the MAX. Things get complicated, the pilots share the blame, that doesn't mean Boeing isn't permanently scarred by it too. The pilots of the Lion plane prior to the crash dealt with the same situation safely so obviously it was generally KNOWN procedure.
    2
  5382.  @nicov1837  I was talking about both accidents and it's been standard procedure for decades, MCAS is not new and they train for it, runaway trim has been a potential issue for half a century. The difference is the degree of automatic control which is one of the areas Boeing screwed up on. I don't believe it wasn't in the manual and in any case there was a bulletin issued specific to this situation after the first crash.
    2
  5383.  @nicov1837  They didn't follow it well, they switch it back on. The previous crew ran into the same problem and managed it and the plane should have been taken out of service until repaired properly. Granted it can be a very difficult situation for pilots in a short amount of time to respond. It's the same system that's been on 737s for ever only the degree of auto-input was increased, same procedures, same switches, etc.
    2
  5384. We don't give a crap about your imaginary friends, just don't try to impose on the basic rights of others.
    2
  5385. They talk productivity increases needed and demonstrate it in the vid with way too many ppl doing dumb things like putting labels on packages or manually guiding a wing section around the factory floor.
    2
  5386.  @jephreemika490  We understood his message let's not fret over a typo.
    2
  5387. Been millions of unfilled 6 figure income REAL JOBS in the USA trades for decades, more than ever now, but who wants a job with any physical component especially when the trades have been stupidly stigmatized this century by our culture. For those with work ethics who can rise above mindless status, it's a big broad opportunity.
    2
  5388. Kaku's pet fusion is totally dependent on subsidies, huge ones.  I'm no expert but I don't believe fusion will be viable this century if ever, the hurdles are just too high.  I tend to think that fusion is almost a scam it's success is so remote. Solar is following a trajectory similar to many technologies and appears very close to being competitive.  Sure it's subsidized but so are fossil fuels as the environmental costs are not included in the price at the gas pump or electric meter--that's a good argument for a carbon tax to help level the field. We have spent trillions just protecting the Persian Gulf oil fields and shipping lanes and such interventions led to 9/11 attacks, etc. Those are massive taxpayer subsidies for OIL.
    2
  5389. Have a radar for psychopaths folks, only some 2% of the population fit that definition, I bet she's one of them.
    2
  5390.  @jolobas472  Anarchy?? WTF? What government are you talking about, N. Korea, USSR, CCP or Luxembourg? Minimal government is ideal, not anarchy. Have you noticed the devastation caused by reckless unscientific authoritarianism of recent yrs? That's turned me from 'Centrist' to simply hardcore anti-Leftist as they have been going full bore toward tyranny. I don't want to tell you how to live nor be responsible for you and visa versa. I demand liberty and embrace the responsibility inherent in such basic human rights. I'm not asking I'm telling you what I won't tolerate, I won't be anyone's slave even in the name of "the common good" like Marxism. Grey areas in the details but adhering to our Constitution is essential.
    2
  5391.  @casualearth-dandavis  Just a fun way for me to say you made good sense.
    2
  5392. Well done Sir, seems plausible. 😉 Subbbed.
    2
  5393. Bring back the constitution and respect for freedom.
    2
  5394. And pretty soon the grocery stores will be empty which isn't all bad because half the nation needs to learn that an economy is NOT OPTIONAL.
    2
  5395.  Ryan M  FUCK you'er STUPID.
    2
  5396. SURE. Let's all panic now just as we have for the prior 100 doomsday predictions every decade.
    2
  5397. We all "consume" Tweets regardless as it's quoted widely everywhere else
    2
  5398.  @wionporky9937  Better live in the present and learn from history. CCP would own Philippines if not for the rest of us, no one else is about to colonize y'all.
    2
  5399.  @noahevans-mcleod4772  No big thing in the US either, it always looks worse from a distance with media hype. Mid last yr I was led to believe Italy was half depopulated.
    2
  5400. Real msg from God is that some are praying to the wrong one--seems churches get leveled 1st. :D
    2
  5401. It depends a lot on how many miles you drive per yr., total cost of ownership is already lower for high use cases but in a few yrs BEVs will be the poor man's choice too as the used market will have ample supply of BEV econoboxes. The only exceptions will be for those who only drive, say 2k miles/yr.
    2
  5402.  @langlangdunia  Better to cannibalize your own product lineup than avoid change and let the other guys take your business.
    2
  5403.  @willisswenson3843  Enterprising individuals should spend all their time and energy on the black market, IDK Cuba but that's the only way to achieve any "social justice", ie., Meritocracy, in such circumstances. Gotta think there's a big parallel economy that sustains them.

  5404.  @willisswenson3843  OH...and you'll begin to see it referenced in popular culture, The Simpson's to Bill Maher to public bathroom stalls: "Who is John Galt?" One of my most respected old friend's college age daughter was reading it last time I talked to him, he was very pleased with that, I'm assuming as an antidote to you know what. Keep in mind it was written in the 1950's, much was from her history from Russian becoming the USSR and plenty prophetic since, including, oddly--shale oil development as a smaller story element. I've watched the movie which is OK but no way to remotely duplicate the book without a long mini-series.

  5405.  @willisswenson3843  :D You may find yourself riveted to it as many others have, a fantastic story by itself. Took her 11 yrs of diligent hard work. Hit me up after you get into it a ways.

  5406.  @willisswenson3843  If you like reading at all you should read it, just for it's captivating qualities and brilliance. My favorite part is John Galt's speech on "The Root of Money", no matter your conviction or how articulate you are, guarantee you'll be further armed against the tyranny of socialism. It's core bit of American culture, be it from a derogatory or celebratory view point. Great read even without the underling message. (I'd contest her on the Gold Standard but that's relatively minor, plus few other trivialities/technicalities) It will give you more powder. ;-)

  5410. Sometimes when we in the West get indignant about working conditions elsewhere it makes things worse. Those folks aren't taking that job because they have better options. Yr.s ago when a Nike plant was closed in Asia due to our collective concern/outrage it left the locals in even worse situation, few bothered to follow up on the results of their knee jerk reactions.

  5420. Robert Metzler: New jobs for illiterate folks? This will cost far more jobs not to mention US prestige and international influence. We once were the leaders of the world, Trump just resigned the USA from that position. China will benefit just as they do from the stupid withdrawal from the TTP. No surprise however. There are a surplus of jobs in America today and a shortage of folks qualified to fill them.

  5428.  @Demobot1  Any idea how hard it is for us to just send a probe to Saturn? Our fastest ever vehicles have reached some 65,000 mph, at that rate it would take some 70,000 yrs to reach the NEAREST star system only 4 light yrs away. We have good reason to believe the speed of light (actually speed of causality) is an absolute limit. All our physics falls apart if it's not. Traveling even 20% light sp. is incredibly problematic for us to contemplate, hitting a grain of sand at that sp is like a small nuclear blast and space ain't empty. There are some 500,000,000,000 planets in our galaxy, sure they could be visiting every one over a mere couple million yrs, not a long time. But the best evidence we have is UAPs, no sign of them at all the millions of stars we've look at for decades. It's also highly likely that technological civilizations are inherently fragile and snuff themselves out as fast as they arise. I don't see a way around that, could be a lack of imagination or not. WE are near the point that a single individual, any of us, can terminate our civilization, send us back to the stone age. How do we avoid that when we know there are millions of individuals who'd definitely pull that trigger if they could?

  5437.  @nedludd7622  Mixed bag w Nat Parks, mostly good but not places I want to spend much time in, overrun with tourist while actual wild areas are far more compelling due to lack of ppl. Yosemite, for example, spectacular and must see but NOT a wilderness experience, much of the Sierras are wilderness designated and actual wilderness experience because one must hike for days to get deep into it, eliminating the masses. Simply banning roads, development and vehicles does wonders.

Family spent a night or two at our place, I was maybe 7. Dramatic even at that age.

Back in the 1980's they were competitive and sounded great with that 'doubling of RPM' sound effect, popping twice as often....it was a scraper, still basic dirt collecting/transferring machine on many earth moving jobs but the 2 stroke is long gone.

I asked around when the Canadian Trucker saga was going and many barely knew anything of it or had never heard of it at all while I was checking in on it daily. Thanks for the suggested channels. I have gone from "complicated", non-tribal, sort of Centrist to simply hardcore anti-Leftist since Covid. I still see ppl wearing masks voluntarily as if that did anything.

  5491. Part of the script is to neglect the most obvious maintenance, way before inevitable breakdown. Should never break or wear out such a belt but replace near half life instead and toss the used ones in a parts box attached to the machine for spares. A quick temp fix could be attempted with rope--plus tacky belt dressing if available. And/or hang a good size electric ventilation fan on front of radiator if gen has aux AC, alternator may not spin well but that's manageable for a day or so.

  5501.  @jamesstacey529  Coal only powers a small minority of the grid in most developed countries, that's a laughable notion, and since a BEV is 3X as efficient as ICE it works out in net benefit. But let the market place decide, the trajectory is obvious. Mandates are stupid and counterproductive. My 'old' 2011 BMW M3 weighs 3500lbs, new one is 4000, BEVs are not necessarily much heavier. What does a F150 or F250 weigh? Similar to Cybertruck I believe and F is a fragile chrome plastic grocery getter.

  5506.  @timepstein274  I appreciate your reasoned if not entirely realistic response. Apparently it's news to most that herds of large herbivores can be as integral, essential to many landscapes as anything else. Everything from antelope to elephants are crucial to African ecology, for example. Original comment was intended to be a bit provocative, leather can have conditioners not suitable to health either, but they need not. I don't know particulars of plastics used in seat covers but there seem to be no innocuous plastics, some much worse than others, soft ones tend to be on worse end of spectrum.

  5507.  @timepstein274  You expect the EPA to protect you??? Not until YOU demand specific action from them first! Our institutions are so corrupt it's shameful, scary. Our environment is loaded with toxins, better count on yourself to mitigate it. Methane is a non issue, completely fabricated BS propaganda from Establishment Media Mafia that has never ever given a flying F about science or reality in general. It only lasts about 15 yrs in the atmosphere, that's like a second in geologic time, geology being the origin of climate science. Then it becomes plant fertilizer. Until very recently the USA had the "American Serengeti" with several million buffalo 'blackening the landscape' until geocoding the Natives nearly made them extinct. That's comparable to current cattle numbers. Avoiding feeding them grain, corn mainly, also has significant benefits across the board. While "factory farms" and cheap beef are a problem, many ranchers improve the landscape via keeping herbivores moving over wide areas. The simplistic notion that BEEF IS BAD is typical of the irrational, ill-informed Leftists. (yes the Right has it's analogs too) Frankly, veganism is unhealthy. Properly managed livestock is not only beneficial to the land but healthy to consume and if a modest premium was had for byproducts like leather--that's a good thing to promote responsible production and land management. Tesla for one, claims to responsibly source such as cobalt, leather can be even more responsibly purchased.

  5508.  @gianni.santi.  Really? This car re-writes physics! And I suppose it can straddle things on the road even tho there is a wheel in the middle? 3-wheels are between inferior and pure garbage. The only advantage is they might be cheaper to build and they often skirt automotive licensing/registration laws falling in a motorbike category or something less than a 4-wheeler. They are inherently less capable and less stable, NO GETTING AROUND IT. Time and again they pop up to be different and fade away. Back in the '80's it was that offroad toy that got banned due to rolling over on folks, only "quads" exist now in that space. Arcimoto might get away with it due to low speed city use and low CG with battery pack at bottom but it's still compromised...oh and it has a full roll cage which is guaranteed to be useful.

  5535.  @newagetemplar6100  I have slightly modded, Dinan kit E-46 (2001 330), but at 146k miles there's so many issues, mostly minor but they add up, not sure it's worth the time effort and expense to even take care of the most pressing half of 'em. Still really like it for a towny but is it worth saving? IDK My murdercycle days are behind me it seems. Rode hard daily 'crotch rockets' for 15 yrs then without intention just fade away from it. Don't much miss the exposure. Surprisingly the E92-M3 is a very good substitute for ME.

  5536.  @newagetemplar6100  Petroleum has been vastly beneficial to not only humanity but Earth, on balance, despite the severe downsides. Yes it's time to be fazing it out but it saved the whales, not a chance sperm whales in particular would have survived much past late 1800's if not for petroleum for machinery and lamps alone. Likewise, the worst of all, coal is still better than cutting down all the globes forests which indeed would have happened without fossil fuels. We need to get beyond the current climate propaganda which is almost the same as climate hysteria throughout history, the Aztecs to the Salem witch trials, human sacrifices over superstations about the weather. CO2 is a bit player in climate and tho blasphemous to say--it's almost certainly better at 600ppm then the random starting point of 280ppm which is extremely dangerously low as it drops to 180 during glacial maximums, just above mass plant extinction which is the end of everything that matters

  5537.  @newagetemplar6100  I'm a bit of a petrol head too, still love my high revving "old" BMW V8, but it's a replacement for the high performance motorcycles of my youth, not so utilitarian....can't think of anyone I'd recommend it to. There was good fundamental reasons for early battery cars to fail over a century ago, the batteries were simply insufficient for anything but short city trips, then charge for say 8 hrs plus before another short trip was possible. They were manufactured and sold but the demand wasn't there. Steam cars were also in the mix back then and the highest performance available for yrs, but startup time, hassle and low efficiencies favored gasoline by a wide margin. Even in the '90's, tho the GM EV1 was popular among those who owned them, and 40 mile range a big improvement over a century prior, it wasn't enough for most customers. It was a missed opportunity as a glimpse of what far better batts could achieve. Classic Xerox or Kodak moment by GM, but credit to them for doing it.

  5538. I wonder why the CT wasn't done in aluminum instead of extremely heavy expensive SS? I think I'd prefer it in Al.
    2
  5539.  @4literv6  That sounds about right. Likely beyond my retirement unfortunately. "Retire" seems like a slow death, lol, not fond of the concept but....
    2
  5540.  @4literv6  What I need isn't about to happen, it's a big market segment but not comparable to a pickups. A replacement for traditional 1-ton service chassis that accommodates existing beds. I have excessively expensive specialized custom bed fitting traditional frame dimensions. (440V 3-phase power would be a huge plus too)
    2
  5541.  @PikaPilot  I already have and it's worth it.
    2
  5542.  @andrewmeehan6151  Your out of touch with Tesla, no insult just a fact. They are the most profitable per unit of any mass auto mfg on Earth and becoming more so every yr. (aprox. 26% margins) Last Q2 report was spectacular as each one bests the previous, it's become expected. F and GM will likely either be dramatically downsized, merged, or extinct by 2030 however. And YOU TOO will switch almost for certain before decade is up unless you have money to burn. I have no desire to give up my beloved 2011 BMW M3 either, but when I get tired of driving??....or more frugal?...yeah it'll be a BEV then.
    2
  5543.  @andrewmeehan6151  Very soon a used Tesla "Model 2", or similar priced competitors, will be the poor man's only choice, exceptions for those who drive very limited miles, for them that 1994 Civic will do for many yrs. Meanwhile the higher end market already set to be dominated by more expensive BEVs. So then it just comes down to production limitations and electric gen/grid capacity. (80% of new vehicles I meant which I assume Sandy was talking about.) Tesla alone will be producing 20M vehicles per yr. by 2028 at current growth rate.
    2
  5544.  @MrRizzo89f  Not near as ridiculous as the bag holders of NKLA, but hey, those naïve and reckless enough to even be looking for the next Tesla will piss it against the wall anyway on way or another.
    2
  5545.  @Carl_in_AZ  Change yes, HFCL NO , not even close. Nikola HELL NO!
    2
  5546.  @patreekotime4578  Excellent points. I didn't bother to get past the fact that H will cost 2X diesel just on the margin, before all the pricey infrastructure, etc. DOA, plenty of great opportunities out there elsewhere.
    2
  5547.  @ThunderAppeal  Do know your own name?
    2
  5548.  @Houndzee  I'd consider either depending on circumstance, specific needs and priorities.
    2
  5549.  @GET2222  I believe I mentioned autonomous but my posts getting posted is a crapshoot.
    2
  5550. Attractive good car--as one with long legs for 6'-1" I think the mentioned complaint about driving position would be a deal breaker for me however, I've experienced a little of that sort of cramping before.
    2
  5551. I have 2011 E92 M3 and love it. :D Good choice for the few who appreciate it.
    2
  5552. I doubt they want a bunch of spectators around.
    2
  5553. One of best Munro Live to date. Very interesting.

  5554. Heat only cares about going from hotter to cooler, it goes in any direction equally unless material properties are different in one direction vs another. Gravity means nothing to heat, the confusion comes from fluids we experience every day, particularly air, where warmer air is less dense therefore wants to float on top of cooler air. (it's not the heat that wants to go up it's the lighter weight air) Same thing with a pot of water on the stove as it's heated from the bottom you can often see the "convection currents", columns of rising hot water rising cooling slightly at top to circulate back lower, stirring the pot for you. Solids expand with heat (become slightly less dense also) but are not free to allow that density difference to circulate obviously.
    2
  5555. My experience with deep bins--the bottom is mostly useless and tends to get filled with forgotten junk. 16:30 Similar to a tool box where multiple shallow drawers should dominate so all items are visible and accessible without removing anything on top. A minority of drawers need to be deeper for items that won't fit a shallow tray. (((as a kid I built a 1-ton service truck bed with one of my main tool boxes accessible only from the top and near 2 ft deep, turned out the bottom 2/3rds were essentially useless, you didn't know what was down there after a few months and would have to pull all the stuff out of the top to access which is extremely inconvenient, inefficient)))
    2
  5556. 19:00 Very diplomatic way to say "it's BUTT UGLY" lol
    2
  5557.  @lockbert99  I'll give NKLA 5 or 10 yrs to prove to my satisfaction that they are viable just as I did with Tesla. I don't think they will be around that long but it will be interesting to see. Hopefully Trevor will be stripped of ALL his wealth as a token of justice and recouping to shareholders.
    2
  5558.  @Zorkmid123  Sure. I don't think the economics of FCEVs are close to competitive but there will be exceptions, niches where they may exist in small numbers. As to if Tesla say, can make the 500 mile semi without compromising payload remains to be seen in my eyes, but Elon has pulled off bigger surprises than that. For shorter range FCEV semi is doomed IMO, simply no reason for the extra upfront cost, complexity, and triple the fueling cost.
    2
  5559.  @D0li0  Everyone has the right to be wrong sometimes, Sandy also confidently predicted 5 months ago that FSD would be ready by yr end when that was obviously not the case , he didn't realize what FSD was attempting to be. Take every source for what they have to offer, there never was a time when one can be so lazy as to subscribe to everything anyone else thinks. Conversely, a wise man can learn something even from an idiot. I knew a very bright if arrogant engineer who was working at a service station repair garage back in the day while in college--he was struggling with a tiny spring for carburetor (fiddly things they can be) and a coworker that he estimated to be the dumbest dude on Earth walked past, showed him a little trick that made it right in seconds. That's when he realized he could learn SOMETHING from anyone. :D
    2
  5560. (I stand corrected that this wasn't the FCEV version, but BEV)
    2
  5561.  @rj8u  Interesting. I'm still not convinced Munro will have glowing things to say about them in final verdict, but I've never been on board with Sandy on H2. Having a prototype that 'works' (ostensibly, short trip empty isn't entirely convincing) is a far cry from production which is still a long way from a viable company. I'll be very surprised if they exist in 5 yrs.
    2
  5562. Looks like something that will be completely forgotten about in 5 yrs. NOT remotely competitive.
    2
  5563. Nothing will save H2 from the fact it's double the cost of diesel. The charging stations are extremely expensive, best not to waste money on that, let the few run them from a central location only refueling at home base until the are abandoned for BEVs.
    2
  5564. That's not Sandy's role. We ALL know that. I also don't think Sandy is the best at determining the economic viability of H2 overall for this purpose. I think NKLA should, will eventually be a penny stock.
    2
  5565. They aren't that stupid and reckless I'm pretty sure.
    2
  5566. I'm think'n one would burn the tires off that car hotrodding before tearing it down.
    2
  5567. Good point, how about modestly bent rim causing interference wheel lock up at speed?
    2
  5568.  @vic321344  Yup, that could be a "massive" problem. Front drive is a deal breaker for me.
    2
  5569. I recall some 15 yrs ago BMW 'planning' on going 48 volt, didn't realize it went back half a century of nothing but talk. Obvious perhaps but unmentioned here--most of the components driven by 48V should also be smaller, lower mass and eventually cheaper, not only the wires.
    2
  5570. Much prefer leather over plastic, be nice if Tesla had that option but I get the minimization of options and the emotional vegans make the most noise. :D
    2
  5571.  @mrknesiah  Yeah I was amazed when 1st learning that, losing engine power should never result in loss of steering but it does for at least some of those trucks.
    2
  5572.  @Shakazuloeman  They know 'everything' about the vehicles they have torn apart and analyzed in minute detail, most of that is intended for sale not for free. So they know very exclusive mostly proprietary 'secrets', much of which many of us would be curious about and the competition (of said vehicles) willing to pay good money for.
    2
  5573.  @socktosser  Says the product of the Nanny State, I bet you still rely on nannies.
    2
  5574. Mike Maddow will have new reason to be relevant again. 😄
    2
  5575. Yeah but perforated dude got biggest character building experience of his life.
    2
  5576. Garden variety. What can happen when U do hard drugs, wind up high on Jesus too, then meeting him. 😄
    2
  5577. Hope the stolen BMW is OK.
    2
  5578. Tiny criticism--it's always a good idea to announce to cop when approaching: "Do you need help officer!" So that he/she knows which side you are on as that's not always a given.
    2
  5579. Steeling the car was probably a felony. Sympathies to car owner.
    2
  5580. Dang, two fully serviceable cars scrapped.
    2
  5581. Did dude say he was hit? Easy to miss that part.
    2
  5582. Quit dodging responsibility, God never helped anyone, we can only hope to help ourselves.
    2
  5583. It can be very valuable for--say investors in Tesla to follow Elon's thoughts, ask him questions, etc. (Had these folks on the panel done so they'd have seen this coming a month ago)
    2
  5584.  @sapiensursus3034  Anything U won't believe if it fits your narrow self projections?
    2
  5585.  @JuanGarcia-ep2yh  Ultimately I trust we r all 'American patriots' of one flavor or another. More importantly, we have core ethics of Meritocracy, Liberty and Justice for ALL. IF we can agree on those principles we can build from there. :D) Do we realize how precious and fragile our Constitution is?! And who has been undermining it most in recent yrs.
    2
  5586.  @JuanGarcia-ep2yh  Name one significant thing JB has said accurately? Serious question, probably something I missed.
    2
  5587.  @JuanGarcia-ep2yh  What are your principles for life? (if possible to state briefly)
    2
  5588. It's not "still" for me, it's because.
    2
  5589.  @ronaldpankonin3671  Yeah MAYBE. Vevik is a lot smarter, far better at dealing with Establishment Media Mafia, not such a narcissist (T is still bragging about his damned lockdowns! He should be profusely apologizing but can't ever admit he was wrong, that does not inspire confidence in any reasonable person). I'll enjoy a T victory as "sticking it to the man" but sure wish I could vote for Vevik instead.
    2
  5590. Mr. T had his chance and completely failed. Why should we expect better next time? (I'll support T but we could do a lot better) Edit: credit to T for spotlighting the 'deep state' but not denting it.
    2
  5591. @Bob Marly Any American of near average health and intelligence can be prosperous if they are willing to seriously pursue it. Poor pay sales tax and indirectly pay property tax, etc. 70% of income tax is paid by top 10% of earners, poor receive some of that and that's OK. And we ALL pay for inflation, a 'hidden' in plain sight tax, but poor pay more relative to their means. It's NOT A ZERO SUM GAME and the prosperous/wealthy create most of the wealth. One persons gain is everyone's gain, quit this class warfare nonsense, we are all in the same darn boat. Poverty and politics are obscene, wealth never is, conspicuous consumption can be but that's a separate issue. Also money politics is a big problem but that's primarily a fault of the political system.
    2
  5592.  @wtf_usa5597  Poor can only gain, they don't pay for any of this.
    2
  5593. 7:45 he describes feathering props wrong, it's not about stopping rotation but dramatically reducing drag on said engine(s). Turning the blades into the wind, intuitive. Otherwise spinning dead engine prop like a porous disk in the wind if you can't feather it. Nitpicking but for those who may have been confused.
    2
  5594. GREAT idea.
    2
  5595. THIS Proud to be American about twice per century--this is one of those times...where the likes of Gaga can exist and thrive. Top that passion FRANCE. :D
    2
  5596. That's not the way to do it, always best to allow bad ideas to be aired and challenged.
    2
  5597. Yeah you stay with that line, no point in you voting.
    2
  5598. Hahaha! Biggest loser in history regardless.
    2
  5599. No difference in their view.
    2
  5600. Y'all better get serious about exporting certain types, I know it seems impossible but what else would work?
    2
  5601. Many yrs ago Christopher Hitchens lamented 'the beginning of the end' (my words) concerning anti-blasphemy laws. He wasn't wrong.
    2
  5602.  @cynthiakeller5954  Commonly known as YT.
    2
  5603.  @nifflofair6685  As long as it's Meritocracy, usually those results are justice. Poverty and prosperity are both earned conditions. Equality of opportunity should be a goal, NOT equality of RESULTS. Get it?
    2
  5604. Rare articulation, concise and thoughtful, SO British. :D I challenge anyone who pans Meritocracy which is an automatic component of Economic Freedom. It's either merit based or self immolation, societal implosion.
    2
  5605. It's the same thing in this instance I pretty sure.
    2
  5606. Never mind prayers, start DOING.
    2
  5607.  @TimBitts649  We don't have enough engineers, software experts and other usefully educated and the ones we have too much of aren't of much value anyway. Poor countries are usually that way for a reason, corrupt governments or hostile to capital, isolationist....
    2
  5608.  @emptyvessel3054  No steam here, this is an old tired topic. Pardon me for misinterpreting your cryptic post. Keep tuning into Elon including his unbelievable accomplishments, that's all that matters in this context. (his speeches and discussions become redundant after a while but at least he's consistent for 20 plus yrs)
    2
  5609.  @emptyvessel3054  Let's be honest--You don't know squat about Elon Musk, you simply project your indoctrination and simple mind on to others to avoid the effort of learning and thoughtfulness.
    2
  5610. Not likely she's converted completely, but give her time and a friendly welcome anyway.
    2
  5611.  @carmiethompson2676  I don't find it takes strength, been free thinking, played "devils advocate" my entire life. Don't equate disagreement w dislike or disrespect, those who do don't frequent me much, small loss. Reality as I know it is reflexively paramount. I may change my mind but not my nature.
    2
  5612.  @carmiethompson2676  Some ask why I stay--bc of the natural landscape and climate I'm addicted to and being entrenched. Born and raised where mountains reach 2 vertical miles above both sides of mile high valley floor, loath flatlands. No substitute for Cali in that way. Maybe the pendulum will swing again, IDK. We did 'produce' a few good pols, Regan in particular. Not the smartest but honest with horse sense.
    2
  5613. We may soon find out, that's why he's panicked. DOGE FTW!
    2
  5614.  @richkaser1228  Not at all clear he'd have benefited from the vacc.
    2
  5615. I resonate with most everything this thinking man expresses--NOT the God centric part however. My incentives are aligned, that's what matters, not my exact motivation which is a broad sense of self interest. Healthy life on Earth and enduring civilization is MY SELFISHNESS.
    2
  5616.  @FreedomLovin  I support Vivek much more but guessing it will be Mr. T on the ballet. How is that hard to understand?
    2
  5617.  @jimijefferson82  Care to elaborate on that?
    2
  5618. Yeah much of it is BS.
    2
  5619. Vivek too.
    2
  5620.  @jonathanrandall4140  Yup, we need to fight that. I've always been non-tribal, somewhat Centrist but always Libertarian leaning. Don't care for either party per se but for the 1st time ever I voted 100% R this time. I've become simply hardcore anti-Leftist
    2
  5621. I got some notion of 'private/government' partnership...all government needs to do is get the hell out of the road after fixing the roads.
    2
  5622. I always though Kamala and Sarah Palin would make good kindergarten teachers, not so sure about Kamala now.
    2
  5623. MSNBS and CNN are to be boycotted, utter garbage.
    2
  5624. Seriously? It's been going on continuously by the entire establishment machine and not just since the Twit saga, but amped up to 11 since.
    2
  5625. He has far more important things to do.
    2
  5626.  @therightway2130  Exactly. I simply took longer than most would find acceptable, if I got a bit burned out, stressing over low funds I'd take a semester off to focus on my itty bitty contracting biz, build up savings and naturally worked while taking classes, often nights. I was out of town for 2nd week and half of one semester on a job, I had my calculus and physics books in cab of truck and would take ten to study a few paragraphs and think about them while doing less mentally demanding tasks to not fall behind. It all worked out, never even thought about loans or asking for money from home tho my folks could have easily assisted.
    2
  5627.  @mattstanford9673  At the very least it's extreme dereliction of duty. Did he know the full extent of it? Probably not, even that is not excusable. He was the darn CEO.
    2
  5628. No question he's going to overhaul Twitter and welcome all political views, etc. He'll have to make it a viable business so that it's self sustaining but he's never been motivated by personal wealth, money is just a measure of providing more value than your consuming. In a few yrs Elon will probably separate from Twitter after it's on firm footing with a free expression mission statement as the primary goal, just as he's done with SpaceX and Tesla, both built with a clear mission to execute on. I'm likely going Starlink too one of these days, glad you like it.
    2
  5629. Almost 100% certain Elon's taking it over, 100% certain he'll completely overhaul it when he does. He doesn't get this far into something without seeing it thru.
    2
  5630.  @greggb1416  He has some of the best brains, most successful, principled and determined ppl possible in his inner circle. Why I'm more optimistic than I've ever been on the DC front. This time will be different, how it plays out remains to be seen but significant changes are a commin.
    2
  5631. And how many unarmed white men are gunned down by police in America?

  5632.  @Ketowski  What an idiotic notion when it's always been open season on billionaires as tho it was a character description.

  5635. NOT ENOUGH unless individuals are made penniless and/or criminally prosecuted, incarcerated. MM said to be only worth $10M in assets, not even X's legal costs.

  5636. If we have scrap of justice left in USSA today--she will. (not holding my breath)

  5638. 2A is crucial but not enough, we must defend it continuously just as Brazilians must defend their rights.

  5639. Marxism and Wokism create hell on Earth. Change that and quit begging.

  5640.  @spread4me75  Correct, but it's going to be a fazed transition for most, not overnight.
    2
  5641.  @hollylaws3110  Probably right and I don't need to mention the obvious anymore. ;-)
    2
  5642.  @hollylaws3110  YT has the biggest audience, archives and best interface. No reason to drop it cold, just phase over to free platforms over time.
    2
  5643.  @hollylaws3110  I got suspended for a day or so from commenting here on YT after I twice attempted to tell some shmuck who was sort of "harassing" me (for lack of a better term, I wouldn't want him blocked for it either) to F OFF. First the algo failed to post my comments then I was notified, lol.
    2
  5644. Rumble and X will trim YT down to size.

  5645.  @vinzole  Tesla BOD is tops, 3 and 4 most crucial but going with all the BOD's recommendations is the default.

  5646. Genetics plays a roll in everything we are, temperament, religiosity, and surely tyrannical tendencies too.
    2
  5647.  @Cmon-Man  Yeah I'd say he's all those things, but he's shown himself more authoritarian than scientific so it doesn't matter how "nice" he is.
    2
  5648. "Always hoping to extract the GOOD out of people..." Goods aka., money he meant.
    2
  5649.  @GizmoFromPizmo  So much for said documentary. I saw the old doc "Gasland" and it failed to convince me of inherent evils of fracking, same for "Who Killed the Electric Car". Think for one's self.
    2
  5650. They didn't care that Saudi's were invested all along as long as Twitter was a Leftist propaganda tool. TicTok is CCP manipulation of American youth.
    2
  5651. Self contempt redirected.

  5652.  @seanboy316  Did the same for the first time in 44 yrs of voting here in far N. Commifornia and will continue personal anti-Leftist 'crusade'.

  5653. I've always like Jami Diamond, many were hoping he'd run for prez few yrs back.
    2
  5654. Doesn't give a damn about public opinion and profits but who cares immensely about justice and potential of humanity.
    2
  5655. That's missing the point which is about principles, not any given individual.
    2
  5656. I don't think Rubin is expecting DeSantis to be viable candidate, it's bigger than that, it's about ideas, beliefs and what works or doesn't. Not about any one individual.
    2
  5657. Yes and they both passionately want the same things within the scope of Elon's role. Both are adult enough to bounce ideas around, compromise if necessary, and keep focused on the big picture. Conflict will be from the rest of DC.
    2
  5658. It will continue. Just as heads rolled for insidious supression of "What is a Woman", this CEO tows Elon's line or get's the boot. Remember all the fretting late last yr over various Twit 2.0 fears none of which amounted to squat? That said IDK why he picked her.
    2
  5659. Why? Absolute waste of energy to think about it, simply wait see what happens. This is only about the dozenth time folks have fretted over Twit 2.0 dirrection including 2 days ago with "What is a Woman".
    2
  5660.  @myronschabe  (F'n YT, breaking it up hoping to get a post to stick) My interpretation is Sam expects us to bow down to his superior intellect due to his prior achievements and credentials. We will NOT. Suddenly argument from authority is a valid logical tact? NOPE.
    2
  5661. Indeed and I once had great respect for him. Apparently that respect was supposed to translate to worship of him, sorry Sam, I don't do worship.
    2
  5662.  @faustoferrari4303  Advocating cops force enter homes, hold down residents and force injections on them is tyrannical, one of many examples of Sam's overt advocacy. Do you prefer a different label?
    2
  5663.  @Juan_deep  Privileged to have disciplined integrity? What's stopping U from advancing your own life?
    2
  5664. Nope, already most cost effective new electric generation, it just takes many yrs to implement.
    2
  5665. Nope. You just did that to yourself.
    2
  5666. Always was for these folks, that's why they had DHS, FBI and more controlling and censoring media.
    2
  5667. As a contractor I write it on the invoice everyday and never occurred to me to fret when asked. It's the easiest part of my day, elaborate on things slowing me down, problems how I overcame them, what they could do to help me be more efficient next time. They aren't holding me accountable as much as planning, depend on my completions which I often can't give accurate time predictions due to highly variable circumstances.
    2
  5668.  @stephj9378  Absolutely! For me it starts with awareness and dialog, as you'd imagine I know many I politically clash with. Plus we ALL must avoid our own bubbles, echo chambers.
    2
  5669.  @barbaras676  Cool. I'm in farther N rural which happens to be a red area too, It's hard to beat really. Not everything is SF or LA.

  5677.  @bloggerty-schmoo2698  Yes and as the power of Establishment manipulative narratives dissipates, most are learning that there's no good reason to fear Mr. T., quite the contrary. (speaking for myself as one previously against him) At the very least we are going to see the end of rampant Banana Republic policies of recent yrs, at best the end of a couple wars, buearacrucy slashed, budget balanced and double GDP growth rate.

  5683. Similar here. I was expecting to get the vax but waited to get some insight as it was untested, then the mandates came down which triggered personal mandate of noncompliance. Got mild case for a couple days, did nothing to combat it, didn't miss work. My fave grocery store, Trader Joes, became aggressive about the rules so I quit them for 18 months. Understand they were probably catering to their Leftist customer base but that ain't ME. I patronized the lenient stores.

YOU can always convert all your cash into gold if you like.

  5707.  @markbrophy5454  Inflation tends to punish all of us. WAGE inflation doesn't hurt the working class but let's be honest, poor ppl don't necessarily work at all. Gold is like any other arbitrary standard, we could just as well have the the potato standard . Currency should be based on GDP and yes the reckless, unnecessary shutdowns prompted reckless spending to save us from a depression. Wall St. constantly frets over inflation, I'm not poor but I worry about it too. We should be slashing spending, TONS of pork and waste in government spending as always.

Tesla showed the world EVs could not only be great but be as attractive as any production car ever. Even T. had difficulty doing away with the faux radiator grill at first, original S. Then they fixed that. Look at every other Western EV, they don't have the imagination or courage to dump the damned FAKE front grill...they look a little silly really. Form follows function. I would never purchase for aesthetics alone but I would avoid on that basis if it's just too much to bare like that Leaf. :D

At some point it's hard to say a lot of EU/UK is better than Putin's Russia. We have way too many military bases all over the world, Germany of all places should be capable of defending itself. If our presence is widely resented, respectfully exit. Could be that NATO is not much longer viable for US in Europe while remaining crucial in SE Asia and Australia. The "nuclear umbrella" could remain separate from withdrawal of conventional forces, we don't want to incentivize nuke weapons proliferation obviously.

  5732. +olli tuovinen It depends. He was clearly wrong about KMX but he was right on target for the "FANGs" (FB, AMZN, NFLX and GOOG, take a look at those over the last 24 months) that he promoted starting about two years ago with 100 times the conviction he had for KMX or anything else. Had you done the opposite you would be in a world of pain. That's the nature of markets, no one is right or wrong all the time and only damn fool children think that there is anything remotely akin to a sure bet. Otherwise just bet against everything he promotes and make a fortune for yourself.

There's never been a time in my 60 yrs where reality wasn't sacrificed on the alter of revenue, drama, fear and/or politics, nor a time when reporters knew or cared anything about science. The data, trends, charts, comparing various greenhouse gasses, etc?
    2
  5743.  @jaredbarker9515  I mean you can't toss an encyclopedia at anyone so I have a handful to a dozen pertinent considerations that, amazingly (or not), few climate alarmists have even considered: 1) over last few M yrs CO2 has definitely correlated with temp change but it has lagged temp as often as led it. So what's really the driver? 2) if CO2 was the driver of climate then we would never escape a glacial maximum but instead the entire planet would likely freeze over bc such time is when albedo is max and CO2 is a minimum. 3) what is the minimum level of CO2 for plant life? My understanding is mass plant extinction, to a degree Earth would never recover from, occurs around 100 to 150ppm. This indicates we have repeatedly been extremely close to global catastrophe in recent geologic history of 170/180ppm. NO question plants are more drought tolerant, healthier and stronger at 400ppm then 300 and life flourished at 15X higher, 7000ppm in distant past. And of course we live in near unprecedented LOW CO2 levels over life's history. Why would we think the random level we inherited is optimal? Does one suppose Earth was made for humans ? 4) CO2 is a greenhouse gas but a puny one compared to water vapor and the irradiance spectrum blocked by CO2 almost entirely overlaps the H2O spectrum, it's like tossing a bed sheet on top of a 6cm thick goose down quilt.
    2
  5744.  @jaredbarker9515  I don't know who's worse, dems or R's, but that's a tangent. Digging up the truth is difficult but raw data can be found as well as, century or 150 yr old publications reporting max temps, fatalities from heat, wild land fires, sea ice, glacial melting, etc., all over the N. hemisphere. Or even recent yrs reports of 2000 yr old Viking mountain trails just uncovered by retreating glaciers (think about THAT) in Norway or similar in other places like Switzerland....ya gotta plant a seed of doubt somewhere or the intellectually lazy masses will never consider they might have been duped therefore can't self correct.

  5755. It seems a lot of Tesla fan-girls can't handle the bear side of TSLA. Those who are currently or thinking about buying this stock should listen to all sides, there is ALWAYS both a bear and bull case except maybe in the case of Sears or the like.
    2
  5756. Yeah it's always easy to say in hindsight. I take it you were heavy long in AMZN and GOOG(L) for the last 15 yr.s, or at least in the mid 2000's? To say there was "no risk of losing your investment" in those is wrong, there is always that risk, but it's also missing the point....it's no fun to see your money cut in half either and that is CERTAINLY possible with ANY stock. I have done well with AMZN but it too can be hard as it's valuation is extreme and it has dropped some 35% on several occasions over the years, to NOT SELL low can be very difficult when you don't know where it's going to stop falling and you have suffered big losses already, and you never know where it's going to stop. If you think it's ever easy I suggest you haven't had real money in the game for long. I could never quite get my head around NFLX either and I missed out on a stunning 10X!!!....gain in a mere 5 yr.s on that one...that's the way it goes, you miss some of them. TSLA I'm always watching but only traded it a few times, if they manage to really produce it, cut costs, drastically improve quality and start making real money I will reconsider but it may be too late by then if it's reflected in the stock price.

One can love the product, the mission and the man, and still shun the stock. Jim is right to advise viewers to neither be long nor short TSLA...it's just too hard to value, professional trader territory. (I say that as I consider a small long, speculative position myself, but I'd recommend many other stocks to a friend, not TSLA)

    2
  5766. Salsabilla It's ALL about the economics, if Elon's estimates are accurate (remains to be seen) then it will sell far faster than they can build them until competitive options arrive. Cummins stock took a hit--that means some smart money is betting for Tesla. If YOU know better--short TSLA. This is the beginning of the end of diesel trucks. I bet you'd have said something similar about e-sports cars a decade ago. The Saudi's are expecting petroleum to have zero marginal value in 20 yr.s. With a few exceptions such as airliners and heavy equipment, combustion vehicles days are numbered.

Anyone in the USA can create their own job and command as much as you are actually worth. NO it's not easy, nothing good ever was, but anyone of near average health and intelligence can do it. Today I'm financially independent, drive the car I WANT not need, own modest place outright, only work part time.

  5769.  @darkwoodmovies  Suffice to say you'd pout and turn up your nose to the well used (near worthless even at the time) Ford Pinto I rellied on for many yrs, or the mini pickups that followed for another couple decades. No aircon, no power anything, max speed 85 mph with a tail wind, 45 ponies... NO you don't have to buy anything, learn to take responsibility for yourself and your choices. If you are over 16 and making minimum wage that's on YOU for not investing in yourself and becomming more valuable. I doubt you'd be worth minimum to ME.

  5779.  @NickRussoTV  We in the USA have stigmatized anything that requires physical effort or gets one's hands dirty, for decades. This opens a massive opportunity for those not concerned about status. I'm far from new at it but can easily command $120/hr (again not net, cost me 20 to $30/hr to operate) with a well equipped "portable welding shop", pricey specialized service truck plus high skills. High quality, very experienced diesel mechanics I know can get at least that much with significantly lower operating costs but boy they EARN IT. Someone did a study on reasonably well off (millionaires or more) on what characteristics were most important to achieving such prosperity, they came up with a list of 30 or so attributes. The NUMBER ONE quality for such success was determined to be INTEGRITY which is not always easy to find but anyone can achieve it.
    2

Eventually these tiles will likely be viable but I wouldn't hold my breath as much as I love the idea.

  5796. Yes Kevin is very good but he sure didn't help us HERE did he. I made a small fortune betting against Kevin's take on TSLA.

  5799.  @dr.livesey7595  Better areas? Most areas are better than you can afford in Euro nations depending on your priorities. I can earn $200k (if I want to work that hard) and my cost of living is reasonable, but I have decades of experience. There are literally millions of job openings without qualified applicants to take them, been that way for many yr.s. Been over a decade shortage of truck drivers even. I have a friend who has only been a welder for 5 yr.s or so, not even all that good and he's getting $120/hr, yes he's in a more expensive area but that can be managed. Maybe you don't believe it because most folks who are doing well are not wasting time sniveling on these posts.

  5800. As much as I like Euro nations, and to visit, I'm sure happy not to live there in relative poverty. In the USA a decent common tradesman can earn over $100k after only a few yr.s training or they can create their own job and do even better.

  5801.  @erikeggenbakstad  I have a modest lot with a nascent 'jungle', a beautiful place to be with more types of organic fruits and nuts, avocados to apples, than I can list here...heading toward 200 not counting ornamentals. A private productive paradise. How about you?
    2
  5802.  @erikeggenbakstad  Rectify what? The need to earn a living?? A free pony for everyone???

  5806.  @caseydorn3309  You challenged my assertion that forced "equality" is immoral. Now defend your position. I get the power of my OWN LIFE. YOU DON'T. Get it? I get 1st say where the fruits of my labors go or there will be ZERO fruits for you to LOOT. Got it?
    2
  5807. F3ND1MUS Not illegal because it's entirely public, you can trade off the same information he does. It's a vote of confidence by Elon, putting his own money on it.
    2
  5808.  @LynxStarAuto  Yeah but one can get much more rewarding, challenging creative work in the field. I have mech engineering background/degree but never officially worked in that capacity. However it's been crucial in some aspects of my own biz.
    2
  5809. With your own shop you can charge $150/hr and be overwhelmed with business, assuming high quality and integrity. The biggest problem you'll have is hiring a few good mechanics to work for you but as a one man operation you can still thrive. (I do so in the field welding biz, not quite to $150 yet but can command that except I won't for old loyal customers)
    2
  5810.  @y0nd3r  It's about Meritocracy. Profits are a fundamental high moral good, we can't exist without them, it means producing more than consumed to create that production. If you have a job you are a capitalist unless it's 100% for charity. (I realize such obvious facts are left out of typical Marxist college indoctrination) Governments theoretically can limit fraud which has nothing inherent to do with profits, but governments are the ultimate monopoly which means poor performance.
    2
  5811.  @mightyb8614  Afghanistan was in the beginning when we almost killed bin Laden but it wasn't for long. Iraq was a shameful family vendetta between Bush's and Saddam. The others are more complicated which clearly you can't cope with, my reflex is to avoid conflict if at all feasible unless it's appeasing the likes of Hitler. What do any of those have to do with THIS? What would you want from the USA? BTW--I am NOT the USA, I only happen to live here, many things done that I loath on my dime but NOT MY choice. Get it?

  5823. Great point about cops creating a more clear cut case even, hopefully only , when they know someone is guilty...it's wrong no matter what but I've seen it 1st hand a couple times in subtitle ways including once to my own benefit--to help me positively identify the obvious crim who rammed my parked car (yes deliberately) and fled. 7:00
    2
  5824. Rogred I could call myself an Agnostic or Atheist, both fit just as for most atheists. I choose atheist because I have always thought "agnostics" were wimpy, too afraid of what folks think and it's high time to change the perception of the term atheist by normalizing it.

  5830.  @soaringvulture  How many inches in a mile? Feet in a furlong? Sq. ft. in a sq. mile? Did you know there's 5280 ft in a mile?? How many fluid ounces in a gallon? How many BTUs to heat a gallon of water one deg. F??? If you don't know those you don't know the system. The only good thing about Imperial is that it used crude units everyone had a reference to, foot, yard(finger tips to center of chest), inch: finger tip to first joint. My foot happens to be exactly 12 inches but most folks are not. Engineers almost always use metric and for damn good reason.

  5833. Wonder how much diff some street tires could make on range and driving dynamics...a lot I'm thinking, tires are a BFD. Just as most don't tow, most don't off road either. I lk that they come with decent off road tires for what it is, but likely not best for most real use cases. (I assume I will have to come up with a good spare tire aftermarket option)

  5840. How about prosecuting the most blatantly corrupt administration in the brief history of the republic? Biden Admin. Openly owned by the UAW mafia and blatantly involved in the graft his doper boy Hunter executed in Ukraine, conveniently hidden by collusion from the FBI, Zuckerberg, Twitter and big tech writ large.
    2
  5841. Pat Laugh What about my last comment?  It seems that there are as many interpretations as there are interpreters.  In that case the scriptures are completely useless as any sort of guide.  The bigger point is that there can be NO substitute for thinking for yourself.  One can do very well in this world without any knowledge of any scriptures but to miss read one and take it seriously and we have things like witch burning, suicide bombers, Irish Catholics versus Protestants, on and on.

  5842. To call for the end of Xi and the CCP is entirely new territory for them, normally that is literal suicide.

  5849.  @killz0ne215  Thanks I was feeling lonely for a moment. :D Seems I was sort of born frugal, I always suffered the decision between current reward vs future potential, more content to save and invest smartly vs discretionary spending, but I had to learn finance/stocks, etc. on my own except for some dad taught me at the dinner table as a kid plus college min requirement. Should be a high school basic. 1st I invested in myself, skills, job ethics (work ethics were ingrained in my upbringing), education, started my own biz at 20 because I didn't dig packing several union "workers" on my shoulders while they made fun of me for working hard. Learned all I could from business friends and associates. I've made plenty of mistakes, fought personal flaws, stayed paranoid enough to avoid a violent death so far, lol... done OK. Most of my friends have done better financially now that I think of it, doesn't matter except best not to be surrounded by failure.
    2
  5850.  @killz0ne215  Half the US population doesn't even have a grand for an emergency but they think nothing of pissing away 5, 10 or $20/day on Starbucks or whatever, which is REAL MONEY....$1500 to $5000 per yr. Financial illiteracy and lack monetary discipline are the problem.
    2
  5851.  @bushy9780  Don't use it then. No reason it should remotely resemble the dystopian aspects of WeChat, take the good and disallow the bad which is exactly what I expect. Note that Elon just days ago recommended everyone get out of PayPal for some of their horrific woke crap, a company he cofounded but long ago parted with.

  5852.  @Brother_Piner  Jesus reaffirmed the entire evil OT Quit making excuses for something so disgusting, it damages your own morality. And what's with "God's chosen people"? That alone is perverse, why would he/it favor one group over another?? Goes against the 'loving all his creation' which is itself laughable given what he sits back watching whilst doing NOTHING Do you ever question or THINK for yourself about any of this garbage?

  5861. lord Farthingale: Good take there but I doubt the losers are employable anyway, they are probably all on the public dole, food stamps, welfare, and crime.

  5875. National parks ruin the places with excessive traffic and development too. Wilderness designation, keeping out all mechanization including such as bicycles is far more effective, much of the Sierras is so designated, you have to hike for days to get to the best places and it's that great filter, the lack of easy access that's the key. Tahoe hasn't been anywhere near as pristine as the backcountry since the first road to it.

    2
  5878.  @imd1b4u  Good points and you seem tab better informed on some of it than I. For what it's worth--highly recommend "Blancoliro" channel here, he won't get airborne until weather clears but really knows the area and covers reservoirs, snow pack, fires, etc. He became popular for by far the best coverage of the Oroville spillway failure and rebuilding.

  5880. West side, over half so far burned, was 100% beneficial to local ecology, grass and scattered oaks. Forest Service was debating how to burn it for yrs...easier to "debate", let inevitable happen, lol, than face responsibility, liabilities. Not to downplay those burned out in East half, but a ton was saved. (fear and feel for my fiends and neighbors, most OK so far)

  5881. About once every 160 yrs a train of atmospheric rivers turns entire Central Valley into a huge lake for months, most recently in 1862 which permanently modified Sacramento. Will happen again.

  5887. Michael Cross It will be able to do all that and perform far better on the road then any diesel truck ever....with one possible shortcoming....the payload is yet to be announced. (a serious omission as noted in vid) It will do at least 60 mph at gross on a 6%, I would guess a lot better given their history of under promising on performance. You will be able to plug in, walk away for a 30 min break and return with an extra 300 miles of charge. Range will be a non issue. All you truckers will be envious of the speed of the Teslas and lack of maintenance headaches.

  5889. I always seek the end users advice for designs for yet another reason--if they have real input that effects the crucial criteria such as dimensions, range of motion, etc., they will have a stake in making it work as some adaptation will be required by them too no matter how good the design is, if they feel left out of the process they may make a good design fail but if they are included they will TRY to make it WORK.

  5892.  @LloyettaJEwing  Yup! Some 80% of the population is isolated from this as urban dwellers, it needs to be understood. It was talked about early last century how California economy would be impacted by the smoke back THEN.

  5920.  @speedan  Nope. Few remember but I DO ...Ronald Reagan was treated the same as Trump by popular corporate media....not to compare Mr. T., who deserved much of it, with RayGun, but to point out persistent toxic liberal bias of our corrupt mainstream media. Trump wasn't as bad as portrayed minus the few toxic bits.
    2
  5921.  @anonymouse527  Just even more blatant corruption than ever before. Look how he's paying back the toxic unions with the electric vehicle subsidies penalizing Tesla, the ONLY American auto MFG that's innovative and competitive. SHAMEFUL. (and no--I've never been a Trumper either)
    2
  5922. Definitely learned his lesson.
    2
  5923. Also the wing is a hell of strong "beam" in the fore-aft direction (as apposed to the primary bending load, up and down), the cable may have been half melted, I'd love to see the severed ends to get a better idea how it failed.
    2
  5924.  @johnk4396  The cable steel itself is considerably stronger but much smaller so wing could be far stronger overall, and ballistic speeds tend to be counter intuitive. Note how the 9/11 aluminum airliners flying at similar speeds sliced right thru the steel columns in the Twin Towers, or at least some of them, wing sections may have also been sliced thru on outboard sections while damaging the columns enough to destroy most of their column strength, structural steels are not normally comparable to wire rope steel but similar in strength per unit volume as aircraft aluminum. Still I too expected the plane to be taken down.
    2
  5925. Minor technical point--an overheated firebox; not about melting but steel losing strength with increased temp, those steels will have lost *most*of their strength by "red hot".

  5930. Good one, fuels the imagination.
    2
  5931.  @oldmech619  Exactly. I'd bet good money it was there all along too, I'd bet a little less that it's related to life on Earth as well. Same goes for maybe a dozen other places in the solar system, mainly Saturn and Jupiter moons.
    2
  5932. Put out a little more every time more damning news on the Biden Crime Family surfaces.
    2
  5933. I would bet good money that microbial life exists on every major body that it can in our solar system. Nothing would thrill me more than for it to be found.
    2
  5934. This should be good. :D
    2
  5935. It's even possible that life can travel between star systems, even between galaxies on a high speed ejected star system. Life certainly gets shotgunned across the cosmos.

  5937. 4G12 What IS the "church of money"? Money is nothing more or less than far more efficient method of trading value for value than packing around sacks of potatoes to trade for a tank of gas. Whenever state currencies fail citizens create their own out of necessity.

  5940.  @lukebruce5234  thunderf00t is a moron only stupid children could fall for. Phd doesn't mean shit even if it was real. SORRY but your judgement of ppl is a double zero. That's one of the reasons you are and always will be mired in perpetual poverty while the rest of us are everyday millionaires with options in life.

  5946.  @ajbala5979  That doesn't always work either. We certainly had that attitude prior to WW2 and it almost got us eliminated as we were unprepared when it came to us I would point out 9/11 but that was backlash against our intrusions into other nations affairs, however after the fact we had to respond.
    2
  5947. We had bigger things to protest back then but a lot of it went off the rails too: weekly domestic eco-terrorist attacks on infrastructure (Edward Abby)...not as bad as industrial polluted rivers catching on fire and such maybe, that happened too back then, all young American 'men' had to consider the lottery, aka. draft into a senseless meat grinder in Vietnam... self righteous stealing/looting, monthly airliner hijackings, far higher serious crime rate. Our blood lead levels were much higher back then.

  5948. Yeah they weren't such great times except the definition of "the good ol' days" is when we were young.

    2
  5959.  @MrShobar  Good question, it has some useful scientific purposes, whether that justifies the price is questionable. I've never been thrilled about it but it's a commitment the US has made w international partners. Only SpaceX can do deliver military satellites above LEO or can reliably even reach LEO. Also vastly cheaper than whatever alternatives may still exist.
    2
  5960. I sure don't want to move to Mars but celebrate others doing so, and it's no one's biz how someone who has created enormous wealth, spends it. Within rational environmental and risks to non-participants.

  5961. Phillip Hickman I don't think he meant "weak God" as much as evil God. He set it up knowing in advance that infants and children were going to be tortured to death by cancer and such and never changed it's mind, apparently enjoys watching folks suffer immeasurably.

  5969.  @doltBmB  Currently CT over 1000 per week, 5X lower than it should be by yr end but good for now. Apparently OP was thinking of GM or Ford. (Not that any thinking actually occurs here, just pointless childish emotions expressed)
    2
  5970.  @anonihme5142  I've been watching this playout for 20 yrs Sport. Like talking to chemtrail folks or Flatearthers. Those bent on any religion are emotionally invested in their willful ignorance, no exception here. Not my obligation to "try" to convince incels of anything.
    2
  5971.  @tjroelsma  Give ONE example of that with evidence that it meets your criteria. (hint: any rational person knows that's false just on the surface of it, spectacular success doesn't happen like that and SpaceX and Tesla are consistently on top of the list for engineering grads seeking employment)

  5974. When it rolled on stage was the only time I literally wished I hadn't bet the ranch on TSLA... however a couple days later and I began to like it, only grown on me since and I've yet to see one in person.

  5980. Semi long been a personal favorite, it's proof of concept in new arena. It can be argued that a personal car purchase is largely an emotional decision, NOT SO for commercial sales which will ruthlessly adhere to the numbers.
    2
  5981.  @GXMAN16  How could it be less than around 3 yrs out? 2.1M preorders and growing (could be much higher by now), say only 1M fill that order--projections of some 150k (high end) for 2024, say 300k in 2025, maybe 500k in 2026?? Could be a 2nd production line to accelerate those numbers especially if demand is high, still leaving a long wait time. Wouldn't be surprised to see 3 or 4M orders by February say.
    2
  5982. Think of any friends/associates who own shares and remind them to vote--2 guys I know wouldn't have even known about the ballot, both voted with my encouragement.

  5983.  @4literv6  Toy and GM never did close to a million out of Fremont plant, Tesla is heading toward 1M and will surpass that. (quick search says Toy made 250k/yr out of Fremont)
    2
  5984.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  Remember how Tesla bought old Fremont plant from GM for a few pennies on the dollar, tho they did gut it of the best machinery first and it was the Great Recession, but that's a likely coming scenario too.
    2
  5985.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  Sure, but if they continue to lose money on those plants? They are compromised, somewhat outdated and inferior to new plants as confirmed by VW building new faculties specific to BEVs while old ones languish. (at least that's my rudimentary understanding, don't focus on or care much about legacies)
    2
  5986. Bet the ranch on it mid 2019--for what it's worth I think next 2 yrs are going to be big. It always takes longer than those of us in the bubble expect, seemed like the epic short squeeze took forever but it was only 6 or 8 months from when I saw it coming.
    2
  5987. As one who followed the Co. for a decade I was risk adverse and waited till 2018 mass production was demonstrated...then bet the ranch mid 2019. Hahaha

  5993.  @tomcrouchman  Typical, I couldn't last a yr there and no question workers get ruined over time, so too for at least lower level management. Entire organization becomes toxic. Once was called out to do some technical repairs on unique RR track maintenance equipment, just a wk or two contract job. There were maybe 40 "men" working that section of track and none could remotely tackle what I was there for but the radios lit up with protests of a non-union, (or not their union I suppose) guy on their job. And what was the alternative? Send the stuff across the nation for the repairs at 10X the cost. And it got worse from there, fortunately the guy who called me in was courageous, hard working get it done sort who would stand up to all the threats from dozens of idiot hardcore unionists.

  5995.  @restonthewind  Tangent--it's going to take most other MFGs yrs to implement FSD after they make a deal with Tesla, they need to integrate the cams, computer and probably the entire car communication system will require replacing, to work with Tesla components. They can't even do over air anything w their current outsourced parts that don't work seamlessly together.
    2
  5996.  @restonthewind  Where is the competition coming from and how long before it's actually "competitive". Of course it will but I don't see anything yet, China I imagine.

  6000. Buy Russian and make it a land of freedom.
    2
  6001.  @JonathanRootD  Likely there would be no Tesla or SpaceX had your ideals been implemented. There has to be high level of economic freedom to allow the likes of Elon to even exist (as we know him) let alone thrive.
    2
  6002. Indeed that was brilliant, not that we should expect less, but still.
    2
  6003. Doubt demand will be that low, 5k is a lot from here.

  6004. Vastly fewer than only a few decades ago. How can you not see that progress, Meritocracy and ethics are the solution, not population collapse.

  6005. Ausi is going Authoritarian, unless you are anticipating backlash to that.

  6006. Amazing that being pro-humanity is controversial, shows how far wrong we've gone.
    2
  6007.  @JamesOliverLindsey  Indeed, the less specific and simpler the better. I'd have none of it except for the need to extricate ourselves from China dependence which is just reckless at this point. Not as tho BEVs need anymore than the economics the market already provides.
    2
  6008.  @NoTimeForThatNow  Such a common scenario, seems the old established and comfortable just can't see or can't risk the new. "Disruption always comes from outside." ...or something to that effect say's Cathie Wood, Tony Seba. Zerox, Kodak, IBM, and now most of legacy autos. Such disruptions do much more than just invent new products and services they also innovate how business can be done. Tesla is altering everything from the bottom job responsibilities to CEO compensation and more.
    2
  6009. Elon the most predictable person ever....open sourced and consistent for half a century and counting. If one doesn't get it that's on THEM.

  6010.  @lachlanB323  Worth calling them out regardless, NO not likely to instantly convince them but possibly induce the reflection that reveals their emotions are in control not their intellect.
    2
  6011. We have similar going on in the USA today, just slightly less obvious.
    2
  6012. This is not different from my decades as a tiny industrial steel contractor. I show up with my expertise and equipment and anyone from equipment operator to manager or company owner works with me to do what needs to be done. Typically I'm there when a big machine or entire operation are shutdown and urgency is in the air.

  6014.  @nickidaisydandelion4044  It's more a test, revelation of character than the creator of character. However--I could have inherited millions from my grandfather and VERY grateful I didn't, at least not receiving it young, it would have destroyed my struggle, motivation to start own biz on shoestring at 20 and everything that went into building my self respect. Likewise smart parents DO NOT make their children's life financially easy, one of most destructive things a parent can do. So how does that map onto a future of abundance and ease? Not sure. Relative attributes will still matter, maybe one will have to demonstrate their metal rock climbing or whatever.

  6015. We'd all be better off at Twitter over the evil Google manipulation and censorship on YT.

  6016. All this refection is healthy but almost none of it would be happening without the stock drop.

  6017.  @jamesbell8861  Just got your other post, spot on. He has NEVER been a popularity contestant, does what he sees as best for humanity and usually right. When was he NOT up against that wall of criticism from somewhere? Tesla sphere highly overlaps the Leftist silo, it's not remotely representative of the broader nation that are cheering on Elon for 1st time.
    2
  6018. I missed the polls (couldn't decide on his CEO ask) but I LOVE everything he's doing at Twitter, saving the nation frankly. Would have voted YES on your polls.

  6019.  @terryeasterday580  Cringy territory there. I don't think so, conflict of interest, bad optics and not Tesla style.
    2
  6020.  @Jasona1976  Hear ya. Still love my 2011 E92 M3, hope to keep indefinitely even as fuel becomes difficult to find and expensive. Won't likely ever spend much on ICE again, be a Tesla next.

  6021. This is by far the most archaic Tesla factory. Appreciate the vid, just say'n.

  6023.  @gandalf_the_pink-k  Thanks for the tip!

  6024.  @gandalf_the_pink-k  I see, thanks. I grow a little cane in my modest yard, didn't even know it was possible here in farther N. Commifornia, but of course there are many varieties, I tried 2, one failed the other thrives on neglect, little water required which is important for me. Nice green 'fence'. Like to grow as many eatables as possible.

  6025. Economics can sort it all out. Your imagination isn't relevant here.
    2
  6026. Nukes are good but so can be wind. More CO2 is probably good too, contrary to popular mythology and hysteria.
    2
  6027. As a kid we'd often spend a fall day in the pinon forests around 7k ft. altitude to harvest these nuts. Fresh soft and wet are an entirely different animal, nothing like the crap you can buy dried. Pinons are nothing like the trees shown here tho and the nuts are different. Pinons are not very tall but dense and bushy, we'd spread tarps below and bash the cones out of tree. Some yrs the cones were sparse and not very productive other yrs were extremely laden with cones and nuts. Anyway we'd have buckets of nuts for the winter and have baggies of them in our school lunches.

  6028. Y has some major innovations--reduction of wire harness by an 'order of magnitude' for one.

  6029. @Zach's Shack Sounds appropriate, so to speak. Note of caution--dad was an economic geologist and spent time underground, hard rock mine. They had earmuffs mounted on hardhat he'd use (maybe not as good as today's versions) and he still lost all his high notes by mid age and was too vain to get a hearing aid till death at 82. Couldn't here birds chirping or half of the classical music he enjoyed. Granted when your in a tunnel with air powered rock drills hammering steel to steel to rock--it's damn loud, he had the attitude that "I can take a little pain" but it doesn't pay to be tough in some ways. He SHOULD have had both plugs AND muffs. I've always relied just on plugs but rarely worked underground and not around drillers.
    2
  6030. @Zach's Shack Yup, not universal tho and after over 4 decades in heavy industry my hearing is still excellent as I protect it as a matter of disciplined routine.
    2
  6031. @Zach's Shack NOT A CHANCE. lol ALL of them have significant hearing and vision damage doing things that way, those unlucky will lose an eye or worse.

  6032. OSHA would paint everything dayglow warning colors between plastered warning labels and have 40 sirens going off constantly, call it GOOD.

  6033. Stanley Meyer was a fraud as anyone who knows anything about nature would instantly see. He was convicted of fraud and left the country tho his foolish "investors" had reason to want him dead. Free energy is a fantasy, GOOD GRIEF.
    2
  6034. 16:30 "unlimited free energy" is utter nonsense, doubt Tesla ever said that, if so he had lost his mind.
    2
  6035.  @JakeFresno  BTW--we are animals, does your fantasy god "want us to be vegetables"? I know many preachers want that so they can tap our wallets easier, but no real god would ask that. That's hilarious.
    2
  6036.  @JakeFresno  How the hell would U know what Zeus says about anything? That's the most arrogant nonsense I've ever heard. Did it come to U in a dream or under hallucinating substance?
    2
  6037.  @JakeFresno  Correct, evolution and creation are separate things. Abiogenesis is a big mystery for which "creation" only makes fantastically more unwieldy bc it requires the creation of a creator vastly more complex than the first organisms we know of. We have endless evidence for evolution, it's absurdly obvious, while abiogenesis is still highly perplexing. Given the inevitability of panspermia the stage for original cells is literally astronomic. Akums razor says it's a natural phenomena, but who knows, maybe Thor, Zeus, Apollo or The American Great Spirit dun it.
    2
  6038.  @JakeFresno  Yeah Bo was my joke name prompted by silly YT, then somehow my X account spilled over to here. IDK or care how that works.
    2
  6039.  @JakeFresno  HA! And what koolaid have YOU fallen victim to? Biology and evolution are what they are, we all rely on them everyday and especially w modern medicine which is entirely based on it. Do you go to a faith healer or a regular doctor? Did God come from sludge or an infinite regression of other gods? Earth is riding on the back of a turtle, "it's turtles all the way down." :D)
    2
  6040.  @JakeFresno  Yeah actually geologist figure out stuff that happened 100's of millions of yrs ago, that's how we find ore bodies and oil reserves, origins of volcanism, plate tectonics, etc. Plenty is known even before Earth existed. As to this particular example I'd defer to a good geologists analysis, likely not a big mystery. But HEY--no opportunity to capitalize on naïve YT audience is left alone!

    2
  6043.  @Corteum  Are there drones that can travel 3000 miles on a charge with all that?
    2
  6044.  @Corteum  Imagine attempting to survey the continental USA from the oceans around it, going to take one hell of a drone to penetrate very far.
    2
  6045.  @felix-eeee  I see. Only recently learned you have some of 'our' Cali redwoods, modest groves semi wild. Much of what we do should be for future generations. I don't consider 2000/3000 yr old trees to be a renewable recourse, takes too long to replicate obviously. A shame so much has been lost including other giant tree species, similar in size to redwoods but farther north. (as well as in many parts of the world of course) All we can do is preserve what's left and promote gradual long term expansion of similar.

  6049.  @sprinkleddonuts6094  I'm not shopping, last time I researched the hell out of BMW E92 M3, spent 6 wks shopping the West Coast for one, bought one and done. That was 6 yrs ago. Hope to run it indefinitely. Market for XYZ vehicle is what it is, I wouldn't know or much care.
    2
  6050. 30 thousand of that 167 thousand miles were racked up running it thru auctions. 😉
    2
  6051. It's a depreciating "asset" (really a liability), if you can't pay for it twice in cash you can't afford it.
    2
  6052. An interesting old sales strategy: Start at price X and subtract Y dollars every day until sold, sort of an automatic auction in reverse.

  6053. It's a liability but still has equity short of being totaled.

  6057.  @Pleasiotic1  Sure you could say net worth, and make the case that interest payments is more than offset by investment gains. But that's not the reality of most ppl buying new cars and when it is--the wealthy person could easily pay up front multiple times over.
    2

  6063.  @larrybruce4856  How about a $35k Tesla? Teslas are vastly superior to any ICE car in very cold conditions. This "news" is laughable propaganda. I used to take 30 minutes thawing out my work truck in the morning, just idling losing range before I could drive. With a Tesla you just preheat from your phone, minimal lost energy and no wasted time.
    2
  6064. If any of these Teslas are actually dead it's due to clueless drivers, they have batt thermal management systems, much better to be in a Tesla than any ICE in those conditions.

    2
  6074. These fires are primarily all about wild land mismanagement, fire is normal and natural, healthy when it happens frequently enough, every few yr.s, but we have prevented them and now the fuel load, brush etc., has become so thick it takes out EVERYTHING instead of simply keeping the forest open as it did prior to a century or so ago. Native Americans would set fires seasonally and this never happened. It's very telling that some species of trees REQUIRE FIRE before they will seed in these areas. (pardon me taking a joke post seriously but the reality needs to be understood)
    2
  6075. NOT to be callous but this was not unexpected, this was inevitable. How many times before we are motivated to deal with the fuel load?
    2
  6076.  @4AK5  The primary problem is that these wild lands were MEANT to burn almost annually there by keeping them open, healthy and with low levels of brush to fuel the fires, nothing like what we see today where you can't even walk through the forests in many places. Over a century ago this never happened, Native Americans would set fires seasonally and otherwise lightning would take care of it. Some species off these trees can't even seed until fire passes below them, frequent fire is an essential element. When fire is frequent it doesn't damage healthy large trees and it never becomes catastrophic as it does today after decades of mismanagement. Native trees in these areas often have highly fire resistant bark--take a look at a Jeffery Pine for example, that bark can easily be several inches thick or more and it's essentially impossible to burn there by protecting the tree. Fire is OBVIOUSLY naturally common. It's crucial to understand the situation before we can deal with it in a productive fashion.

  6077.  @naomijohnson6797  Good GRIEF. Are you seriously naive enough to give any credence to THAT sort of childish ignorance?? No offense but THAT sort of bullshit is extremely unhelpful. It doesn't matter HOW they start , something will inevitably start them, it's all about decades of fuel build up in the wild lands, something that was never a problem until modern times when we put out every fire. Frequent fire is essential for healthy forests, if burned off frequently the fires are non threatening and GOOD for the forests in multiple ways, they burn low and slow not fazing the big healthy trees and not particularly dangerous to people nor animals plus controlling insect pests. It's only after decades of unchecked brush growth that allows for these devastating fires.
    2
  6078. The SITUATION is man made yes. Over a century ago it was normal for these wild lands to burn off semi-regularly, Native Americans would set fires seasonally keeping the forests open and healthy preventing excess fuel load to build up, otherwise lightning would do the trick. Some tree species require fire before they will seed. It's trivial how they start it's ALL about how we have gotten to the stage where they are catastrophic instead of cleansing, clearing the brush without taking out the large healthy trees. At this point it's one disaster after another waiting to happen, eventually we may be motivated to deal with it better I HOPE. SO predictable.

  6079. Something I noticed decades ago: Americans who have nothing good to say about our country haven't traveled much. Same goes for mindless patriots who see nothing wrong with it except for the others who do see room for improvement.

  6085. We need that for the entire state. I'm not optimistic but there have been precedents of the pendulum swinging the other way--R. Reagan, Arnold.....even the Duke.
    2
  6086. Easy to romanticize about the past but it was FAR worse overall 50 yrs ago--our rivers were so polluted they'd catch fire, cities were burning from race riots and the war against the Vietnam war, murder, rape and violent crime was 2X worse. Don't even think about admitting you are gay, everyone was much poorer.

  6088. Unfortunately for ME as a farther NorCali "lifer" (re-thinking that now) it must be the same one's who want to overhaul Cali government who are leaving 1st. I lean Libertarian, I'd start with a shocking slashing of regulations and regulators and cleaning up the streets, NO easy choices for homeless but status quo is not an option.

How often do YOU make a tiny effort to talk to the neighbors, wave and smile going down the street, maybe pass around excess produce from your yard (I do that all the time). Take responsibility for your local scene! Instead you (most youth) are so buried in their stupid phone they don't notice the car that runs over them let alone be engaging and friendly.

  6096.  @paulbradford6475  Even if they secretly envy and fawn over the likes of Elon--it would be political suicide to as much as acknowledge a "billionaire" (which is effectively the N-word for success, open bigotry like we haven't seen since 1950's Deep South) in a positive context. She knows her base are indoctrinated in unstated zero sum "economics" , false social justice...devalued freedom and liberty and acceptance of authoritarianism. Interesting that the same ppl also covet money most and are projecting their own unscrupulous nature on their betters.

  6099. As one who hitchhiked a lot from 10 to 25 yrs old. (USA, cultures may vary) Few critical rules I learned:::: FACE traffic at all times, walk backwards if you must walk, make eye contact w every driver! (don't want back to traffic anyway) Eyes convey character, hiker assessing driver and especially driver assessing hiker. Far harder to pass by after face to face contact. ATTITUDE is critical, bad attitude can come from long wait, but U can't fake it, must maintain genuine positive attitude. No one wants to associate with a downer. (((just realized that sounds like a job interview or similar, applies generally, except for the backwards part, HA!))) Obviously--be together, clean, grateful, friendly, run for a car that stops long (jog more likely), don't make them wait, treat with due deference to acceptance of charity. Usually they will like conversation so be good at that, lol. I've been known to pick up hitchhiker's to help keep me alert when sleepy, in part.

  6106.  @itekani  There was a murder in the parking lot at Tesla last yr. How many murders did you have in your driveway recently? Why don't you Google how many suicide per 1000 happen in, say San Francisco, then multiply it by 3X for a better estimate for current Shanghai situation and see how many would be expected.
    2
  6107.  @MyUniversalUniversity  Big yawn for me, this sort of thing happens so often it's normally not even reported, sort of like traffic accidents or opioid overdose deaths.
    2
  6108. Is that significant? Out of tens of thousands of workers stuff is going to happen.
    2
  6109.  @point-blank3369  A pertinent tangent: Rivian had roughly the same operation costs as Tesla last quarter, as hard to imagine as that is. Starting off with deep pockets has a major downside in that it avoids the necessity to be lean and mean, Tesla struggled for a decade just to survive, pinching pennies is in their DNA.
    2
  6110.  @point-blank3369  The problem is that the entire ICE "assets" are actually a liability, same with stealerships. Only a few yrs from now no one will want to buy a NEW ICE car. This is just another Apple vs all the rest except even bigger motes for Tesla, winner takes most there will still be a dozen folks wanting a Blackberry or Toyota. Legacies have been dumb, they earned their demise and it's healthy, creative destruction. Unless China invades Taiwan say, or continues the lockdown insanity, only they will give Tesla a real run for their money. Ford has a nice work truck in the Lightening, it will sell but they can't make many, aren't even planning to. Rivian has a good sports truck (not a work truck) but both of those are likely to lose money for some time to come and struggle with mass production. Toy? snicker snicker, they like BMW (fan of BMW, have two of them, also fan of Honda and Toy for their past, not their future) still planning to build ICE into 2035 or '40! Good Grief that's ridiculous. BMW is actually one of the leaders among German brands for EVs, VW doing it's best might survive or merge with BM, Merc....as they all dramatically downsize.
    2
  6111. They are made in China by Chinese companies, right? Toy is TOAST. :D

  6126. 16 to 17yr old I bike toured 4200 miles, central California to tip of Alaska and back, the long way. We traveled a LOT LIGHTER, no front saddlebags, just heavy stuff between handlebars, minimal rear bags with sleeping bag on top. Carried parts and tools for everything we could, spokes, chain links, cables.... All had spare tire figure 8 around sleeping bag. I broke rear derailleur chain tension spring just out of Canada going S, in minutes bro and I fashioned Bunge cord to nylon string to derailer for chain tension, worked so well I rode it home next 2 wks.

  6132.  @Bernd-b1y  And then there's the autonomous factor, not going to argue about it, but IMO only Tesla is about to have it licked and no one will want a car that can't drive itself, by end of decade. Granted all other mass market MFGs will be able to license FSD from Tesla, T will take most of the profits as they should.
    2
  6133.  @Bernd-b1y  Which of the legacy brands can survive and how? Sad in a way, love my old BMWs, but they are too little innovation, TOO late, too burdened with crippling unions, senseless bureaucracy and outdated cultures. You won't be saying that in 2030.
    2
  6134. Must diversify away from the CCP dependence. They're global market share just took a long term hit. Was painful reducing Saudi oil dependence in 1970's, they embargoed USA, caused a recession. But never again so beholden to Saudis. Global free trade good when dealing with stable nations of similar values, solid trade agreement countries, others operating mostly legally.

  6160.  @patrickcorcoran4828  I skimmed the entire 200 pgs and the judge tipped her hand repeatedly, starting w 1st sentence, invoking Elon's wealth as tho that were even a consideration. She admitted she didn't have squat to go on. She had decided before hand the verdict then tried to justify the unjustifiable. WE the shareholders knew exactly what we were voting for and it paid off incredibly well for us, Elon did the impossible at great personal cost. So the judge insults us as "'too dumb to understand the BOD, etc.'" Then punishes the crap out of us. NO WAY this Commie judgement is based on law, the pay pkg was the most properly aligned with shareholders ever, no other CEO would ever agree to it as he got zero before doubling the market cap. Both Elon and Kimbal abstained from the vote, the pkg was brilliantly constructed and WE agreed to it! In what universe is reneging on that OK??

  6176.  @Eternamusic425  Tangent--if you can't pay twice for it in CASH you can't afford it. I've never made a solitary monthly car payment in 45 yrs of auto and motorcycle driving. (exception for one essential business truck I paid off early, not a discressionary item)
    2
  6177.  @Eternamusic425  It's not free anywhere. Drive cheap old ICE for few more yrs, by then very good 2nd hand BEVs will be available and most economic ever if you drive more than say--8k per yr. No major transition happens overnight. Depreciation is number one cost of a new car, never buy new until financially flush w everything else taken care of.
    2
  6178. What do you care about what the government knows or does in this regard? Train has left the station, the market has preselected BEV future, it's over.
    2
  6179. Tesla phone? NO...well outside their primary focus and market already well served. Makes zero sense except to cater to dumb kids who can't afford a car and wanting the brand. It'd be mediocre product diminishing the brand.
    2
  6180.  @thomasruwart1722  I've contracted for "a thousand" outfits over the yrs and I can typically smell union mentality immediately. It corrodes the entire enterprise top to bottom, with rare exceptions. Causes endless petty conflicts and distraction, wasted energy and focus. As a shareholder and concerned citizen I loath the idea of a unionized Tesla but it doesn't seem likely anytime soon.
    2
  6181.  @thomasruwart1722  True. Culture is incredibly important and Elon seems to have about the best priorities ever to that end. Some do get burned out but one engineer who quit due to Tesla hrs and demands came back bc "I'd rather be burned out than bored." Contrary to popular notions they retain their top tier staff considerably longer than average of Silicon Valley firms. Some quit bc they have become rich off the stock options.
    2
  6182.  @thomasruwart1722  Tesla and SpaceX consistently rank 1st and 2nd or 3rd top choice for graduating engineers. Some 2M applied for 20k openings at Tesla last yr, far harder to get into than Harvard. They have the pick of the very best and exceptional fundamental selection methodology. Plus a CEO who knows how to motivate and get the most out of them, no hierarchy or "chain of command" interference to efficiency--they go straight to the most pertinent person to solve problems.
    2
  6183. Issue is data security in regards to FSD, if it must be trained on US based super computers, and it does--data must be transferred. Chinese auto is expected to have sophisticated software, so Tesla at a disadvantage there. BYD will probably never have such permission from USA, nor should they.
    2
  6184. With new improved versions coming out the 2nd hand market should blossom some. Been a long time that Hondas and Toyotas have dominated trade ins for Teslas, if factoring in depreciation, normally the biggest cost for a new car, and if you drive enough miles, the lower end BEV can easily pencil out. Who'd want a new ICE is what I wonder.
    2
  6185. Maybe although they only claimed to be building them in Sparks.

  6186. This was inevitable and yes competition is not only good but essential. (not thrilled as TSLA LT investor but that's OK)

  6187.  @GET2222  Be an interesting experiment to take random modern truck, fill the tires most of the way with water (leave some air space for cushion) and drive it on a washboard road, potholes, etc. See what all that unsuspended mass does to the ride quality, handling, and so on. Last place I want the motors is inside the wheels.

Today it's the Elizabeth Warren's, politicians and crony capitalists that deserve such derision, most wealthy earned it.

    2
  6204. FAR bigger opportunity for Tesla is when all the big MFGs begin to license FSD software and maybe associated hardware as well.
    2
  6205. More like tipping decade but close enough. We all expected this and it won't be entirely predictable or consistent, oil price may collapse and EV shortages will demand high prices, ICE mfgs may offer fire sales, in the short run. For those watching this automotive revolution, the most economic thing might be to keep their old ICE cars on the road for a few more yrs. That '90's Civic may be cheaper to own/operate for a while still, just bc it's worth 40 or $60k less and that money is better invested elsewhere...fewer miles driven can tip the scale....one who only drives 2k miles/yr, say, should maintain and run old Honda for much of this decade, run it into the ground then buy cheap used EV. Invest in TSLA instead. ;-) (I sure don't want another $60k sitting in my drive next to my ol' BMWs, HA!)

  6221.  @markvalery8632  The point being that CO2 is NOT remotely the driver of climate, it's a trace gas crucial to life on Earth with minor greenhouse contribution that diminishes in additional effect as it increases, that is to say doubling it does not double the effect as that sliver of the radiant heat blockage is already largely occupied. Water vapor is 70% of the greenhouse effect. YD saw 12C swings in a mater of decades or centuries, today we fret over 1.5C over a century, not saying we shouldn't, just perspective and proving that climate is not determined by anthropogenic CO2. Climate is scary as hell having nothing to do with humanity. Record keeping (sparse as it was at the time) started at the coldest time in the last 10,000 yrs coincidentally, around 1880's, based on ice cores and sediment analysis.

  6222.  @markvalery8632  Recent couple decades is laughable compared to Younger Dryass, I guess those stone age SUVs were really busy 13k yrs ago. There is nothing special about recent decades other than CO2 increase which is a bit player in climate, not remotely THE driver. What is the ideal CO2 level if we could just flip a switch?

  6225. More like the reverse of that, Dems were attacking Elon and Co first. All Tesla would have to do is pass some envelopes of cash around to key characters in DC, like everyone else does. Biden can be bought on the cheap but has been owned by the UAW mafia and other interests for decades. And Tesla is better than that. Imagine the childish, tribal self centered mentality of the Dems you refer to! Laughable that they care about climate, ecology, let alone justice or American viability/vitality and strength.

Fuel tanker in US lit off under overpass causing collapse, concrete will spall or weakly explode in pockets, and of course if time allows for rebar to heat enough, it loses essentially all it's strength and concrete without rebar has near zero tensile strength. Collapse is inevitable in either case.

  6247.  @MrMichaelBCurtis  No one is getting away with out so called Rare Earths. I imagine you have a cell phone? Price swings in the last 18 months are not a great indicator of much, oil went to negative value last yr, NatGas is up 300% now, on and on. The supply chain for EVERYTHING has problems!!! Your problem is some sort of emotional fixation against something that's new and dramatically better, tossing up every nonsense road block to EVs you ever heard of. Do you really enjoy oil changes, engine and transmission repair bills and the smell of exhaust that much? Meanwhile the WORLD IS SWITCHING to BEVs, like it or not your petrol is going to become range anxiety inducing as it becomes rare and expensive while charging options become ubiquitous and quick.. Keep an eye on Norway and others going to near 100% EV for new sales by next yr. See if their grid collapses and they all die.
    2
  6248.  @MrMichaelBCurtis  You are way out of date on this. Batts are being profitably recycled reclaiming 98% of the metals they are made of and they aren't toxic unless you are referring to old lead acid ones. That's laughable. Iron and lithium are in abundant supply and while FeLi batts won't serve all applications they will for most. Ni is the only significant limiting factor on the resource front, there will be pressure on nickel this decade which will be foreseeably required for higher E-density applications like a semi truck where mass is critical and, obviously, aircraft. Cobalt is nearly eliminated from new Tesla batts and apparently not essential even in tiny quantities. Most cobalt today is consumed (not recyclable) in oil refining, clearly that use will fade to zero. Sometime, maybe next decade, mining batt minerals will likely languish as recycling will replace most of the need for new metals. A lot more electric will be required, even more than when air conditioning came about increasing demand some 30% in a matter of yrs, more like 100% over some 15yrs. Fortunately we have more viable alternatives today then ever including safe nukes. I will be one of many who runs off my own roof and batt packs enough for home and a car or two. Batts have followed Wright's Law, cost coming down some 20% for each doubling of production, the metals part of the price is not close to the total cost of fabricating batts. Price will continue to plunge leveling out well below the cost of an ICE engine in a matter of yrs. 1st Tesla roadster had a $100k batt pack, today far superior packs are some 8 or $10k. That will become 5k before you know it.
    2
  6249.  @MrMichaelBCurtis  1200 mile range is a total waste, we don't even bother doing that with ICE which is vastly less damaging to efficiency than doing it with batts. Solid state isn't necessary. There are already the best option for most ppl and will be the poor mans only choice in a few yrs.

  6253.  @boballen9095  Friction should be very low, on the order of a couple %, just a cable over a sheave. Losses will be from motor/generators and electrical which might be on the order of 10% round trip. A lot better than pumping water uphill or compressing air in a cavern. So it's down to initial costs and maintenance, mainly capital upfront. Could be viable at first glance, no blatant deal breakers.

  6258. With some 2M preorders, possibly much more by now, it's going to be yrs before they get to a single motor variant, unless LFPs are only used in single motor rig and they have enough to do everything else too. 2 wheel drive is much less appropriate for a truck than a car, possibly they'll never make one.
    2
  6259.  @qilu2004  Got a spare $1M or so? Those ALSO handle poorly compared to, say my 3300 or 3500lb BMWs (those be better lighter too), due to mass and trade offs between cushy ride and handling. Naturally fat tires also a factor and not optional for a truck used as a truck. CT should be able to do decent in both categories with multiple suspension settings, just not great handling (truck drivers don't care much) and not both at same setting, one or the other.
    2
  6260.  @adorolivar1340  Merc would handle better, turn and stop more competently if it were lighter. SURE it's far more expensive including the suspension, crucially it should have roughly 50/50 wt. distribution, rear drive and so on, so it will outperform an econobox. It's just not AS good as it would be by being lighter. Talk to anyone with a lot of track experience how well the, Model S say, hides it's extra ton over conventional sports cars. Does admirably, like an obese woman with a girdle, lol. Plaid with track package is very impressive but still can't hide the wt penalty. BEVs are relatively easy to design 50/50 balanced, one major advantage.
    2
  6261. Extra mass is a negative for cars in every way but one--colliding with other vehicles, colliding with a large tree or fixed object, mass has no advantage. Bad for efficiency, handling, braking, acceleration.....claiming it's because it's "built better" is rubbish.

  6285. "Computers on wheels" regardless of drivetrain type, is new to them. Ford's Jim Farley says they have some 150 separately proprietary programmed components that Ford has to somehow integrate in one vehicle, they can't do anything by themselves, have to work with suppliers to make smallest changes, that's cumbersome as hell. Of course they are not proficient at software anyway.

  6286.  @mrnobody.4069  Solar can be free on the margin, it'll never be free, but eventually very cheap. It will always cost something significant to mfg, install, maintain and replace. I welcome fusion tech for eventual space travel utility say, but that's likely a century away. Also for the science and tech advancements in general. Seriously doubt it will ever compete with 'indirect fusion', aka., solar on Earth, simply due to capital cost. Unless one of the alternative long shot attempts succeeds, these tokomaks seem inherently extremely expensive.
    2
  6287. Anytime you hear "free energy" you know it's at least partly BS. Free as in the 'fuel' is free like a solar cell at best, solar cells as relatively cheap as they've become are far from free and this idea, if it works, won't be free either.
    2
  6288.  @gangleweed  Sure. To say it's the poor man's choice is just a way to emphasize the ultimate in utilitarian economy. ALL such folks will be significantly better off with total auto operating cost 1/4 what they've ever had available. Already for those who really rack up the miles, a 40 or $50k car payment is paid for by gasoline savings. Uber drivers say. When you can buy a nice one for $15k and find your "fueling" and maintenance costs slashed with 130MPGe? That's a fat savings for extra beer and cigs. HA!
    2
  6289.  @MorriesWigShop  Nah...You are inventing problems that won't exist. New batts will last longer than the car with very few exceptions. And you aren't going to be "refurbishing" a 5 or $7k batt pack anyway. Even a pack designed to be worked on will require too much labor and expertise for that. "Pivoting away" is silly notion, like I said in a worse case (probably not going to happen) a blade pack will only have a slightly different mass, 100% interchangeable as far as the car is concerned. I seriously doubt seats and carpet are an issue. Do you worry about your $50 batt in your $500 phone being replaceable? I don't but then I don't live on my phone either.

Imagine the fuel and maintenance savings, who cares if the windows are powered or there's extra software you don't use. I wouldn't be w/o powered windows simply bc I can't reach any except the drivers, NOT acceptable today even for a cheapy. T2 class to be the poor man's only choice in several yrs on the used market.

  6295.  @simontideswell1728  The problem is everyone else but you wants those "unnecessary" things. But give it time and niche markets like that will likely be served, to some degree, it doesn't pay to have a special option list for you and a dozen other folks on Earth.

  6320. Maybe but losing money on every sale isn't sustainable. Tesla changed focus to it's most popular lucrative product the Y, probably not a bad decision.

Some of the features from GM and F point out deficiencies in the CT, I assume Tesla is adding some highly desirable features not yet revealed.

  6344. A segment of Leftists are frankly weirdos who harbor notions like irrational diversity requirements, and of course the Woke Mob. No small number of original Tesla fans are in those/that camp. They think social justice is about results instead of merit and achievement unfortunately.

  6347. No. It's about fundamental economics and limits of nature. H2 fundamentally fails on economics. You can't engineer yourself in to any dream you can imagine.

  6361.  @Ghosy01  Do you know anything significant about the CT? DeLorean was a common mediocre car with poor performance for it's day, with only styling cues, SS and unique doors setting it apart. Won't be long before CT aesthetics are common, to the extent they are driven by utility they will be widely respected if not always loved. Beetle was weird for it's entire half century run, sold by the 10's of millions. Millions of CT orders is what it is, 500k/yr doesn't look like enough.

  6368. There will be some rehires no doubt, Elon's method says that if you don't delete so many parts that you have to replace 10% you haven't deleted enough. Similar for staff.
    2
  6369.  @tatata1543  How long have you followed Tesla and Elon? Does BYD actually offer competitive cars? They don't even outsell Tesla in CHINA, even with major CCP cash subsidies. If when they build in Mexico they are going to face a host of new issues, they are heavily dependent on cheap labor vs automation and the US won't just let them bury US legacy auto that easy. BYD reviews are mixed, some are even front drive which is rubbish. IF BYD can compete it Euro and N. America is yet to be proven. If Mr. T. wins, no MFG outside the US will have much of a chance. Regardless, BYD spokeswoman says it's not about to happen.
    2
  6370.  @tatata1543  And WHEN are other MFGs going to sell significant cars in USA? US legacies are not about to, Japan? Nope. Europe?? Not really, China not anytime soon. Maybe Costa Rica will compete with Tesla.
    2
  6371.  @Battleneter  HOW LONG have you been involved in this? Obviously you are not mentally equipped to handle it if this sort of thing panics you. I've been thru far harder times just in last 6 yrs, it was harder still before that. Did you think it was going to be EASY? Did you think easy money was ever possible??
    2
  6372. It'll happen but it may require early adaptors to make substantial presence first, many in the US don't charge anywhere but at home for yrs at a stretch. Yes that means limited utility in the short term but most have more than one car, the other can be ICE for now.

  6379. And a "burst" isn't in the cards, way to wide for that, it's going to overtop and erode through somewhat gradually. Not to suggest complacency but this is NOT like a manmade earthen dam which is as narrow as possible hence erodes down fast.

  6380. In N. California rice farmers attract 100s of thousands of wild geese, the fields that get worked over have no leftover straw and the field is fertilized and in good shape for coming season. Stark difference from fields that (often for unknown reasons) don't attract the birds.

  6381. Curious to think that all those forests can only be around 14k yrs old as ice sheets covered the land prior, hopeful for the future at least until the next glacial maximum destroys everything again.

  6385.  @saragrant9749  Best to avoid any outfit that's unionized regardless. It may be that management was crap enough to deserve it, otherwise the pettiness simply infects management after unionized. Entering the environment later it doesn't really matter which came first, it's toxic and counterproductive either way. A worker who has bothered to make themselves valuable can easily opt out of any task they see and excessively hazardous without negative consequences and any management that doesn't respect that isn't worth working for. Hard to replace workers have endless options. If the above still doesn't suit you--create your own darn job, start a business, nasty union culture induced me to start tiny contracting biz at 20, the only good thing I got out of union. I started working there at 17 (technically illegal) but no one noticed. Gained a lot of crucial experience in few yrs and good memories with the bad...moved on never looked back.
    2
  6386.  @hugolafhugolaf  Indeed--many make a career out of nothing but fighting management and avoiding being terminated.

  6393.  @PJRayment  We use the term "religion" as a pejorative in everyday life most of the time, "wokism", Marxism, climate-ism, etc., and rightly so. It means said beliefs are based on indoctrination not reason and evidence. The only religions we don't deride for irrationality is the ones WE were indoctrinated with.
    2
  6394.  @PJRayment  There are thousands of gods, each as likely as the next to be real. If U only subscribe to 1, or 3 as in the case of Christianity, you are 99.9% as much an Atheist as anyone on Earth.

Nothing wrong with attempting to dissuade others from doing reckless things but plenty wrong with preventing them. It's why I've always worn seatbelts and helmets but loath laws mandating such. Have to allow failure to maximize room for success and being stupid should have consequences.

  6412.  @chrishernandez3473  Bottom line: CO2 is important but FAR from the driver of climate. I've studied the data extensively to come to that conclusion. By far the primary greenhouse gas is water vapor. I'd ask anyone--what is the ideal CO2 level for Earth? It woud be an astounding coincodince if 280ppm, a near all time extreme low, happened to be best for humanity as tho Earth were made for us. (granted we were made for Earth) During recent glacial maximums that meant terrifically dangerously low levels of around 180ppm. Mass plant life extinction is expected around 100 to 150, that would mean the end of everything that matters. To me it's clear that current levels are much better than prior to industrialization, definitely greening the planet, increasing crop yields and reducing water requirements. That does not mean 1000ppm would be OK. Will 500 or 600ppm (where I believe we will settle at prior to complete obsolecence of fossils) prevent the next glacial maximum?? No one can say bc the models do NOT WORK. Suffice to say that colder is far more scary than warmer, humanity has always suffered when temps were lower, not even considering the terrific devastation of glacial maximums.
    2
  6413.  @TheRexTera  Interesting idea. Traditionally higher ed was a launching point to a productive life and caught young minds that are most agile and robust. Note how most genius advancement happens in relative youthfulness. How about having a yr of real work on the 'farm' (mines, ranch, factory....) required as part of the curriculum? I put self thru starting at an underground mine then my itty bitty contracting biz, that keeps one grounded (accidental pun).

  6429.  @otakoedits  It may sound odd but there is a way anyone who has Sierra Nevada Brew available CAN HELP, I don't expect it but putting it out there--Ken Groseman (founder and owner of the brewery) has started a new Resilience IPA with all sales going to a fire victim fund, he's also asking for donations from suppliers of hops, etc., and for other breweries to do something similar. Purchase that beer and the money goes to Camp Fire victims fund. (Ken was displaced himself since his residence was in the burn zone, I don't know if he was burned out too, I hope not he has gone over the top to do everything he can for everyone else.)

  6430. Thanks from NorCali. I think we are going to do fine and make some significant changes to wild land management, housing building standards (reduce flammability), etc. So often it takes disasters to get things done unfortunately.

  6431. Some 50,000 of them, overwhelmed the capacities of nearby towns. Chico citizens and businesses (not to neglect other areas also) have done a fantastic job of taking care of evacuees the best they can, donations of everything from food, shelter, restaurants giving them free meals, local Sierra Nevada Brewery setting up huge funds and feeding them, thousands of displaced/rescued pets being taken care of by volunteers with donated pet food poring in, on and on and on. That a few thousand are left outside after all motels and rentals and private homes are maxed out isn't too bad. No it can never be enough but people have really stepped up.

  6434.  @riverbankfisher  I'm no longer THAT fit at 61, but always been able to run decently (climb trees or whatever) and slim at least. Seems something about winging it that encourages high risk when it could be, maybe--moderate risk. Have brother who has been seriously hangliding since late 1970's, that can be done as safe as any sort of private flight and often is. Don't think wingsuit can be done that safely but cutting things close is for sure eventually going to end badly. Respect for personal choice in the matter regardless. SURE rather have Potter as a friend than a couch potato.

  6435. Far more respect for Potter than the half million who choose death every yr in the USA instead of avoiding junk food and exercising moderately.

  6436.  @goldenclaw1133  NO shame! SpaceX managed to get Starlink terminals to Ukraine by the truckloads in a matter of days but that's a very different situation. (and Russia threatened Elon's life for it) I wouldn't rule out finding away for you all too but it's going to be much harder.

  6437. Wild lands mismanagement sets the stage and nature will ignite it eventually with catastrophic consequences if we don't do it first. These lands were born to burn it's NOT OPTIONAL, many species including redwoods cannot exist without fire it's an essential element of the land. Quit being so childishly manipulated by obsolete mainstream media, aka., fake news. Lightening is not new.

Many native tree species including our beloved redwoods cannot exist without fire ! This must be understood.

  6440. @Henry Nahorski Really? But their religion has zero compunction about trash talking my lack of religion CONSTANTLY, as a matter of church policy, and we take that for granted. Better get used to some blow back, some of us have had our fill of being victimized by the crap and we don't feel we have the luxury to be meek about it. And I'm not calling the individuals bad just the faith involved, where as they claim we are personally inferior if not "the devil". So YEAH...I have an obligation to tell it as I see it.

  6441.  @babeno3777  Is ignorance bliss? I bet YOU'd know! :D I'm actually bowing constantly to over 2000 gods, each as likely to be real as the next just to cover my bases. How about you? What if you got the wrong one, odds are you have. Have you bowed to Zeus, Apollo, Thor, .....JeezAss... the list is nearly endless! SERIOUSLY::: I'm a good person, far from perfect but better than any god I've ever had described to me, so there is no need to fear a just God If I was God I'd SO disrespect all the cowards bowing down to me out of fear or in hope of rewards. That's so goddamned pathetic, truly disgusting. You should be ashamed for pandering to God like that, it's so transparent and INSULTING.
    2
  6442.  @TTownTim  OK. How about this: Abrahamic religions drastically cheapen life on Earth, degrade humanity, undermine the moral fabric of society and personal responsibility. It's high time to out grow bronze age dogmas (any and all dogmas) and instead embrace the effort and necessity of thoughtful consideration and empiricism. Quit being intellectually lazy, its down right dangerous, and in this instance, disrespectful of the individual being addressed in the video.

  6466.  @chrisose  Some of us fangirls tune in to you trucking operators for a reality check and appreciate the input. If you purchase and operate 'em you should at least welcome more options and competition in that space I'd imagine. I have long expected T semis to be first only used for shorter hauling, some operators say they don't see any major problems for that purpose. Later as batt mass continues to decrease they will become viable for long range. The tech is not static, it will improve rapidly. One thing I've wondered about but haven't heard mentioned is driver tire wear--I used to have a trucking customer who would check the drive tires when one came in to see how hard it had been driven. With the extreme torque/acceleration available with electric motors I would think that accelerated wear could be a much bigger issue. But then tires have improved dramatically too since my day.

  6471. It's not the SEC's job to choose winners and losers only to prosecute blatant provable fraud and manipulation of markets by executives, insider trading and such. Notice how Trevor hedges with vague language. When Elon said: "Funding secured" when it wasn't true and it did have substantial effect on price action, that was a case for SEC, had Elon been foolish enough to sell into that he would have been in serious trouble. If Trevor is caught in bald face lies he will be prosecuted but simply hyping with misleading expectations and projections won't do it, I think he's on thin ice but might get away with it.

Cars depreciate always have always will, typically by far the biggest cost of a new 'premium' vehicle. Listen when Elon says: "Our prices are embarrassingly high." New improved cheaper Teslas, better computer, efficiencies, charging sp... progress equals depreciation of the older versions. Can't have it both ways.

  6492.  @Frank_W.  I guess it dates back to Reagan--"remove 2 regulations for every new reg" Simple but possibly good idea. Better yet, or in addition, all new laws should have an expiry date and new laws or extensions should require 60% vote while removing old laws should only take 40%...something like that should be built in. (sort of Elon's take) Revisit every law in say 20 yrs or it expires with exception of The Constitution and maybe a high hurdle for a few other exceptions. But yeah--try to terminate 'food for fuel' ethanol program and your going to lose support bc only those profiting on it care enough to vote on that single issue, no one else cares that much. It's the classic "distributed costs concentrated rewards" scenario. Or how Cuban Americans have driven the entire toxic Washington Cuban policy for half a century...only they will vote strictly on that issue while the rest of nation has other priorities.

No one knows the story (I only knew bc of a sibling involved) but those were terrorist dream bombs you could literally put in a suitcase scattered all across W.Euro. They were removed due to folks working behind the scenes in Washington DC and E. nations. Those cannon nukes were there to thwart a mass invasion of USSR tanks but inherently not secure enough, potential city busters. Massive debt to all involved in pulling those out.

The very foundations of Christianity are VILE, degrading to humanity and corrosive to the moral fabric. I understand that you think it's OK because we have been immersed in it all our lives but it's anything but harmless. American Christians are largely responsible for the insane Cold War with the USSR that nearly caused the end of civilization and the wonderful Vietnam War is totally a Christian atrocity.

  6545. RS Man One more thing:  It does happen rarely that ONE engine of four will fail, for more then that to fail at the same time is exceedingly rare unless flying thru volcanic ash or hitting a hundred geese, or running out of fuel or something like that, and even if a 747 loses any 2 engines on take off (the worst possible time) it can safely climb out gradually and go around to land.  It might have a chance even on one engine alone depending on circumstances. 
    1
  6546. RS Man Clarification:  Engine failure can LEAD to a stall of the wing just as anything that slows the plane down can but that's not what happend to this 747 apparently...it simply had the nose way to high...climbing steeper then it could maintain proper air speed/flow over the wing.  It is likely that the cargo broke free and rolled aft making it impossible to lift the tail up and maintain a sustainable climb rate. (or the cargo center of gravity was grossly missplaced to begin with perhaps) So as it slowed down the pilot wants to give down elevator to reduce climb rate and keep adequate airspeed but the weight was too far back--nothing is much more dangerous then an excessively tail heavy aircraft.  Or it's possible that the pilot just screwed up really severly and ignored stall warnings and deliberately held the nose much too high, but that seems highly unlikely as it's a unbelievably stupid mistake with consistently deadly consequences this close to the turf.

  6560. This 'expert' does fine is some ways but he didn't explain the most crucial aspect well at all--what IS a stall and why the plane would behave in this fashion under these conditions.   A stall has nothing to do with climb rate as he suggests, it's all about air speed and angle of attack plus the state/effects of lift enhancing devices--flaps and slats.

  6577.  Radford Tataryn  You can't convert an ICE to electric in a competitive fashion and you wind up with sub-optimal results. You will drive an EV eventually for all the reasons you stated, inherently less expensive to operate. Not for everyone nor every location YET but it's coming. These things don't happen over night. Take a ride in a Tesla or better yet rent one for a week and you'll begin to change your tune. I'm a bit of a petrol head, I have no desire for a different car, I still love my 'old' 2011 BMW M3 with that gem of a high revving V8, but I'm guessing it's my last ICE. I'm not ready to give up on the engagement, third pedal and visceral experience. And for road trips EVs are not "there" yet, not enough charging options or charge rate but those too are advancing rapidly. Owners of Tesla's whom I'm guessing know better than you or I, they disagree with you on quality control, almost every single one of them love the car. So whatever trivial faults they have are vastly overwhelmed by the positives. Joe Rogan is a car guy (Porches, classics, muscle cars) and he says the Model 3 makes all other cars seem stupid. Damn good reason why they out sell every other car model (not trucks or SUVs) in the USA despite some trepidation for the continued viability of the Co., unfamiliar brand and a change of how one does things. Tesla isn't just selling cars they are offering a complete mobility solution from over air updates, super chargers all over the planet, most efficient batteries and motors bar NONE, best electronics and only good AP. There are a host of reasons why the old MFGs are going to have a hell of a time catching up. Some 100 major car Co.s globally, all of them are scrambling to offer EV's but none so far offer the value or performance of a T. Again--it's entirely normal for a tech Co. to lose money for many yr.s as long as they are growing rapidly. My money is on TSLA, it's risky but has massive potential. Go ahead and bet against me!
    1
  6578.  Radford Tataryn  You don't know much about Tesla. They are just about the most loved products ever owned by anyone, they had some early quality control issues, mostly minor/cosmetic stuff early in production on every new model and fixed those problems. The China EV market is equal in size to the rest of world combined. You won't see Chinese made Tesla's in America, they won't foreseeably be able to meet China demand for the cars. They may need a couple more factories in China, another is scheduled to begin construction in Germany soon. Big MFGs build where they sell for a host of reasons. No one is ever going to bail out Tesla and they provide some 400,000 American jobs already and growing. (that number might include Elon's other Co.s as well, mainly SpaceX, but the bulk are Tesla employees) BTW--if hadn't noticed, there are too many jobs in America, millions of unfilled positions due to lack of qualified applicants. We need more investment in automation to increase productivity plus training for unskilled folks. How could they possibly be turning much of a profit when investing so much in R&D for new products and building new factories and production lines?

I really hope the worst is NOT going to be revealed, it's rough on the nation, bad for my stock portfolio, etc. No way should a prez get away with mobster behavior however, I accept the personal hit on my short term self interests to reinforce that the USA is a nation of laws not men , it's either that or dictatorship. We American's tend to think we are automatically immune from the prospect of totalitarianism, let's not take it for granted, many other nations thought it was impossible to happen there and proven wrong.

  6611.  @BrianStewart126  I'm not aware of that but I'll stay tuned. It would be some coincidence if 280ppm atmospheric CO2, near all time lows, just happened to be ideal for humanity or life on Earth in general. I believe, at this point, that 500ppm is probably a lot better and safer. It's not as tho this planet was designed for humans, granted we were "designed" for it and...say 2000ppm might even begin to mess with our physiology directly....that ain't gonna happen. Fossil fuels are on the road to obsolescence simply due to technology and economics, tho few seem to realize it.

Similar to a suborbital rocket like Virgin Galactic in terms of inherent danger, rigorous engineering, quality control and testing required. I didn't see any of that going into this mission, but only seen a tiny glimpse...more my intuition. Test the damn thing without humans on board a couple X??

  6618. Tony M That might be OK but I sure wouldn't push it on an expensive vehicle especially if you intend to keep it long term. One reason I do it more often is because I believe BMW (and others) like to maximize maintenance intervals on their cars as a selling point, even at the cost of shortening the engine life as it "will last long enough anyway". My 2011 M3 has 9 liters oil cap in part to extend interval, but it's a high strung, $20,000 motor, I won't let it look dirty or stay in there over 6 months/4k to 5k miles, even at some $200 for oil change supplies alone. Spending twice as much on oil as I need to is cheap peace of mind. Doing it myself keeps me in touch with the condition of crucial components, oil leaks, etc. Frequent oil change means better maintenance in all areas as I wind up checking all the fluids, filters, and so on.

One of my engines costs $20,000 on the bench, I take care of it.

Brakes essentially never wear out because regenerative braking is used exclusively w few exceptions--emergencies, on a track (doesn't apply to you or most others) or if batt is briefly at 100% already. As a typical utilitarian car user, YOU will be in a BEV before you know it, few yrs. Apartments will provide chargers or become obsolete, it's not expensive or difficult. Tesla tells you exactly where chargers are and everything you want to know about them and they always work. You just plug in and walk away, no card no other transaction required. Frugal and poor ppl will have plenty of options but only one drive train type to chose from--BEV. They are 3 to 4X less to operate. Poor will be the biggest beneficiaries of this revolution. I still prefer my 'old' BMWs, I can afford them, I wouldn't recommend to others nor will I ever spend much on an ICE for a daily driver again, just don't make sense.

  6660.  @SheLeftMeUnsupervised  No offense but propaganda works and you don't know what you don't know. Most ppl charge at home and can't imagine going back to the inconvenience of gas stations to pay $50 or $100 instead of $8 or $15 of electricity. Insurance may be higher in the short term but unless you crash a lot there ARE NO REPAIRS or maintenance to do, that's the realm of ICE cars. Charging for road trips in a Tesla can add marginally to trip time if you are one to never need to stop in 1000 miles, to pee, eat, stretch legs. But 30 minutes from 20% to 80% when you just plug in and walk away ain't a BFD. $35 to $40k for one of the best cars ever is too much for you? Then just wait a couple yrs for used market options.

Plus the Big Three who lobbied for subsidies found out they can't produce competitive compelling BEVs and are changing their tune.

Lower levels of climate alarmism go back at least 150 yrs, we had plenty of chat about the next "Ice Age" (actually next glacial maximum) during the 1960's and '70's and it was equally justified as the Yellow News driven nonsense of today, it just wasn't as pervasive and hysterical, it wasn't attributed to human activities.

  6724.  @susanfarley1332  Where you are wrong is to except humanity, we are just another animal species with a large impact both good and bad. Beavers, hippos, bison, caribou, whales, everything alters the landscape. Yes WE have to be much more deliberate and conscientious about it with our tech powers, but we will probably stop the next cosmic impactor which is hard to say is anything but a good result. From a Ghia Hypothesis perspective, humans may be here to protect the planet, to do vastly more good than harm. It's not popular belief but CO2 has become dangerously low in recent millions of yrs, near levels where mass plant extinctions would happen during glacial maximums. Plants can't exist much below 150ppm and 180 has happened geologically very recently. That is extremely dangerous territory for ALL life on Earth. CO2 is as essential as water. NO question plant life is benefiting from higher CO2 and more drought tolerant. That doesn't mean we want 1000ppm say, but I think 500 is better than 280 where we started. The rate of change may be alarming but the magnitude so far is not, life thrived at 10,000ppm. In a modern house you probably have some 2000 often. Meanwhile the obsolescence of fossil fuels is in sight, vast majority of remaining reserves will be left in the ground.

  6725. NO problems? Ice sheets periodically bulldozed over half N. America and W.

This guy resonates with me as a no nonsense let the data lead sort of guy just telling it like it is as best as he can discern it.

  6729.  @VR_Wizard  Medieval Warm Period peaked nearly 1 deg C higher than today, 1100 yrs ago. Why? Lowest temps in several thousand yrs were around 1600 to 1800, typically the modern clock of climate change begins in 1800's, convenient to make the case for CO2. But this century has not cooperated so far with temps flatish. 60 MYA CO2 was at 800ppm. Are you getting your info from corporate media? 140 MYA it was 2200ppm. (wish I knew how to link the data charts but I don't)

  6730.  @VR_Wizard  I used to believe like you and for the same reasons, it took me a decade of study to gradually find something closer to the truth. You are correct, it's not easy but it is important. I'd urge you to look what we bought into over recent decades, as a substitute for doing the hard work I've done, compare what Al Gore predicted by now or any number of other catastrophe predictions 10 to 25 yrs back. There were signs in Glacier Park, MT, that said "These glaciers will be gone by 2020", only the signs are now gone. 2011: "Sever drought will be the new normal for Texas." Flooding has been a much bigger problem in recent yrs. The fact that extreme weather events have NOT increased is well known and anyone claiming otherwise should be immediately dismissed. One should be skeptical of everything but especially the dogma of the day. I've looked at the raw data, reams of it, and it supports what I've posted here. Natural climate drivers dwarf CO2 effects. (water vapor is by far the primary greenhouse gas on Earth BTW) The ice age for the last few million yrs that we are still in has been near all time low CO2 levels marked by devastating climate swings. IF CO2 was the driver we'd never escape a glacial maximum because that's when albedo is max (ice sheets reflect most solar energy and ice free oceans are minimized, liquid water is the best natural absorber of solar energy, much better than land) CLEARLY something much more powerful is responsible. Plant life is expected to enter mass extinction, which could be far worse than even the KT dino extinction event, at some 100 to 150ppm CO2. Recent glacial maximums have seen scary low CO2 levels of around 180ppm. It would be quite the coincidence if 280ppm, a random low value, happened to be best for us or life on Earth, hmmm? Certainly is not best for plant life or food production, also not controversial is the greening of Earth from higher CO2 levels. Commercial greenhouses typically use 2000ppm to accelerate production.

  6731.  @VR_Wizard  Wikipedia is often dominated by fanatics with an axe to grind, possibly the most unreliable source available unfortunately. Anyone who even challenges the dogma of the day, no matter how factual and reasonable is trashed so that you may know to dismiss them without consideration. That's the Leftist way today. Truth can be very hard to determine but it's all I care about in this context.

  6732.  @VR_Wizard  We are all effected by propaganda and simply "If it bleeds it leads." Can't tell you how many didn't believe that the serious crime rate in America was cut in half between 1980's and 2000. (may no longer be the case) Or how many are afraid to fly on airliners in the US when the fatality rate is near zero many yrs while 100/day die on the road. Most Chinese citizens actually believe Corona was a USA made weapon. Propaganda works. (trying to keep this brief) Steven Koonin has been a long time climate expert and science adviser for Obama, a few excerpts from his book "Unsettled?":::: "....both the research literature and government reports that summarize and assess the state of climate science say clearly that heat waves in the US are no no more common than they were in 1900, and that the warmest temperatures in the US have not risen in the past 50 yrs. When I tell people this, most are incredulous. Some gasp. And some get downright hostile." " * ---Humans have had no detectable impact on hurricanes over the past century. ---Greenland's ice sheet isn't shrinking any more rapidly today than 80 yrs ago. ---The net economic impact of human-induced climate change will be minimal through at least the end of this century.* " " * --Humans exert a growing, but physically small warming influence on the climate. The deficiencies of climate data challenge our ability to untangle the response to human influences from poorly understood natural changes." * The above is drawn from most recent consensus of UN/climate accord agreement. It doesn't mean everything is rosy but it's not what we've been led to believe either.

I started as a laborer in an underground mine-mill at 17, got certified in welding, started welding contracting biz at 20, broke and green as hell, no TV, sound system nor toys...just a worn out econobox and an old 1-ton Chevy I had to rebuild.....nothing to be proud of, just the minimum requirement of being a MAN, like integrity, honesty, self reliance... ....well--I could prattle on endlessly how to be successful and it wouldn't matter, you are more concerned about avoiding personal responsibility and the necessity of effort than pursuit of happiness and achievement. It's the only explanation for your gross self deception which will, naturally, become your result. You choose your own own life limits.

So he took his aprox $200M from internet companies and risked it ALL on two companies that he figured would most likely fail and nearly went bankrupt many times, only his dogged persistence saved them. Tesla has changed the entire globes automotive trajectory and SpaceX has cut low Earth orbit access cost by 10X thus dominating the space. (accidental pun) Early this century he became and remains very concerned about the existential risk AGI poses to humanity. (artificial general intelligence) So he created Nuralink to make humans more competitive with emerging machines, and now "Optimus Prime" bot project to steer such tech in a beneficial, non threatening direction as much as possible. He obviously doesn't give a damn about personal fortune, money is just a tool to reach for his outlandish goals. Otherwise he could have retired young with that $200M like most anyone else would have, not risk it all on crazy projects. That's a lot more than 3 and just the beginning.

  6792.  @Meg-d4p  Actual aid can be well worth the price. However - USAID was a CIA front from the beginning, only a tiny sliver went to actual aid. The bulk was questionable to outright nefarious, censorship, psyops, and dozens of regime changes over it's 60 yrs, mostly democratic countries. More recently it's been turned internally to work against Americans directly.
    1
  6793. Actual aid isn't the problem, it's a tiny percent of USAID which was established as a front for the CIA, used for psyops, censorship, some 40 regime changes in 60 yrs, then turned inward and used against America. All done thru convoluted NGOs accountable to no one and outside US law. Giving rice to famine victims and cleaning up unexploded munitions WE dropped on Cambodia, those may be a good investment, but a trivial part of now demolished USAID.

John McCain made valiant effort twice in the 1990's to reduce the degree to which DC is inherently corrupting, he failed. We'd be far better off paying congress ppl $1m/yr while banning the biggest sources of corruption but that's not part of any budget (which is the topic here) and not about to happen until we the ppl raise hell. We get the government we deserve unfortunately. Folks want all sorts of benefits they imagine their neighbors will pay for instead of themselves, dumb as that is.

I go largely with direct personal experience: I've worked with hundreds of Mexicans/Mexican Americans over the decades, a few have been duds or worse. MOST have been among the hardest working, most self reliant individually responsible, great attitude smart workers you'll find anywhere. These are both legal and illegal immigrants, indistinguishable except for that label. Their biggest cultural weakness is undervaluing general education like learning the language of the land to start with. Biggest strength is hardcore work ethics missing in most American youths. But I don't frequent ghettos, but instead industrial businesses, construction to farming, etc. Selection bias is inevitable.

  6848. Tomasmoravia Carbs are ancient history, not a chance they will ever approach the efficiency of modern injection. But ICE is is on the way out anyway for most applications. Battery electric is taking over everything from lawn mowers and leaf blowers to cars, the transition starts slowly and builds speed. Heavy equipment, aircraft and a few other categories may continue with liquid fuels for the foreseeable future, for most everything else ICE is going to be replaced fairly soon and it won't be missed.

  6852.  @brokoryfoods  Sales growth rate is much smaller this yr, not news but known for near a yr. Lofty goal of 50% average growth rate includes 2021 where sales were up 100% and this yr which will be much lower but surging again by 2026. From 2014 to 2020 ave. growth was 54%, not sustainable indefinitely. Elon and Tesla emphasized the 'lumpy' growth rate yrs ago. TSLA is a winding spring to be released AGAIN at some pt in the future. In a couple/few yrs the automotive side of Tesla will be vastly eclipsed by the rest of the business, energy storage, FSD, licensing software, bot, etc. Any of which may trigger the next big surge in the stock. This yr auto sales growth likely be around 20%, only Tesla, BYD and a couple other Chinese brands would consider that disappointing. China in general has big problems but BEVs continue to sell and Tesla continues to dominate both there and globally w 20% market share.
    1
  6853.  @brokoryfoods  It is true that the Tesla's car sales growth RATE is much smaller than average, this is not news but been expected for near a yr. Tesla is far from just a car company and yrs like 2020 where it grew near 100%, offset slower yrs, this was emphasized by Elon and Tesla yrs ago. As for the stock--it's a winding spring to be released once again at some unknown time in the future, just as it's done in the past. The trigger could be FSD, bot or even energy storage which continues to grow exponentially. Or a litany of other OEMs licensing Tesla software similar to how they all signed up for the charging network last yr. By 2026 w new models and methods, car sales growth will again surge, by then the automotive side of biz will be dwarfed by far bigger profit drivers such as SAS (software as a service) and maybe the bot.

  6887.  @fakecontent5950  Highly unlikely and why would E-brake have anything to do with a crash like this? Car is pretty much scrapped. She almost certainly rear ended another vehicle at some 30/40 kph. Often the problem with Chinese is they have very little or no prior experience with cars and expect the car to be magic. Certainly they did not grow up with cars, didn't exist for their parents. Where as we in the West learned basics since infancy just by being there and observing.

Nor do I like much socialism but it's always a matter of degree, I don't even hear Trumper's wanting to end SSI or Medicare, etc. My modest shack is long paid for, I live WELL below my means, I don't need Trump's handouts but I do need a functioning nation like everyone else.

Their case against him is mostly based on his own testimony to them and it's solid.
    1
  6929. southchum101  Yeah probably NOT. Tesla is currently producing vastly more cars than they ever have in the past and putting substantially more on the road in America then---say BMW 3 series or other comparable level vehicles and totally dominating the EV space currently in the USA. No doubt competition will become fierce but it isn't so far and most of the comparable options (Audi, Porsche, BMW, etc) are a couple yr.s or more from production and don't look all that impressive in comparison. Tesla has some serious structural design and production flaws but they are in a league of their own with regards to batt. tech. and electronics....they also don't have the high legacy costs (worker pensions and such) that all the rest have. T has a good shot at long term viability.

  6994.  @abhipatil1618  Short sellers are not one monolithic entity, they are multiple individuals and institutions and they are a necessary part of healthy markets. Some may want "to destroy Tesla" but so what, they can't do anything but keep it honest and push down the share price TEMPORARILY unless they have a real legal case against it. Those who want to purchase stock today benefit by the shorts error (if it proves to be a mistake) as we get a discount and later the stock will rise more due to the shorts failure. Embrace it. It's ignorant and childish to pretend shorts are going to hurt Tesla in the long run.

  6995. He hasn't injured TSLA any, shorts are healthy and one of the reasons I recently went long.

  6996. There is nothing wrong with admitting a change of mind and TSLA was a crappy investment for the last 4.5 yr.s, it's been dead money, not a great short and a lousy long. Only traders have been able to gain from it. I believe that's going to change and own a modest chunk (as a percentage of my account) of TSLA starting a couple days prior to earnings report. Shorts are a good thing and one of the reasons I went long.

  7000. James Rockford Whatever it takes. Somethings wrong if you have any sort of engineering degree and can't get a job, that's just stupid. No one owes anyone a job, create your own job if you don't like what's offered. Maybe your only qualified for KFC, I wouldn't know, but you got to start somewhere. A degree doesn't guarantee your worth a damn. I knew a few at the engineering dept. I graduated from that I would never hire.
    1
  7001. James Rockford Based on what? No question that anyone of average health and intelligence who actually wants a job can get one anytime. Even in the depths of the great recession it was difficult to find an employee worth a damn, nothing new there. In America one can also create their own job so NO excuse for not being productive. When I was 20 I realized I was caring several lazy union workers "on my shoulders" and invested every dime in starting my own business to reap what I produced instead of diluting it with those bent on destroying the company they depended on. It wasn't easy, nothing much good ever is, but it was well worth it.

  7002. John Rand Really? Big secret? Or maybe your not so proud of your performance? ;-) Sure we could have nuclear war or something, a depression is always possible but there is little reason to expect it. (or even a trade war could do the trick, that's my number one concern at the moment, Trump might be stupid enough to scrap NAFTA say.) Precious metals are an insurance policy or trading tool but they are 'non-performing assets', not generally a good idea to hold a lot of 'em for a long time. I'm up around 33% in 12 months but 2017 was an exceptional yr obviously.

You may not have the interest or time for this but here is a decent current take on the other side, the bull argument plus some general investing wisdom: "Watch CNBC's full interview with Ron Baron" (NOTE: I don't have a financial stake in Tesla, it's too hard for me right now, so clearly I'm not entirely convinced by Ron but I tune into interesting perspectives on all sides)

  7046. Drogo Baggins I agree that city to city rockets are a bad joke but I don't know how you call it fraud since Space X is private, he's not benefiting by fooling anyone, same goes for tunnels (which I think he is right about over the long term) and he has little to do with Hyperloop which has potential but more hype than loop. Zero emissions AT THE SOURCE, everyone understands that the source needs to move away from fossils, in any case EVs are in the neighborhood of 100 mpg equivalent and solar is on a long term, multi-decade decline in price per watt which can continue for the foreseeable future. With steady decline in costs of both batteries and solar it's entirely possible to power the entire USA on that alone, just a small chunk of Nevada, a BIG deal but doable in the near future but certainly not necessary as many other options will fill in. Solar is poised to become the cheapest electric in history....if you don't understand that then you are simply out of touch with the current (pun unintended) circumstances. Take a look at the Australian and other 'giant' batteries, of course only time will tell for certain if they pay off but there is a start.

I miss the Concord too, great achievement for it's day but it was just too far ahead of crucial technologies that may, someday, allow for that sort of speed affordably. The major airline MFGs started to go for SSTs in the 1960's and abandon the projects bc they couldn't create a viable cost effective machine. The government backed Concord, as pricey as it was, never made a profit.

It sounds like that's a foriegn or too scary concept for you to accept. NO ONE owes you any of the things you seem to think you were born to receive. You don't like the "fantasy" of creating your OWN DAMN JOB but you expect others to create one for you and exactly to YOUR specifications...why is it some one else's obligation to do so?

T pulled the trigger just a few times on small scale and took out a USA defined "Iranian Terrorist" general on the cheap. lol Not say'n we should exit Afghanistan entirely but I like a less warring nation, as a patriot and morally. If Biden continues Mr. T.s anti-war (unnecessary war) stand, that's a plus. He's taking on China's toxic international practices effectively too, CCP probably fears Biden more than Trump.

  7123.  @WaluigiMangione  Part of the deal initially, I don't care for it but it beats selling them from Tesla for $200k plus in first months...maybe. You don't have to sign the contract plus pay extra for "Foundation Series", wait a yr. Soon can order CT for $80k. Short term situation when CTs could be sold for $250k or whatever, already not much premium left.

  7124. Couple fun facts--every Tesla has been by far the safest in it's class by a wide margin. (other than the trivial original roadster) Tesla has the highest customer loyalty of any brand. Good reasons for that too.

  7125. Last yr Tesla got 6 million applicants for only 20k job listings, far harder than getting into Harvard say. GOOD reasons for that.

  7126. The right way is serving the long term plans and mission. Expanding hourly is what they need as production lines ramp up, 2017 they cut 9% across the board, 7% 2019, yet overall employment continues to rise fast. Trimming fat/deadwood periodically is essential.
    1
  7127. 'Reporters' didn't even bother to follow Elon's relevant Tweets, exception for last dude. Clarified on 1st day that only salaried employees cut while hourly continue to rise. Cutting 10% of less than half of of workforce, trimming fat like they did in 2017 & 2019 only MORE back then as it was across the board.

    1
  7132.  @fatalconceit9713  Actually most of those folks trim on a spike and buy on a discount which is timing. Buffet is famous for saying, paraphrased: "'Buy when everyone's panicking sell when everyone is euphoric.'" So even he "trades" or "times" to some extent. They are experts and don't follow the advice they offer necessarily but still correct to advise against it as it's just too hard, but I invest much more time/effort than they expect us little retailers to do and I don't kid myself about thinking I can beat the market in general, still there are better and worse times to buy and sell, add and trim. I had some solid reasons not to own Tesla for the last 4 yr.s and compelling reason to buy before the quarter and so far that was right, one example. In THAT sense it's foolish not to "time" the market, normally it's not ALL IN or ALL cash but somewhere in the middle. I had a lot of compelling reasons to suspect the recent sell off, never before went 3/4s cash it was partially just luck as I was way to heavy tech. and need to reballance, tech had run hard for a long time, so I sold almost all of the high flyers fortunately, trickling back in now. Better to be lucky than good they say. Hard to argue with success tho, hmm? ;-) In a sense it's always necessary to 'time', when the fundamentals change you need to change with them...be pretty sad to have held GE for the last couple yr.s even if you owned it for the prior 20 yr.s, the story changed over time, better change with it. Also there were major warning signs before the 2008/9 crash and it would have been very 'smart' (or lucky) to scale back or get out then back in quickly after the dramatic bounce, be WAY ahead doing so.
    1
  7133.  @fatalconceit9713  I tune into everything from fanboy channels here to short sellers anywhere I find them...crucial to always challenge your own thesis for owning a stock.

Britain gave up the Falklands as a final end to it's empire, I don't think it had anything to do with a will to fight and She and US have a long strong relationship. I also question if Russia would help China much. I don't expect it to come to a "kinetic war". China drew a hard line against US military docking at Taiwan, we did so anyway, then a hard line against landing military aircraft and we did that too. Nothing but noise out of the CCP. Philippines hasn't been friendly with US in recent yrs but it's China that's their real problem so I don't know where that stands.

I also hate it when a politician scapegoats (Bernie, Hillary and Trump did so consistently on free trade), avoiding the real problems for made up ones just because that's what the ignorant masses want to hear. Why is that OK with you? Our problems are only going to get far worse if we vilify the very things that allow for our prosperity (economic freedom INCLUDING FREE TRADE!) and dodge the real problems why certain groups are falling behind. (lack of skills and education for the modern economy). If you had bothered to read what I wrote you wouldn't use the word 'hatred' in the context you did. Let's start with just a couple items. Do you believe Mexico is going to pay for the wall? If so how? Do you believe the election was 'rigged"? If so how, where is the evidence and was it rigged for or against DT? I'm doing fine in this economy. How about YOU? Do you have skills and an education? Is it OK with you to rob the taxpayer, the general public, to SUBSIDIZE THE UNEDUCATED LOSER, sniveling, lazy failures? Why should I pay for them?

  7191.  @lbear3321  Not defending anything you clown. Prove what someone meant? Read her work it's clear. I described my take the best I can. Typically "selfish" is used as self centered , simple narrow and childish, obviously NOT how Ayn uses term. She uses it as the opposite of self sacrifice. Get it? To run into a burning building to save some one you love would be selfish, to do so to save someone who preys on you, someone you properly hate, might be self sacrifice which is not necessarily admirable. To steal might be self centered but it's not selfish if one understands theft to damage local society you are a part of and/or degrade your own self respect. A selfish person sticks to their principles for their own reasons, to protect their own value.
    1
  7192. Tricky semantics here but I take Ayn as making a distinction between a broad sense of self interest (selfishness) which should include every aspect of the local environment, the entire planet, vs self centered which is the place of an infant or fool or psychopath.

  7196. David Benavides Imagine the hypothetical scenario where one truck driver is in charge of THREE TRUCKS at a time going down the road, not far off. With extra responsibility and far more productivity comes extra pay, in some ways the job will be more demanding, that's not a bad thing. This is exactly why WE are far better off that our grandparents in terms of wealth. You can't have a slice of a pie bigger than you produce. I don't know if Elon's cost estimates are reasonable but if he's right then truckers will take a lot more rail freight with the low unit cost of one driver guiding 3 trucks. That would also bode well for truckers and take up less of the road as computers will be talking to eachother and they can safely follow close to eachother. Three trucks as one in a sense, who wouldn't triple their payload if they could? Much farther down the road one truck driver might be managing a dozen trucks or more from an office, again, a huge increase in productivity and responsibility, ie, pay. It also means that you will be making more on fewer hours, maybe 30 hr. weeks instead of 40 plus. That's the way it has always worked.
    1
  7197. David Benavides Stop what shit? Why don't we get rid of farm machines so half of us can be far workers just like "the good old days". There are already far too many jobs for available qualified workers. Anyone worth a damn has a job.
    1
  7198. I honestly didn't realize even FOX could be this retarded. No trucking co. is going to give a damn if Elon is motivated by an "environmental agenda", if a new truck can save them 20% on operating costs it will sell faster than it can be built. Stupid fossils like this no nothing trucker will either make the transition or go out of business. Same for manufacturers of truck drive trains like Cummins, they either invest heavy in electrics or become obsolete....and they ARE working on e-drives too.
    1
  7199. Ron Fullerton Excellent points. I couldn't agree more with the last one. My criticism is for the common trucker mantra pretending they are uniquely required to keep the wheels turning, so to speak. The meth bit was mainly for fun but it used to be true.

  7200. Duke Zivic Today's truck driver can find other things to do, for a while, if they are too lazy to advance their education and learn some respectable skills. Some can put chains on autonomous trucks and remove them on the other side, air tires, wash 'em, etc., things that teenagers do today. There will be all sorts of new careers created as well, that pay far more than driving a truck, but most truckers may not have the gumption to prepare themselves for those. For many, like my #1 customer, they can't wait to get rid of truck drivers , the biggest headache in their business. They fuckup a LOT, crash for stupid reasons, tip over due to speed, get hit by a train, cause serious injuries to others on the road resulting in multi-million dollar lawsuits and high insurance rates, they are ungrateful, bitchy and don't want to do anything but sit in the cab, they cause problems with other employees.... The world will be a better place without truckers.

  7201. Texarmageddon NONSENSE. Virtually 100% of accidents are caused by human drivers. There is massive room for advancement there and it's coming down the pike fast, Volvo is shooting for ZERO FATALITIES in it's cars only a few years out, that can ONLY be done with autonomous. Today when the engine management computer fails (or anything else) the truck driver is useless, he can't fix it or drive without it anyway. But someone still has to pick the bugs out of the grill at service stops! (until electrics replace diesel in a decade or so) Truck drivers are universally completely ignorant about the electronics of the truck they are driving, drivers are totally replaceable....worse than useless, the trucks don't kill people drivers do. :D
    1
  7202. Texarmageddon That's already the case since computers are necessary to run credit cards at the diesel pump and run the engine itself, along with almost everything else around us. The weak link in a truck IS THE DRIVER. We need to get rid of that element ASAP! And we will. It's a lousy job anyway. But hey, a few displaced drivers can still plug in the driver-less trucks at a truck stop or pump fuel for them, air tires and clean sensors and cameras, buff wheels....
    1
  7203. Duke Zivic. NOPE. They will use existing infrastructure and it's relatively easy to exceed the safety of a human driver. Truck drivers days are numbered and good riddance they usually have crappy attitudes anyway. lol. It won't happen overnight but much faster than you think. Every time I drive long on I-5 I have to negotiate sleepy truckers weaving all over the place--that will soon be a thing of the past--computers don't get drowsy and dangerous.

  7256. Best to tune into where u live and what the landscape requires. Much of this looks 10 or 20 yrs since essential fire has cleaned up. Fire is not optional here, if not frequent, every few yrs at low intensity, it will be bad. It will always burn one way or another, we do it on our own terms or like this.

  7257. Hope not many, 7:15 home could be saved at that point, even a garden hose could quell that before it gets further. These lands are born to burn, either frequent, semi-annual, or catastrophic after decades of fuel buildup.

Imagine how difficult and dangerous those doors are going to be when the truck is tilted a little, surely they are going to require powered door actuators with some of the same problems with sensors and controls that the X is famous for. Standard doors can be a problem when a truck is leaned over a little and these are going to be 2 to 3X heavier. A big negative for most of us. And wt. degrades every single aspect of a vehicle with the exception of colliding with another vehicle. Heavy doors also contribute nothing to the structure.

  7316. I find mower headlights useful, it's quiet enough to run at night. No more: spark plugs, carbs, oil, pull cord, VIBRATION (I never thought of it before), nasty exhaust.....batts seem way over priced tho, fortunately only had 1 of 4 fail over the yrs and don't really need 4 anyway.

  7321.  @UndecidedMF  So am I. Also very interested (selfishly) how it will effect TSLA value in coming yr.s. As a NorCali resident the impetus to become independent or partially independent of the grid is growing every month with the continuous disaster that PG&E has become. Recent blackouts have driven solar stock prices up in some cases as many more households are driven to go solar. I've been expecting a E-utility death spiral eventually for yr.s now, seems like the beginning of the end of PG&E if not also SoCal Edison. I imagine they may be restructured as existing centralized power sources (hydro, wind, etc.) will still need to be distributed for a long time to come but I have doubts it will be affordable. Frankly I'd love to say "F-you guys, were cutting the wires." Excessive prices and mismanagement infuriates me.

  7323. They do pay for some advertising, the give-away cars and free supercharger use for YouTubers promoting the Co. One angle would be that increased demand would allow higher prices.

  7326.  @UndecidedMF  I have always wondered about that, my understanding is they try to keep a lot of things secret including their battery tech and electronics which are superior, in some cases by a wide margin. As a potential stock holder it's not reassuring that they'd give away crucial advantages. I wonder to what extent Elon is tuned into channels like THIS, directly or indirectly, to keep up with customer issues. Back when Amazon was small Bezos was know to personally answer customer complaints by the hundreds daily I hear, it's that sort of responsiveness that allows them to thrive.
    1
  7327.  @UndecidedMF  There is no company on the planet I want to see succeed more....only Elon's other ventures are in that ballpark. I'm guessing he will become aware of it and make some pertinent changes. He's certainly capable of turning things upside down when necessary.

Amazing what some do with only say 1/4 acre, I have 1/2 and lost track of how many I have planted at around 150 and still a lot to do.
    1
  7330. I got one many yr.s ago, it's not quite professional grade but near ideal for my use with almost zero issues except for leaking bar oil on the shelf. It is somewhat bulky and heavy maybe with batt. but well worth it. I went thru several garbage corded saws in a couple yr.s before going EGO. (now have their blower, mower and hedge trimmer with weed wacker in my shopping cart) I've talked with pro tree trimmers who use professional batt chainsaws every day....Milwaukee I believe.
    1
  7331. I can't say if it's the best option available but switching from ICE to EGO yard power tools yr.s ago has been a huge savings in time, racket and frustration. (chainsaw, blower, hedge trimmer and mower so far) We had 2 acres to mow as kids including 100's of yards of ditch and pond edges to trim via hanging the mower over the sides.

  7340.  Chris Tombs  Yes it does and can be easily calculated. Earth's rotational rate is decreasing and the energy is going only a few places--increasing the moon's orbital energy (moon is continuously getting further from Earth via robbing Earth's rotational energy) and heat within the Moon and Earth. Some of Saturn and Jupiter's moons are kept warm or even very hot internally in the same fashion,

  7348.  @apex3821  Pinnacle and evolution are fundamentally incompatible because the first term implies a destination beyond propagating genes which is ALL evolution 'cares' about.

  7354.  @apex3821  By a select definition yes. Durability and ubiquity would favor bacteria, as well as panspermia obviously, microorganisms get to seed other celestial bodies. The notion of "pinnacle" doesn't work with evolution as there is no goal other than propagating genes. Technology is meaningless in that context unless it results in preventing extinction events (which it may but so far has mainly threaten us with extinction) and allows dispersion among the planets and stars.

  7355.  @SanguineMalcontent  I didn't know about said octopus. Quite easy to achieve beyond "red hot" steel in a barbeque, that starts at 460C, so 500C with a little air blown in. Try it sometime.
    1
  7356.  @SanguineMalcontent  Interesting idea but I'm not sure such vents overlap compatible environments for those animals, most vents are very deep where life is relatively sparse and exotic. Not octopus territory. One long extinct vent was a copper mine in Roman Empire times, IDK if it was lifted from the Mediterranean or far older, Med not so deep, don't think it ever was. Maybe you are thinking of shallow vents but they have the inherent problem of not being near as hot in liquid state. And how hot are even deep vents? Up to 600C say? Not near as hot as a barbeque, not hot thermally work copper even but chemically work it or other metals?? If somewhat pure copper can be worked cold with rocks. (Spit balling)

(who the hell would want to live there?...some will but it's gonna be rough) Also we are on the cusp of preventing at least one type of mass extinction event, cosmic impactors. And credit for reducing the atmospheric CO2 deficit that popular propaganda pretends is the opposite. Also believe we should research possibility of chilling the likes of Yellowstone Caldara with--say a massive array of horizontal geothermal power pipes. The average thermal output is probably not insurmountable given a devastating eruption every 1.5M yrs or so.

  7365.  @Izanagi057  I'm an optimist and happy with most of what humanity has done especially reducing the CO2 deficit in the atmosphere significantly Bet you didn't see that coming did you? Quit being a presumptuous prick. But bacteria and other organisms have done VASTLY more to modify this planet. Remember when there was no free oxygen? Bacteria have thrived for 4 million X longer, make our lives possible and will thrive long after we are gone. Pinnacle implies evolution has a destination, IT DOES NOT, not beyond continued existence. There is no such thing as "more evolved" between two coexisting species.

You are simply expressing your own insecurity with a childish default need of superiority not based on anything but presumptions and assumptions. NOT dominant in terms of longevity, laughably far from that, we've been on Earth for a minute fraction of 1% of life on Earth, many species have thrived for 100's of millions of yrs. Not dominant in many ways, only novel ways of modifying biosphere but FAR less effective at that then oxygen generating organisms which truly altered everything. So sure--WE set narrow parameters for "dominance" that WE just happen to excel at, ignoring any number of areas where we are a joke. What a coincidence.

Many species might be smarter, we just aren't smart enough to communicate with them. Maybe they fit their environment so happily they don't need to modify it. Dolphins say, whales....

  7389.  @zachcarter3186  Probably centuries worth depending on your consumption assumptions and IF all the worlds vast shales were tapped which they won't be. Famous quote from Shell Oil CEO circa 1990's: "The stone age didn't end bc we ran out of rocks and the oil age won't end bc we run out of petroleum." He couldn't have known then how right he was. Petrol will be largely obsolete within 20 yrs.
    1
  7390. Coal is obsolete in America due to cheap NatGas and we have 10X more oil available today then a decade and half ago due to shale extraction technologies. ALL of those will be obsolete soon enough while most is left in the ground.

  7392.  @Box545x39  Yes it should be common sense. Some 'damned' rivers have been restored here in the PNWest too but the Columbia system is the biggy, it too has significant advocacy for dismantling and returning to wild, doesn't seem likely soon but eventually. That system provided unbelievable prolific salmon runs almost yr round, now just a trickle of endangered Chinooks. Every reason to believe it can be fully restored which feeds the forests too and everything in them. The use case for those reservoirs seems to be diminishing, US went dam crazy early/mid last century. At least one segment of Orcas have also been heavily impacted by loss of those salmon. Effects are wide ranging. Interesting to consider that North of and including Washington State, all those rivers and salmon runs can only be max of around 12k yrs old as the ice sheets had covered them for the prior 100k yrs roughly. That's very young as life and geology goes. So nature clearly can restore/create new runs where fresh 'sterile' rivers go. We can dramatically accelerate that process no doubt.

  7393.  @Box545x39  I think most do grasp it, regardless they will either embrace it or not be involved at all. While I lean heavily Libertarian for good reason, externalities like the environment must and can be regulated. Market forces alone don't consistently account for such tho customers of said products can and often do enforce high standards, others will not. Figure out how to comply or forget about it. There needs to be international standards which is a big hurdle. Currently--reckless methods and over fishing from the likes of China is a far bigger concern, similar for the dams that have gutted the previously spectacular salmon runs decades ago to the present in Pacific N. West. USA fisheries are mostly properly controlled.

  7402.  @michaels4255  10X is entirely reasonable, sure it's a rough round number but close enough for the point at hand. It has NOTHING to do with promoters, they aren't pushing for competition from China, Euro, Brazil and all the other massive shale formations all over the planet, it's an extrapolation from the astounding success it the US and certainly can be used globally. It's a tech story that hasn't been exported to a significant extent YET. Have you not noticed that the USA is 'suddenly' the largest petrol and NatGas producer on Earth? You can't fake that. Not many yr.s ago Trump's recent Iran attack would have spiked oil well over $100/barrel but not anymore. Why? Because the US can quickly offset any P. Gulf oil disruptions.

Dams cost big money to build and destroy rivers and everything in them, wind is becoming cost effective but can be an eye sore and kills bats and birds, solar on one's roof is becoming entirely viable but still expensive and we need to figure out how to recycle the panels and store it for night, etc. (batt packs are becoming affordable) All things considered I think we are clearly heading toward the cleanest cheapest E power ever.

Let me help: It means individual AUTONOMY, it means you cannot encroach on my liberties as long as they don't directly impact you. Liberty and justice. One may produce and trade value for value. It does not respect societies assessment of risk/reward but leaves that to the individual. That YOUR LIFE is truly YOURS alone, not the states, not the mob or society at large. Get your kicks from riding a skateboard down a grade at 70mph? Fine as long as the risk to others is acceptable...yes there are gray areas. It does not protect you from the results of another individual's failure but allows failure and success equally, those two are inextricably linked. Limit the potential for failure, be it workaholicism, sloth or mind altering substances like alcohol, and you limit success as well. "My right to swing my arms ends at your face" It also means it's none of your biz if a neighbor is guy and having sex with another dude or getting drunk at home. NOT your problem not your right to interfere. Beginning to get it? Live and let live and let die if that's their choice. It means you can lock yourself down but NOT ME without due process, my rights to travel, work, live as I like are not yours to infringe on. It means you can choose to be injected with experimental vacc but NOT force or coerce ME to do the same. Can you live with that??

Surely you know "everyday millionaires", they are everywhere and self made by definition. Or look at the ultra wealthy, Jobs, Bezos, Gates, Musk...none of them inherited it they created it along with fortunes for millions of others. If they are good parents they won't pass it on at all or only with highly considered conditions. At least give kids a chance to struggle on their own thru youth and mid age, it's the only source of genuine character and self respect
    1
  7506.  @Guelo6891  Completely naïve and backwards. Is that the bullshit public schools/universities indoctrinated you with or just your excuse for failure?? The WORST thing that can happen to youth is to inherit a pile of money, destroys their motivation, purpose and self respect unless it's tied to earning it like the family business or ranch. Grandfather could have left all of us a few million, SO glad he didn't. Smart parents don't pass it on, Buffet, Gates, many others are giving it all away NOT making their children's lives too damned easy for their own good. That poverty breeds poverty and visa versa is matter of genetics and most of all a *state of mind*.

About a decade ago after seeing a graph in Scientific American showing UV intensity bands across the USA from Florida to Montana and corresponding sever disease rates, auto immune to cancers, sometimes 25 to 45% difference between the highest to lowest intensity solar influx (not counting skin cancer, more radiation yielded dramatically lower rates) AND considering the obvious fact that old cultures near the equator vs farther from it determined UV blocking effectiveness of our skin types, from dark to blond or even redhead (blocking UV to admitting UV, with the exception of Eskimos who get their D from seafood). I made D3 a part of my routine.

  7536. I've been a big believer in D since reading a Sci American Mag article back in the '90's. A memorable chart showed bands of solar intensity across the USA and associated rates of cancers, autoimmune diseases, etc., there was a dramatic (15 to 45% say) increase of all of them going from Florida to Montana. Pigmented skin is generally better yet it must be diminished as one moves away from the equator and visa versa. (obviously dark skin is far safer in high intensity sun where D is not likely to be deficient) Redheads are sort of mutants, highly detrimental here in California, yet they may be better off in sun deprived Ireland.

But handing a drug addict money or making his life easier isn't usually helping them. More than happy to give them my leftovers from a nice restaurant say, or some surplus fruit, most appreciate it. NO not all homeless are addicts but most are. I have given money to some, food to others, job hunting tips to a few, depending on the individual. I've even paid for their cigarettes or a beer a few times just because they were honest and likable . I always attempt to respectfully make eye contact and offer common greetings--sounds trivial but they feel invisible and some simple engagement can mean a lot. I know how that feels. We can all start by simply treating them like anyone else. There are no easy or simple solutions ultimately. Cheap or free housing, free everything WILL NOT WORK. I don't have any bullet proof answers to the problem and no one else does either. It's a proper discussion to have and partial solutions are possible.

  7543.  @MassLox  When I'm ready I'll definitely go off the grid, see if they can stop me. Some laws were meant to be broken. How did I attack homeless ppl?? I'm simply attempting a reality check on those who make excuses for their circumstances and compare modern day living to slavery which is absurd. What I'm getting from many is excuses for their lack of success or happiness. NEVER in history have things been remotely perfect let alone fair, far less so than today in almost every instance yet that didn't keep a good man down and still doesn't. How about focusing on all the amazing things that we have simply been granted? All the inventions and infrastructure none of which we had to accomplish ourselves we were just born into it. And yes our freedom that you seem to take for granted and pretend it's not really that. Many had to crawl thru the mud over rotting bodies and die to get what we have and it's a hell of a lot better than what THEY ever had.

Quit being lazy and making excuses and exercise your freedom. There are tribes in the Amazon jungle that have never been contacted by civilization and wouldn't even be know about if not for their huts in clearings seen from the air, if they wanted to be out of sight no one would know they are there. Some Asian jungles have never been penetrated, Northern Canada and much of Alaska you can easily be entirely alone, thousands of islands in the middle of the ocean are unoccupied by humans....on and on. You are a slave to your own failure to take responsibility for yourself. Quit making excuses and embrace the effort necessary to advance your life. Do you really think there was ever a freer time or place on Earth??

Or if that sounds like "slavery to the laws of nature" (not sure who your going to whine to about that) and you happen to be American--you can create your own job. I didn't like the fact that I was caring several worthless union "workers" on my shoulders when I first started working in heavy industry at 17. Why shouldn't I make several times as much on my own I thought? So I saved every penny, invested every spare minute and money into my abilities and equipment, launched my OWN biz by the time I was 20 and never looked back. I had no assurance of success, no TV, no toys nor luxuries for several yr.s until skills significantly upgraded and established...THEN I could began to think about nicer things and activities. Sure I still have to pay taxes and some of that is flushed down the toilet or works against me but I use the roads and infrastructure, etc. I have a say in how or even if I'm taxed, a historically unique situation. I largely set my own hr.s and my wages are between me and my customers....pretty decent situation, if I want to bust my ass I can make a small fortune. Far better than any other time or place in history as flawed as it is. And yes--we have it easy by any realistic informed measure.

  7561.  @Parasmunt  The entropy of Earth can continuously decrease as I said before. Earth is in NO WAY a closed system. Yes we have done a lot of damage and consumed some resources we can not currently easily replace. I imagine I'm as horrified as you about what we are doing to the Amazon Jungle, oceans, on and on. HOWEVER--cosmic origin catastrophes that cause extinction events even far greater than what humanity has caused are likely much more common than generally thought. Not only the dinosaurs but even as recent as the Younger Dryas extinction event only some 12.5k yr.s ago, we currently have the technology to prevent. (we haven't quite developed it just yet but likely we will before it's too late, no guarantees obviously) It's a bit too Gaia Hypothesis for me but it's an interesting concept that man was 'meant' to prevent the next comet/asteroid killer impact. (some have suggested) But for sure it's likely that humanity will redeem ourselves by preventing the NEXT mass extinction event even much bigger than the one we have already caused and much of that damage may have been necessary to get us to that place where we can be the ultimate PROTECTORS of biodiversity. Make sense? (I'm not looking for an argument and largely agree with much of what you say, I'm only suggesting some complexity and another angle)

  7562.  @Parasmunt  Entropy has exactly NOTHING to do with it. That's a laughably false notion for folks who don't understand what entropy IS. As long as the sun shines the entropy of Earth can continuously DECREASE. The entropy of the universe as a WHOLE can only increase but that says nothing about any non-isolate part of it.

  7563.  @Parasmunt  Depends how far back you care to consider. No question we have done sever damage but we have seen it worse in America, before the EPA existed American rivers were often so polluted with industrial waste that they would catch on fire. Remember that? I do.

  7582.  @jackpleb2360  Yeah it was even known back in the '50's that the sun cannot go supernova, it's a function of mass, most stars are not big enough but that still leaves perhaps billions in a large galaxy that WILL eventually explode. This physics has been understood to that extent for over half a century. May I suggest a link or two that explains the basics? This guy is very watchable, clear and concise and has quite a few excellent vids on the topic. https://youtu.be/rdgOkSKPP1Y
    1
  7583.  @jackpleb2360  Certain conditions are required for a supernova to be possible, the sun is vastly too small, so unless you can come up with a scenario to merge a dozen or two more common size stars into the sun it's NOT POSSIBLE. How can you be commenting on this and not know that??
    1
  7584. @Jacob Zondag Supernova's are one of the most violent happenings in the universe, they briefly outshine an entire galaxy of 100's of billions of stars combined, we can see them across the universe. They also create most of the heavy elements where as the sun stops at iron which is too stable to easily fuse and ends the process unless the mass is great enough whence supernovas happen. Those explosions inject huge areas with all the elements we and Earth are made of. The old saying 'we are star dust' is literally true. Some of the heaviest elements are probably not created even in supernovas however, gold, platinum group, etc., are probably only created in neutron stars colliding with eachother...my current understanding anyway. About once per century or so we can expect a supernova in our galaxy, the nearest one ready to detonate, many times the size of the sun(sometimes pronounced 'Beatle juice')is the orange looking star in the Orion constellation and expected to detonate soon, with in a million yr.s or so, it's axis of rotation is fortunately not lined up with us or we could be in trouble with that one, could sterilize Earth, strip the atmosphere, as they emit extreme jets of high energy radiation from the poles. This is the reason that the galactic "habitable zone" is considered not near the center of the galaxy where stars are dense and explosions relatively common. ((pardon if that's TMI))

  7620.  @binra3788  Universal consciousness is a dubious hypothesis and the universe did fine long before any sort of consciousness we can conceive of was possible. There is no good reason to suspect the universe would look any different without any observers and plenty of reason to expect it would be essentially identical but it's untestable. I still don't know if you think that your thoughts can modify the laws of nature as many apparently do and THAT is somewhere between counterproductive and dangerous.

  7623.  @binra3788  And it's not "what I've been taught" it's what I understand, I know the Earth HAS to be aproximately spherical, it's simply not physically strong enough to assume any other shape given it's size. And if I know anything about anything I know you can't get energy out of nothing, understanding this allows me to dodge more bad ideas and bullshit than one would expect.
    1
  7624.  @binra3788  Sure. Still plenty of reason to say it's not possible to create mass or energy out of nothing or to go faster than light. Those who understand the limits of nature are the ones who invent things that actually work, not those who think they can violate them...ie., perpetual motion machines that folks fall for century after century.

I didn't call it a hoax, it's just obviously childish bullshit that a legion of Tesla Cultists have fallen for, like so many other popular myths...it gets endlessly repeated without critical consideration or basic understanding of nature by adherents. Anyway--it won't happen overnight but I expect the cheapest E-power ever is on the horizon in the form of solar with battery backup. Traditional electric utilities will one day enter a death spiral as folks increasingly go off-grid leaving ever higher prices for those still on-grid.

Pure ignorant speculation on my part: I'm thinking they will very badly want to be mass producing the new cells at both Austin and Berlin factories with first vehicles because major portions of the fundamental factory design and basic architecture of vehicles depends on new cell design.

Old Auto is in a real fix, most of their profits are from servicing which will disappear with EVs, they don't know how to make money on EVs, the dealer model is obsolete and they are burdened with legacy overhead like pensions and short term profit focus which will destroy them. VW will probably survive in some form.

  7702.  @Gardillus  Tesla made over 23% margins on the cars without carbon credits and 28% with them. No other mass produced cars are anywhere near that.

It's the same landscape for them...bc they are dying businesses that can't get their shit together, can't produce a competitive EV. GOOD RIDDANCE.

I get it, and frankly many of the Tesla owners I've crossed are, for lack of better terms...weirdos. I don't even want an EV or a new car I love driving my old analog manual BMW sports coupes for now and the foreseeable future. I'm all but certain they will be my last ICE cars tho. Soon Tesla cars will be ubiquitous and both the prestige and stigmas will fade away, it's just another car already in California for example.

  7705.  @Gardillus  Maybe you should actually tune into Munro, you obviously don't know anything about him, but HEY you already know everything better than anyone else on the planet so you are done learning. Right? Did you even notice that he started off panning the Model 3?? Yes they had serious production issues in the beginning, much of it due to hubris, but they quickly learned and changed. That's ancient history. T. just posted 28% profit margins across all their vehicles even while clearly offering by FAR the best values with exception of cheap "golf cart" like minimalist segment that they don't yet participate in. Anyone else making such profits at scale? Have you bothered to notice the critical vids on T. auto pilot/FSD? As I said before it's the ONE area T. should be embarrassed concerning time frames currently. (yes they were very late in past yr.s but over delivered on specs) As flawed as it is it's continuously incrementally advancing and those who have it usually, some exceptions, love it. Customers almost universally love the cars and FSD at $8k, those who opt for it, think it's easily worth it--most of your ascertions are simply proven false. When a car be autonomous without geo limits is hard to say but I'm sure Elon is a hell of a lot smarter than you, no offense, and he has reason to believe it's going to work with the hardware they have. (some of the older cars did need upgraded computers which Tesla did for free BTW). Our roads are entirely set up for VISUAL cues, that implies a mostly passive visual system should not only be one viable approach but essential. Lidar can't see lines, signs, etc. But there will be multiple autonomous solutions from multiple players and that's a good thing.

No need for 2nd tier vids just look at the original presentation it's ALL there....plus some context required. Can they mass produce them in a yr. or so is a big question which is nearly as much a risk as learning how to mass produce their first cars in 2018 which they barely survived. I think so, next 18 months will be very interesting.

Huge number of startups for all sorts of things as always, most won't make it far but competition is good and necessary. You can call me an idiot, that's fine, we don't know eachother it doesn't mean anything. However--by extension you are also calling the likes of Chamath Palihapitiya an idiot which should give you pause, it might not seem to matter if you aren't involved in stocks anyway but the implications are so massive you should want to know for general purposes. Your life and business WILL BE effected in profound ways, I can't say precisely how of course, not knowing what biz you are in, but major shifts are just beginning. How we move around, power and invest in our homes and businesses, utilities...auto mechanic shops will briefly thrive then die. (body shops will still be needed but auto mechanics and parts stores will become obsolete in time) Surface transport liquid fuels will begin to disappear along with all fossil fuels, coal was 1st to get hit hard but that's only the start. The implications are sweeping. Ultimately we will all live in a cleaner, significantly more prosperous environment.

  7709.  @Gardillus  You are going to be even more surprised than bankrupt Big Auto. Tesla has consistently beat their product specs albeit usually late. They have been worknig on new cells for several yr.s by now. A Shell Oil CEO said some 25 yrs ago: "The stone age didn't end because we ran out of rocks and the oil age won't end by running out of petroleum." He was more correct than he could have imagined given 10X affordable oil available since fracking tech was developed. We are on the shallow bottom of the S-curve for EV adoption, soon to hit the steep part of the slope, most will be caught by surprise how fast it happens. Disruptions never come from the old guard, they always come from outside. We won't miss F and GM and the rest anymore than we miss Sears, Kodak, etc. You probably don't care enough to bother but Sandy Munro could set you straight.

  7711.  @Gardillus  Your link is 3 yr.s old, you realize things change a LOT in that span? Seems most of your info is equally quaint. So where is the Renault Symbioz now? I understand Renault is selling some models well, do they FSD? FSD is the biggest embarrassment to date for Elon/Tesla and it's been largely dropped from the bull case for TSLA due to being yr.s behind schd and doubts that it will ever be driverless. But 1/4 of Tesla buyers are willing to pay $8k for the system as unfinished and flawed as it is, it's getting better all the time. That's nearly $8k to Tesla's bottom line and it's not the only example of high margin software extras. Tesla seems to have learned from optimistic timing predictions and have gone from Over Promise Under Deliver to UPOD, in some cases recently. They have always over delivered on product specs just failed time frames, often badly. I believe they are sandbagging the spectacular battery advancements recently explained, they can't afford to admit how soon they actually expect to offer new platforms as it will cannibalize current offerings severely. I know I'd wait if I was car shopping. Regardless who is right or wrong these are the most exciting times in automotive history in over a century.

  7712.  @Gardillus  BTW--have you tuned into Tesla's new batt tech? The "competitors" can barely match a 2012 Model S and now they are going to be chasing a vastly superior technology that will be cheaper, lighter and higher performance by about HALF. Old OEMs better pull a rabbit out of the hat fast, maybe a couple will but Tesla is the choice for the best and brightest young engineers. And if someone comes up with a major batt break through say?... where are they most likely to see it realized?....YUP--Tesla. If the old guard isn't panicking they are delusional. Many CEOs don't give a damn if their Co. survives beyond 2030 anyway, it's safer for them to protect 'profits' today than lose money to invest in an attempt to salvage a future for the Co. That's the problem with shortsighted markets and executive compensation, yet another area ripe for disruption.

Waymo, lol, yeah they operate a few dozen within a city or two. That might be a competitor except for $150k of extra gear protruding all over the car like a back yard hack job and the complete lack of flexibility, geo fenced, etc. A Model 3 is cheaper to own over 5 yrs of average use than a Toyota Camry, TODAY. In 3 yr.s the next Tesla will be the cheapest NEW car to own full stop. (given 15k miles per yr.) That's the end of ICE, if you can't see it now you will in 5 yrs. You go ahead and short Tesla or whatever. I've gained a modest fortune off you shrill dudes with blinders on who don't know what ran over them until it's out of sight down the road. Hahaha

  7714. ​ @Gardillus  The huge gap is VALUE, efficiency, software, motors, batts, etc. And it's going to be much bigger gap in a few yr.s. Is there anything you'd want to own for say $45k? Polstar 2 maybe but of course it also has software that doesn't work just as all the old OEMs are going to face. They have no expertise in anything that matters going forward, no electronics or software abilities at all. Innovation?? Really! Name a few examples? Maybe Merc can merge with BMW and they can downsize to stay alive, VW has a shot to survive but the US brands are completely fucked frankly with F and GM having 4 to 5X more debt then market cap. Good riddance. Who has this imaginary R&D budget? Toyota and Honda maybe?

"To each his need, from each his ability." Sound familiar? Sound good or prescription for hell? Sound approximately like Bernie's agenda? That quote defines Communism accurately in a single short sentence and results in total destruction of everything that matters, environment to basic human rights and obviously prosperity. Top 10% pay 70% of taxes in America. Poor pay zero income tax which is fine, and they receive all sorts of help, also fine. I have limited sympathy for those reproducing before they can even take care of themselves, that's the norm in many instances and utterly irresponsible. Any idea how hard it is to find a skilled 'man' with integrity for any number of trade jobs? Anyone with any business having a family can make 6 figures and more in the trades today and for decades. Instead of wiping out luxury industries and the jobs associated with them, which your proposals would obviously do--how about addressing the extreme waste in government 1st? Interesting you talk about "gamer chair" as tho anyone struggling has any biz playing games ! Seriously?? Why does wealth equality even matter? To me it's all about absolute wealth , it matters NONE to me that someone else has achieved 1M X more prosperity that I as long as I have a shot at prosperity also and we in America all have plenty of opportunity . Poverty is obscene, excess wealth NEVER IS, but that's exactly what Bernie promotes. He'd be fine with universal poverty which of course is equality of results not equality of opportunity and the results of Bernie's agenda. (as long as he was one of the chosen ruling class living in privilege) "The most successful form of Capitalism is slavery" pure indoctrinated BULLSHIT Exactly equivalent to saying "freedom of movement and thought is rape murder and pillaging" Free enterprise is NOT OPTIONAL, it's called Capitalism and it does NOT include slavery, utterly idiotic and obviously taught to you by Marxists. NO one would come up with that nonsense on their own.

Ultimately results are what I care about and while I've never aligned with either party I'm far more concerned about the loss of fundamental freedoms, censorship, manufacturing fear, undermining free enterprise, lockdowns, authoritarian acceptance in America today which happens to be considerably more prevalent on the Left. Looking at the sun? So what? Didn't hurt my eyes and his are his own biz. Wife slapping his hand?? Maybe she should have simply divorced him, also none of my biz or concern. The point about Reagan is the long time the Left has dominated corporate media. Bill Clinton was the best Republican prez of my time (matters none that he carried Dem label except he gets an easier time in the press) Reagan wasn't brilliant but he had some good values, minus some nonsense and a scary SDI program. If Reagan were running today he'd be trashed just like Trump unless he happened to wear a Dem label.

  7732.  @davidbeppler3032  I have to think how much of my "Mr. T. must go" sentiment wasn't driven by Left wing media indoctrination we were all inundated with. Versus results and reality. I remember the hysteria from the Left when Reagan was running: "He's a dumb cowboy who'll get us into a nuclear war!" "He's just a dumb B-movie actor." "He doesn't have any experience." On and on...

  7745.  @mho0  The goal is safe long lasting reliable batts and I think that has largely been achieved already, for some options, and definitely will be. Don't plan on doing maintenance but instead make them maintenance free for say 1/2M miles.
    1
  7746.  @mho0  One of my assumptions is that "Supercharging" times will approach 15 minutes in the coming yrs, well before the end of decade. I could be wrong about that but it appears that's where it's going, that to me largely negates the primary swap argument and swapping will cost significantly more if only to pay for attendant. It might be informative that Tesla early adopters were not interested in the swap proposal offered back then even when range and charging options were a lot worse.
    1
  7747.  @mho0  Great points. A quality mfg won't have any batt pack issues for half a M miles. You won't have the volume available for 150kwh anytime soon, not on most car designs, but around 100 plus. A swappable batt will demand a heavier less efficient, marginally more expensive chassis which translates to lower range and less electric efficiency too. Mass is your enemy. But as you said, the smaller 'daily' pack would benefit you in that respect so maybe it's a wash. I don't think the tradeoffs would be worth it to me but options and competition are always good. Super chargers probably cost 2% of a swap station but you may need 20 to 30 of them to match the swap station capacity.
    1
  7748.  @mho0  Say it takes 5 min to perform a swap and the station is running full speed (small line of cars constantly) and it takes 1 hr to cycle the batts, that would only be a dozen packs required but meanwhile you pay not only for the full time attendant plus significant chunk of a 2nd batt. If the station is running at that rate your likely to have a few cars in front of you so 15 or 20 minutes to get in and out vs. a "Supercharger" 30 min to deliver extra 200 miles of range. I'll opt for the cheaper option and plug in myself where I'm paying only for the electric with say a 20% mark up. (assuming there are enough chargers that you almost never wait for one, reasonable given you can buy 50 chargers for every swap station) If there is no line at the swap station then you have to also pay for the employee idle time between cars. Granted in China labor is still cheap but in the USA the combination of paying for the employee, extra infrastructure and batts is surely going to add some 50% to the price of charging. No? (((yes those numbers are guesses but reasonable)))
    1
  7749.  @mho0  That's a good point, maybe only say 1.5 or less per car and a modest size warehouse of packs at every station. Failed biz model regardless unless the CCP is going to subsidize the heck out of them indefinitely. That's assuming there is only ONE size/shape of pack which is naturally another penalty to that method...severely restricts car design and purchase options.

  7751.  @tigeroll  Yeah, NO. You really think contractors are so stupid as to not have already approximated that condition? Sure we can add welders, compressors, saws, machine guns, etc., but to to suggest the suspension compressor is going to be useful for much else is laughable.
    1
  7752.  @adamcnessesq  Impossible to miss, perhaps they will have an option for many of these things. I have much bigger problems with the 3 mm SS shell, first off the doors will be about double the wt. of regular truck doors which are already a handful if the vehicle is leaned much when parked as it will be often off road. Also the Frunk lid will be damn heavy even as small as it is and the entire front end needs to be crumple space, how is that going to happen with such ridiculously thick tough material? Finally--the cost of such SS is relatively extreme making a joke of the "saving money on painting" notions.

  7753. A suspension air compressor won't have the capacity to do much work, it will need to be a much bigger unit to be useful on the job.

No way it will be me, I'm too attached to an atmosphere I can live in, trees, running water, potent sunshine, life, etc. Mars will be an icy HELL.

  7755.  @bloodaid  The roadster to space was a dead weight TEST of the launch vehicle and has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. It was either that or a 'load of bricks', the roadster was more fun. If you think the Cybertruck is for anything but earth use you are in space yourself. Who here would purchase it otherwise? Get real man. BTW--the whole Mars thing is a fantasy, not about to happen. Try living off the land at the South Pole of Earth 1st, that's a million X easier. You want to demonstrated that for us?

  7756.  @bloodaid  Here is an example: If you could load the space shuttle with as much gravel as it could carry and turn it into pure gold via simply taking it to orbit and back you'd lose money doing it assuming the gravel was FREE. Space X is an order of magnitude less expensive but it's still ridiculous not to trim every ounce possible AND low Earth orbit is not escaping from Earth which takes substantially more.

  7757.  @bloodaid  Completely irrelevant. Do the arithmetic on how many DOLLARS per kg it takes to get an object out of Earth's gravity well vs. selecting or designing a proper vehicle for the project. BTW--Cyber truck weight will be more like 3000kg, ....680 LMAO!

  7775.  @davidbeppler3032  I doubt that, there is Li and other valuable metals involved along with the pack box itself (if that counts here). It depends on how efficient recycling is compared to mining/milling, possible that even iron can be extracted profitably.

  7777.  @cd947  When they 1st rolled CT out I, as many, thought it was a joke, then I was regretting the pile of stock I had THEN I began to like it. NOW it makes all other brands look like grandma's grocery getters, cheap cheesy chrome plastic grills and pointless fragile crap all around just to make it different from prior yr. The profile is weird but I'm long ago good with it all and do believe it will look much better in person. All wheel steer should be a real attribute too. Lightening has inadequate range and maybe other specs.
    1
  7778.  @cd947  GOOD to hear that! I may be underestimating it in that regard and I'd bet you a beer you'll love the aesthetics too after a while. (at least warm up to it) The Lightening will be inferior in many ways but that 'no lift over' frunk is going to be superior, plus easy access outlets there but CT can offer a bunch of power outlets. The suspension compressor, if it's only made for that capacity, is not enough for a lot of other uses but maybe T will up it's performance too.

I bet going from a medical emergency to a fire doesn't happen once pre yr and they would probably beat the fire trucks there anyway AND it's not a matter of 10X more types of vehicles...it's maybe 1 more. Any idea how much it costs to roll a big ostentatious "glory" fire truck??
    1
  7787.  @jeffbransky7966  I could see that angle especially as fires are relatively rare today, but much faster response could be had with an agile smaller vehicle for those types of situations where limited gear and personnel are required. I think it's an image/ego thing too--"firefighters" like a big "manly" truck and a big presence.

  7803.  @danieldeblasio9368  Anyway I wish Nikola (and you) sincere best of luck. But hope is not an investment strategy I could be wrong, sort of hope I am, but my assessment is they are riding the wave created by Tesla, milking it for all it's worth and I have zero EVIDENCE to suggest otherwise at this time. They have demonstrated essentially nothing at this point. I looked for it. The fact (not aimed at you necessarily) that the NKLA fans are clearly dominated by wishful thinking kids new to markets who don't know TSLA from Bitcoin other than the current price trajectory is not encouraging. Bottom line for me--the more young folks investing (not just gambling) in markets the better for all of us. I hope they don't get crushed and forever after discouraged from stocks. When one of us gains a lot all of us gain a little. :D

  7804.  @danieldeblasio9368  As for the CCP I don't know and I don't think you do either, serious risks are always involved. As for the competition we've been hearing that for half a decade and SO FAR there is only one, the Polstar 2, can they mass produce it I'm not sure. ALL of the rest are laughable OR in different categories. But we need competition, there is room for many. TSLA could get cut in half and I'm still sitting pretty. How about YOU? How much have YOU GAINED recently? Possibly you should be listening and learning instead of spouting off? Just a thought!

  7805.  @danieldeblasio9368  The fact that you have a childish emotional reaction to a dispassionate reasonable challenge pretty much tells all. One can trade anything but let me give a snapshot distinction between gambling and investing--I followed Elon and Tesla closely for a decade before finally gaining confidence, conviction enough to INVEST my hard earned capital on it in 2018, it's NOT EASY nor fast money. Think about it.

  7833.  @bangerbangerbro  IF that sounds compelling your first response would likely be: "I don't know where to start!" Fortunately it's far easier and cheaper today than a couple decades ago. One simply opens an online broker account, it's free until you buy/sell a stock then you pay a modest transaction fee of maybe 4 to $7 regardless of the size of purchase/sale. Then transfer $X into broker account from your bank account and your on your way. Once you purchase a few shares, maybe just one share in a few different companies--you will automatically begin your self education on the topic as you'll be invested, however small, and become at least a little interested in market news, strategies, etc. (Pardon unsolicited advice from a stranger)

  7834.  @bangerbangerbro  The stock price largely reflects not only past performance/profits but more so future expectations. "Market Capitalization" is simply the number of shares X the price per share which defines the total value of the Co. It was only a few yr.s ago a common topic of market speculation who would become the very 1st trillion $ company, now that several have breached (at least temporarily) that psychological number it's been sort of forgotten about. Both Amazon and Microsoft make much or most of their money on cloud services. Apple makes most from it's "recurring revenue stream"--monthly fees for services not hardware anymore as one might think. All 4 are worth considering to own long term, I'm in MSFT and will get back into AMZN again. I'd suggest you owe it to yourself to dip your toe in the market, just a few shares perhaps at first, in a company you have confidence and conviction in. It's still the best way for most of us to grow/multiply our hard earned savings over time.

  7872.  @wylldflower5628  Not sure what "new thinking" applies here. All in rough approximations: plates move on the order of 1 to 3 centimeters per yr relative to each other, but they 'stick' grind and flex (wind up) near faults. Intuitively, they make up for a century or 3 all at once when they rupture, longer the wait the bigger the slip/energy released. 4 or 6 on Richter Scale are tiny compared to an 8, a 9 is more than 10X bigger than an 8. On the higher end, sudden offsets of several meters happen. (Problem with log scales is ppl don't understand them, but otherwise we'd be talking about a 10 to a 1M quake) 4 is barely perceivable, a 6 won't likely wake you up, a 9 may level your house but certainly will define your yr if nearby. Plates are driven by viscous magma under the influence of massive convection currents, they can only move so fast, reliving the stress won't have much effect on average plate movement. Stands to reason that if you could frack entire fault line, say('grease' it hypothetically), gradual movement is safe, pent up energy, wound spring release is not.
    1
  7873.  @wylldflower5628  How can it possibly NOT release the stress? No doubt releasing one section will further load adjacent sections, that's a separate thing. Darn good reason that after a major quake you don't expect another big one in same area anytime soon. Likewise, as time goes on the risk continuously builds along with the stress. Hypothetically you could release ALL the stress on an entire fault before it gradually builds up again, not hard to understand.

Think in terms of an endless supply of Soviet H-bombs, these are not the firecrackers dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, NO disrespect nor diminishment of those. H-bombs are 100's X more powerful, measured in MEGAtons of TNT, not a dozen kilotons. They don't just level most of a cities structures they leave a vast crater and incinerate everything on the surface for dozens of miles around. We had enough to kill everyone on Earth about 50X over. Not sure what the CCP has but I don't think it compares to what we faced in 1970's and before from both the USA and USSR. It was truly insane. We were taught in grade school from day one and had drills, how to get under a desk, bend over "and kiss your ass goodbye". We still have far too many, one Trident sub can take out some 250 cities, all the major cities of the USSR say...just ONE submarine with MIRVed ICBMs.

That's the a red herring, "it's either I'm responsible for YOUR health care or you die from neglect". Right? One extreme or another you were taught and you mindlessly regurgitate it. The vast majority of disease in America is due to lifestyle choices, mainly food. If I have to pay for others health care I demand about half the food in the market to be banned or taxed 50%. I demand everyone get up with me at 4:30 am for a 10km run, then weights, and I get to determine your diet. Don't even THINK about having a beer after work.

And that Tesla has the highest satisfaction/loyalty and repeat buyer rating in history for a reason? Your best alternatives will probably be the wave of Chinese brands just beginning. No one's going to be buying ICE much longer.
    1
  7978. Keep in mind this is probably an exceptional situation that: A) will be corrected and NOT representative of company policy, B) indicates an employee(s) that need to be canned. But just the hassle already cost the guy plenty.

  7979. It would use entire battery, just limit charging cap. Likely this is NOT Tesla policy but a few employees who need to be fired.
    1
  7980. You'll probably change your mind if you care about costs and other practicle aspects. Hard to justify paying 4X more per mile with ICE. I'm in no hurry either but buying a new ICE car seems insane, current BMWs will be my last ICE cars. Also you will need to avoid any new car as ICE too will have similar issues.

  7981. Couple trivial technical issues with Louis comments: Lithium is a relatively tiny component of Li batts, it's just that it's in all chemistries of the type, it's not hundreds of pounds but more like 10lbs. 2nd--there are no Rare Earths in these batteries....totally besides the point, just say'n. I appreciate this sort of thing being brought to our attention, as a Tesla fan they need to do a lot better with servicing quality, consistency and communication. That won't happen without awareness of the problems.
    1
  7982. Marginally yes, on the other hand he may get an extra 100k miles out of the battery that is so limited. I don't think this is Tesla policy, more likely indicates a few employees should be canned or at least disciplined.
    1
  7983. How much do you need? My BMW ICE only has about 300 miles which means 250 practically as you want some margin. Charging time is maybe more important, for many an extra 250 miles takes some 30 minutes, if your driving 600 miles/day that means 2 modest length breaks you probably want anyway. That time will approach 15 minutes in the near future.

  7988.  @BetterDeadThanRed99  Replace "force" with voluntary trade in almost every one of those situations above. Your conclusions are laughably overstated to go along with the rest of the hyperbole. In effect you are saying everyone else in the world are idiots for taking our dollars for anything They take 'em as a bet on the future productivity of America which has always worked in the past. Yes we may see double digit inflation, possibly as bad as early 1980's even and we may forfeit the dollar as reserve currency. We export airliners, computers, military hardware (perhaps unfortunately), ALL SORTS of agriculture goods, 80% of the vast fields of almonds/walnuts produced in N. Cali are exported, soy beans, corn, coal, software, Tesla cars, all sorts of high tech stuff, on and on and on.... I've lived thru SO MANY doomsday prognostications I can't even remember them all in one sitting. One thing they all had in common--the folks making the predictions always did so with arrogant superiority and high confidence, sometimes they are even convincing. And those who believed in them usually paid very high price for their self deception. What's your personal reaction to your brilliant predictions? Paralysis? A bunker with a decade of food water and ammunition? Piles of gold bullion and bitcoin? I have high indispensable skills that will be useful for trading short of a nuclear holocaust or KT extinction event, along with growing self sufficiency on my own modest lot and 6 moths of emergency long term food stores and relations with highly productive farmers. Meanwhile I continue to advance my life and build real assets, I can retire comfortably today but I can also continue to create $150/hr. I just refuse to work long hrs per week anymore and I wouldn't sit on large quantities of cash regardless....$20k max. As a child I lived thru over a decade of very real threat of thermal nuclear exchange with the USSR.... that was far worse than any of your fears and it was entirely justified paranoia. Everyday could be our last. Yet we kept on living and investing and most of us became prosperous. (frankly we should fear an accidental nuking much more than we do, but that's a tangent)

  7989.  @BetterDeadThanRed99  And yet YOU are so enlightened and far TOO smart to learn any more? No insult but out of curiosity--how old are you? I ask because I also overreacted in my late teens, as so many of us do. Lucky for me I thought the end of free enterprise was near so I rushed to start my own contracting biz at 20 right in the middle of the worst recession I've ever experienced and double digit inflation. It was tough sledding for a few yrs but I never regretted it, stuck it out and eventually thrived. But everything was much harder back then including NO INTERNET, frequent trips to the library were required but not remotely as effective or efficient as today's options.

  7991.  @BetterDeadThanRed99  Everything has NEVER BEEN FINE, get over it. Some folks always thrive regardless and others always wallow in self pity and excuses for personal failure. The only thing that's certain is failure if you don't invest intelligently in something , no matter what era you are trapped in. I've seen much worse times, but yes the reckless printing will cost us and 'crashes' will happen. The only reason ppl got hurt during 2008/9 crash was undisciplined emotional reactions to the market and stupid mortgages they couldn't afford. Had they simply rode it out they'd done very well by now.
    1
  7992. You haven't even experienced significant inflation, it was up to 15 or 18% (if memory serves) in the early 1980's. Things are far better today overall, but YEAH the reckless printing by DC is going to cost us.
    1
  7993. Normal is living hand to mouth which is an extremely expensive life style, instead of living well BELOW one's means and getting ahead. Don't be normal. (yes a tangent, just say'n!) I'd be inclined to wait until the 'bubble pops' but in fact I bought my shack right about the last peak and I'm glad I did, it's not so much an investment as a place to live where no one can tell you what to do with your own dirt.

  8001.  @matthysburger8966  Not a scam, it will be a real thing and Tesla may have a monopoly for a while outside geofenced areas and it might be the best system, it will likely be the most cost effective/profitable but yes the competition will be heavy and the customer will be the big winner.

  8040. "The right to fail" was so inherently a part of the American ethic it never needed to be said half a century ago. The fact that 70% of the population doesn't even have $1k saved for emergencies is also a systemic threat and we've bailed them out both in 2009 and this yr. I've yet to meet the hand-to-mouther who didn't have discretionary spending habits be it a coffee shop or pack of cigs. A daily Starbucks habit is easily 2 to $3k per yr....that's real money for most of us.

  8043.  @wilhoroshak6253  2 hours? 30 minutes is closer to reality and it's decreasing every yr. U need not babysit charging, plug in walk away and do whatever, meal, walk the dog, pee. Plus there's no friction in the process, no card swipe or cash at the counter, just plug in and it's done. (using a Supercharger) Naturally most folks most of the time never visit a public station, just charge overnight at home. Not saying available options for BEV tow rig meet your needs just yet, likely not, but it's not ridiculously impractical as U present.

  8044. How many miles do U need per day? Few bucks of electric overnight plugged in at home gives another 200 plus miles. On road trips, say across Canada, U need 30 minutes every 200 miles, time to pee, eat and walk the dogs/kids.

  8059.  @garethdean6382  The stage for microbe origins is 'nearly infinite' on Earth alone and there could be an inevitability of life forming in certain conditions. Earth is enough for abiogenesis, as far as we know, even in a few ten million yr.s, but it can live on bodies it wouldn't have originated on too. One of my pet fascinations. No claims of certainty just my tentative understanding.
    1
  8060.  @garethdean6382  I thought the concept was dubious when I first heard of it early '90's. Since having learned how common, over millions of yr.s, stuff get's blasted off planets and moons from impacts above escape velocity and land on Earth and every other body, with only surface cooking, many microbes could survive the interior of a small meteor frag., high G's means nothing to them. They are fairly cool by the time they hit the ground interior doesn't get hot necessarily, at least hitting Earth we know and we can simulate the rest. We can resurrect multi million yr. old 'dead' organisms dug deep out of Earth (so I'm told). Certainly 40k yr. frozen bacteria come back to live when thawed. We retrieved a camera left on our moon for several months, some insulation in the cam was infested with happy bacteria....from Earth but a surprise. Bacteria thriving in boiling hot springs, on the surface of the space station (reportedly from contact with near zero atmosphere!) Thriving in nuclear reactors, 2 miles below our feet in solid rock with extremely low metabolism....on and on and on.... It's easier for me to comprehend that then abiogenesis happening as fast as it needed to on Earth...NOT ruling that out but the stage could be astronomic instead of just Earth. I can connect the dots on inter stellar panspermia likelihood, previously I'd only said within the solar system. Now I realize star systems even get ejected from their galaxy, shotgunned across the local cosmos if they can take their planets with them they will deliver life to neighboring galaxies occasionally! (yes that could take billions of yr.s, wild idea but I believe in the persistece of MICROBIAL life to that degree, I'd bet big bucks we find microbes on half a dozen Sat./Jupiter moons and Mars and I'd bet a little that it's related to Earth life) Pardon my rant! :D

  8062.

Once wasted $200 of my otherwise productive day (couple hrs) to send a friend $40... never again Spent an extra $10 for a gallon of special stuff from Amazon vs Walmart which is $10 well spent compared to driving across town and enduring that dismal dump. Drop it on my porch or it's useless service. The poor are so bc their time is cheap and they don't notice it costs them $15 to DRIVE to the store and back ....think about multiple angles on that! ;-)

  8112.  @sshuriksevo  Yes--absolutely and tremendous sympathies for the tens of millions in that space. I support temporary use of MY tax monies to help bridge the shutdown insanity. And I've been tipping bigger then ever for what it's worth...my few bucks here and there as gratitude, good will and wanting to help. But very soon we must allow the marketplace to do it's thing and let failures happen, things change and you can't have progress without embracing business failure. Ppl have increasingly learned to work and do biz remotely so offices (along with associated services, etc) airline capacity and so on, may be greatly reduced. LET the airlines go bankrupt, 'streamline' and downsize. We can't expect prosperity without allowing free enterprise to work which absolutely requires allowing business failures. I've been lucky as I contract for agricultural industrial machinery, heavy equipment in general, didn't get effected as 'exempt essential sectors' (are not all sectors essential?) but I was still coming unhinged for what the shutdowns do to the nation as a whole and the loss of freedom. (Was also lucky in 2008/9 as home construction collapsed AFTER I had already half leaned my biz away from that arena.)

  8126.  @LastDays77  Tangent: every yr I raise my rates a minimum of the official inflation rate. That was 10% yr before last, always makes me uneasy and #1 customer mentioned it with a smile but didn't complain. I said: "That's not a raise it's staying EVEN." And it is. Failing to increase at inflation rate every yr is cutting your rate, if you have the demand and/or have increased your productivity--typically we do as we get better all the time--increase even more. It can be one of the hardest things to do for established customers, to increase rates, but must be done. Doing it consistently for new yr maintains predictability as best possible, not some random increase mid yr.

  8128.  @jasonkoplen2554  "Jacked up trucks, boats..." that tells a lot, toys before prudence, they weren't prepared for even a small downturn but instead probably in debt as tho nothing would ever go South. Around that time I was also heavily dependent on housing market, mostly indirectly. The crash changed a lot but I never slowed down, just accelerated my phasing into agriculture related and industrial customers. Not so easy for a carpenter or homebuilder however, I was lucky to be more broadly useful as well as prudently debt free.

That's NOT profit but revenue. Yeah it must be a trade in demand and be smart about how and who you serve. For me that means avoiding retail, residential sort of work w rare exceptions for friends, neighbors and top tier customers. Serve business and industry, they know the value of integrity efficiency quality and enduring. Many directions on may go with it tho.

  8151.  @jeremytine  You are still manipulated by establishment propaganda and nonsense. Vast majority of Tesla "defects" were over the air software fixed in days. Owners didn't even need to know about them. (other mfgs can't even do OTA). Corrupt Consumer Reports simply tallies the 'defects' as tho a Toyota's wheels falling off (it's BEV) is the same as a paint defect. How does one know your Tesla info is bullshit? Because there is no brand even close on owner loyalty and satisfaction despite some flaws that are fewer every month. Many don't like the stiffer ride, I get that and so does Tesla, new versions have softer ride, and SO ON. Whatever real you may have learned about Tesla from last yrs news is history, they iterate constantly. ALL legacy autos spend billions (some "only" half a B) every yr advertising, aka., manipulating public opinion and purchasing media propaganda. Your Prius is crap in the Sierras, my neck o woods, batt range runs out in the foothills then it's rubbish ICE struggles for next 3 hrs whilst you fearfully study rearview hoping to not be rear-ended by a bicycle. If you think hybrids have a future in a BEV world you are simply WAY out of touch. OK I got it, anyone who owns a Prius hates driving. (I can see why) But how about a car that costs 1/4 as much to operate and needs nothing but tires and windshield washer fluid? Might you actually learn to enjoy driving if it wasn't a wobbly wagon with atrocious handling and acceleration? How about safety? You'll be dead in your Prius in an accident you'll walk away from in a Tesla, simple fact. You WILL go BEV for one reason--economics, probably sooner than you think. There will be nothing about your 20th century antique you miss. I'm done with this silliness now. Have a nice yr!

  8152.  @jeremytine  You need to update yourself in a couple yrs--charging time will be 15 minutes (30 at a crap station or crap car) for an additional 250 miles. Do you not take a break a couple times on a 600 mile road trip? How often do you drive that far anyway? Imagine being able to climb a long grade at any speed you like instead of clogging the road with that 35 hp ICE Prius at 45mph. Prius has last century technology, new batteries, LFPs, are heading to 1 million miles. Imagine a car that's FUN to drive instead of painful dog Prius, I doubt you really can until you try even a marginal BEV. Toyota apparently going to die clinging to it's old tech.

  8153.  @jeremytine  More seriously--always been impressed with Toy for Prius, as an econobox. But it's long since outdated. Upgrading can wait for those who don't drive that much and want to stretch pennies. 'Cheap' BEVs far better than Prius will be available soon enough.

How do you account for Warm Period, Little Ice Age or regular devastating ice ages. Can't be CO2! Water vapor accounts for 70% of greenhouse effect and a host of other gasses make up the rest, CO2 a small player that diminishes as it increases, that is each additional amount add has less effect than the prior same additional increase. YES there is a tight corolation, most of the time, between CO2 levels and temperature, as often as not, CO2 lags temperature, not the other way around. That makes sense as oceans harbor 40X more than the atmosphere and warmer water holds less CO2. So which is driving which? Seems to be temp driving CO2, not the other way around, prior to humanities influence at least.

  8232.  @The-Wide-Angle  To clarify the 1.5C, could have been 1.4 and it was the peak I believe, not necessarily the average over that time frame. But it's relevant regardless, we may be experiencing a peak right now, we don't know. Climate models don't work, we can't predict what will happen later this century let alone when the next glacial max is coming, could also be this century and CO2 won't likely save us from it, but should slightly mitigate the risk of dropping to levels that end the biosphere as we know it, the next time colder oceans absorb 'half' of atmospheric CO2 again. We are late in this interglacial period historically and they can come pretty quickly, better warmer than colder.

  8270.  @dailypovs7800  The extenders are fragile looking I might add, very light wt. at least. Another thing I'd delete is the silly headlight squirters, those are only useful on snowy roads, the LAST place I'll ever drive it. Less is more in some cases. I realize some put winter tires on them and drive in snow but that's a ridiculous use of this car IMO, total waste, may as well have a cheap Toyota and put up the M3 for winter.

  8271.  @dailypovs7800  That may be easy for you but the fuse is a no brainer for me, takes seconds and just as easy to reverse. Appreciate the thought tho.

  8277.  @RaGeAlucard  2 yr.s ago I initially was looking for a nice E46 M3 but they were scarce with a manny and $20k plus where as E92's were 20 to $40k plus and I began to realize how big a step there was between the two in terms of power, tech, transmissions, interior.... Ultimately I just fell in love with the S65 V8. The worst user experience aspect of my 330 is the tranny, it's durable but not particularly pleasant to use, reviewers may criticize the E92 6spd but it's vastly better than the old 5spd.
    1
  8278.  @RaGeAlucard  In all likelihood the E92 M3 will be my last BMW just because it will be my last ICE car. Hell of a good way to end the petrol era however.
    1
  8279.  @RaGeAlucard  I thought they back tracked on that but I don't follow closely cars I'm not shopping for. Yeah it's a flaw not having motor oil dipstick.

  8286. I applaud BMW for ignoring decades worth of criticism of their cup holders, if that's one's priorities they deserve a rubbish Chrysler not THIS.
    1
  8287.  @spirosgal1885  To clarify--move it lightly to 1st 'detent' and it blinks one to three times depending on your selected settings, 3 blinks is typically perfect for most lane changes or merging, move it a little harder to 2nd detent and it behaves like any other signal staying on until your turn is complete and self cancelling. If one is hamfisted they may have a problem with it but they have no biz driving a car like this anyway IMO.
    1
  8288. Nothing wrong with the signals, it may take a day or two to get used to them and then you will like a little more or a little less than others. I have come to like it.

  8289.  @andrez1142  He must have taken it to a dealer. I've changed all the fluids myself just like any other car, it's not especially difficult, I do pay a lot for fluids but NOT BMW prices!...let alone their labor rates. I'm guessing I'd have DIYed all that maintenance for a grand or less. It's not a Toyota, if you can't fairly easily afford, say $100 for motor oil and filter every 5k miles and maybe $700 for rear tires every 10 to 30k miles then it's not for you. For me it's worth it so far.

  8317. This is PART of the reason I was shopping an E46 M3 but switched to an E92 M3 which I purchased for a little TOO MUCH $35k...but it was SINGLE owner, pristine, low miles, manual, comp. pkg., lite color, NO MODS...checked all my boxes. When I see 4 or 5 previous owners on a 10 yr. old car I assume all were "renters", no long term investment in the welfare of said car.

  8318. TOTALLY agree with understated over the current trend. The loose lousy manual trans feel is THE worst aspect of my old 330 and that M5 apparently...strong gear boxes but they feel WAY below par for the rest of the car....could be a deal breaker resonably.

All those batteries will be treated as high grade ore , endlessly recycled. The slave labor thing is BULLSHIT, mining is required for everything we do, slave labor is not. Climate alarmism is BS, and so is this vid.

  8355.  @JEP-Tech  I don't think anything is going to compete with BEVs even for long range semis, hybrids are way too complicated. Nor will anyone but Tesla be able to mass produce them at a good profit. (that I know of) But the market will decide, options and competition are imperative. Hydrogen is DOA tho and yet still some are promoting that dead end.
    1
  8356.  @JEP-Tech  You make some good points but are missing some key considerations that I won't write a page to explain here. Pepsi is getting some of first Tesla semis in December and we'll all get to see how they fair. Ramping up to 50k semis per yr in 2024 Tesla won't come close to meeting demand IMO. Goes without saying that ruthless economics rules that space so demand will tell the story.
    1
  8357.  @ardendragoon  NOPE. YOU are being sold a crock of crap. We subsidize the hell out of fossil fuels, trillions just in the US Navy to protect oil shipping lanes alone. MY income taxes when that should come from the gas pump...oh well, life ain't fair, never was. Batts are completely recyclable endlessly, high grade ORE. You are WAY out of date. I don't own or want an EV, still love my 3-pedal BMW V8, don't be a presumptuous prick. My Commifornia is a joke and those mandates don't mean SHIT, they are irrelevant. The transition is happening way faster than that all by itself despite the vastly higher rate of subsidies for fossil fuels. Until next yr Teslas haven't had any subsidies in yrs, let alone balancing the fossil fuel subsidies, yet they out sell everything else in Commifornia bc they are just BETTER. You'll soon see, not going to argue further.
    1
  8358.  @thehighllama8101  Keep in mind some $6 trillion of global annual subsidies for fossil fuels that the BEV subsidies don't come close to balancing and yet they are still winning. Eliminating fossil subsidies would be the way to go but not about to happen. Just the perception of "being forced" is enough for me to appose the subsidies and mandates. NOT NEEDED, you will be driving or riding in a BEV long before 2035 regardless. And you'll love it. Our lousy politicians will take credit for a revolution they had nothing good to do with. Already cheap decent BEVs out of China and Tesla will have an excellent offering, 30 to $35k, 140MPGe or so, in only a couple yrs. And they will last 1M miles with minimum maintenance.
    1
  8359.  @spacebound1969  I know well, third generation mining background. Grandfather made fortune in Philippine copper mining. The good thing is that most metals can and will be recycled efficiently endlessly. The clue is in the purchase price (unsubsidized) of BEV vs ICE, all the costs including energy to mine are included in that price (excluding externalities like environment which petrol doesn't have a leg to stand on) and it's reaching parity between BEV and ICE.

  8362.  @mmurph2686  The political climate is abysmal here in Commifornia. The 3035 mandate is a joke, the transition will happen before then anyway but tyrant Newsom will claim credit for what he had nothing good to do with. No one will want a new ICE in a few yrs. The grid will adapt just as it did when air conditioning was adopted over a ten yr period requiring 30% more electric. I intend to power everything off my own roof as will many.

  8363. This is condescending elementary view of subject. ECONOMICS will rule and that's proven to be BEVs, simply a matter of pennies per mile. Doesn't matter if you disagree the market place will tell the truth. Relax, let it play out.

  8370.  @dk-bw4gk  Zero evidence from you either, both of us just making ascertions. Mine are based on numerous 2nd hand accounts and actual numbers. When it comes time for me to seek an economical car it will clearly be a BEV, wouldn't touch a new ICE today as the depreciation is going to be extreme. Meanwhile I expect to continue to make a modest fortune continue to multiply, an opportunity in part created by misconceptions like yours. My guess is you will see the folly of your opinions in a few yrs, not my job to convince you of anything. Sincere GOOD LUCK.

  8371.  @dk-bw4gk  I'm a bit of a petrol head, love my 'old' BMW M3 screaming V8, but I don't pretend it's economical, I can't think of anyone I'd recommend it to and tho I don't currently desire a BEV it's obvious that's where things are going. If you insist on emotions dictating your beliefs despite all the evidence to the contrary....nothing I can do about it, not MY problem. BYE!

  8372.  @dk-bw4gk  Hahaha....more expensive all around, OKAY fine. I'm done with your childish bullshit.
    1
  8373.  @dk-bw4gk  Performance is almost maxed?? It's around 20% efficient for common panels up to some 40% for expensive applications like satellites. Suit yourself but 125MPGe is hard for ICE to compete with, that will be at least 150MPGe for the most economical options in a couple yrs. BEVs are already reaching purchase price parity with ICE in China, soon to go global. Overall operating cost, obviously depending on regional petrol vs electric costs and miles driven--is ballpark of 1/4 for a quality lower cost BEV vs a Camry say. An Uber driver will tell you their car payment is made by fuel savings alone for a Model 3. That's the ultra high use case. For someone only driving a couple thousand miles per yr, that '94 Civic may be best economics for some time to come. (neglecting safety, performance, convenience, BEV owners love never visiting a gas station and only requiring charge stations for long road trips, no oil changes, etc. Plus all the other modern improvements)

  8388.  @anthonyjaccard3694  Don't fear more atmospheric CO2, actual SCIENCE does not support the propaganda hysteria. CO2 is a bit player in climate, not remotely the driver, not at these levels. (not to say it's trivial) Mass plant life extinction, the end of everything that matters, is expected around 150ppm, we've seen as low as 180 in recent glacial maximums, very scary lows. Next glacial max could be coming at anytime, we are "due" for it. But climate models don't work so we don't know. Last 2.5M yrs climate has been horrific with much more time under devastating ice sheets (for much of N. Hemisphere) than these brief interglacial, relatively life friendly periods. More CO2 is probably better than less. I welcome all viable options, and this one is interesting, but 40% efficiency isn't remotely competitive with batts at 90% plus. These carbon 'batts' may well still have their place. Let the market sort it out, every input is accounted for in cost, including energy required to manufacture.

Beautiful young woman, wife of a teacher of mine was in a wheel chair from polio, many were less lucky. Many other examples, vaccines are one of greatest advancement in medicine in a century, cheap and extremely effective. This latest flue just wasn't a BFD and the vaccines questionable. When they start mandating injections my personal mandate of non-compliance kicks in.

As one who often tunes into EV news I was aware of some Euro nations rapidly going electric.
    1
  8402. Robbert van der Eem lol! It might make a difference on where one lives. On the West Coast USA I see Teslas daily, I drove thru Seattle a couple months ago and found myself sandwiched between two Model Xs on the freeway for a few miles. I still love my older BMWs, no plans for an EV unless it's a 1-ton truck chassis but I'm guessing I have purchased my last ICE car.

    1
  8413.  @tomservo5007  Sure. And you should do some actual RESEARCH that you clearly have not done. I may owe Thunderf00t a debt of gratitude, realizing his audience is dominated by penniless pointless children--he probably influenced a few naïve adults with money and involved in markets. The smart short sellers , those betting against Elon, transferred something like $100B to us retail dummies. Greatest short squeeze in history, it was SO predictable and profitable. Hahaha
    1
  8414.  @tomservo5007  Thunderf00t has made a business out of trashing Elon and served you very badly. I've made a modest fortune betting against him and will continue to do so. Today I can semi-retire early, minimal millionaire, and in a few yrs expect to triple my net worth. I stand by everything I've said, do some actual research instead of patronizing convicting but false narratives. Funny how these things take on a life of their own LONG after they are clearly false--my dad was smart but he subscribed to the "Peak Oil" fantasy long after fracking/horizontal drilling technology had 10Xed global oil reserves. I pointed it out to him after USA production had just superseded previous peak in 1973, that was a decade ago, pretty sure he dropped that subscription, lol.

  8415.  @tomservo5007  Reusable is not a new idea, it's just a new thing that NO ONE else has come close to achieving. It's barely possible with chemical rockets in Earth's gravity well. Tune into Tony Seba, not fun to listen to but he's been right for decades and you'll gain by the insights.

  8421. Yes, price effects demand exponentially not linearly. A 10% increase in cost could be a 30% loss of demand. Also noteworthy how little he's changed in general terms--goals, production projections, etc. (yeah even the gross over-optimism on cutting edge tech, lol)

  8432. The competition is coming on strong from all over the globe including GM. Elon has already achieved his primary goal of showing the world that an electric can be a highly desirable car and "'accelerating the transition to E-cars by a decade'". I would LOVE to see Tesla become a viable company and continue it's disruption of the Detroit biz model (not to mention power generation, storage, etc) but that has yet to be proven, so far Tesla is only a boutique car manufacturer that has never met it's ambitious delivery schedules. We'll see about the Model 3. There is a lot of hype around Tesla and cult worshiping that makes me nervous. This latest 'profit' is considered by many to be more "engineered" then significant. As much as I admire Musk (one of my favorite people of all time) and ALL he has achieved I wouldn't touch TSLA stock except as a trade, but I wouldn't bet against him either. The absorption of Solar City looks like a way to save that failing company from insolvency more than anything else. But it sounds like YOU should be purchasing the stock with both hands. ;-)

Advisers trivialized the terrific burden that, say $100k of debt to start adult life with is. Ultimately it was the student's choice that I don't want to pay for, not MY MISTAKE. I'd revamp or eliminate the loan program entirely and do something about the fraud perpetuated at universities and extreme tuition inflation. For decades we as a society have stupidly stigmatized the trades as tho they are somehow less respectable than a desk job. Completely false. However--for those with enough self respect and thoughtfulness to disregard nonsense status, this represents an enormous opportunity. 6 figures are readily available in challenging careers in that space with very little upfront cost, or on the job training to earn while you learn. Many companies will also pay for night classes, etc.

  8561.  @jdearr1  A few fun facts from the IPCC: 1) hurricanes have NOT increased in frequency or intensity in the last century (true for extreme weather in general) 2) Greenland ice sheet has melted at the same rate for the last 80 yrs. 3) human induced climate change will not have significant economic impact globally this century. (actually an opinion, not a fact yet obviously) Extra CO2 simply does make plants grow better and more drought tolerant, simple FACT regardless of it's inconvenience to media indoctrination. Popular media has never understood nor cared to understand science. They are all about gaining your attention, nothing else. Levels have been way LOW in recent millions of yrs which happens to coincide with climate instability and the devastating ice age which we are still in...just happen to be in a glacial minimum currently which don't last as long as the destructive maximums. Dangerously low to the point that during glacial maximums it approaches levels where mass plant extinctions would begin, causing general mass extinction like no one has even contemplated. Balance??? WTF are you talking about? There is no such thing in this context. What makes you think this historically extremely low CO2 level is best for us or life on Earth? CO2 is as essential for plants as water and sunlight. Calling it a pollutant is utterly asinine (not you maybe but governments have) and shows just how out of whack the popular climate religion is. Sure not based on science or reality. Life flourished at 2000ppm, even 10,000. A modern tight home will often have 2000ppm inside. Commercial greenhouses are also typically kept at around 2000, you think they do that for entertainment? Not like this planet was made for us but we are a part of nature as surely as plankton and whales. Be quite astounding if 280ppm, record lows, just happened to be ideal, hmmm?

If when they occupied it was planning on putting a catch tray below to harvest guano. I have a couple ideas on improvements if I get around to it. Mainly to add a sheet metal extra layer as thermal insulation, just an air gap but spaced such that they could nest in it too. That should reduce hot summer day temp fluctuations tho it's mostly in the shade already. Sheet metal would also give extra security against rodent ingress tho only squirrels currently would almost ever be near it and has smooth steel guard around sides and below access bottom that no rodent could climb on.

  8598.  @carlsmith5545  What's your experience with Teslas? You realize that many haven't 'refilled' anywhere but at home for yrs at a time? They can't imagine needing to waste time at a gas station twice a week and spending all that money. True if you are the sort that drives 10hrs nearly nonstop, ICE is a little faster If U road trip a lot without kids or pets (requiring breaks) and money is no object and U don't mind the low performance of ICE? Have fun. I still love my old 3 pedal BMWs but I'll never spend much again on inferior ICE car. Eventually I'll power home and car off my roof.
    1
  8599.  @carlsmith5545  Exactly what features do ICE have? High maintenance, high fuel cost, poor acceleration, no tech to speak of. I used to take half an hr to warm up my 1-ton Chevy service truck on cold mornings enough to thaw it out to drive, that's lost range and time. In a Tesla just set it to heat the cabin for 5/10 minutes in advance from your phone, no need to even go to the car. How about leaving your dog in a parking lot on a 100F summer day? Can't do that very well unless it's a BEV which will control climate at minimal cost and tell concerned passersby the interior temp is good for dog, no need to break in and rescue it. What if U had a long day and just want to get home hrs away but are too sleepy to do it safely? Tesla will do the driving, nothing else will.

  8600.  @cbmech2563  Yeah claims. I believe them but decide for yourself. If you think you know better than the customers of such trucks, good luck with that arrogance. When petrol cars were new one had to go to a hardware store to get cans of gasoline. Imagine how impossible it was in a mere 10 yrs to produce not only gas stations but refineries and the rest. Yet they were compelling enough vs horse power that the market took care of it.. It happened. Likewise for charging infrastructure except that's going to be faster, easier and cheaper than liquid fuel production and distribution was in 1910.

  8601.  @ljprep6250  Wide range but diesel semis are in the ballpark of $200k new, not clear what Tesla will initially price theirs at but it seems they could be worth double or more to operators, subsidies aside. (thinking mainly of 500 mile rated Teslas that can do some 560, also cheaper 300 range available) Bottle neck looks to be the high powered chargers most customers will need, permitting and power supply could take 3 yrs. Should be that trucks parked overnight will do fine w common car chargers, 250 or 350kw, easier quicker to install, instead of 1000 for fast charging that Pepsi needs running them multi shifts, they need to recharge while loading/unloading. Naturally the ROI will be longer for those not running the, say 150k miles per yr, that the likes of Pepsi does.

No compromises all benefit. Run hard (say 150k miles/yr), Pepsi claims they save $200k over 3 yrs running Teslas. But don't let reality intrude on your emotional needs, reacting to life with unchecked emotions is the path to success. Ask any incel, lol.

  8617.  @MattG-n2z  One reason Pepsi is only using them out of 3 depots is due to permitting time and cost of charging required for their rapid turn around times, running them around 1000 miles per day. For outfits where trucks are parked at night, cheaper easier to permit/install charging should suffice but the ROI will take twice as long.

  8640.  @richtes  Having followed it since day one I'm already highly confident, but yes the proof is in the market place. I thought it was a stretch when Elon said they might get down to 1.7 kwh/mile, a yr or so ago. (others like Mercedes said 2 kwh/mile was impossible, original Tesla target) Pepsi averaged 1.6 khw for max heavy and 1.3 for medium wt. hauls. Now Elon says they are shooting for 1.5 heavy over next couple yrs of improvements. Obviously there's more to it than efficiency but no one else is close to those numbers which is typical of Tesla. New version Model 3 has stunned rigorous experienced 3rd party testers how efficient it is, way better than EPA estimates. The base line should of course also be 1M miles with no major problems, something diesels have been approaching, or attempting for decades.

Highly discourage such vehicles (road machines or concentrated investments) except for a tiny minority who are up to it.

Many other highly successful celebrated investors DO NOT subscribe to diversification and all the wealthiest folks did it thru extreme concentration--Bezos, Musk, Jobs, Gates...... I've VASTLY outperformed the market since I went thru the painful process of dumping my diversification dogma. I'm now financially independent and could retire today if I wanted.

  8660.  @Trigathus  My dad actually uttered the iconic: "I don't know where we went wrong with you boys." At a moment when all 3 of us had dropped out and chased adventure and high wages in heavy industry. (all of later finished, 2 of my siblings are professors and 2 of us engineering degreed) At SOME point I dad must have realized a conflict of his own lifelong advocacy of: on one hand--'you are nothing but a ditch digger until you complete a 4 yr degree', on the other hand he always insisted we think for ourselves. Dogma vs thoughtfulness frankly. In the end he got it both ways and was very proud of us.
    1
  8661.  @Trigathus  I get that, I was raised the same way and punished for dropping out. (to return later and finish my engineering degree) At the time it was most crucial for me to launch my own business and I did at 20/21 yrs old. If you are old enough to go to college you are of age to make your own path, your parents will come around eventually.

"FAST" money focus on weeks to months most of the time and like long range weather forecasting they get it wrong almost as much as not, only a foolish child thinks they can pull the trigger based on a well articulated opinion. Betting against Tim doesn't make him my enemy I just disagree, shorts have given me fat gains anyway. 22% short interest is music to my ear.

  8714.  @jonjo2598  Industry ave. is a joke you don't need to participate in. And that "average" is apparently about model types NOT how many of a certain make/model are on the road. Teslas are becoming 300 miles in 15 or 20 minutes with up to around 400 mile range and climbing. Most T. "competitors" are hypothetical, they haven't sold enough to matter.

  8717.  @jonjo2598  Ubiquitous because it's cheap when externalities are not included and they haven't been. There is no diff between two polymer molecules of identical structure regardless of the feed stock.

  8718.  @jonjo2598  It's the most easy to replace group of commodities in history at this point. Rubber, chems, plastics all take small quantities and can be replaced with competitively produced renewables such as celulostic derived. The vast majority is simply burned and we now have competitive replacements for energy, it won't end over night but even Saudis expect petrol to have zero marginal value in 25 yr.s.

  8719.  @TInyK12  If it was worth 200 to $300 5 yr.s ago it's probably worth $2k today, massive advancements have happened with T. in that time frame, it created a half decade long sideways base, a very tightly loaded spring set for this breakout.
    1
  8720. I should have said--same as when it was at $450 last December, that was an all time high. That's the problem with lazy rules and "technical trading". Take the extensive time to understand the underlying situation and you might do much better then the simplistic generic approach. I'm up some 4X in a yr. (my entire portfolio) how about you? Conviction in the long term story allows one to ignore daily/monthly fluctuations. I didn't get depressed when I had strings of days 'losing' (not real losses or profits until you take them) 10 to $20k per day this Spring nor do I get euphoric when I see 20 to $60k daily gains in recent weeks. I'm looking down the road a few yr.s to a decade instead.
    1
  8721. @Tom R It was made and yeah it seemed the same back then. Certainly that case holds for anytime since $1000, so if that's your method it's a failure. I don't play such games, I followed the situation closely for many yr.s before acquiring the confidence to go "all in" starting @ $190 last yr., it's not based on charts but instead conviction in the massive disruption that Tesla represents. Those trying to trade it will mostly vastly under perform those of us who accumulate for the long run.

I don't care if he spends $10B/yr on BO he's already lost, not a chance he'll catch SpaceX this decade or likely ever. Money only goes so far and to be flush with capital is to be sloppy and wasteful. Elon's companies are lean, forged on a shoestring with a culture you can't buy. Its too bad, be nice to have two SpaceX like capabilities but it's not about to happen and now SpaceX has captured 90% of the global LEO launch market.

Tell me about their software , electronic, electrical prowess and advanced tech in general. How about batt pack cost, production and so on. Making advanced ICE will not help them. What are their expectations for 2030, a couple M units?...good luck with that plan bc new ICE will be nearly extinct by then. Their lackadaisical attitude will become VW like panic but even later in the game. TM also has serious debt, not as bad as GM and F but potentially devastating in hard times.

Not in only in 20-30 yrs but in 3 yrs too. With H you will miss the good old days of cheap gasoline, with batts you'll be relieved to have super cheap driving for the 1st time in your life along with a far superior vehicle. And most folks will only go to a station when road tripping, daily you simply plug it in at home a couple X per week or routinely. Folks who own EVs love that gas stations are off their list.

So YEAH, I was doing the work of several of those types. I didn't snivel about it, I bust my ass, did back to back double shifts for weeks on end and made a better place for myself. Learned from and enjoyed the entire process. Plenty of room for more small businesses and MASSIVE demand for skilled workers, 6 figures is readily available in many trades. Quit feeling sorry for yourself, that's for losers, get after it.

Motivated in large part by the fact I was caring several worthless union "workers" on my shoulders even as a greenhorn.

  8840.  @Vkob  Overnight??? In what universe did that ever happen? I'm already prosperous, you might say wealthy, and it sure as HELL didn't happen overnight nor even in a couple decades. Forget about 'get rich quick' it's always been fools attempt and it's never been easy in markets, always plenty of reasons to sit it out and wait for the next crash but those who do well don't much try to time it. It's about time IN markets along with due diligence and some key disciplines to counter the emotional reactions to money we ALL share. Emotions lead to bad choices like buying from FOMO/momentum alone or selling at a bottom bc you can't take the pain. Know what you own and why, invest which means 5 or 10 plus yrs forward. Sounds like wealth is not YOUR thing, that's OK, plenty of ppl live rich lives without being millionaires.
    1
  8841.  @Vkob  I've heard the same excuses for failure for half a century, some things never change like externalizing personal failure to advance one's own life yet the entire time SOME manage to flourish while others always flounder. There was NEVER any guarantees, are you kidding me?! But those who struggle with intensive productive pursuits, live WELL below their means and invest diligently (speculation is lazy) typically wind up prosperous. It's never been easy but it's never been easier than today. "The 95% work for the 5% who didn't give up." Maybe prosperity isn't your thing, just TOO difficult.
    1
  8842.  @Vkob  I went from around $150k in my portfolio to $1.4M in 20 months, sort of the Buffet way--I studied the hell out of the companies in question, gained confidence that it was grossly undervalued and over shorted and bet big. I rode it up and down without euphoria nor fear (it went down 60% early last yr, recovered then dropped another 30% later but ended up some 800% for 2020 alone, never considered selling only added a little) as I gained conviction in the long term story , that's 5 yrs to decades not months. I spent a decade delving into my biggest bet before investing so it's not fast easy money. Could it crash again?...of course and I will ride it out AGAIN. As far as the S&P goes I expect it to perform badly this decade but mainly due to disruptive industries undermining banks, fossil fuels, automotive everything including insurance, utilities, on and on...about half the index is in peril IMO.

If we triple our population at same total consumption we'd look more like Europe and nothing would change except for 3X better per capita consumption and 3X the population. Sound good?

  8895.  @peterklausner9727  No question there is room and will be many players, even Ford has done well with the new "Mustang" EV...if they can make them at scale before it's too late....50k units per yr isn't going far. Tesla produces more premium cars than Nio. S and X are definitely premium, in fact most would even say 3 and Y are also, certainly based on price range they are, although cheaper to own and operate than a Camry over 5 yrs. The coming T-econobox will effectively be a new category for the industry, a quality desirable car for much less than average new American car. The only EV econoboxs now are crappy.
    1
  8896.  @peterklausner9727  Nor will Tesla owners need to worry about their batts, not even modules. Today's T batt packs are vastly superior to the old obsolete one's you are referencing and the batt packs in the pipeline for next yr are yet another major improvement in almost every metric. The batts will outlast the cars by a wide margin. Far better no never need to replace anything than be able to do it easier. The vast majority of startups WILL fail, it's the way these things always go. Nio has a better chance than most it would appear, especially if they continue to receive preferential treatment from the evil CCP. I do expect the China brands to make serious inroads into American markets beginning with the very good Polestar....unless trade wars prevent it.

  8909.  @starshipcaptain4753  You STILL just DON'T get it. GOOD GRIEF. Do you not realize that government programs are extremely wasteful by nature? That the USA has such a massive debt that it threatens the nation to the core?? Elon wasn't fighting against anything, he was advocating NO MORE INSANE DEBT! WE cannot continue to add to it! How is this so hard for you to grasp? The poverty you are begging for will leave us with NO OPTIONS to advance away from fossils or anything else. GET IT? NO company including Tesla can keep up with natural demand. Understand? It's the market demand and no amount of chargers will make it so Ford, GM, VW or anyone else can make enough batteries to sate demand due to ECONOMICS NOT GOVERNMENT MANDATES and PORK. This mentality that everything must be forced on people unfortunately drives vitriol at Tesla, it's not Tesla's fault it's YOURS. But a lot of folks understandably assume Tesla and Elon are promoting government programs that We the People pay for to ram EVs down their throats. This is NOT helpful to your cause.
    1
  8910.  @starshipcaptain4753  Agree about renewables but they've reached escape velocity already! For many yrs when they were not economic, government DID help get the ball rolling. (arguably wastefully TOO soon, but just the same) Not needed anymore, solar wind and batt storage are NOW cost effective in a competitive market place. Flat wrong about Elon and competition, had to read that 4X to believe you said that. They've held surprisingly tight to their mission statement of prompting the entire global industry to emulate Tesla. And you contradicted yourself saying the obvious--"they can't do it all themselves" they said it repeatedly over a decade now, acted accordingly with open patents (not everything naturally, some secrets not that that can last long) no "walled gardens" like Apple. Anyway I think you know better. We all should RELAX the future is getting dramatically better if we allow the likes of Elon to thrive. Let's enjoy the ride! :D
    1
  8911.  @starshipcaptain4753  Have you noticed Elon begging for more oil and gas production repeatedly recently. WHY? How about the fact that the USA is the ONLY nation on Earth that's actually (ironically) met CO2 reduction targets? Yeah due to cheap NatGas until the asinine shutdowns. NG made coal obsolete in America and coal is more than twice as dirty. Germany on the other hand has been accelerating not only coal but the worst kind of coal--lignite. They have totally F**ked up on energy policy and have few options left. Should we copy them? Only thing worse is to start destroying forests for fuel like we used to. I hope it doesn't come to that but with policies driven by ignorance, unscientific climate hysteria and emotions...anything is possible.
    1
  8912.  @starshipcaptain4753  Are you willing to see 50% inflation and the destruction of America? We can't keep doing what we've been doing or we will be so preoccupied with subsistence to even notice what's happening to the environment. We desperately need LESS government, it's inherently wasteful. An economy is not optional. You won't give a damn about EV vs wood fired steam engine when you haven't eaten in two weeks. I look forward to food insecurity to give 'the other half' a reality check, they've been begging for it since the reckless pointless shutdowns. I grow my own. If that sounds extreme then we have it coming, very fragile supply chains, won't take much more extreme stupid government policies to upend the apple cart, literally. "Hard times make strong men. Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men. Weak men make hard times." We've had it way good for a long time and taken it for granted, guess we need periodic smack down. Our easy lifestyle has left us dangerously complacent. Our grandchildren will still be paying for it
    1
  8913.  @starshipcaptain4753  Yes. And he's also stated that governments can't help except get the hell out of the way and the things I advocated above. ALLOW advancement, it takes Canada 2.5 yrs to start a new mine operation and the USA 10 yrs for permitting, THAT'S a problem. Li is everywhere but pointless bureaucracy will prevent US self sufficiency. Limiting factors are qualified humans and crucial metals, you could subsidize Tesla cars to free and they still couldn't produce them faster than they are and will.

  8914.  @starshipcaptain4753  Biden is SO stupid he thinks doubling corn ethanol reduces demand for oil when it consumes as much oil to make the corn alcohol as the ethanol replaces while raping the soil and causing higher food prices. OR just maybe he's purchasing votes in the grain belt, hmmm? It's blatant he doesn't give a damn about CO2 or reality in general. (see him and Mary Barra)

  8915.  @starshipcaptain4753  Too late for what? Elon is also NOT a climate alarmist, he's too well versed for that racket, no doubt he's studied the actual data. YES governments should STOP subsidizing fossil fuels! Beyond that a carbon tax should be top of list because it's generalized, it doesn't leave it to some idiot bureaucrat or corrupt clueless politician to pick specific winners and losers. Estimate the average cost for consumption of X fossils and include it at the pump and meter. Governments normally pick losers, the market place is vastly better, ultimately the ONLY way the best option wins Notice that Elon turned down the EU's $1.5B handout and advocated "deleting" subsidies for Tesla part of the Build Back Broke bill? Why? And it was Government Motors that lobbied for the original EV subsidies, not Tesla. If you believe in Elon than you should think about these things a little deeper.

  8916.  @starshipcaptain4753  The best thing government could do is QUIT SUBSIDIZING fossils...ahhh...but that's too hard and they don't give a damn about doing the right thing for the environment or the nation, just catering to the loudest dumbest end of their constituencies.
    1
  8917.  @starshipcaptain4753  Never been a Republican but I too prefer less government interference, let the market sort it out. Government involvement always leads to massive waste and corruption--corn ethanol fiasco, California's H2 fuel joke, Biden's UAW/GM payback scandal, on and ON. Especially now when the EV revolution is a given, it's laughable to have these 2030 or '35 mandates for EVs since the market will lead that target anyway but the conmen we elect will take credit for something they more interfered with than helped.

He cares about a sustainable habitable planet which the extreme Leftists bigots, aka., Woke have been promoting via covering up, canceling and demoting anything that slightly counters the insane narrative flavor of the day. You have a problem with maximum inclusivity ??? That's very telling.

  8923. That wasn't even roughly comparable, the DotBomb was pure speculation based on clicks, eyeballs and such nonsense, coming undone. It maybe true for most of the other EV stocks but Tesla has executed spectacularly and few to this day grasp the implications even before yesterday's announcements which, if successfully carried out as looks most likely with their pilot plant already pumping out the new cells, means no other company on the planet will be able to catch up without a massive breakthrough such as solid state batts mass produced cheap. Most other car companies are now doomed unless they are able to purchase Tesla batts. which is likely some yr.s down the road.

  8926. Cramer is typically tuned in exceptionally well to certain key areas including this one, HOWEVER he leans toward optimism sometimes. (big exception for his loud warning of the last crisis in 2007 & 8 when he told us to sell everything, street cred for that)
    1
  8927.  @SomeTechGuy666  Only bad news--Semi and CT pushed back slightly and 4680 development the likely reason tho they seem to be roughly on track there otherwise, that remains my biggest concern in terms of execution risk. They've gotta get new batt production down ASAP.

  8943.  @fragmentsofthemind  WTF are you talking about? Why would my loved ones be "dropping"? The laziness I'm talking about is the many who refuse to take responsibility for their own existence. Currency has nothing to do with that, it's simply there to dramatically reduce friction in transactions. If one develops their own productive potential they will be able to get buy with or without money short of our species extinction.
    1
  8944.  @fragmentsofthemind  Sure. I tend to look at it in the reverse tho--success of one is success for all. In either case it's the primary responsibility for each of us to see our own financial security and well being. No one and nothing can save an individual from poor choices or laziness.

  8984. @Ace Nothing So yeah--Cramer has been absolutely MONEY, irreplaceable not only getting folks out before the worst crash in half a century but also THIS time warning since January that this virus situation was not factored in to stocks and it was time to lighten up, select 'stay at home stocks' like ZM at the very least. I sold everything I wanted to months ago and looking to buy back a lot lower now or in the coming weeks/months. I'm far ahead of where I was just last summer, how about YOU?
    1
  8985. @Ace Nothing I listened to Cramer a well over a yr. before as he very loudly predicted the crash that was to come, that the entire financial sector was doomed and would take the market/nation down with it. Remember THAT? He took a lot of heat for it from The Street to the Fed. And then reiterated it on TV a couple more times finally telling everyone to take 'any money out that they may need for the next 5 yr.s'. Remember??? So yeah that last minute attempt to not contribute to the Bear bust was not good but was entirely trivial in the scheme of things as anyone listening to him was warned of far more and worse than that some 18 months prior. I wasn't anywhere near the entire financial sector in part due to Cramer LONG before. Want me to furnish the videos for you?
    1
  8986. And you are here because....?

  8987. He started warning about the market not taking this virus seriously back in January contributing to my selling well before the crash. Why you are here escapes me, don't you have anything better to do?

  8992.  @michae1601  Apparently Ys and 3s have gone softer more recently, I take it your is older. I understand the desire but also the price of softer suspension--handling. Good case for more range. Have beloved 'old' (2011) BMW sports car with only some 300 mile range and sometimes get range anxiety in remote or mountainous areas. Otherwise stopping every 250 miles plus is good opportunity to stretch and reset. Future BEVs will charge much faster and more range will be available. Many have been hoping for air suspension for 3 and Y like S and X have always had I believe. One thing not foreseeable is better value than a Tesla, possible exceptions for cheaper Chinese 'coming wave'. But they won't be near as safe or capable, inferior software, etc. But we need econoboxes in the mix. I drove Ford Pinto for many yrs and was happy to have it, lol. (then mini pickups....)

  8993.  @michae1601  Merc "certified level 3" is still laughable crap. Who does the certification and where is the money coming from? All the others are entirely different and limited, Waymo with ridiculous $100k of spinning hardware jutting out allover get's frozen with the slightest deviation from mapped data, like construction zone. Granted FSD also gets flummoxed, but only it has a viable path to a general solution. IDK when but probably 2 or 3 yrs it will seem to "suddenly" (as seen by the general public) become viable. If you use it daily presumably you find it worthwhile even in it's beta state.
    1
  8994.  @michae1601  NO OFFENSE intended, not that you seem fragile like that. BUT--surprised you think "others are working on it" in any competitive way foreseeably. Mobileye maybe? I mean.... "as a beta tester" (tell me that's not fabricated, you seem honest).

  8995.  @michae1601  Mister Softy vs Apple ain't apt compare. Overused as it is, it's much more Apple vs Blackberry and the rest, or Sears vs Amazon if thinking of legacy auto mfgs.

  8996.  @michae1601  Merc driver assistance is hilarious! Are you serious? You are aware of the Establishment Media Mafia protection racket, right? Tesla is the only one not paying for adverts, suppose that doesn't drive their opinions?? Yeah they pretend it's news and Hunter's laptop was a Russian plant, vaccines prevent covid, lockdowns save lives......Vietnam War was justified....F__K Me. Propaganda is rampant, always was. Level 3 Merc, hahaha. Have you seen it demonstrated by Merc rep? It barely does anything and only below 35 mph on straight road, truly funny. (edit--actually cringy, hard to watch)

  8997.  @michae1601  Good on you for being beta tester, I realize it's a mixed bag but expect it to, as Elon mentioned, to seem to suddenly be awesome like ChatGPT, IDK when but surely if you've seen massive improvements over 2 yrs. And who is remotely a contender for that?
    1
  8998.  @michae1601  IF IF and eventually, IF the others survive that long. Toyota is TOAST, they don't have a batt at all and their rubbish 1st attempt was made by Chinese Co. Their solid state batt to be commercialize yrs ago won't happen this decade in any meaningful way. The only foreseeable competition for Tesla are Chinese brands, they should be force to be reckoned with but they'll have problems with trade and they are not up to Tesla standards, they may get there and they may build factories in Euro and N. America but Tesla still dominates them even in China. Tesla has been doing OTA (over the air updates) for a decade and the rest still struggle with even that, everyone else has significantly inferior software even before considering driver assistance (all others are crap) let alone autonomous.
    1
  8999.  @michae1601  The original Tesla roadster had a little over 200 m range, batt cost of some $150k in todays dollars, now a much better batt is around $15k or $20k, this trend is far from expiration, it will tail off eventually but not anytime soon. And that's not even the half of it for Tesla "Model 2".

  9002.  @kjrom  Really? And that's why the Model Y continues to be the best selling car of any drivetrain type for yrs running? New version Model 3 rated the best car available by just about everyone and NEW Y will surpass that. BYD is very good for the price, including CCP subsidies and losing money on their BEVs. But it's not Tesla quality.
    1
  9003. @ Who can't? Tesla is competing very well IN China despite the massive CCP assistance for Chinese brands. Holding it's market share, still the 'gold standard' and a best seller despite some of the competition selling tiny deathtraps for peanuts. And it's the only one making real money on BEVs.

It's OK Elon will own it and make it great for the 1st time.

    1
  9044.  @garymcmillan6943  Your shallow understanding is why you missed out on the greatest opportunity in markets this century and will continue to. (hint--TSLA is just getting started) 100 PE is common for this growth rate but there are many other considerations. Plenty of opportunities exist with zero profits, PE infinity. (inc. TSLA only several yrs ago) Could have had AMZN for $50/share 15 yrs ago when it was PE infinity, about 60X return to today.
    1
  9045.  @garymcmillan6943  Forward PE of 100 is reasonable for the grow rate. Never any guarantees but I expect it to have minimum of 15T market cap by decade end, could easily be double that as outrageous as it sounds....everything about the company is phenomenal, never been anything like it.
    1
  9046.  @garymcmillan6943  It has PE of some 160ish, they haven't updated for Q1, forward PE is likely 65ish which is way low for the growth rate. NO OFFENSE but you are a newbe (with respect to TSLA at least) with no idea what your talking about, but it's OK, took me most of a decade to get my head around Tesla. TSLA is dirt cheap today, sure it could get cheaper before it doubles and triples again but I wouldn't bet on it.

  9053.  @randyjordan5521  Same sources that prevented you from seeing Biden's blatant cognitive decline from at least 3 yrs ago, right? Exploded telepromter would be obvious but U didn't see any evidence for it.
    1
  9054.  @randyjordan5521  LOL. Did you see any exploded telepromters? Should be obvious. Better toss out all your sources that have deeply deceived you for so long. Same one's who probably prevented U from noticing JB's blatant cognitive decline at least 3 yrs ago. Right?

  9056.  @Blasco_Snap  Nothing new but i STILL can't see how most legacies survive, GM & F massive debt already plus more to transition, lax union culture, old obligations and inefficiencies, half the pay per employee as Tesla, lol (before stock options I believe) We need a lot of EV co.s,, dozen or two minimum globally. (currently 1000 auto mfgs just in China, most should wash out, once had 65 motorcycle co.s in US, dad's era there were dozen American brand auto mfgs) I come from childhood to mid age on GM products, plus Toyotas and Hondas later naturally HA! Today love me old'e BMWs and still drive Chevy 1-ton for work. Not thrilled to see them all fail, merging and going thru bankruptcy reformations I expect, dramatically downsized or dead. We relied on Sears in rural America in my youth, now we don't miss them at all, forgotten. Creative destruction not just healthy but necessary.
    1
  9057. IF it has a future at all which is unlikely beyond this decade, just listen to Farley about the challenges to attempt to make EVs at all.
    1
  9058. Definitely Tesla now and later. It's doubtful F can make money on EVs competing with T and Chinese brands.
    1
  9059.  @punesauce  That's last yrs news and no longer true. It is true that Tesla isn't considered "premium" in Euro however, not for the 3 and Y at least.
    1
  9060. Ford is F'ed, but Farley admitting as much and attempting to put a tourniquet on the gushing wound means they will probably go bankrupt after GM
    1
  9061. NOPE--it's highly questionable that F can make money on any competitive EV and yet the must make them.
    1
  9062.  @TheBooban  Whatever works. Hate to say that about Boeing but it is what it is. Once a great American brand destroyed by a couple crap CEO's best I can tell, maybe it will become great again but I ain't waiting for it. Tesla and others I believe in and don't need to worry much about.

  9064.  @TheBooban  Follow the company not the stock, price follows fundies. I lost confidence in the Co., can't own, simple as that never looked back. You bought my shares, should have bought TSLA or NVDA or..... ;-)
    1
  9065.  @101ado  Government Motors lobbied for the prior subsidies, NOT Tesla, yes T gained as well but you are disconnected to think anyone in DC gives a crap about anyone but the Union Mafias and Establishment Corps who bribe them....that doesn't include Tesla. Unfortunately our corrupt system will probably bail out GM again and F if needed, however those come with strings attached further sealing their fate over time. Later this decade with their dwindling market share and limited significance we'll let them die, no more missed than Sears--once a near necessity for rural America. Primary competition for T are still ICE globally, in China there are 100 BEV Co.s, some very competitive yet still T has 10% of that market and ALL the profits other than tiny % from BYD. In Europe T dominates almost everywhere inc. Germany, only Asian brands look poised to compete there and globally.
    1
  9066.  @101ado  ALL the legacies are dying, they are overvalued. Tesla takes 99% of total BEV profits globally with unheard of margins and growth rate while legacies lose money on every BEV sale, one of the reasons they can't mass produce them but not the only reason. If things get tough in a recession over next, say 18 months, ONLY Tesla will not struggle, margins might reduce some but only they can afford that, they will continue to gain overall market share while others may not survive their insane debt loads and inability to make the transition. Meanwhile there is effectively unlimited demand for Megapacks, also with very high margins, rapidly ramping production and nearly recession proof market to replace 'peaker' NatGas plants. I could carry on but leave it at that.

  9067. I wouldn't mess with anything to do with H, you can trade anything but hydrogen/FCs have been around a long time with little advancement and not much room for it. IF high density LOW pressure inexpensive storage becomes viable then I'll reconsider, short of that it's DOA.

  9073.  @jaykiller4510  Yup. IDK he's being paid, doubt it, just willful ignorance due to emotional predisposition most likely. It's one of the reasons I don't like subsidies even tho for BEVs they are wildly dwarfed by fossil subsidies, most don't feel it but they feel "forced" to go electric.

  9096.  @Andy-ir1sj  It's hard to say but Elon is not concerned about best price, he has always cared about us long term investors and gave everyone that 1st Monday to trim if we wanted to in front of him, very magnanimous. Looks like he has a couple more weeks of selling ahead. None of this matters 6 months from now and whatever appreciation does not happen this yr will add more gains for the future.

    1
  9108.  @jackohere1878  It doesn't matter Saut already proved you don't have anything worth paying attention to, he was right new highs are already in. New lows? Possible but not likely now for this yr. He's been amazingly accurate during the worst times for well over a decade at least, making hard to believe at the time predictions on target every time I can remember. You should learn from him instead of pretending you know better when you obviously do NOT. I'm up 5X in last 12 months, phenomenal yr.
    1
  9109. It will take some of his 'bandwidth' but how many times have we heard the same concerns for other "distractions" over the yrs, he can delegate most of it and maybe some distraction is good for his mind given he's investing 80 plus hrs/wk into SpaceX and Tesla.

  9116.  @comfortlee1418  I'm NOT taking profits. I've rode it down 60% from prior highs then again 30% just last yr ....yet was up overall some 7X by yr end! It's too damn hard to exit right then get back in WHEN?? You never know. I have high conviction in what I own and that it will be up 2X or so in 2yrs, or 4X in 5 yrs...probably a lot more. Plus I can live my life run my biz and ignore the market if I like bc I'm not going to react to it anyway. You used to hear all the time about the hit so many took in 08/09, the ONLY reason they lost was letting emotions rule them, they couldn't take the pain, sold after massive decline then couldn't summon the courage to get back in. Had they simply rode the entire thing they'd be easily up 5X by NOW.

  9119. You are hallucinating--never seen him so calm and humorous in times like these. No doubt in PART because Cramer warned us of this MONTHS ago when 'everyone else' was complacent...with a few exceptions.

  9120. 2 million jobs and 1/4 of GDP growth. "Why should anyone care about the economy?"
    1
  9121. Obviously Boeing can't be left to die even if they didn't make any airliners. How about letting the common go to zero and reorganizing (I know that's called bankruptcy normally) with Tim Cook or BRK or Google or Jeff Bezos or some combination purchasing and running it right? Effectively streamlining the bankruptcy process and making sure all suppliers are taken care of and biz can resume as 'new normal'. Let Apple have it for say $25B with only the shareholders getting wiped out. If they are asking for bailouts they have NO say in the matter beyond an advisory roll.

  9131. Yeah it could be taken either way but I thought like you.
    1
  9132. Depends on preference but Polestar2, MachE....are cross-shopped with Teslas, some ppl prefer the softer ride or less tech, or whatever. There are many cheaper Chinese brand/models I know little about but probably have a significant market in the USA if not heavily punished with tariffs, desirable $20k plus cars. What does a cost constrained person do? Buy a traditional petrol econobox or a better, even cheaper to own, decent EV? It was weird for him to imply Elon might be exiting TSLA, NOT about to happen . 1:40
    1
  9133. Minor dispute--Elon is typically humble at least in manner if not in expectations for the future.

  9134. Those OEMs have very shallow pockets with holes developing allowing coins to fall through as they lose money on every EV they sell. At this trajectory they are all doomed.

  9140.  @Bonanzaking  The numbers say otherwise. I can't tell you how many times I adjusted/replaced points, monkeyed with carburetor and plugs on my old Chevy truck. And of course I had to rebuild the engine completely at 75k miles, that was normal in the day.

  9142.  @harsharip  Candidly I rarely patronize Cramer anymore except for macro like this as I'm already invested LT. His track record, while checkered, CAN be useful at face value. His off the cuff opinions often wrong while his well considered and endlessly repeated opinions are typically on target. AAPL, AMD, CRM, NVDA...many others he added a lot of value on at least prior to a few yrs ago, not up on him since. He was one of the few who warned in early 2020 that The St. wasn't taking Covid seriously enough. Also massively beneficial in 2007 warning of the banking collapse when no one else on TV was. I knew a guy with his entire liquid fortune riding on WAMU, had he taken Cramer seriously in '07 he'd not have lost every penny of it. (but Cramer too much the clown for my conservative friend) Cramer specifically targeted WAMU in his famous rant and it was the 1st to go under!

  9148.  @robertanderson5303  I'm not sure if you are just promoting a product but trading is gambling and requires much more time than proper investing.

  9157. Except he has NO IDEA what he's talking about in this instance. All he had to do is follow Elon on Twitter to realize the Hate Stream Establishment Media is STILL creating fiction. "Journalists" were suspended for doxxing not arbitrary or random but rightly disallowed.

  9158. Colin Rusch is smart and successful and he's flat wrong about the opening narrative which is base on Establishment Media LIES. "Journalists" were suspended for doxxing you damn fools! Not random but rightly disallowed.

  9159. Elon and JB Straubel created Tesla from scratch, that other worse than useless dude who spends his life attempting to convince the World otherwise was shown the door early. Elon's mistake attempting to partner with him, he had nothing but a notion of an EV, no biz plan nor prototype, not even the name Tesla! Can't believe everything on Wikipedia. Removing him as CEO will obliterate the stock, many institutional investors will flee (not to mention retailers), they aren't as naïve as you are.

  9165.  @goon5544  To each his own. Should realize Tesla is redefining that industry similar to the way Apple did with the Iphone. (analogies always flawed but unavoidable, just as comparing GM, VW, Toy, etc., to Tesla is highly flawed) In round numbers Apple has 20% market share and 60% of the entire market profits, Tesla has 20% market share with near 100% of profits, the 100% will eventually come down as Asian brands and others become profitable at some point. But that's for a rapidly growing overall pie. (BEVs only not auto's in general) That TSLA has lower forward PE than Chipotle, similar to Walmart and other common slow growers, just one metric, but ludicrously undervalued by that comparison.

    1
  9174. @Acme Inc. I started my own business at 20 in large part due to the fact I was caring several worthless union "workers" on my shoulders. I guess I could thank them for that. I figured: "If free markets work like I think they should I'd be earning 3X more on my own." Sure enough 'soon' I was, never looked back never worked for anyone again, no bosses or BS you mention again. Wasn't easy but nothing good ever is. I also earned my loathing for union culture, both management and rank and file are normally severely corroded by it. Sounds like you are in knots, I sure ain't, financially independent with modest wealth I can retire anytime I like but instead I've just slowed it down for now. :D Today I earn around $100/hr after expenses just by myself, no longer deal with stresses of employing others tho I could make a lot more that way it's also much riskier.

If you are this emotionally invested you probably shouldn't invest in individual stocks at all, emotions are enemy #1 of stockholding. NO ONE knows if they can execute production, or how their software works or much of anything else crucial. You need to acknowledge risk factors to yourself if you have money there. Anyway--good luck with it, I hope they surprise me but very few EV Co.s will achieve escape velocity.

  9193.  @clu4u  Good to hear you are happy with your S still. How many miles on it? Any significant issues? It's far to big and heavy for my use but Tesla must cover all major segments eventually. S is a luxury car, well out of reach of most folks, it better be more comfortable as well as doing very well at everything else. Are you comparing your S to similar priced BMWs and Mercs?
    1
  9194.  @clu4u  Yes but the 3 and Y do not compare well to VWs in similar price range, Mach-E, or Polstar2, on those metrics. (not everyone prioritizes comfort but many do) S is much more exclusive.

  9206.  @Cxs1a3  BTW--Biden isn't "taking half", even if he get's his way which is far from certain, he's 'only' taking another--say 10%. If it were up to me I'd overhaul some of the spending practices of Big Government and nock the crap out of excess onerous regulatory burdens instead. But that's hard and politicians don't like difficult. Military to medical spending is insane in part due to misaligned incentives. Never been a perfect era yet some always manage to thrive anyway, work with what ya got and just keep on trucking and enjoying prosperity.
    1
  9207.  @Cxs1a3  Only idiots play the lottery and they are often so stupid to think a pile of easy money will solve all their problems--that's the origin of the "Lottery Curse". It takes a REAL man to handle wealth just as it does (in most cases) to create that wealth in the 1st place. Those who can make it can usually handle it, most who inherit or get it too easy CANNOT deal with it productively and instead self destruct on it.
    1
  9208.  @Cxs1a3  We'll see how that goes but it's a hell of a lot better to pay a pile of taxes on a pile of gains than to have nothing and pay nothing.

  9209.  @incawarrior5470  Yes it's common for some of them to get way ahead of themselves, it's never easy, you need to do a lot of work on it. Would I wait 10 yrs to 100X my money in, say TSLA? Absolutely. Most of the EV space appears to be there now. That lost decade for AMZN would best be avoided, at least in hindsight. When you see a long base like that forming, going no where for many yrs....while major advancements have taken place in the underlying company--that's a potential opportunity; AMZN in 2010 or TSLA in 2019.

  9210.  @Cxs1a3  I haven't only thought about it but made a fortune off it.
    1
  9211.  @incawarrior5470  I think it was more like 80%. Innovative are always volatile, still if you rode out AMZN you'd be wealthy by now with modest investment back then. TSLA "crashed" 60% from highs with Covid collapse and then again 30%, then again this yr but still made us fortunes. If you don't have long term view and solid foundation of conviction it's not for you.

  9214. Say Tesla market share declines from 63% today to 40% by 2025, but the EV market size increases from 3% today to 20% in '25--that's a total growth of USA sales of 4X...not to suggest those numbers are likely to be accurate, but just to point out the obvious, market share and total sales are two very different things.
    1
  9215. Just the 'tragedy' of Sears that we used to rely on in rural America for a century. Once were in the ballpark of 100 US car mfgs, GM had 50% of US market share in 1970's. Progress means the sluggish and complacent lose, nothing tragic about that overall.

  9221.  @R4dr1ar  Not an argument just facts. They created the entire market just like Apple did the smart phone and while Apple has some 20% of the market they capture 60% of the profits. Likely a similar situation for Tesla in the future tho currently they get 100% of the profits and 70% of the US market and dominating everywhere else. Chinese market will be the only foreseeable exception but it's not yet. Legacy mfgs don't even have a path to breaking even on BEVs, they rely on dying ICE biz. And the upstarts like Rivian and Lucid are struggling, the latter will fail IMO.

  9240.  @mack-uv6gn  $4B? Where do you get that? I don't like that sort of thing, the only justification is that it slightly offsets the $6T in global fossil fuel subsidies, much better to eliminate those but not going to happen.

  9242.  @mack-uv6gn  Sure and they can continue to run them indefinitely as long as cool with 5 or 6X the operating costs of a BEV car. By decade end they can replace them with an E-truck but not a Dodge, they aren't planning on existing by then and GM probably won't make it other than bankruptcy, downsized and/or merged. F has a shot in diminished size. They are all shrinking fast with crippling and growing debt. There will be plenty of other options, in rural America we used to totally rely on Sears, lol. No one misses them now.
    1
  9243.  @mack-uv6gn  Funny you say that, tend to think the same, as so many fret over range. It's a matter if the rare road trips matter or not, for many it shouldn't but still does. But a Lightening that only has 100 mile range towing could make it unacceptable for the guy with a weekend boat or whatever. I'd want more than that especially given the garbage charging options away from home for everything not Tesla. I have slight range anxiety with my 2011 BMW M3 on mountain road trips with amenities sparse, it's only around 300 m. Rare that it's an issue but still matters to me. Seems most pickups are fashion statement, they are crap for anything but off road or hauling a load yet ppl commute in them.
    1
  9244.  @mack-uv6gn  Ford Lightening is very good except for range, towing range is abysmal and charging away from home is garbage, tho they can use Tesla's vastly superior charging network at a small extra cost if they want to adapt to it. They can't mass produce them anytime soon. Body style is relatively trivial to duplicate. Essentially unlimited demand for CT several yrs out. Tesla can mass produce a typical "3-box" pickup after getting close to catching up with demand for other products. Model 3s are replacing such as Camry's, not high end cars, bc they 125MPGe, near zero maintenance and features no ICE car can begin to match. Soon there will be a $30k Tesla which will easily out compete a $20k ICE car.
    1
  9245.  @mack-uv6gn  Tesla's primary competition is still legacy ICE, other than that it's mostly Chinese brands which are the best deal beyond Teslas. Yes VW, F, and GM are bit players but a long way from mass production with the arguable exception of the burning Chevy Bolt. VW is important in Euro but a poor substitute for Teslas, still good except for software. Competition is essential and Tesla certainly won't maintain 70% of US BEV market, it doesn't have to, going from single digit BEV penetration to 90% say--is tremendous growth opportunity for many. Tesla will continue to dominate globally foreseeably.

Give me an example of him promoting some insidious view and exactly how he was financially rewarded. I can only think of one--that he apologized to the radical Leftists concerning Spotify when he had NOTHING to be ashamed of. He shouldn't have done that but no one is perfect under extreme pressure. Those amoral Aholes won't ever be satiated short of destroying him anyway obviously.

    1
  9285.  @Burgermonster  Yup, both can be accurate at the same time. It's not that "neocons" are any better than the "neolibs" it's just that the Left is vastly more dangerous at this moment, completely embracing propaganda, cancelling and vilifying the slightest divergence from their dogma of the day which is divorced from science and reality and promotes authoritarianism. Joe Rogan is one of the best examples, even tho he's openly fairly far Left, he promotes open dialog and so has been targeted for censorship from Leftists idiots.

  9319.  @gc4924  Sounds like you are careful and conservative long range investor. I followed Elon/Tesla for about a decade before gaining conviction enough to load up starting at $38. I had to see them demonstrate mass production capability in 2018 first and then wait for the early 2019 'crash' to get to the level, around $40, where I figured Apple or someone else would by the whole darn company much lower. Plus I had to deal with months of "diversification separation anxiety" as I quadrupled down. I wouldn't recommend anyone do what I did but everyone should own a little TSLA for the long haul. It's hard for folks to get their head around the fact that deciding to stay long today is exactly the same choice as buying at todays price. We don't care where it's been only where it's going.
    1
  9320.  @gc4924  Are there any surprises for The Street involved in those? What catalysts and what makes you think they aren't priced in or even over priced in? I think it's a mistake to be concerned about short term price action unless you are simply trading it which doesn't work well for most ppl. I've ridden it down 60% early this yr and 30% a few months ago only to add slightly, you can only do that with long term CONVICITION. Overall I'm up some 7X.
    1
  9321.  @gc4924  Yes it implies still more room to run but I wouldn't be surprised to see it trade sideways for much of 2021 after the run we've had.

  9322.  @sonnysamra8733  You might put a bid in for a few percent lower than current if you are really concerned about entry price but it could run away too, apparently good news out of Germany today. Daily fluctuations disappear on longer range charts, trivial noise.
    1
  9323.  @sonnysamra8733  It's too hard to time it, just own it. The only instance I really timed it right was the 2019 bottom at $38 when I stopped trading it and just backed up the truck, only added since. It could do anything in the next 6 months but suspect it will be flat at worse and likely up 1.5 to 2.5X in a yr if things go well. Anyone who pretends to know tho--is bullshitting.

I put that time into understanding the "story" (fundamentals, landscape, execution, potential of a company) such that I build sold conviction that way riding out dips is relatively easy and stress free and I don't fall victim to our shared emotional reactions which always result in selling at the worst times. I don't change course until the story changes. I rode it down from prior highs 60% early last yr then 30% later only to add a little more and wind up some 600%. Only fool children pretend to know where a stock is going short term, however I expect TSLA to be 1.5 to 2.5X above today in a yr, it could easily be flat for the 1st half then major catalysts will be realized. But yeah--if you don't believe in it you can't own it bc you WILL be blown out at a low after losing. For the same reasons I question if the other bets will work for you.
    1
  9325. @GG IF you are looking for the "next Tesla", just buy TSLA, there is no 'next' and never will be. I take it you have ARKK which has a 10% stake.
    1
  9326. @GG Tesla will likely be the 1st 6 to $8T company. Yes you will continue to be wrong probably for the same reasons you've BEEN wrong. But it's extremely difficult to get one's head around, took me nearly a decade before deciding to 'bet the ranch' mid 2019.
    1
  9327. @GG You missed the quickest money in the last 6 yrs in the name you haven't missed it entirely, doesn't matter where it's been only where its GOING. Instead of 10X in 18 months it may 10X in 5 to 8 yrs, still one of the best places to be invested.

  9329. Hope? That's really all there is to it right? H has no future in surface transportation. Good luck gambling, I expect it to decline for at least a yr.

  9330.  @T-Dog_nation  Batt swapping is a temporary "solution" at best and won't work for long...requiring 2 batts for every car, a warehouse of batts at every station, orders of magnitude higher cap X than charging stations, a full time attendant. Where as charging will soon become as quick as swapping. Swaps will fail but Nio may well thrive, I haven't done the work on it. Specifically HOW is their tech and culture superior?
    1
  9331.  @T-Dog_nation  Nio might be OK but all of the "next Tesla's" are highly suspect. To the moon is child's talk. What's the investment thesis?
    1
  9332.  @T-Dog_nation  Education is rarely inexpensive! School is always in session here. For me H is DOA (for surface transportation) even if the company is honest.

  9333.  @T-Dog_nation  "Accounting irregularities equals SELL."

  9334.  @karenvtechgal397  You are correct--I don't get that. Granted Elon puts socialism in it's proper place, in the damned trash bin, and makes ALL governments 'look bad'.

  9335. I backed over and crushed several folks today bc my transmission is an "automatic" I assumed it KNEW I wanted to go forward! Not MY fault.

  9336.  @gmv0553  Even if a Tesla is significantly better, safer and cheaper? What's your issue with Elon?
    1
  9337.  @onespeedlite  You'll change your mind. I still love my screaming 9k revving BMW V8, but for a daily driver? BEVs are just better, not about to get one yet as I keep vehicles until completely obsolete and prefer to max my real investments instead. When I get to several $M it won't matter so much.
    1
  9338.  @onespeedlite  Do they count oil changes, filters and such as "service issues"? I don't think so, but that would be a big deal to a Tesla owner. Is your friend going to go back to ICE or another brand or overall happy with her Tesla? Brand loyalty is by far the highest for Tesla drivers, THAT tells the real story.
    1
  9339.  @onespeedlite  What yr and model does she have? An X? Ranked bottom only IF including the litany of software updates done over the air, which BTW, no one else can do. And some trivial stuff. Consumer Reports just ranked the Model Y as most reliable. I can give you a dozen examples of folks driving Teslas for yrs without a single service issue.
    1
  9340.  @onespeedlite  Much better analogy is Iphone vs Blackberry or button flip phones. Famous photos of street scene in NYC, 1900 it was jammed with 100's of horse drawn wagons and only 1 ICE car, very same location photo in 1913--all ICE w only 1 horse wagon.
    1
  9341.  @onespeedlite  Almost everyone taking your angle has never driven a good modern BEV, they don't know how inexpensive they can be to purchase, barely considered the 4 or 5X reduced fueling costs or that almost zero servicing required, never need to visit a gas station unless road tripping. Just a much better experience all around. Was chatting with guy who bought cheap old Kia EV for his kids college commuting, after several 10's of thousands of miles he figured it cost $700 in electricity vs $7000 is gas he saved. (that's a bit exceptional maybe but is what it is)

Nothing is automatic or guaranteed but trades in demand plus integrity, work ethics, etc. Self employed diesel mechanic and welders--$150 per hr after some yrs of hard experience. Electrician, plumber, carpenter....6 figures if they are worth a damn at it, likewise for heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, many others.

  9346. The time to resist this was yrs ago when the reckless insane shutdowns and mindless mandates began. What did you THINK would happen??

  9347.  @johnf2926  You need to look at Tesla's mission statement from over a decade ago, can't believe you are ignorant of it.

  9349. Expensive based on WHAT? What's your comp?
    1
  9350. Yup. The higher it get's the better the short argument becomes in THAT one respect, disregarding REASONS for the price action. Still very likely to get run over on the short side, I'll continue to bet against the shorties as I have since early last June and be very grateful to them for the big wealth transfer TO ME. :D
    1
  9351.  @ThinkMoneyBenny  You have conviction in AAPL, presumably for good reasons. If and when you can say that about others including TSLA....you know what to do. I never considered selling my TSLA since going long around same price you did. It could drop 30% next month and I will ride it out (likely add) unless there is a compelling change in the story for the worse.
    1
  9352.  @ThinkMoneyBenny  In any case you are probably learning these lessons a lot younger than I did. Keep learning and keep investing and you'll do fine. Many of us think TSLA could be 10X higher 5 or 10 yr.s from now, sure there are many risks but that's where my money is. "The best time to plant a tree is 10 yr.s ago, the next best time is today!" :D A yr. or two from now this might look like a very decent entry point.
    1
  9353.  @ThinkMoneyBenny  Not being critical. We've ALL done it. I thought I was clever taking 10% profits in 2 wks. on Apple when it had a market cap of 1/5 what it is today, feel pretty stupid about that now.
    1
  9354.  @ThinkMoneyBenny  Rationally speaking: Continuing to stay long today is exactly the same as purchasing at today's price. You sold premature bc you didn't have CONVICTION in the longer term story, conviction only follows understanding both the bull and bear cases and the prospects for the company going forward. KNOW WHAT YOU OWN.
    1
  9355. You think? Are you way short TSLA, or planning to be soon or just cheap talking?
    1
  9356. crpyt clown You just made the case for knowing what you own and why , having conviction is crucial so you don't get blown out at the worst possible time. I didn't buy TSLA heavy until early last June after following the company closely for yr.s. So I wasn't fazed by the dips bc I believe in the long term story. Also trading is for professionals only (or fools), with a few exceptions.
    1
  9357.  @bentleytran1442  Good luck with that, I'm not smart enough to be a successful at trading, I would have been bounced out several times in the last 7 months only to buy back higher. Having conviction in the long term story is the only way for me, so I ride out the dips or add. As it is I have about 240% gains in that time.

  9360.  @3deaster  It won't happen in a decade but the obsolescence of petrol has begun, beginning of the end. Even the Saudi's have said they expect oil to have zero marginal value in some 25 yr.s. It doesn't much matter what folks in Houston want, petroleum was never going to be forever.

  9361.  @3deaster  One should always check their thesis. Listening to the bears helps me do that.

  9362.  @3deaster  You apparently haven't tuned in as they've had regular and occasional Tesla bulls on for yr.s. In any case I'm in the fanboy bubble and benefit from hearing the other side, I have too much riding on TSLA to bullshit myself.
    1
  9363.  @Adam13Chalmers  I don't think anyone inc Tesla will sell a compelling truck at $40k and make a profit, certainly not Ford, but they will sell well much higher priced for yrs to come as operating costs are dramatically lower than ICE.
    1
  9364.  @ABanRocks  Telling how all the legacies talk about how many tens of billions they plan to spend (waste??) while Tesla just builds capacity like crazy with extreme capital efficiency. Toyota is a joke and going broke later this decade like most of the rest, it's TOO LATE for them, auto market will be dominated by Chinese and Tesla.

  9368. Ford is another riding Tesla coattails ironically, it will NOT continue for long. Sooner or later their dangerous debt load and inability to mass produce EVs or profit much off them will be reflected in the stock. Granted you can trade anything.

    1
  9392.  @MMM-dq2cd  Which gangs? Cops or privateers? Not much difference often. ALL of it is driven by making substances crimes and law enforcement becomes addicted to it also via asset forfeitures and general revenue and demand. Drug gangs would disappear overnight without the extreme prices involved which is 100% caused by criminalizing intoxicants. Sounds like you have some guilt to deal with there, hmmm?
    1
  9393.  @MMM-dq2cd  Sure. No excuse for those who are profiting off our inane endless "war on drugs", it's lucrative ONLY bc it's artificially risky business. That doesn't abdicate individual responsibility for the users who drive the market. If there are buyers there will be sellers. Remember the worst drug ever is alcohol and prohibition of it was worse still. We didn't learn much did we.

"Real car companies" are on a path to downsizing, consolidation and bankruptcy, they still think their going to be selling tons of ICE cars into next decade, pure fantasy, and they are no where near mass production of EVs other than VW. "The competition has been coming" for a decade, only those from China will be much competition for Tesla.
    1
  9409.  @fanirama  Profit is one of the highest moral principles, it means creating more value than you are consuming to create it. For Elon money is an essential tool, nothing more or less like for all of us, but his goals are as spectacular as his "accidental" (in a sense) wealth.

  9411.  @jordanslingluff287  I've made a modest fortune on the name, how about YOU? Shouldn't you be asking questions instead of advising others?? The short answer is: IT's COMPLICATED and your childishly simplistic considerations are what (I assume) kept you from becoming rich on TSLA all along. Am I right? Lazy and simple, it's a human tendency and the entire reason TSLA remains the best large cap opportunity today. Very conservative DCF analysis puts Tesla at double the market cap right now and only for the car part of biz, not SAS/FSD/robotaxis or Optimus or energy, etc.

  9433.  @duhbigcat1848  With thousands of good options why would I gamble with a single yellow flag?

Not all that different from Nikola coasting down hill really. Be honest here--are you looking for the next Tesla?

  9443.  @Mmmmmmmwwww  My information can and does come from anywhere BUT our government. In China you get nothing but CCP approved propaganda. Yes our corporate media is full of fake news but I don't have to go there. Do you really suppose banning YouTube, Facebook, international internet in general....is that for the good of the people or to control the ppl? (rhetorical question) We have a constitution, mostly held to, that limits the extent of government incursion into private matters. If you favor authoritarian rule you don't belong in a democracy, you deserve the oppression you are guaranteed to suffer.

  9444.  @asy001  I love my country too but not necessarily "my" governments. Totalitarian regimes often succeed at fooling their ppl, censorship, propaganda and fear work.

  9450.  @zhengshencn  They are not honest if the system hasn't cracked down on them OR they hide their identity. Does anyone really think anyplace is perfect? That's what you have to pretend if you have a significant following in China or very nasty things WILL HAPPEN. Sure they might enjoy their lives if self censorship is OK with them, I have little respect for that. Plus there are a litany of career mouthpieces for the CCP, paid propagandists. If you fall for them you are childishly naïve, they are hilariously transparent. Celebrities often wind up on the wrong side of things for trivial transgressions, actors are disappeared or lives ruined. Jack Ma publicly made the slightest criticism of regulators and temporarily disappeared, you can be sure he got the message in no uncertain terms. Do you want to live like that? I couldn't. Now the CCP wants to redistribute wealth in no small part bc success and wealth are prized so highly by Chinese ppl so those who achieve it (which requires a lot of bribery BTW) attract fans which gives them some power over ppl and the CCP can't cope with anyone but themselves having influence unless they are so pathetic as to only pander to the party line or avoid the slightest controversy at all costs. The road they are on is guaranteed to slow economic development to some degree, but time will tell.

  9451. Universal poverty is equality and it's the inevitable result of your statement taken literally. Why do you care if you are only a millionaire (anyone can be in America today) and someone else is a billionaire? Have you been so indoctrinated by our rotten public schools as to believe one persons gain is another's loss?

  9452.  @phillip76  Why? Why not limit it to $1k, to homeless folks that's plenty. Do you really want to be Cuba, N. Korea, Venezuela or even China?? It's not a coincidence that Communism always results in mass slaughter, it's the core believe to sacrifice the individual and we are all individuals to be sacrificed for "the good of the many".
    1
  9453.  @royalmontpark  "To each his need from each his ability." That's the brief accurate description of what Communism stands for. The individual is entirely expendable "for the greater good", if you don't understand how that inevitably leads to Stalin and tens of millions murdered, then you simply haven't thought it thru. YES it's evil, some things just are. Would you really defend the Taliban in the same way? How about The Inquisition, care to defend that too? If so you are an idiot I don't care to talk to. When it comes to Communism you are either indoctrinated or just ignorant. Are you really going to compare Hitler, Stalin, Kim Jong Un to Canada?? That's not only childishly stupid but it's damned dangerous. Are you 12??

  9454.  @royalmontpark  1/5 of the worlds population was "happily" starving not so long ago, do you even know THAT? Do you understand the difference between the country, the PEOPLE and the government?? How many decades have YOU lived in China? Communism is evil and so is the CCP. You can pretend otherwise but truth stays the same no matter what you believe and reality matters .

  9456.  @tonymontana1965  Good to hear. In the USA we've badly needed campaign finance reform and various other anti-graft measures. That's all it takes to prevent money from having influence. I fear even more the stupidity of the voting public who WILL GET what they want regardless of how destructive it might be. There essentially is no such thing as "hellish conditions" for workers and even if there were--how are you helping them by eliminating an option? No one goes to work without making the choice every damn day that the time effort and risk are justified by the compensation. In the US we can all be as wealthy as we bother to create. Don't like options offered? Neither did I so I started my own biz, created my own job at 20. THEN it's as Laze Fair Capitalism as can be, beautiful just between me and my customers, together we decide on the spot how to achieve a goal (or they simply trust me to decide) and I get it done to relative perfection and get well compensated. I don't do anything for cheap but I'm highly cost effective. Economic freedom is every bit as precious and essential as freedom of religion, speech or anything else.

  9458. Universal poverty is equality, would that satisfy you? Anyone can be rich in America today, why not just go create your own prosperity like any responsible citizen? Billionaires aren't a problem for me, homeless derelicts are. The notion that one person's gain is another's loss is one of the most backward, childishly non-think myths out there.

  9459. Big fan of infrastructure rebuild--but it's going to create more TRADE jobs, we already have a surplus of those for decades now, few want to work that hard or they don't consider such due to the stigmatization of physical/dirty jobs in America. Bring in millions more Mexicans I guess.

  9460.  @keto6789  Were I to more carefully explain it to, say a market Noob in particular. I'd focus on the 25 yrs of experience and market discipline in general and a decade of following a particular situation with increasing intensity. The 3 yrs was just executing on many yrs of savings, modest gains and hard won knowledge and practices. So I could say it took me 10 yrs to 10X just as accurately, it was only the final realization that took 3 yrs. Going forward I believe 10X again is likely before end of decade but NOT 3 yrs.

  9518.  @joellim7010  Well he was one of the few and definitely the loudest to predict the 2008/9 crash in 2007 and took a lot of heat for it. He created FANG when they still had yr.s of great run left, he got behind TSLA when it was around 300 right after 5 yr.s of dead money in the name....I could carry on.
    1
  9519. It took me until 18 months ago after following it for yr.s, so....I won't criticize him being skeptical I was too.
    1
  9520. Yeah he got behind it at a good but not perfect time right after 5 yr.s of dead money. There was ample reason to be skeptical, not many could see such spectacular success given the extremely difficult circumstances and Elon seemingly not taking it seriously.

  9521. Glad he wasn't as I was buying heavy from 190 to 330ish.

  9522. He has a $900 target for TSLA and has said amazingly positive, insightful (for The St.) things about owning it in recent months. This is anything but pessimistic overall.

  9523.  @mydutube  Recently stated emphatically to his clients wanting a basket of EV stocks but shunning Tesla: "You have to own Tesla bc there is the risk that they will make ALL the rest obsolete." (in the context of the EV basket) That's well beyond following. Changing one's mind is what adults do all the time, I only got fully behind TSLA (backed Tesla for a decade but that's different) in 2018 after they proved mass production and were substantially de-risked. How about you?

  9524.  @incipidsigninsetup  I no longer consider any China stocks and increasingly avoid Chinese products tho that can be harder especially as they adapt by faking Vietnam or other regional origins and Amazon where I do most of my general shopping shamelessly doesn't give a crap about patent violations, deceptions and all the rest. Definitely avoid any foods from China as it likely comes from a toxic environment, farmed seafood in particular. Plus they are raping the oceans like no one else. (pardon tangents) I used to be a hard core international free trader but the CCP is pure evil and getting worse.

  9525.  @HumanCarBomb  Timing is a fools errand with rare exceptions, but often tempting. I tend to subscribe to the Peter Lynch style and largely ignore all the noise, focus on a few individual companies (not the stock price action or economic prognostications which are usually wrong), Worked for me so far. It's rare that you are seeing what the market is not already broadly pricing in. Much easier to find a Co. that is underestimated such as Tesla in 2019, and even today. Or Apple or Amazon 10 or 15 yrs ago. Keep up on the prospects of the company and ride the ups and downs of the market.

  9537.  @monsterous289  It's somewhat predictable but a little amazing how persistent this impulse to find the next Tesla is. The only thing T made easier was funding and fraud, the competitive landscape is going to be much tougher than T had it. Fundamentally stupid reflex to look for the "next" as if Tesla is done, not to mention as you said, as though anyone can do it. I'm fairly sure everyone betting like that will regret in coming yrs, not just buying TSLA. Yes they are lazy and undisciplined. That NKLA is not a penny stock is the extreme example, a case study in stupidity and wishful thinking, they truly deserve poverty.

  9545.  @freedeworld  I gained a modest fortune on it after following the story for a decade then backing up the truck May 2019 @ $38 then quadrupling down in the following few months. But we don't care where it's been only where it's going, staying long today is precisely the same choice as buying today. Yes it's always uncertain, no risk no gain. Little doubt the 'easy money' is behind us but I believe plenty of upside remains as it will likely see $4T market cap before 2030. As for trading it--did a little of that thru 2018 with some success but have NO edge nor idea for that anymore.

Had Jobs been still at the helm that could look much different. Apple has some 20% of the phone market but 60% of the profits. (very roughly) Tesla is doing similar but in a far bigger field. Currently almost 100% of global BEV profits, Asian brands will trim that over time along with a few others, naturally.

After learning how to utilize Cramer, and better discipline myself, I never lose based on his opinion.

  9581.  @chriskilbourn  Example: I followed Tesla closely for a decade before deciding only 18 months ago to invest in it, I waited until early last June when it crashed below $200 and the bear cases became shrill, hysterical...then went 'all in' against them. I never considered selling during down months because my long term thesis remained intact, until that changes I'll stick with it. My conviction trumped any emotional impulses. (plus a bit of market discipline) Not to suggest it should take you 10 yr.s, maybe a weekend--just whatever it takes for YOU to have conviction.
    1
  9582.  @chriskilbourn  Seriously? hahaha (not laughing at your losses, just the whole notion of such a "strategy") Since when was anything so simple? There is NO SUBSTITUTE for doing the work, knowing what you own and WHY...enough such that you have conviction so as not to react emotionally to market moves....or to some convincing pundit's views.

  9596.  @SmashKing17  I knew enough to make a modest fortune on TSLA, you obviously haven't, and I was in it long before Cramer got onboard. Jim knows market dynamics and thousands of stocks, he's a great resource but I happen to know Tesla/Elon better than he does. Childish glib impulses will leave you as penniless as you are today.
    1
  9597.  @SmashKing17  OKAY....I don't have time for children of any age ("lewd"--WTF is wrong with you?) ...but one last thing: You do know what a price TARGET referrers to? It's usually a yr out, not tomorrow or next month. Cramer is just one opinion, I agree with him but I'm looking out 5, 10 yrs as You should be to IMhO. Ultimately price is truth, that doesn't mean today or next yr, it means eventually fundamentals are everything. Opinions vary as to the future for damn good reason. :D
    1
  9598.  @SmashKing17  Are you bran new to this? Anyway, glad you asked. I'll try to keep it brief, bare with me here: 1)Markets are forward looking, if they priced to perfection and perfection happens what do you expect?....flat line or a dip typically, surprises move stocks, predicted "news" is baked in already! TSLA has a history of volatility this is nothing. It had a blowout Q3 but it's the 5th time in a row that it has done so!! It was a good trade the 1st couple times but not anymore, understand how that works? 2) Did you not notice a 10X run up in 18 months? It's damn due for a pause, frankly hyperbolic moves are never sustainable, they are scary. If it stays around $420 for 6 months that's HEALTHY for a stock like this. There are catalysts, I expect it to move significantly higher by a yr. from now. 3) IF you are an investor as apposed to a gambler you don't give a damn about what the stock price does over any limited time frame, it DOESN'T MATTER. What counts is the fundamentals--is the bull case intact or not? I backed up the truck starting at about $38 2019 and continued buying. I followed Elon and Tesla for over a decade before gaining confidence to go "all in", it took me that long but my foundation is solid as a result so I don't react emotionally to short term moves, even getting cut in half in 4 months, that's a discount to buy into damn sure not sell, but SELL is exactly what the weak hands will do every time in a big dip. I rode TSLA about 60% DOWN earlier this yr. only to buy a little more around $100, you know why?...bc I can't predict short term, no on can, and I had CONVICITION in the thesis over yrs (at least a decade in this case) not days or months I have no idea nor concern what happens in a month. If you are a gambler, aka., you don't know TSLA from NKLA, or NIO or even Bitcoin, GOOD LUCK you can expect casino slot machine results. 4) Weak hands will get washed out in times of 'consolidation' too, those are the gamblers who only chase momentum and don't know what they own, healthy long term for a stock. Fortunately Tesla has a big solid base invested for yrs to a decade and looking toward 2030 who don't tend to sell but only add. 5) Big funds like ARRK have self imposed mandates to adjust their position in TSLA, trimming some at peaks and rebalancing lower. SORRY, no fast easy money available, I don't have time for childish fantasies.

  9635. Do you suppose that Tesla can thrive or even exist in the USSA that we've been sprinting toward in recent yrs? Any investor with their head outside their rectum knows the fastest way to crater TSLA is to demote Elon. SHEEESH. SO myopic, indoctrinated ignorant and stupid it's hard to know what to say.
    1
  9636. I had a couple early car phones around 1990 too. I embrace Tesla and EVs, that in no way indicates which way to bet on TSLA. Everyone loves the cars, including the short sellers, you can love the product and still hate the stock. If you don't understand that then it's best not to own indvidual stocks.
    1
  9637. TSLA is down over last 12 months but it depends how they have traded it, some have most likely profited. It's silly to say "the wrong side of history" just because EVs are going to take over, that doesn't mean Tesla will be a long term viable player. I think TSLA has a good shot but it's been a bad place to put your money for over 5 yrs now. However it appears that the Model 3 is making some of the highest profit margins in the biz right now.

  9644.  @theboys5659  HA! Good for you then, I love to hear about success. When one of us prospers a lot everyone else gains a little even if they don't know it. I started at $38 but ave basis more like $150...I could retire on it already, lol.

  9645. We've rode TSLA down 30 to 60% plenty of times over the yrs, including 2020. Guess I can ride it UP as well. ;-) THIS sort of parabolic movement is disconcerting, it will correct at some point but probably not to where we came from.

All you have to do is save a few bucks per day, 5 Starbux per week deferred say--that's a couple grand per yr. right there. Obviously I don't have "scorn" for the poor, but those perpetually sniveling about their circumstance without bothering to change them disgust me. I worked my way thru college, took me longer than most would find acceptable but graduated with zero debt. NEVER had credit card debt, only 2 significant things I didn't pay cash for--a service truck essential for my biz and the home I live in, both I paid off well ahead of schedule. Only after that and stock investments, etc., did I have any more than an old econobox (one 'luxury' exception, a 'crotch-rocket' I had for 15 yr.s purchased used for half original price cash of course) I've made my share of mistakes but I OWN them I don't scorn those who've done better than me, I learn from them instead.

  9659.  @jordanpasma9099  Companies generally grow far faster when they are young and small. Growth isn't everything either, apparently no one short of Ferrari has similar high profit margins as T. Chinese brands will likely be the only real competitors to Tesla. The fact that Tesla is still dominating in the most competitive EV market on Earth, China, is important too. The CCP will likely limit T.'s dominance however.

    1
  9667.  @server1ok  I'm using USA conditions. My rough numbers DO TELL the entire story as it's ALL priced in to the production and use of the vehicle. Understand? In the US the subsidies for Tesla are long gone and petrol continues to be heavily subsidized while renewable energy for the grid accelerates exponentially with relatively minor subsidies not remotely offsetting fossil subsidies. Petrol is subsidized to the tune of trillions in numerous ways not the least of which is heavy military protection of oil shipping lanes and nations and environmental costs in the neighborhood of $1/gallon at the pump that is not priced in.
    1
  9668.  @server1ok  How do you arrive at the energy required to build a Model 3? I want the numbers. There's a lot else wrong with your claims but lets start there.
    1
  9669.  @server1ok  And they are not subsided by stock, they have some of the highest profit margins in the industry. Those funds are going into the extremely rapid expansion. They are in the process of building or expanding 4 new factories (soon to be 5) and all the product R & D. Your laughably off base on that point.
    1
  9670.  @server1ok  SOME of that's true. They tended to be over optimistic on price and time frames, yes. Until recently when they delivered the Model Y WELL AHEAD of schedule. They have consistently over delivered on performance however. Service is an issue that they need to do a lot more work on and fast, and they are I believe at least in the States. The bottom line is they are by FAR the best value available and outselling all the so called competition. The competition is mostly a joke and the charging options for all the rest are horrible where as Tesla you just park and plug in and get far faster charge rates. They are also the safest and most efficient cars on the planet period. Folks are lining up to purchase them flaws and all, that tells the story.
    1
  9671.  @server1ok  Thanks, hope I'm right! lol. Some say they should raise prices but they have commitments to customers way in advance. It's better if they raise FSD (Full Self Driving option) price as they said they would over time anyway and add other profitable options. Heck some got upset when they lowered prices because they saw their car theoretically devalued if they bought before the reduction. (sort of petty IMO but folks squawk about anything) They have other levers to pull such as a $2k over the air performance upgraded for the Model 3 offered a few months ago to current owners....that sort of thing is nearly all profit for each additional copy....just software. Or they have features that they can unlock for a price on cheaper equipped versions, and so on. It's important that they offer a basic car for $35k just because they said they would yr.s ago--granted very few are getting such a bare bones version but at least it's available.
    1
  9672.  @server1ok  I see, that sounds prudent. It's worth watching how China recovers as a proxy, they seem to be a few months ahead and returning to normal for now at least. Fortunately this all has little effect on my work, it's business as usual in Far North Cali agriculture sector despite 'shutdown' and I can easily be productive without much contact with others. Just transferred more cash from bank to trading account plus max IRA allotment for the yr. Very concerned about all the poor folks in the service sector however. Zero cases of Wuhan reported in my county so far but that's sure to change.
    1
  9673.  @server1ok  Funny I don't even care much anymore about a day like today that may be reversed Monday....or not. I'm focused on deploying the highest cash position I've maintained for a long time, always difficult to do. I'll just be opportunistic with modest increments over time. Waiting until the dust settles means missing the easy money.
    1
  9674.  @server1ok  You can stay in cash for less risk too. AMZN is a good bet in general but I'm looking for a lot more upside. May be telling that TSLA had best reason in months to crater today and didn't.
    1
  9675.  @server1ok  I'm sitting pretty on TSLA, sure it's been painful just recently but I went heavy long starting at $190. So instead of relishing in my "losses" maybe you should participate in amazing gains like I have. This is a good entry point, maybe the best you'll ever get. Short term fluctuations don't effect us who have long term conviction resulting from a broad and deep understanding of the circumstances.

  9728.  @TheRedemptionRain  I had the misfortune of stumbling into MSNBC and CNN takes on Elon/Warren, the ignorance, self loathing idiocy and raging class bigotry coming out of Left field is astounding. I thought FOX could be stupid but even they didn't celebrate racism, CNN and MSNBC are openly promoting rampant wealth hatred. And who's calling them out on it?? I guess it resonates with the most disgusting losers in America.

  9729. Sounds like great timing to ME, unless you are trading. Likely see $1000 a couple/few yrs forward.

  9730.  @willtwain1383  Forward PE of some 18 is deal of the century. Contemplating selling one of my beloved BMWs just for another token $40k for TSLA...this irrationality won't last indefinitely. Anyone selling now is desperate or naïve.
    1
  9731.  @willtwain1383  I don't make short term predictions or ANY price/time predictions. Traders can fret over that noise not I. We could be in for a crushing recession, IDK nor does anyone. ST is 2 yrs or less to me. Confident it'll be some $2k by 2027 or so but not pretending to predict, only fools do that.

  9732.  @willtwain1383  Are you short TSLA currently? Your sell is completely empty if not.

  9733.  @willtwain1383  Made it on TSLA?

  9734.  @willtwain1383  I've made a fortune on it. Have you? "Calling it" is utterly meaningless unless you successfully shorted it, if so--congratulations.
    1
  9735.  @willtwain1383  You know absolutely NOTHING about Tesla cars vs the competition. Drank the Q Kool Aid on that one for sure. Duped and undermines your credibility in general, obviously allowing emotions to dictate your beliefs. Yeah GM brags about how much it's spending on the future, more debt when it's already drowning in it. All the legacies are dying with a couple possible exceptions, F is doing decent all things considered, might survive. Government Motors is depending on yet another bailout. You are comparing Amazon to Sears of 15 yrs ago, exact same arguments and roughly similar situations, or Apple to Blackberry. You'll see in a mere few yrs.
    1
  9736.  @101ado  Be specific? Only red flags I'm aware of are macro, and yes they are very important if we get into a 2009 situation, can't rule that out, theoretically demand could become a minor problem possibly requiring margin cuts, that will devastate the debt laden legacies and the upstarts losing money. Tesla will continue to take near 100% of BEV profits in that event. Elon's word has never let me down with the exception of "Elon Time", he shouldn't let his excess optimism outside internal aspirational targets. Invest every penny of your fortune in either a rocket Co. or car upstart is at least a tad irrationally optimistic. He's delivered on everything, mostly exceeding claimed specifications and usually way behind schedule...production numbers and margins the exception, and most crucial, those have met his projections very well. Go with what you know! He's made me a modest fortune, it's never easy tho.
    1
  9737.  @willtwain1383  Based on what metrics? 400 to $500 is current value to me. 18 forward PE is hilarious, but that's what markets do, they overshoot both ways sometimes dramatically. A yr ago it was arguably too high. Several yrs from now no one will even remember except for those who foolishly gambled and lost. I will continue to add to the horse that got me here and has so much left in coming yrs. My basis is some 6X lower than this and $1k is not too far away IMO. (yrs not months)
    1
  9738. And how much have you gained in markets recently? Talk is not cheap it's worthless without performance.

  9739. Markets always get divorced from reality at times, that's how the biggest opportunities present themselves. Ultimately price is truth, aka...fundamentals.

  9748.  @willinguyen1  Healthier way to look at it is where it may be in 5 or 10 yrs and for that I think a 4T market cap and the largest co. on Earth is entirely in the cards.
    1
  9749.  @willinguyen1  Me too. Laughable notion. I haven sold a share since I started buying heavy at $38 in 2019 but I'll be selling into anything that goes half that crazy....never ends well.

  9752. May Been Not anytime real soon. At least years to a decade or more. EVs make up a tiny fraction of currently produced road vehicles which will be in service for roughly 15 yr.s. Aircraft and heavy equipment and probably shipping will take even longer to change over. But as always it's crucial to be diversified, if all one's money is in any one sector they are being stupid reckless. Global oil demand continues to increase SO FAR.

  9766. emre akdoğan Gold is an insurance policy. It's fine to have 5 or 10% of your money in it for that purpose but it's a NON-performing asset. It's a durable sack of potatoes that never grows and is not essential to anything we do. One day in the distant future we will mine asteroids and gold will become cheap, for now it holds it's value well but gives ZERO RETURN ON INVESTMENT over time.

  9767. Hard to imagine MAYBE but that's exactly what's been happening for over a decade, more affordable and higher margins at the same time.

  9769.  @bluejackscanada  That irrational exuberance, aka, exuberance YOU don't understand, (very difficult to get one's head around, took me almost a decade) has made me a modest fortune since I backed up the truck from $38 to 60 ish in 2019. It's just getting started.
    1
  9770.  @Dank_Nuggetz  Made me a minimal millionaire, so yeah I'm good with it, will be $3k soon enough, couple yrs, 20 to 30k by end of decade. Bargain of the century right now, I'm looking for things to sell or even do a little margin for the 1st time. Sure wouldn't risk it going lower but in this environment and in general, anything is possible short term like a yr.

  9771. And you will continue to miss out and for the same stupid reasons you have to date?

  9772. Things are going so well now Elon can enjoy himself a little, it's a good sign and healthy for him.
    1
  9773. Sure. Making record margins and growing at unprecedented rate, minting money with unlimited demand, all "pump and dump". Number of models is utterly irrelevant when you can't come close to meeting demand with the 4 models in production. Too bad your a bitter looser instead of a savvy investor. TSLA is going vastly higher, it's stupid cheap currently due to external noise and nonsense coupled with emotional gamblers and ignorance you exemplify.

  9774.  @TheM0joDoj0  Brake failure never happened, not once. The Chinese scam artist who made a scene and attempted to extort 3X the value of the car her dad crashed due to speeding and lack of skills, failed, news media there issued apologies for their bs innitial coverage. AP isn't perfect but proves to be far safer than without it. If your going to broadcast your emotion ignorance someone may call you on it.
    1
  9775.  @TheM0joDoj0  What problems precisely are you referring to? Tesla's are by FAR the safest cars ever, they set an entire new level and are just getting stared, 8X safer today 1000X safer in a few yrs.
    1
  9776. There are NO safety issues with Tesla's in China, there is only the CCP problem, they will limit the power and influence of anyone and ensure domestic brands don't get crushed by T.

  9777.  @brooklynsown8217  Not my concern directly except big players "mess with" the market in general to the extent they are active at all, still the above applies. I've made a decent fortune off shorties, mostly from big "smart" funds.
    1
  9778.  @brooklynsown8217  Because they are down from highs? That's markets, never in a straight line to anywhere but ultimately price is truth so if you have solid companies you'll be fine. I have NO way to value cryptos so I'm not involved in them. Everyone who got hurt in--say 2008/9, did so only due to their own foolishness, reacting emotionally, had they simply rode it out they'd have thrived by now. I'm not trading, not reacting, reason to expect couple yrs out I be way ahead. (already way ahead where I was 3 yrs ago)

  9785.  @rakura  I tune into 100's of pundits on these topics, I get ideas and learn from all I blindly follow NONE. I'm up some 4X over just last yr. and Cramer get's some cred for it including helping convince me to take the pandemic seriously (sold everything I wanted to way early this yr to buy back lower). I knew a retired guy with $200k on WAMU back in 2007, much of his net worth unfortunately and he was too conservative to listen to a clown like Cramer--TOO BAD bc that $200k went to ZERO and he would at least have been warned by Jim had he listened, while most of his investment was still intact.
    1
  9786.  @rakura  GOOD GRIEF... all you know about Cramer is a useless comedian's stunt? Yes that exposed his worse week now it's time for you to learn what mattered 1000X more than that. https://youtu.be/TaKnDMv6ceg That is just one of several warnings long before the crash, it contains arcane Street references that go over most ppls heads, the point is he's telling everyone to get clear of the entire financial sector and even market in general if you can't ride it out, and mentions WAMU in particular which was the 1st of it's kind to fail. Cowardly Stewart can hide behind his trivial entertainment only status he need not present balance let alone journalistic standards. Cramers warnings when they really mattered, vastly outweigh his Bear fuckup which he didn't present with any conviction, it was obvious he simply didn't want to contribute to the destruction of the firm. Think and use your own judgement no one is right all the time.
    1
  9787. He was the ONLY one who screamed warnings long before the crash and he caught a lot of heat from The Street for it, how could you not know that?

My number one customer employees dozens of lousy truckers and can't wait to get rid of ALL them. :D
    1
  9822.  @gunner8216  Railroads are very uncompetitive and slow to advance, otherwise it's a good point. Autonomous will be with us in a few yrs MOST LIKELY, certainly before the end of decade and regulators will accept it when they see how vastly safer it is. Some places before others (hats off to Florida) and they will reap early benefits which other states and nations will be unable to ignore or avoid. Slowing this progress will result in the needless continuation of the current mass slaughter on global roadways.
    1
  9823. ALL those things ARE paying the drivers more and they are also increasing wages. Fortunately the end of needing drivers is now in sight, it will be automated and far cheaper/safer.

  9832.  @andrerodriguez7603  They bent over backwards to accommodate Tesla so they have something invested in it. Quite a lot. Somehow Elon got special treatment even if it's just so they can pilfer technology and proprietary secrets more easily, plus a signal for how they might treat other companies creating industry and jobs. They pilfer anyway. Tesla uniquely was waived the need to partner with a Chinese Co and a lot more.
    1
  9833. Things would have to get a lot worse but it's one of the biggest risks for TSLA IMhO. Definitely would be shooting themselves in the foot and Elon "has a special relationship with Xi" according to Sandy Munro--I'm not sure exactly what that means nor am I entirely comfortable with it given Xi tyrannical tendencies.

  9847. The 250 to 500k he's talking about (I believe) is run rate by yr end, very optimistic, way beyond Tesla's expectations but not close to 250/500k production for 2024.

They need to produce the things already committed to, brains and other resources are never infinite....FSD, Semi, CT, 4680's, new factories, econobox, solar stuff and stationary storage, roadster, robotaxies, humaniod robot, insurance.....GOOD GRIEF, and you want to add a stupid phone?

Asking questions and (god forbid) being critical of their failings, yes they do have some, is healthy for Tesla. No one wants to see them thrive more than I, that doesn't mean I worship at the alter of Elon, it means I have massive respect for him and his achievements. You understand the difference I hope.

  9871.  @phreshlivin1881  Legacy auto mfgs have massive headwinds including huge debt, pensions, unions and the inherent conflict between short term profits and long term investments required to have a chance of existing into next decade, many won't. Plus the dealership handicap and most of their profits coming from servicing which EVs do not require. Only Tesla has a roadmap to produce the many multiples of batts over current production, required to make millions of cars per yr in a few yrs. "Dominate the market"--depends what you mean, 20 to 30% will likely continue for the next several yrs which is well beyond what they need to thrive by 2030. Robotaxis are essentially a given be autonomous solved by the end of this yr or several yrs out. That alone should add trillions to the market cap mid decade and NO ONE else is close to solving it other than geofenced so they may pay Tesla for licenses to use it. Tesla will be producing 20M cars per yr. well before end of decade most likely, that's VW plus Toyota production. Dominant? IDK, you tell me if that qualifies. Plenty of room for the other big players especially out of China, downsized VW, F, GM and other upstarts like Rivian.

  9880.  Trigger Troll  Norway has some of the highest EV numbers on the Planet, the only penalty is reduced range in extreme cold, otherwise they function much better than traditional vehicles. Going from 350 to 280 miles range ain't a deal breaker for most especially as the charge rate goes to 100 miles in 5 minutes and most of the time folks just plug in at night or at work often for free. Even businesses are offering free charging to get you to stop at their place...get a coffee and snack while gaining another 100 or 200 miles for nothing. You too will drive an EV because sooner or later you will get tired of all the ICE hassles, cold engine battles, ice in fuel lines, air filters, oil changes, injection and ignition problems, well I don't need to tell YOU, lol. Plus you'll get tired of driving the slowest car/truck on the road which ICE already are. I'm not an early adopter and you might be the last but the trend is clear. I still love my BMW S65 V8 but it will be my last ICE car if not truck, a fantastic way to end an era.

  9881.  Trigger Troll  ALL IRRELEVANT. You represent 0.4% of the global population. Most of us won't live in your tiny backwater for just that sort of reason. The numbers I was talking about are where the majority of liquid fuel is consumed and it AIN'T Canada let alone mining.

  9882.  Trigger Troll  Your bubble does NOT represent the world, sorry to pop it. Look at the global consumption numbers. If I worked at a tire manufacturing plant I might think it used a lot of fossils too but it just DOESN'T, not on the big picture.

  9883.  Trigger Troll  I didn't say mining machines were about to become batt powered. What the HELL does that have to do with anything? Your talking about a tiny fraction of diesel consumption and yes it's likely to continue for decades. Are you really THIS SIMPLE? What does that have to do with the viability of BEVs??? Besides NOTHING. Oh...and had you failed to notice that wind and solar are becoming the cheapest NEW e-power on Earth? "Yeah but they need diesel mining machines too....blablabla!" Guess what bozo--they need human operators too, what's your point? Do you have one?

  9884.  Trigger Troll  Do you know how lithium is mined? Doesn't sound like it. Anyway your statement is a joke intended or not.

It could to the extent that they need to import car parts/supplies for that factory, but I believe some 90% will be fabricated at that factory and since it's for the Chinese market the trade war could actually help overall as it may harm competition even more.

Yeah saving Twitter from both bankruptcy and the Neo-Marxist activists, was arguably necessary to alter the course toward becoming the USSA. Do you suppose Tesla, SpaceX and the rest can even exist under Communist rule?? You may not understand or agree but he sees AI in the wrong hands as an existential threat, almost everyone who understands AI agrees.

  9905. Your probably trolling but.... They can't possibly be that bad else 99.8% of owners wouldn't say they love the cars, and they do. Yeah they have some issues but dramatically fewer over time. Paint jobs are crap some say, they dent too easy, some of the fancy features failed in the early versions and so on, most of it was taken care of by Tesla. Have you ever driven or ridden in one? Joe Rogan (well known on YouTube) is a CAR GUY, Porches, muscle cars and such, he says his Model 3 makes all other cars seem STUPID.

  9906.  @JT-xq2hv  Love to hear that . "Brakes locking up" is not the point, no automatic system is going to do that without total system failure that should disable itself first, ABS would prevent it. IT can and HAS stopped or nearly stopped quickly in high speed traffic for no good reason and other alarming faults. Overall it still dramatically reduces the chances of an accident however and is evolving rapidly. I don't know when FSD becomes a reality but it will certainly dramatically improve road safety. That said I'm glad I'm still allowed to drive my own car. One day it will be illegal to manually drive on public roads, by then I'll likely be too old to care.

  9907. Good related clip I just came across: https://youtu.be/2sFv4QD1Yak It's an extremely hard nut to crack, I'm happy with the progress and this endorsement from Bloomberg and regulators. If not mistaken, using Tesla on AP is some 4 to 6 times less likely to get in an accident than average car and driver ALREADY, it has some serious problems as expected but it's improving fast. As a fan and TSLA holder I love it.

  9911. Here is what we KNOW: T cars have earned the highest crash worthiness test scores of all time by government test ratings. (the 3 essentially got a 6 out of 5, or something above 5, they are going to need a higher rating system as other mfg.s will for sure also achieve similar results soon) The top rated cars on the planet for surviving a crash are the X, S and Model 3, in ascending order. NO doubt they are THE choice if safety is your priority--for now. I don't think Y ratings have be done yet but it's almost certain to be in the top 4 given T's track record. Possibly more important-- the data that I've seen says they are some 4 to 6 times less likely to get in a crash in the first place when using AP As new, limited and flawed as AP is on the way to the incredibly tough to crack autonomous, or FSD, Full Self Driving capability, it's already making cars dramatically safer. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Then Feds in their infinite wisdom curtailed the practice around 1960 resulting in decades of fuel build up and catastrophic fires. Many native tree species can't even exist without fire.

Native Americans lit it off seasonally, then ranchers, loggers and other forest users and lovers continued seasonal burns until forced to stop by bad government policies.

  10012.  @gardensofthegods  You are only seeing snapshots from these short clips. I watched an hr. long vid from most of the main roads made for ppl who live there to get a glimpse of their properties. Some places it looked like even the big trees were mostly cooked other places where a minority of homes were fine and almost all the large trees looked to be OK. One home had water spilling/sprinkling on the roof, it was fine, another looked perfect with a ladder against the roof as if someone stayed to protect it. No doubt some folks who stayed saved their places others tried and failed. Given how many got caught up in the traffic jam panic evacuating, some dying there, staying to confront it may not have been the worst choice....impossible to know ahead of time....tough call for me had I been there.
    1
  10013. Typical forest fires in this area. Wind blows embers low to ground, big trees are adapted to fire anyway it's part of the seasonal evolutionary landscape and they are wet, structures are dry and light easily if they don't have such as steel roofs plus dry leaves in gutters.

    1
  10015.  75joev  Exactly. This is a conversation way over due, I hope we have seen enough carnage by now to deal with it, to make some difficult choices and face it head on. We can still live in the beautiful wild lands we simply have to be a lot more prudent about it. For those who appose controlled burning due to smoke and risk of losing control....well now we see how much smoke and risk is built into avoiding this problem. I remember driving thru the Yosemite area as a child when they were burning it off, you might not even know it was being done from above the canopy if not for the modest smoke filtering up, the fires were scattered everywhere moving low and slow, you could nearly jump over them safely. Large trees were unscathed! That worked because it was done regularly, the brush never got a chance to build up. (pardon caring on but it's important to me, I'm done now)
    1
  10016.  75joev  My principle point here is that it's unproductive to throw up our hands and say "we're screwed, there is nothing we can do about it" beyond reducing CO2 and such which we have to do regardless. There is plenty to be done from building fire resistance into structures to reducing the fuel load in the wild lands. Long before climate was even a mainstream concern "WE knew" (those of us in this area who are aware at least) that Paradise and the whole region was facing this major threat. It has been a topic of conversation for decades. We knew 50 yr.s ago what should have been done but wasn't, probably a lot longer than that for those old enough. I have a friend who has over 100 acres in the hills not far from Paradise, he will probably be one of the very few who will be fine WHEN, not if, the fire crosses his area. He has the entire place free of heavy brush, ladder branches trimmed up high (branches that can carry fire from ground to canopy on large trees), half a century of pine needle deposits several ft. deep cleared and burned off, etc, there simply isn't much left to carry a fire through unless it 'crowns out' and even then it at least can't threaten his house as the large trees are nicely spaced out. And of course he has steel roofs and other common sense features. He didn't clear cut anything other than the immediate areas built on, it's beautiful with even some cleaned up manzanita bushes tastefully left. It's almost shocking the difference between his land and the surrounding area where the 10' tall DENSE flammable brush is impenetrable by man, machine or even light....when that goes during dry weather it takes everything with it. The unchecked neighboring acreage even looks ugly in comparison. It's not likely feasible to invest that sort of effort into the entire landscape but it's a MODEL of what could and should be done all around populate areas and to a lesser extent everywhere in those foothills. NO WAY it needs to be as bad as the Paradise catastrophe. Many of the same principles apply to the South as well.
    1
  10017.  75joev  Maybe. Multi decade Cali droughts have happened many times in the last few thousand yr.s. We have been lucky so far to that extent.
    1
  10018.  75joev  Right. Up north here we have a somewhat different situation. Historically (say 150 yr.s ago plus) fires burned off the brush every few years if not annually and that was healthy. But even in the south it was noted when settlers first arrived how the Indians would torch the landscape, it was small stuff of course because it was done so frequently it didn't even threaten ppl or other animals much.
    1
  10019.  @ibetternotseeyousimp556  I would suggest you study up on Cali wild lands and the historic roll of fire but that would be reality based, not something you are interested in.

The hottest temps were in the 1920/30s, around 1984 was a minimum which is why it's referenced, it fits the false narrative. Look into it.

Either way this has nothing to do with Tesla so far as we know.

Back in the height of The Cold War I always thought the 'domino theory' was BS, just defend our borders and allow the USSR and proxies to fail on their own, as they eventually did. (Regan's military spending often gets credit but that's a myth, Soviet spending never tracked ours) It took a long time. Tyranny works in the sense that it keeps ppl inline, indoctrinated and ignorant of the rest of World. China is getting worse and it was never great and still mostly very poor. What is the zero Covid nonsense actually for? To single out anyone who resists such insane immoral atrocities vs the compliant?? Sure isn't about health an welfare.

And then you mention the god of the Bible in particular which is even more laughable an assertion. Man has created thousands of gods, each as likely to be real as the next. How many gods are there? Is it an infinite regression, one god creating the next? It's sad to love something that doesn't exist, must be a major void in your life. There may be a god but you don't know let alone what form it takes. Agreed that science get's coopted by dogmas in many areas but it certainly doesn't say more than 2 genders exist in humans unless you consider god's fuckups like ppl born with both genders.

  10140.  @ianashton1593  One size doesn't universally fit all circumstances but our democracy works well enough that the ppl get more or less who they ask for. On issues that the masses are not focused on--no doubt "graft" (lobbying) can have insidious effects. Constituency is paramount right or wrong, if they want to keep the job, and even to preserve the future of their tribe, aka., party. Many issues are so 'small and specific' that only special interest groups even notice, for those, a representative will often go with, say 3 calls to their office pleading a yes vote while 2 calls take the other side--they go with the 3 calls typically. When only two viable canidates for president are crap then we end up with crap president...not that THAT ever happens.

I've stockpiled modest stash of canned goods to last for months due to the idiocy of Western governments in recent yrs, motivated by these sorts morons. I'd bet good money not one of them can even grow potatoes, fertilized with weed tea, personal pee and their own feces, hunt rodents and birds for protein. Harvest fire wood or any other basic necessity. I'm far from self sufficient, not realistic, but have done/do all that and much more and have real skills to help keep whatever tools are left, functional, and defend my necessities with lethal force as last resort. (don't expect to need it and NO prepper but a little preparation can go a long way) Sometimes almost welcome the catastrophe they advocate just to eliminate their kind either by starvation or the school of desperation and hardship. Either is fine with me. Never crossed their minds how dependent they are on entitlements they can't begin to create but assume without thought will somehow be provided.

  10263.  @oldbloke204  You still don't seem to understand that fire is essential element of the landscape and at this point--so is humanity, at least until we undo most of the fuel buildup we caused. Lightening is not new and everything is geared to require fire. Natives burned it seasonally then ranchers, loggers, etc., it WORKED. Then the Feds came and forced an end to the crucial practice and worse, putting out all fires. Climate is a factor but it's not as warm as the peak of Medieval Warm Period despite attempts to erase that history for sake of narrative. We have enough trees that were alive then and still thriving, to know it wasn't catastrophic. I don't much care what anyone thinks about Tesla. I DO care about the persistent gross lack of understanding of the local landscape. Long time hobby horse of mine. On the outside chance some here care enough, very short vid segment precisely about this particular fire: https://youtu.be/-F7Dn1sxrvw?t=678 (just one or two min at that start point) And a 14 min vid about some common old growth requirements, both easy listening and interesting: https://youtu.be/mZDol3pHkMI Just to get folks thinking, take hours to cover half properly.

  10264.  @oldbloke204  You'd have said the same about Tesla 5 yrs, 20X ago. No? Certainly the same narratives were the norm. Never easy finding signal in the noise. No reason you would but you know nothing about Tesla, few do, why it's still an opportunity. Extremely difficult to get head around half of it. Couple hints: T is the only Co. on Earth even attempting let alone succeeding at general solution to autonomous driving. (Chinese will/may be beginning to copy) The same AGI can be applied to humanoid bots. The arithmetic on those results in insane numbers if T captures, say 20% of global market. (Apple has roughly 20% of smartphone market and captures 60% of profits) I don't care what U believe, but gambling it is NOT. Extremely lucky for exceptional opportunity, NOT lucky to cash in on it. Never easy. (pardon caring on, struggle to be brief)

  10265.  @oldbloke204  Fire is NOT OPTIONAL in most of the US, certainly the West. What is somewhat optional is when and how things burn. Many native tree species, inc redwoods, cannot exist without fire, reptile diversity requires it, invasive weeds are controlled by fire, what's left of old growth, 200/300 yr old trees will die without fire. Short list. Need more arguments? Not talking about catastrophic fires which are almost entirely man made, from clear cutting and "high grading" (removing large trees) to lack of frequent low intensity fires, mostly the latter. High time the pervasive ignorance is eroded. "Smokey Bear was the cruelest joke ever played on the West." (a local 4th gen rancher noted)

  10266.  @oldbloke204  PE alone is as dumb as it gets. You call it gambling but I guarantee you I know far better than U what I own and why, granted I've invested insane amount of time and energy on it. Future of TSLA? 10 or 20X before 2030, 100X by mid 2030's. The vehicle sales, while growing another 10X, will be a rounding error in terms of profits.

  10268.  @oldbloke204  I've gained modest fortune on TSLA. It's not about trading but investing, 5, 10 plus yrs. First backed up the truck around $12, 5 yrs ago. Did you fall for that Establishment narrative that BEVs are done? hahaha OK go with that.

  10269.  @oldbloke204  Situation normal, July is hot here. I've gained a modest fortune on TSLA. How about U? Did you fall for the propaganda propagated by the Establishment that BEVs are done? hahaha OKAY...go with that, just like Biden isn't senile they said.

By now the ppl of Iran and ppl of USA should be mostly aligned, they don't love harsh Islamic Law, very smart capable ppl. And we mostly just want peace, freedom justice and prosperity for ALL.

  10289.  @aussiegrandpa  What court convicted him of fraud and sexual assault and what were the sentences? 4000 other court cases doesn't mean a damn thing. X indictments from a DOJ that's a corrupt as DHS, FBI, CIA, NIH...on and on and on. Remember the 2 yr FBI/Russian investigation farce? Pet project of FBI in collusion with the entire Establishment. for all that time and they found NOTHING. Something to be learned there, hmm? I agree he's a narcissistic Ahole but that's not a crime. The problem is he wasn't pre-selected by the machine and threatened the Establishment. You don't get to do that or you might wind up like John F. Kennedy who also took on the CIA, etc.

Coolest time in last 10k yrs was around 1880's and warmest (warmer than today by up to 1.5C) was Medieval Warm Period. Inconvenient facts to the science deniers, aka, climate alarmists.

Then they are exposed, outside their bubble and subject to due mockery. Free expression used to be properly 'worshipped' in America prior to the Orwellian nightmare of recent yrs. LET them be on X shouting their garbage for all to see, suppression of ideas, no matter how abhorrent, should only be expected from those who fear their own notions don't stand on merit. Challenge them don't suppress them, further radicalizing them. The KKK became irrelevant long ago due to nothing more than exposure and ridicule, some law enforcement obviously. Wear a KKK symbols into any job interview and see how it goes. (Israeli reporter was raging against X free speech, X be your friend and mine young lady)

But they too seem to have been bought by the Leftist Machine.

I started out neutral on Newsom, give everyone a chance--gradually grown no loathe the SOB. He just enacted (if it passed) legislation to mute doctors who fall out of lockstep with "THE Authorities* on such as vaccine risks! We once had an active ACLU to take this sort of threat to constitutional court test....rumor has it they have been bought by the Left as well. (where were they thru all the lockdowns, vacc passports, etc., etc....) My history sucks--but has that never happened before in USA?? OPEN CENSORSHIP! Similar but worse for the DHS, that weasel in charge trying to justify their proposed Ministry of Truth ... that's more terrifying to ME then 9/11 attacks. I'd abolish the DHS unless they could show me they've prevented worse terror than they advocated, something I seriously doubt they could do. I like to flash back to the turmoil of the 1960's/70's, somehow we survived those yrs and came out better for it overall.

Our navy has 11 potent aircraft carriers that know how to get the job done with most advanced killer air machines in the sky, versus China's ONE unproven carrier. MY tax dollars keep the global oil supply chain secure, CCP in check and much more. I get that 30M population vs our 330M can't expect equal contribution but we need help. Love it when Japan, Germany, Ausies stick their neck out too. Our navy is FAR from neglected or weakened, quite the contrary. And we spend (squander?) more than the next 6 to 10 nations COMBINED most of whom are our allies not our adversaries.

Higher value greenhouse crops often use 2000ppm CO2 to greatly enhance plant productivity, 4000 is even better but not worth the extra cost of the gas. The planet is greening from anthropogenic increased CO2 and it's a marginal safety net against the worst catastrophe possible on Earth--CO2 deficit that destroys all plant life and everything else along with it sans bacteria, not just hypothetical, we've come damn close to it in recent glacial maximums seeing as low as 180ppm when mass plant extinction is expected around 150ppm.

  10531. EVERYTHING has change. This vid is a laughable bit of bullshit. 250 to 500 miles range with 30 minutes to charge an extra 70%, batt packs now below $10k and LFP types can last 3 million miles. Many haven't been to a charge station in yrs as they charge overnight at home, liberating to not have to go to petrol station.

  10533.  @p0p0ng1  Did you mean Elon got money from his estranged parents and his father who he had no contact with since a child?? That's the Communist promoted narrative which is utterly false. He came to Canada with about $5k at 16 and worked his way across the country then entered the US. Never received money from family which didn't have any to speak of, the emerald mine noise is a complete fabrication. Leftist like to pretend NO ONE is really self made so they invent and propagate such stories for anyone wildly successful, similar with Jeff Bezos tho he actually got $100k family investment in early Amazon, hardly made him a billionaire.
    1
  10534.  @p0p0ng1  False study, probably sponsored by the fossil fuel industry. A new BYD or Tesla (and few other quality brads) with LFP batts will last 1 to 3 plus million miles. Do you expect to put more miles than that on it? Hard to believe I realize but that's how fast things can change w massive competition and recourses invested. Only watched this hilariously misleading vid until they quoted "$47k batt replacement" for some obscure car no one ever heard of. Like this channel but this vid is complete crap.
    1
  10535.  @p0p0ng1  Yup, that's good. Now add up all the fuel money to drive that far, multiply that by 75% add that to all your maintenance cost X 50% and you'll get ballpark what you'd save with a good modern EV which may also last another million without major expense.
    1
  10536. You really fall for this bullshit? New versions of BWD, Tesla and others have LFP batts that last 1 to 3 plus MILLION MILES. Think YOU can out live that?? And then they will be recycled endlessly. Cobalt and nickel are not even used in better new gen cars, nickel will be used in more demanding applications like semi trucks, plenty of that and copper. You really drank the cool aid.

  10542.  @cavediver2579  Varies widely depending on where you live, but electricity cost about 1/4 as much as gasoline in general per mile. Hard to compete with 125MPGe with a 30MPG ICE.

    1
  10545. It's being done, will be profitable, batts will be endlessly recycled as high grade ore with far less energy than mining and milling. And they are NOT EXPENSIVE anymore, 5 to $10k for a modern LFP batt that lasts 1 to 3 plus MILLION MILES. Think you can last that long?? This vid is hilarious propaganda, no better than the typical Leftist bullshit.

  10597. The joke is that you'll be driving an EV in a few yrs or so, unless you drive very limited miles per yr or you have money to literally BURN.
    1
  10598.  @jds1275  Newer batteries will last 1M miles with about 25% loss of range, then be treated as high grade ore for recycling. Meanwhile maintenance will be 40% of ICE and fueling about 20%. Soon an EV will be the poor mans choice unless they only drive a couple k miles/yr in which case that '94 Civic can be run indefinitely
    1
  10599. That may be but soon you won't be able to afford to drive anything else assuming you drive over 5k miles/yr or so. In a few yrs cheaper used EVs will be the poor man's no brainer option. NO NEED for governments to interfere here, they will sell themselves just fine.
    1
  10600. That'll change before you know it, obviously tons of mass ignorance still but government meddling is redundant at best. EVs will and are selling faster than they can be built simply based on economics--125MPGe is hard to compete with.

  10608. Gas pumps don't work either when electricity dies. I fully support your right to choose but unless you have unlimited wealth, you will switch to EV before the end of decade. (exceptions for those who drive very limited miles per yr) I still prefer my old high revving BMW V8....for now.
    1
  10609. That won't age well. NO need for government meddling, EVs will and are selling as fast as they can be built (better ones at least) strictly on free market forces. 125MPGe will be too good to resist.

Raw statistics say gasoline cars burn almost 10X more often per mile, and gas fires are much worse in terms of driver/passengers getting torched. Can you name a solitary example of anyone getting burned up by a BEV fire? (a debilitating or deadly crash and then fire are the only examples I know of and they don't count in this context) We have dozens of petrol powerd cars buning up everyday in the USA.

US still the best place to revolutionize significant bit of an industry and profit on it...AMZN, Apple, social media (OK toss that one), Tesla, Nvidia... Be proud of our farmers, oil and gas producer/processors and all the supporting mfg, etc! "We" invented a way to do the impossible w shale oil extraction, a huge technical achievement.

  10632. ​ @jamesmorrow1646  The science says CO2 is doing far more to green the planet than warm it. My organic food jungle gardens thrive. History deniers often pretend data starts in 1984, the coolest time in the last 80 yrs. Take a look at the last 2.5M yrs for some actual context. Here's a few fun facts derived from the IPCC from few yrs ago: "Humans have had no detectable impact on hurricanes over the last century." (true for extreme weather events in general) "Greenland's ice sheet isn't shrinking any more rapidly today then 80 yrs ago." "The net economic impact of human induced climate change will be minimal though at least the end of this century." (big implications there) How many of us have actually read the IPCC reports? For what they are worth...they are selectively deceptively referenced by Establishment Media. CO2 not trivial but also not the driver of climate, a bit player. Easy enough to prove that much. (ask me) So why haven't you seen anything in the news about that?? Bc drama and fear sells, reality does not. (((source for above quotes: Steven E. Koonin's book; "Unsettled?" science adviser for Obama)))

  10673.  @darcyperkins7041  I was a concerned believer in the CO2 "crisis" since the late '80's, never hysterical like many have become but they haven't bothered to check ANY actual data or science. Typically it's 100% based on media clickbait drama, establishment media has NEVER understood nor given a crap about science. Even Scientific American (which I was raised on) has gone Woke and adopted the popular narrative on climate. I understand how so many have been grossly misled, I was ONE of them, propaganda works. Took me better part of a decade of occasional delving into the data and science to gradually be convinced that more CO2 is probably a good thing 280ppm, where we started is arbitrary and actually dangerously low. It is true that renewables are the new low cost leaders and can replace fossils for most surface (home, business, land transportation) but it will take time. To vilify fossil fuels is to condemn one's own life, most of us would not exist without them. But that's part of the Leftist agenda anyway, right? Depopulation??

  10682.  @shannona6989  Of course, vast majority of BEVs are newer. Just be careful of rampant propaganda which characterizes virtually every Establishment media source. I could compile a yr long vid on petrol cars burning just in last couple yrs, it would surprise nobody. Poorer quality brands like the GM Bolt had real fire issues, all were recalled. Ford just recalled all their limited collection of EV F-150s for similar reasons, tho I think only one actually burned. (was also an American petrol car, new model, recalled last yr for 'spontaneous combustion', forget which one. But that's not newsworthy.) Tesla has 4 million cars on the road and you'll struggle to find a handful that caught fire without obvious severe crash damage or maybe running over a granite rock the size of a basketball. And that's over 15 yrs on the road. Tesla is the only one who doesn't pay "news" Media Mafia protection racket, aka., advertising. So they are fair game for endless propaganda abuse and it shows.

  10717. Steph Marly I appreciate your perspective. What I have seen from them during difficult times (particularly the earthquake aftermath) have been prime examples of irresponsible citizens expecting everything to be taken care of by someone else, taking action and responsibility on their own behalf seems to be a foreign concept. It's all outrage and no proposed solutions nor productive action.

  10718. But it's OK for you to say they are worth more than $X/day?? How is that any different? I'm NOT say'n what they are worth, that's up to those who are ambitious enough to be in the position to offer then anything. They are worth what they can produce or command in a free market place, apparently that's not very much in this instance.

  10744.  @CasperChicago  I have been advocating TSLA for half a decade and expecting to hold most of my modest fortune in it for another 10 yrs. If Elon fails to get paid, pathetic, disgusting that it's even a question, IDK what to say. If he leaves so too will many if not most institutional and retailers, sadly, including me. I used to say "it's irresponsible not to own at least a little TSLA", but now with the shameful question of his deal being broken--IDK.
    1
  10745.  @CasperChicago  Elon is by FAR the best CEO in history, hyperbolic but also objectively accurate. There wouldn't be a Tesla if not for Elon and if he leaves Tesla, the stock will be cut in half or worse overnight, and while Tesla will continue to thrive it will be far less dynamic and successful over time. Elon is synonymous with Tesla, certainly for institutional investors, and smart retailers are investing in Elon first, Tesla 2nd. That TSLA has lost 40% from peak makes it a BETTER investment.

  10746. Batt tech is, China is not. They are at least smart enough to play along with the climate alarmist religion while continuing to build coal plants all the way. Absolutely self destructive and idiotic for the zero covid farce unless it's just a tool to weed out those with a scrap of self respect and resistance to tyranny.

  10747.  @unconventionalideas5683  Tesla Model 3 get's 125MPGe, that's better than petrol even on a coal fired grid and coal is temporary for most of the planet...but that's assuming coal is done responsibly which almost nothing in China is. The CCP has played along with the virtue signaling CO2/climate farce religion from the West while continuing to build coal plants all the way, that much is smart. And getting exhaust pipes out of their toxic cities via EVs also a good idea.

  10754.  @limeyB-star-D  Today it has to be a fairly tight sealed garage to commit suicide that way, this ain't the 1970's and prior when that was a very viable way to die. Catalytic converters, modern smog controls work well. But yes I welcome significantly cleaner air from BEVs, (CO the least of it) they are going to dominate simply due to economics alone, we don't need to force it. Likely that mandates actually retard the adoption rate due to proper backlash and all the BS associated with it. Virtue signaling pols can't mandate what isn't already pretty close to economic, they can't mandate everyone own a $100k car. Tesla and Chinese brands have got this, price parity with ICE is upon us. Let the market do it's job. You can make a case for subsidies of BEVs to counter massive petrol subsidies, be better to quit subsidizing fossils but weak pols do do hard, very difficult to even terminate the corn-ethanol fiasco for example.

  10758.  @LongDefiant  I could name a few things bad about totally unregulated capitalism monopolies 1st, those never serve us well nor efficiently including governments which are the worst monopolies in history. You pretend I'm presumptuous? Offering someone an opportunity to work for you, is by definition, to the benefit of the prospective employee. How can an extra choice be bad? Are you really that shitty a person to victimize an employee? I doubt it That's wacky non-thinking. I no longer employ anyone but myself either but I don't dodge responsibility for that 'failure' to be of even greater good...part of it is the punishment I get from the State of California for offering a decent job with a decent wage, the higher the wage I offer the more I'm punished. Being an employer is very stressful and difficult inherently, even without your mindset penalizing us for doing good. There was never a perfect era, this is as good as it's ever been so I'm not going to whine about much of anything. If I can't make it in the here and now there never was a chance for me in the entire Brief History of Humanity.

  10759.  @LongDefiant  For the 5th time--PLEASE tell me what you do advocate? What's your Great Society or Great Leap Backwards, or whatever. I never claimed to know what you want, do you even know? I only protest your IDIODIC demonization of the likes of Elon Musk who has done 100X more to save the planet then all the mandates and incentives from all the Ultimate Monopolies (governments) of the world combined.
    1
  10760.  @LongDefiant  One thing I do not advocate is vitriolic exchanges like this, but while you don't admit it to yourself, you advocated my enslavement to SOME DEGREE greater than I suffer today. I pay property, income, sales taxes and capital gains taxes on TOP of all that and I don't even protest. I agree we need some taxes it's debatable how and how much. I bristle at the hint of : "To each his need from each his ability." ...a recipe for hell on Earth. I don't know that you'd go that far but you haven't told me what you advocate other than something akin to extreme racism with your insanely stupid characterization of the most productive aspects and ppl in our society. Please tell me what you advocate.
    1
  10761.  @LongDefiant  Would you be triggered if I were to advocate silencing you? I can make the case that we should censor everyone like the CCP, your hero regime, No? Tune into those who have lived in under the boot of the CCP for the last decade if you don't know what that's like.

  10763.  @LongDefiant  I exchange value for value with other willing participants in the transaction. Capitalistic acts between consenting adults, I don't ASK you for permission I demand that right. There is zero force involved in my ideal and YOURS is 100% about force. Think about it. Which is just, equitable and healthy and which is sub-human? You don't have to buy my fruit and I don't have to buy yours (not that you produce anything anyway).
    1
  10764.  @LongDefiant  You should take a look at that horror story of USA slavery as it's very similar to what you advocate and certainly not remotely what we have now. SURE a few benefited at the price of the majority back then and it was WRONG, just as your version of government monopoly slavery is WRONG. What are you good at? Can you support yourself?
    1
  10765.  @LongDefiant  I didn't take it to extremes you did. You want me to be your slave bc you probably didn't do a damn thing to prepare yourself for productivity, correct? I'm not advocating anarchy or laissez faire capitalism, it's always a matter of degree. NOTHING good ever get's done without free enterprise, China was synonymous with mass starvation when I was a kid--literally. While the CCP is still evil and extremely repressive they had to allow a significant degree (as corrupted as it is) of meritocracy, aka., capitalism, in order that ppl could escape extreme poverty and it worked fantastically. Meanwhile Cuba, N. Korea, Venezuela remain hellishly poor and entirely predictably. That's your ideal, is it not? You don't "owe me the gainful use of my property" WHAT!?! WHO the HELL do you think you are to say what I may do with my life? That's like saying "I don't owe you the right to LIVE." Get it??? If you were worth a DAMN to anyone you wouldn't be advocating this crap. Get off your ass and learn some valuable skills as I have no intention of supporting your lazy life.

  10766.  @LongDefiant  No businessman has ever tried to harness you, to enslave you, he offers you what you are worth to HIM in the capacity he has available.

  10772.  @soisitimpossible  No arguing with that.

  10773.  @68Tboy  We do need more protections from nonsense like that. Licensing is typically a means of reducing competition. Going thru the contractors licensing process it's blatantly nothing but a roadblock for small upstarts. We need better protections against such anti-competitive crap and political campaign finance reform. But monopolies can form in totally unregulated environments too.
    1
  10774.  @soisitimpossible  Well said. We don't entirely fail as a nation of course but your on target for the rest. I can't imagine my job getting done by anyone without substantial direct rewards. Anyone of average health and intelligence can become wealthy in America and it's been that way for at least half a century. Not suggesting one should seek that over other pursuits but it should shut up the whiners.

  10775.  @SMGJohn  In the last 4 decades I've contracted for 'a thousand' industrial organizations and businesses of ALL sizes. Underground and surface mining, milling, chemical, logging, wood fiber, oil refinery, geo thermal, telecom, utilities, solar and wind power, railroad, pipelines, earthwork, NatGas, road construction, ski lifts, farms/ranches, construction, on and ON....and I can contrast that with government jobs--universities/schools, wildfire operations, an airport fuel system... I live in the real world which could teach an emotionally controlled, mentally frail indoctrinated punk like you plenty. Start again by asking questions instead of broadcasting your ignorance via regurgitated teachings from those who've never been outside an air conditioned office.

  10811.  @hottew_twat3963  It's more about taking driving as serious as it is. I'm sure she was plenty smart. Even a modestly dumb person CAN drive well. That does not mean a smart person automatically drives well, that requires driving discipline, realization that you could die at any moment, realizing that a close call is your last chance to change something. Some take a near miss as: "Wow I'm good I can get away with amazing stunts!" When must be taken as: "Damn that was lucky I better never get in that situation again."

Way back in the 1970's I believe there was a STP salesman who would fly around the country giving this demo: He'd drain all the oil out of his single engine plane, taxi out take off then return, land and taxi back up. I don't know if it was faked but it impressed a lot of ppl. (of course he had STP in the oil)

  10855. I don't use it even monthly usually but it's so compact, minimal mass and inexpensive it's essential for any significant toolbox. My (probably cheapos) have failed at telescoping joints in recent yrs, if not carelessly kinked at some point.
    1
  10856. Essential tools for any box--too small inexpensive and useful not to carry even tho not generally seen as essential. Mine have recently mostly failed from the cheap telescopic sections coming disjointed. (pulling apart at a junction) But I probably only ever owned cheap ones.

  10867. Kevin Bednarz I don't know the particular models you are talking about but in the first instance it's probably well under 100 hp and 30 or 40% lighter vehicle than the other which probably boasts something like 250 hp. Extra weight degrades everything about a vehicle including fuel economy, but it's what happens when you add tons of luxury features and safety equipment. If your going to be in a serious collision you want to be in the newer one, guaranteed to be FAR safer in every respect. And your not going to be happy with the performance and features of the '87.

  10868. Enter The Hunter OK. Those are valid points. No problem for you personally however, just own and operate older cars which are cheap to buy anyway. I don't buy new cars either, mainly because I like to let someone else suffer the steep first few yr.s depreciation which is by far the biggest expense of any new car, especially more expensive ones. I share some of your grievances about losing individual control and responsibility for the car. My 2011 BMW M3 doesn't even have a dipstick, one of my biggest complaints about the entire car. I love the fact that it can measure the oil level and quality automatically and display it for me but I like to SEE and FEEL the oil between my fingers....at least they put the oil filter right up there next to things like the coolant, brake and steering reservoirs, couldn't be easier to service that part. I will simply change oil far more frequently than recommended in part because I can't see it as easy as I like. The stability control is TOO intrusive also, still after all these yr.s, however I can turn it down or off and have all the fun I want, that fixes that issue. The M3 doesn't have all the other driver aids as it's a drivers car anyway, intended for engagement and fun including manual trans for me and frankly it seems bran new to me even 8 yr.s old, not missing much that I want.

  10869. Enter The Hunter You can probably find one of those '80's American econoboxes for 8 cents per pound, go for it. Hope you don't get in a fatal fender bender! They are scrap value at best with a full tank of gas, engineered to the high standards of your curbside garbage bin and handle about as nice. You may as well complain about your phone having too many computers.

  10870. Open Roader You can apply the same logic to high quality motor oils, they too should be engineered and difficult to improve on.

  10881. For what it's worth::: I apparently just killed my EGO chainsaw after many yrs. of moderate use...I was working it hard--bogging it down repeatedly but didn't think I was abusing it much. Seems the motor failed. It was the 1st EGO product that led to blower, mower and hedge trimmer which I've had few problems with.

  10882. Crucial to me is a positive shaft lock, easy to use and doesn't 'kick out' when backing a wheel off nor get rounded easily from abuse. Some shaft locks are too recessed or stiff or button too small for easy use with welding gloves, those issues frustrate the hell out of me. I have NO use for guards as they cripple utility and make wheel changes difficult, I go back and forth from wire cups, wire blades to multiple size and types of rigid wheels or cutting discs constantly, it must be tool free and quick.

  10892. We DO NOT KNOW that "30% of jobs will disappear", this same sort of prediction has been made every decade since the Luddites some 200 yr.s ago and been wrong every time. I remember reading a rant around 1990 in the newspaper lamenting the computer revolution because now bankers no longer needed to manually sum endless strings of numbers, no more type setters, etc., etc., many other mind numbing jobs becoming obsolete. Good riddance to crappy jobs! Do you suppose that op-ed writer was using a manual typewriter??

Quality, speed, high skill and integrity...big opportunities there and always have been.

  10899.  @mk3ferret  I lucked out both last time (great recession) and this shameful failure of government--happen to be surrounded by agricultural dominated landscape and I can't keep up with business, as usual. Last time 'everything changed' as my construction customers suddenly stopped but I had already been gradually swinging toward ag., this time ag related are exempt. Very few cases of the virus and zero fatalities in my county.

  10900. Why is THIS time different? We've had the same predictions for basically the same reasons at least since the Luddites 200 years ago. Instead we all got vastly richer and far superior jobs leaving the worst of the drudgery to machines. The horse became obsolete but the 'horse men' did NOT, they didn't just die they learned new trades and how to drive a car. If machines replaced jobs instead of simply re-inventing them (as they always have SO FAR) then UNemployment today would be around 99%, not 4%. One thing has never changed in my 35 years of being in business....It's still incredibly difficult to find qualified folks able and willing to do difficult jobs. Some of these jobs are replaceable by robots soon others are several orders of magnitude harder to robotize than, say driving a semi truck or assembly line work. Diesel mechanic or maintenance welder for example, very NON ROUTINE work requiring thoughtfulness and continuous creativity. (you didn't think such job descriptions were so demanding but that's only because Americans are foolishly taught to disrespect any work that gets your hands dirty) Good riddance to truck drivers and Fedex package destroying personnel!

I would love to visit briefly (not an option) but NO WAY it's going to replace Earth except for those who never leave the house anyway perhaps.

  10942. Mr. Mentour: A fantastic story of a 727 stalling at cursing alt, rolling over and diving near vertical (instantly going super sonic) over the Great Lakes, USA, and how they recovered at some 5k ft. alt. Good thing they weren't over the Rockies. Don't recall the yr but likely 1970's. Could be worth your telling with multiple airline fundamental lessons
    1
  10943. (becomes pertinent at 9:00) Airlines have become not only vastly cheaper to fly since 1980 but also incredibly safer. To state the obvious. I remember back then when the likes of Nader were predicting planes falling like rain due to deregulation. Some interesting insights here.

  10966. Jo LC I will defend both the Ford Pinto and Teslas for the same reasons--It's media hype in both cases The Pinto was not near as bad as the public was led to believe and it was fixed with a simple recall. (I did a report for an engineering class on the subject once and looked into all the details) With Tesla every single incident get's reported because EVs are new, it's just the nature of news along the lines of why every airliner crash gets endless headlines (because they are so rare and spectacular) whilst the constant car crashes and fires do NOT make the news.
    1
  10967. Romeo W Are you really that much of a fool for headlines? Tesla's represent a new design so every incident get's reported whilst the constant petrol cars burning up do not. Headlines have a relative risk reverse corolation--that is the more something get's reported the less common it is--take airlines for example, ridiculously safe so it's easy to report every single failure that ever happens anywhere on the planet where as road fatalities are a perpetual stream of carnage (pun) that rarely get mentioned.
    1
  10968. Michael Bishop You better stick to pedal power then because petrol cars burn up all the time, so often in fact it's not even news. EVs are new therefore every single incident of any type makes headlines which can be very "relative risk" misleading.

  10971. Ricky Norton What the hell is the matter with you?
    1
  10972. Ricky Norton Just a little perspective--the crime rate in the USA is about half of what it was in the mid-90's and remains today at near all time lows. It's something of a mystery as to how crime has dropped so much so fast but it does track (with a 20 year delay) the major decrease in blood lead levels....that fact has to be interesting. Correlation does not guarantee causation but it strongly suggests it, especially in this case since lead exposure has been know since the Roman Empire to decrease IQ and increase violent tendencies. Not surprisingly, there are more shootings when more guns are out there, but also a lot fewer property crimes where the public is well armed.

  10977. BarocaS2 Research crime rates.  They are near all time lows in America.  Just because a solitary airliner crash gets months of media attention doesn't mean air travel isn't the safest way to get around--it is.  Same with reporting of other dramatic events.  People wind up with a totally warped perception of relative risks based on media coverage.

  10980.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  Just something to consider, I don't care what you conclude but if you seriously think T. auto gross margins are going anywhere near 6% you should consider puts. CFO Zack Kirkhorn gave guidance for no less than 20% for 2023 (as a whole presumably, not sure about a given quarter), he's taken seriously for a reason. Elon get's over optimistic or hyperbolic but Zack is disciplined with the numbers and it'd be damn dumb to over promise.

  10982.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  6%, lol. After the auto market collapses to 10M global units per yr or nuclear war. Every non Asian brand will be losing billions by time Tesla hits 6%, most wont survive 2 yrs at that rate then Tesla will have a TAM of 50M/yr post apocalypse. $15k of FSD per car that opts for it, 100% marginal profit. There's a TON of reasons Tesla is slaughtering everyone else outside China, none of which is about to change in anyone else's favor. Even BYD, only real BEV competitor was panicking over Tesla's price cuts, they are at break even on BEVs so either sacrifice market share as they implied or lose money, tough call.

  10985.  @willtwain1383  I'm already betting on it, made a modest fortune so far and expect 10X from here well before end of decade. GM is DOOMED! (Bob Lutz words for Tesla only few yrs ago, like the guy and so does Elon, nothing personal but worth throwing back at him)
    1
  10986.  @willtwain1383  20% is terrible for Tesla and 2.5X better than average mfg. When it comes to BEVs Tesla takes nearly 100% of global profits. Legacies, with a couple exceptions, don't even have a path to BEV profits, as their ICE go to zero they are doomed. Good riddance. Only Asian brands can compete with Tesla.

  10987.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  Wish my 1-ton service truck was a Toy instead of Chevy, but they never offered that. Rather pay double than suffer problems I've had. But that's all rearview. I don't see Toy, VW, GM, BMW, any legacy auto in my future. And when autonomous driving takes over? That's ONLY Tesla foreseeably, no one else is even making a completive effort. Folks will pay up for that big time. Eventually that too will be commoditized, some time next decade after Tesla makes trillions on it and the road carnage, the millions killed and maimed, goes toward zero. A young child today won't even learn how to drive in general. Unfortunate in some respects, same as I regrettably don't know how to handle a team of horses to pull a wagon.
    1
  10988.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  I make no predictions on who merges with who else, just that legacy auto is going down in general and mergers and dramatic downsizing will be required. YES Toyota WAS the best, roughly parallel to VW in terms of volume, etc. Far better reliability but also much worse driving experience, front drive absolutely sucks for example, I'd never own a frond drive if can afford better. Not everyone cares about driving quality and reliability is crucial, boring is better than broken down or breaking the bank. Times are a changing and Toy focused on obsolete ICE including hybrids won't cut it for much longer. Be very interesting to see how it plays out but massive changes are coming before end of decade and Toy can't compete with BYD (Vinfast and many other Asian brands) let alone Tesla. Not in the BEV space which is the only space later this decade. Room for many players, Tesla likely to contribute 20M out of 100M by decade end, that's 80M up for grabs. I'm a dino--still LOVE my 'old' 2011 BMW V8 M3, (still seems brand new to ME) but it's a luxury replacement for crotch rockets of my youth, not something I'd recommend to anyone anymore than I'd recommend a high performance motorcycle. Old BMW 330 still fun too, but they are my last ICE cars no doubt, I say with some regret.
    1
  10989.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  VW should be an instructive example here--they've been hitting BEVs hard and produce some decent options, but the software sucks and car is MORE expensive than Teslas while losing money on every sale and inferior product in every way. So they rely on rapidly dying ICE segment to keep them afloat with no pathway to compete with Asian brands and Tesla and no BEV profitability in sight. Same with all Western brands. Ford is doing a great job from a late start, electric pickup is very good as long as you don't leave town, the only charging network that WORKS is Tesla's. And don't think of towing a trailer for more than 100 miles, it can't do it. I expect Ford to survive the decade in greatly diminished size, GM and Toy probably merged after bankrupt or whatever. Most charge at home overnight almost all the time, another benefit as never needing to visit a gas station, but road trips are out of the question unless you use Tesla Superchargers which are increasingly being opened to other brands smart enough to adapt to them. (see Sandy Munro Live about that) Spending 10's of billions doesn't do the trick when you are up against lean mean experienced upstarts with long term contracts for materials, batteries, and know software.
    1
  10990.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  Drowning in debt, and still investing in obsolete hybrids and foolish hydrogen. BEVs Co.s are going to bury Toy before they can get with the program. But it's cool, fortunately THEY did the same to GM in 1980's when we really needed them. Now they can sink with GM.

Big trees are protection if the land is managed properly and burned off regularly, it's the brush that's the big problem, big trees reduce the rate of brush growth. The clear cut area in the path of the fire on the way to Paradise was part of the problem, it raced thru that like crazy. Are we going to change our ways in time? Can anyone get fire insurance up there anymore? I guess I mentioned... but I'd only build if I thought a home was going to be virtually fire proof. Asphalt shingles sure don't cut it as I believe I've seen on a few examples rebuilt up there. Anyway, best wishes to ya.

  11046.  G Sterling  Tesla has a MASSIVE competitive advantage in every way and it's growing. Have you bothered to compare the "competition"? It's laughable and already prudent folks are trading in their Hondas and Toyotas for Teslas as they are cheaper to operate over the medium term, and that's without credits which have run out in the USA. By your metrics AMZN is worthless. Now that the major MFGs are desperate and scaling back investments the Tesla gap is accelerating. Do you think GM or F will ever offer a dividend again before consolidations or severe downsizing or yet more bankruptcies? I don't, they are screwed.

  11047.  G Sterling  Wrong about renewables too. Price is truth and it's now very compelling, if your input numbers were remotely accurate there wouldn't be a market PV or wind turbines. That 64% was recently 80% and will go to zero.

  11074.  @MathLilly  "Did you learn from your success with Tesla how to pick stocks in the future?" Glad you asked, induced me to try to answer it for myself but I'm going to have to narrow down the directions that simple question could take--really a vast answer hence delayed response. Let me work on a "concise" ans....... Do I plan for repeated outperformance?....NOT like that, it was a once/thrice moment of a life time where opportunity met preparation that I'd have been reckless not to bet on and tho I'm confident the quickest gains are in the rear view mirror I'd buy it here and now (naturally since I'm holding), it's just getting started as a company. I certainly do expect to outperform the S&P but I also expect this is the decade Index Funds die, get slaughtered, 'half' their holdings are going to be disrupted, banking to fossil fuels and all that implies from pipelines to supporting industries (will take longer than a decade but everyone will see it by 2030), railroads, all surface transportation and most of related businesses, auto insurance..Geiko is done for...on and on. Half of Berkshire Hathaway holdings are under severe threat in fact.

  11075.  @MathLilly  Nothing to be proud of but odds are I know 100X more about Elon and Tesla than you do, it's a Blue Chip for me even if it's a speculative play for you. Sounds like you have an entirely viable strategy tho, let's compare notes in a few yrs. :D

  11076.  @MathLilly  You would have said the exact same precautionary tail about Amazon or Apple 15 yrs ago, but they sure as hell should have been a "core holding". Right?

  11077.  @MathLilly  I've been "in it" for a decade if only invested less than 2 yrs and I'm looking forward 5 to 10. I appreciate your diversification mantra, but "know what you own" conflicts with that. Many of the wealthiest ppl on Earth were completely concentrated: Gates, Jobs, Bezos, Musk...zero diversification. (obviously not to compare us mortals to them but the principle is the same) I think the DOW and S&P 500 are vastly more risky than TSLA from now to 2030, those indexes will be crushed by the disruptions coming...fossil fuels becoming obsolete, pipelines, oil production services, legacy auto, auto insurance, banking, even railroads and grid utilities upended. Yet we continue to advise folks to simply sit in Index Funds. I maintain a massive TSLA long and still have about as much for other stocks as I had before. Make sense?

  11079.  @MathLilly  It's very hard for ppl to get their head around the fact that deciding to HOLD long today is exactly the same decision as buying TODAY. Only emotions get in the way of understanding that and emotions are the #1 enemy of investing. We don't care where it's been only where it's going. That said--yes it's easier bc we all have to deal with emotions to some extent. BTW--It wasn't the fast easy money that one might expect, I followed the situation with increasing intensity for about a decade before gaining conviction and it's never easy putting your hard earned money at risk in a crashing stock (at the time, I started after a convincing bounce just off the lowest in about 5 yr.s @ $38).

If we all primarily focus on advancing our own lives we'll be OK, or at least our best shot at it. Never been a perfect time and place to live but this is about as close as it gets....certainly better than the 1960's thru '80's for a little perspective.

  11083.  @youmadbro951  Why not the Potato Standard? There is nothing magical about gold the money supply should be attached to GDP not any one random commodity.

  11095.  @gabrielangelo2329  I know that the desire to pay later is a losers impulse. If you can't pay cash for it twice you can't afford it. But then financial independence is crucial to me where others don't seem to mind perpetual hand to mouth poverty.

  11100.  @warrengraham7461  Crazy in hindsight at least, always easy in the rearview. I didn't back up the truck until May 2019, then quadrupled down in next few months. How about you? Yes I had to see successful mass production 1st.
    1
  11101.  @waynesnelling8259  That's called discipline, they've seen peaks met with euphoric excess production growth enough times. Sustained $100 plus along with high NatGas prices will drive more production.

He's going to terminate the Woke Mob at Twitter which means a total overhaul top to bottom, they are a pack of sniveling snowflakes who think it's fine to control the dialog, to censor and cancel anyone with views divergent from their own narrow minds. Bet they won't dare cancel Elon NOW tho.

  11113. Your listening skills are as childishly lacking. Try again.

  11114.  @TheM0joDoj0  Nonsense. The dollar is based on GDP and the market is based on a host of forward looking factors. You really think YOU are smarter than the markets? I don't. I'm old enough to remember the 1960's' '70's when serious crime was 2 to 3X higher. Air and water pollution was horrible, our rivers caught on fire. Race riots were burning our cities and a war against the Vietnam War was raging stateside. We had inflation up to 18%, persistent recessions and everyone was far poorer than today.

  11115.  @careyjernigan134  I have a real education but only a little of that came from a few exceptional high school teachers that were shunned as too difficult by most kids. And I didn't go for "easy" in college as that's pointless--I studied math, chemistry, physics and how to apply it all (aka., engineering) which is useful and potentially fairly lucrative.

  11127.  @cantbeatthebay4765  You are probably right, Tesla needs to secure other raw materials, mainly Ni and Li. Lithium is everywhere but it can take some 7 yrs to ramp production which is going to be a problem. I love that MP is putting a significant little dent in global dependence on Chinese near monopoly on these crucial elements. I haven't done the DD to know if it's a decent investment. It'd be a lot better if located in Nevada just across the border but you can't choose where an orebody is. I don't like government involvement in general but these should be seen as strategic elements every bit as important as oil used to be and the playing field is warped by extreme different environmental protections. We are exporting the pollution instead of cleaning it up. Here in Cali they will have expensive controls, that's why the site was closed previously. (not to suggest that NV would be that much different compared to China)

  11128. Obviously. Trading is tough for pros, you don't need to compete with them. Do your homework, know what you own and why so you don't get blown out in a dip. If you don't have well founded conviction you'll be a victim of emotions.

I guess everyone projects their own tendencies on others but sniveling Dan's take on "brand erosion" completely misses 'the other half' who love what Elon is doing and considering a Tesla for the 1st time.

    1
  11151.  @waitlistdweller  1:03 "'...I got tired of getting beaten up like that I don't own any of this stuff anymore....'" 1:18 ....multiples are going to continue to compress... 1:30 .....sector turned into toxic waste.... I could carry on but that should be enough. NO OFFENSE but you seem to have severe comprehension issues as tho you can only hear what you are expecting to hear Edit: 2:10 "personally I don't have a problem owning hydrocarbons" I know him pretty well and here he means that he doesn't have a MORAL problem with it, that is NOT an investment thesis needless to say which he already stated will be a disaster in the medium term.
    1
  11152.  @waitlistdweller  He said there was going to be MUCH MORE multiple contraction and he wouldn't touch the sector for XYZ reasons. SHEESH. How hard is this? It doesn't matter that he has no moral qualms about owning fossils, neither do I but I've avoided them for MANY yrs and for some of the same reasons. GET IT???

  11156. It's been evil for yrs including banning a sitting president for bogus reasons. They participated in covering up the Hunter Biden scandal. Clearly they fear and block any non-Woke dialog, they are completely toxic organization top to bottom, this is not new. Anything Leftist is permitted anything slightly off Left is banned, they are anti-science, anti-freedom anti-reason. Like most social media and mainstream propaganda they have done enormous damage to America and democracy in general with no end in sight.

  11173.  @ANIL-oi5bn  One thing to keep in mind--the more folks talking about a bubble the LESS LIKELY it is to be one. Understand why? In any event I've been hearing that endlessly since the DotBomb and once in a while it proves to be true, at least in a limited sector or group. If that kept you out of the markets for the last 20 yr.s it's cost you a FORTUNE.
    1
  11174.  @ANIL-oi5bn  I'm talking about his entire history. He was right to warn early this yr. to take the pandemic seriously and that the markets were not, helped me get out early, I've done fantastic. He's been right about ETSY, SHOP, plus a host of other names some that have 5 to 10X gained in recent months/yr.s.... AAPL forever, AMZN, NFLX, and the rest of the FANGs, his creation back in the day. He's been right about TSLA for almost a yr. He can be very useful, usually insightful always intelligent if sometimes goofy. That doesn't mean you can afford to simply hear a ticker symbol and pull the trigger, it means there might be a good idea to be considered. Lazy folks get in trouble bc they don't do their own work. SURE he's wrong a lot, anyone who makes a dozen market prognostications every day will be. THINK for YOURSELF and good luck! :D

  11185. It's as easy to see how it could go to $40 as it is to $1000. Just because you think you can "see" a path toward great success sure doesn't mean it's a sure thing.

  11215.  @criSOME1  Look very carefully at the initiation of the twin tower's collapse, zoomed in right at impact zone, the floors engulfed in fire, you can SEE the first series of columns failing exactly as should be expected if you understand anything about structural engineering which few ppl do. Even if knowing nothing it's clear where it began to collapse and aproximately why. They did NOT fail at the bottom until everything came crashing down from above. The twins never had a chance, it was impressive they stood as long as they did as any expert in such structures agrees...they were designed to withstand an impact with about 1/60th the energy and subsequent fire was not part of the calculation as apparently they didn't consider the auto fire suppression system main pipes being severed at the same time. Why would there be anything done to weaken the base when that was ridiculously unnecessary? There is no stopping it once it starts from the top anyway.
    1
  11216.  @criSOME1  You have to be especially faulty at reality checking yourself to not know it was an airliner when over 100 eye witnesses saw it on final, many identified the airliner brand and a couple noted exact model.

Not all of us took a shot in the dark, quite the contrary--we studied it intensely for yrs.

  11233.  @TheM0joDoj0  It took me about a decade to get my head around Tesla and TSLA and then proof of mass production capability before I backed up the truck in mid 2019. A lot of work required to understand the potential, no doubt it won't 10X again in 18 months but it probably will before 2030.

  11234.  @TheM0joDoj0  FOMO much? Naturally Tesla has nothing to do with H but don't fret over the fact you have missed out on becoming a "Teslanair" like so many of us have--it still has a long runway ahead but you can't own it until you understand/believe in the story or you will simply be blown out in a dip.

  11252.  @jonathanandrew2909  Good example: I had followed Tesla for a decade before deciding to invest in it only 18 months ago, I waited until it was below $200 and the bear cases became shrill, hysterical...then bet hard against them and never thought about trimming on down months because I believed my thesis was intact, until that changes I'll stick with it. Needless to say it's been a fantastic winner.
    1
  11253.  @jonathanandrew2909  Never goes anywhere in a straight line. Best not to be too caught up in the short term, KNOW what you own and WHY so you have the conviction necessary to overrule emotional tendencies which we are ALL prone to, much to the detriment of our financial well being.

I'm totally numb to irrelivant price action bc I understand ultimately price is truth. So focus on determining the TRUTH and ignore day to day, month to month fluctuations in price. Utterly meaningless to the thesis.

Only NeoMarxist fool tools (the far Left) are outside THAT broad a definition. Ppl will seriously consider buying a Tesla when shopping for a car or they are living in exceptional circumstances or just ignorant. Granted such ignorance is common, not an insult, they'll learn in time. Value and economics rules.
    1
  11264. Are you saying "magas" are poor? Most Tesla customers simply want the best car and value they can afford, that's Model 3 & Y, best ownership and driving experience in price range w 1/4 to 1/3 "fueling" cost of an obsolete Camry.

    1
  11270. Supernova Exactly HOW is Elon going to profit from TSLA if it goes to zero? This is your chance for a teaching moment. Other than selling long before such a crash essentially all of his 20% stake which would itself crash the price if he does it quickly and obviously would also crash the price as the result of it being know that he was selling out. Quite a stunt for him to profit while TSLA fails. No? (aka. Impossible, at least going from where he stands now on it)
    1
  11271. Supernova There is a difference between the product and ANY OTHER aspect of a company and the stock. Folks listening to your brilliance would have missed out on massive gains in NFLX and AMZN and many others because you and your methods are too simple to capture the entire picture. That should give you pause and humility but apparently not. (right from post one and consistently since I HAVE NEVER SAID BUY TSLA, never even suggested that, why is it so hard for you to grasp the difference between confronting a bogus claim of fraud and "buy Buy BUY!" ?? Is that really too nuanced for you?)
    1
  11272. Supernova Just curious--How much is AMZN worth based on your superior metrics, 10 or $100? How about NFLX which has gained longer term investors around 1000% in five yr.s?....maybe $0?? Equities valuation is not all about current, recent or even foreseeable profits, many other factors are involved. Ultimately price is truth, I don't know if TSLA is worth $40 or $4000 five/ten yr.s from now, there is a good case for either scenario but it sure ain't an Enron which was pure fraud, that's simply an ignorant statement.
    1
  11273. Supernova I pointed out both negative and positives of a Tesla product you simpleton. And don't give me this "I'm not in the biz of shorting..." Bullshit. I called you out on your false confidence and I stick to it as you have nothing to back it up. If you did you'd short it to the hilt no matter what business you are in. Put your OWN MONEY ON IT or shut up about it being another Enron!
    1
  11274. Supernova So you don't have the conviction that you claimed to have initially. Just cheap talk as I suspected. Chanos is one of many on both sides of the trade worth listening to but I don't think even he is comparing it to Enron with a straight face...anyway he's right sometimes and wrong others. I don't give a damn about your degree BTW, I respond to reason and evidence. Amazon also (pardon the typical compare but it's relevant, Steve Jobs and AAPL are also good references for TSLA and Elon) didn't make money for almost 2 decades and it and it's stock are thriving, if that's all ya got then you better stay away from individual stocks entirely and avoid opining on them...same goes for a company X prospects. The tech and product MATTER. Tesla Model 3 has some serious build/structural/manufacturing flaws but it's batt tech and electronics are vastly ahead of the entire world according to Muro (sp?) who tore it apart with expert precision and background in automotive. And the 3 may have an unheard of 30% profit margin, think about that. The 3 did not simply leverage S/X batt tech but instead advanced it substantially including some 30% higher energy density. Batteries are what limit EVs, get the weight and price down and the energy density/longevity/recharge speed UP and you win. I love my BMW ICE cars but EVs are clearly the way of the future, Tesla showed us that. My maintenance is expensive and complex, an EV has next to none of that, my fill up will be $40 to a Tesla $6.
    1
  11275. Matthew ferrari Care to back up the subsidy claim with some numbers? Nope, I didn't think so, you are talking out your ass. Tesla had some substantial subsidies for limited number of vehicles, it's already running out, but NOTHING compared to the trillions (yes TRILLIONS) we have subsidized petroleum... it's not even close to leveling the playing field.

I didn't have any problems paying off my modest place. Similar situation this time around, who the hell can't go without income for a few months and still pay their bills?? Yet I know a guy nearly 60 still living hand to mouth and required MY TAX MONEY to pay his damn mortgage....insanely financially reckless defines a majority of Americans today.

I sure would've. Regardless, parabolic moves almost always quickly retrace most of such moves when there is no news to justify it and there isn't this time, right? I don't know if it's has a bright future, could be, that doesn't mean fundamentals don't matter. Good luck with it, the more retailers like us involved in markets the better.

There are always two sides to every trade , I can make the bull case better than I can the bear case, but that's just me. :D Not my concern what you do tho I'd prefer you and everyone would flourish! If you don't believe in it for SOLID REASONS you can't own it, it's wrong for You, as TSLA was wrong for me too until 2018. Maybe by 2025 you will get it. :D :D

Later when, say TSLA is back to $1k plus, the same newbies will flock back in at new highs only to get blown out again in the next sell off, traders profit from the nonsense while investors add more when it's on sale.

  11360.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  Broader theme here: Many things I'm happy I've done that I would recommend to exactly NO ONE ELSE. Rode a bicycle from Central Cali to Alaska and back at 16, great for ME but not for everyone. Rode high performance motorcycles hard daily for 15 yrs, own a BMW M3 and love it--also have recommended the latter 2 things to precisely NOBODY else. You can guess why. Got engineering degree late but debt free, started tiny welding contracting biz at 20--those two things I'd recommend to some ppl so inclined....certainly not everyone. Recommend anyone get into stocks but not necessarily the way I have, most should probably stick to index funds or BRK or Vanguard....for ME I believe I can do better and have so far. One size doesn't fit all. Anyway we all own our choices and results, regardless of who may have influenced us.

  11361.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  I'm am NOT attempting to be anyone else , WTF are you on about? I'm fairly well thriving, financially independent, aka., "everyday millionaire", nothing to be overly proud of but a worthy goal. Like I said--YOU DO YOU, not my concern, simply outlining MY ways. Your emotional reactions don't bode well for your prospects but I wish you and everyone else WELL.
    1
  11362.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  I know you didn't say that. You do you but I have entire categories to avoid entirely and that's one of them. I don't need to be involved in everything, I've sort of adopted the Peter Lynch philosophy which is to concentrate in what I really know and have conviction in. Works for many and for me so far Similarly I haven't messed with crypto currencies, not necessarily against it but I have no idea how to value such, zero basis for any conviction, so for ME it's best to take a pass. Without solid conviction emotions are likely to take control at the worst time, when said investment takes a dive, or FOMO on momentum up, emotional reactions are a primary reason ppl get hurt in markets.
    1
  11363.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  Also I don't think the long term growth in China is as good as ppl generally assume, they have some severe problems coming down the pike and the CCP will do anything to stay in power. I wish the ppl well.
    1
  11364.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  Suit yourself but there's endless quality options outside China. I'm a bit nervous about Tesla which I have modest fortune in, that's more than enough exposure to the evil CCP for me...beyond that which I can't control.
    1
  11365.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  Maybe a bit arcane but worth considering before investing in Chinese socks (trading, aka., gambling is a little different), this is part of what I was talking about: https://youtu.be/dpTeVeqtufQ?t=83
    1
  11366.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  Has nothing to do with growth, it's about legal structure which is nonexistent. You don't really "own" anything with Chinese stocks, you have exactly zero rights to anything in China, you don't own real estate, just a long term lease that may be revoked, nor even your 'own' life. Making things even worse is the structure of the market itself for us in the West, for China stocks, it's extremely sketchy. Look into it. For ME owning TSLA is more than enough exposure to Chinese random insanity and injustice, in that instance the worst they can do is nationalize or shutdown Tesla locally, it won't destroy the company nor my stock, just a significant minority chunk of it. Beyond this decade Tesla will likely not be much involved in China anymore for a handful of reasons, they still get ROI after only a yr or so of new investment there.

  11367.  @braceyourselvesfortruth2492  Utterly irrelevant. You can trade anything but that's generally a losers game outside the professionals, difficult to invest in China stocks. There is no justice system there, any one or entity may be Jack Ma-ed at anytime, and so on.

  11369.  @angrybrit7331  Have you looked into the economics? On the order of 2 to 4X more than fossil fuels (depending on where you are) while BEVs are about to be the most economical option ever. I don't believe it will ever be more than a very small niche market UNLESS low pressure high density, inexpensive storage options become viable and I've read about them since the 1980's.

  11370. It peaked around $1200 some 20 yrs ago, you can trade anything but I don't believe in the H thesis so it's not for me.

  11371.  @Vkob  Maybe you don't understand--you've heard "be fearful when others are euphoric be bullish when others are fearful". If 'half' market participants have dire expectations for the short term then they've acted accordingly, already trimmed or sold completely, it's already largely priced in therefore more upside is likely. When everyone thinks it's all rosey going forward THEN you need to be concerned. Get it? I didn't realize it's that hard to comprehend.

  11380.  @izakkanter452  Yes BUT you can strip it of key features everyone wants that take it up sharply. Do you know of anyone who bought a 3 for less than say $45k? The FSD option alone is some 5 to $7k I believe.
    1
  11381. But also the $35k Model 3 was more hypothetical than actual, most paid closer to $50k after options.
    1
  11382.  @ogzombieblunt4626  OK, but that's not my point--near zero commitment for preorders means the numbers don't count for much, any child can likely qualify. Requiring a grand or more would be far more meaningful and they can always use more interest free funds. Serious buyers won't hesitate for a grand or so but posers will be weeded out.
    1
  11383. It concerns me a little that they had such a low bar for reservations, why not at least $1k?

  11385.  @andrewpaulhart  I made that exact case above. It's definitely NOT for British or Euro roads, that size is normal for American roads and mainly for that market. I don't want to drive something that big either unless I happen to need it and I don't.
    1
  11386.  @patrickn578  Sure. Just not significant to Tesla when the US market is near 3M PUs per yr., already 150k preorders, they won't come close to satisfying demand for yr.s in USA alone. Unless you are considering the marketing aspects of having such an obvious, if rare, vehicle out there that get's folks asking questions. (notice it didn't even have a single badge on the outside, I like that, the SS and shape already broadcasts what it is) Seriously I'm almost considering buying one, I don't need one and I don't even like driving trucks unless I have to, and I have to drive clumsy 1-ton daily, it's NO FUN.
    1
  11387.  goodfella21f  Not much of one. I'm a small TSLA stockholder and I sure wouldn't put my money on that scenario. One of the reasons the 3 is doing so well in Euro is because it's reasonably sized, S is way to big for most of their roads, yes it's luxury priced as well. The US market is plenty big enough for the Tesla truck, the roads too.
    1
  11388.  goodfella21f  Good point but those are still smaller AND they are not pickups, they are ppl haulers. BMW and the rest would serve a pickup market if it existed in Europe.

You missed everything I mentioned, you are still stuck in the loser trader mentality "thinking" without thought that you can get rich quick and easy. Not gonna happen Sport. I'm modestly wealthy from the market YOU obviously are NOT. Go ahead and pretend superiority and stay poor, OR try to understand and learn. That you got nothing out of my words tells it all. Good LUCK! Seriously--wish all success in the markets as it benefits all of us.
    1
  11394.  @KP-by4eu  It's normal for most of us to fart around in our 20's, some of us lose so badly in market that we're permanently discouraged concluding: "It's a casino!" ...granted it is if you treat it that way. Many of us learn without getting wiped out and do fine in later decades. The exceptions::: Had you taken to heart Jim Cramer's rants in 2007 warning of the pending crash and THEN somehow known to believe Mark Haines when he called the bottom?--you'd have profited wildly. So easy in hindsight so damn hard at the time. Very many did well just ignoring it all, not reacting to any of it. Very few timed it right. Or in Jan 2020 when Cramer was warning that market wasn't pricing in Covid, I listened and sold into the early part of decline but only my low conviction 20% of portfolio and not as early as I should have, and then missed the bottom but gained slightly overall, just slightly as I had little confidence in the later 2020 rally. What I did WELL in was my high conviction name which I never sold but only added a little lower, after it dropped by 60% and started to rebound...again...I didn't time it so well just reinforced my fave name a little lower. That's the way it goes even for the pros.
    1
  11395.  @KP-by4eu  Right, I rarely watch this racket anymore, it's a side show. YES it is also NOISE, as I said, a few yrs is gambling not investing. I'm already well off and having a few decades plus of market experience I know better than to trade which the vast majority of retailers lose doing. Study the heck out of just a few companies such that you have the hard won CONVICTION to ride out the downturns and prosper over a decade or several. It's never easy but most prosper that way.
    1
  11396.  @KP-by4eu  Take all those hurt (still talked about) in 2008/9 crash. Why were the hurt? Only because the reacted emotionally selling into the panic and then afraid (emotions again) to get back in right away. By NOW they'd all have been 4 or 5X ahead even as passive investors with minimal time and effort 'invested'. So if you think you can out-time, out smart the market? Go ahead, I know better.
    1
  11397.  @KP-by4eu  A few yrs is NOISE, if you don't understand that you are a gambler not an investor, that's OK as long as you understand the difference.
    1
  11398.  @KP-by4eu  You still don't get it, reacting to noise is naïve and counterproductive. The only exceptions are adjustments you were going to make anyway as part of a many yrs strategy, it might slightly alter timing that's all, not altering plans to fit daily news which will flipflop faster than you can. Tune into Peter Lynch for some entertaining perspective.

  11399.  @KP-by4eu  Know what you own and why and ignore the daily noise. These channels would be obsolete if not for advocating trading which is for pros and loser retailers.

  11401.  @id10t98  How well have you done in the markets recently? I've done fantastic, if you haven't maybe it's time to listen instead of scream about ancient history. But if it's history you care about listen to the loudest warning of the pending collapse in 2007 if you capable of understanding it. It's vastly more significant then the Bear debacle. Just because a clever comedian with zero value to add (to me anyway) made a certain episode heard by everyone doesn't make it definitive of a man. Almost no one should be defined by their best or worst week of their lives but instead by the entire record.

    1
  11405.  @id10t98  Your loss if your that simple, every one knows that story and it's relatively trivial, granted it was his worst moment but he didn't want to contribute to the collapse of Bear and if you'd known him you'd realized that at the time. Did you notice the litany of great calls he's made before and since? Many just in the last few yr.s would have gained you 5 to 10X. He helped me cash out in Feb. this yr. as he beat the drum that the market wasn't taking the pandemic seriously enough. I'm up about 3.5X over just the last yr., how about You? I knew an old guy of modest means who had $145k on WAMU which Cramer emphasized was in deep trouble in 2007 as an example of the entire sector and the market in general. It was the 1st of it's kind to fail. My old friend rode it down to zero in part because he was TOO COOL to tune into a clown like Cramer.
    1
  11406.  @id10t98  Wrong, it was one or two wks in 2009, but anyway broaden your perspective, Cramer was most heavily panned for calling the banking led collapse in 2007, long in advance, then again in 2008 which are vastly more important than the Bear debacle which he expressed without convincing style. Then dozens of specific great calls.

  11408.  vincentrich - Banned But Not Forgotten  You talking to ME?? I earned it the hard way and they can too. I'm not in debt to anyone's needs and I already subsidize the poor.

I'm fundamentally free trade and getting along, compromising with ALL other nations but you can't ignore an aggressive tyrannical regeme bent on world domination.

  11490.  @KungPowEnterFist  OK cool beans. I quit trading in 2018 after it was largely de-risked to back up the truck beginning May/June 2019, let it ride since. That was an exceptional entry for it's time and it took me that many yrs to gain conviction. Fundamentals: I can better make the case that it's worth 1 or $2k right now than $300 say. Just a matter of assumptions one factors in. Not interested in convincing anyone else nor foolish enough to think I could or that I'll time the market consistently just because I got it right a few times...tho I considered selling fave car for token extra $45k to TSLA last December, thought that price was hilariously low. Car will cost me big time but gotta live a little in the present. Done far better just owning it, I don't get euphoric up 40 or $80k in a day nor depressed down the same, just noise.

  11491.  @KungPowEnterFist  Initial comment was intended to be marginally 'helpful'.

Great long term results for the most part, a good legacy. Why now disregard the pleadings of Dr. King? But also associated with prior major wave of Communist advocacy, evil but it died on the vine--some of the most hard core Capitalists you'll ever meet are old Hippies. :D Obviously: like us individuals, movements are not equal but judged on their merits, their character as King would say. Popular does not equate to good, it's why we have a Constitution.

  11532. ​ @smoochie3331  (pardon caring on, sheesh) Disregarding Martin Luther King's primary objective is progress?? Racial/sexual/political bigotry, censorship and exclusion is PROGRESS? Please tell me what I'm missing. Seriously. Hard to find an attribute of Hitler's reign with significant positive results, beyond making sure it's never repeated. Not exactly comparing the two YET, point being many popular movements have evil results no matter "good intentions" or expectations. 1930s Germans weren't generally genocidal yet that was the result. "We" had a saying late 1960's, '70's..."Question Authority", still true, think of it as a mandate (HA!) and it originated from Left, yet today be consistently censored, canceled, blocked, by the Left (inc most MNM, social media platforms, college campuses) for challenging the government/media propaganda flavor of the day, ironic? Can that allow for a sustainable democracy? I don't see how. Only upside is the massive backlash I perceive (could be just my own bubble) lifelong 'Centrist' w Liberty/individual responsibility principles (aka. Libertarian leaning, never Dem nor Republican, but donkeys make better pets, lol) NOW simply anti-Leftist after witnessing the authoritarian desires or acceptance by half my countrymen in last 2 yrs in addition to the rest I'm alarmed by. Resist, noncompliance...more I always respected from the '60's.

  11544.  @josefadams647  I think you are making an important general point but Index Funds are going to vastly under perform this decade. Roughly half their 'portfolios' are in declining or losing businesses--fossil fuels, legacy auto, traditional banking, all sorts oil and auto related industries including insurance, even rail roads may become obsolete by the end of the decade. So ETFs must be the general solution not indexing. But it's also probable that one may learn how to do it right before they get wiped out, I did.

Since they don't even claim to have a product to market before around 2024 or 25 I see little reason to be involved UNLESS, until they demonstrate a viable product and convince me it can be mass produced economically. I see no reason to expect such.
    1
  11554.  @anxiousappliance  It deserves to be a declining in value stock for at least 4 yrs, after THAT we'll see. Most likely another dead end, speculation is OK when there's good reason for it, QS doesn't come close with nothing to show so far. There are 100's of solid state experimenting outfits and that's a good thing but producing a cost effective product may never happen, nor need it to advance batts.

  11555.  @mylesgray3470  I looked into it upon IPO and the market cap was already ridiculous for a co. with nothing to demonstrate and 1st production claimed to be in about 4 yrs. By then I expect it to be maybe $4 to $6/share and I may reconsider. I could be wrong and that's fine, I miss some, but Bill Gates doesn't impress me in this space, reportedly he even shorted TSLA some yrs ago....dunno if that's true but he didn't seem to deny it. I never expected they were a "scam" per se, but the CEO had some questionable history (forget the details by now) and certainly failed to impress me. Every name that's riding on the coattails of TSLA deserves extra caution for the time being, it's a mini DotBomb situation.

  11568.  @rickagfoster  Twitter 1.0 systematically banned anyone slightly askew to the one true Woke narrative. Democracies cannot work like that, there must be a place for all parties to challenge and be challenged. And the only antidote to extremism is engagement, marginalizing and censoring only pushes them further down the rabbit hole. Censoring results in the unscientific Authoritarianism that has wrought so much destruction across the globe in recent yrs. There were plenty of voices, doctors to ordinary skeptics pointing out the futility of shutdowns, that masks don't work for viruses (not the way we did it anyway) questioning the vaccine mandates and pointless school shutdowns. ALL WERE SCILENCED and they were correct! Our grandchildren will be paying the bills for idiotic pointless policies in the best case, even if we dodge becoming the USSA tyrannical nightmare.
    1
  11569.  @rickagfoster  He bought Twitter to save America from ourselves. Tesla cannot thrive if it can even exist in the Banana Republic we have become. Silos, echo chambers and censorship are the road to tyranny. Have you not noticed the astounding corruption from the Establishment in general, FBI, DHS and the rest? FBI paying ALL social media, manipulating the masses and controlling elections?! WTF does it take for you to tune into reality? The Twitter Files are probably the most important revelations in the brief history of the republic.

    1
  11571.  @nickgee7291  I understand that. Elon is big believer in everyone having as much skin in the game as possible. He told Lex Friedman he'd have to invest his entire life savings into Twitter if he was to hypothetically run it for a while, just as Elon has done with SpaceX and Tesla. (Lex offered to be CEO for free but I think Elon is still looking)

  11576.  @antfbi  Overall tax for top 1% is generally over 50%. The wages you are referring to are for kids, starter jobs. Yes they are more productive and vastly better off then 40 yrs ago. Relatively quick and easy today to take in 6 figures, endless demand in most trades. It was actually hard back then. You probably can't even imagine. NO ONE walked around with a camera let alone a video camcorder or internet connection. There was no internet. You had to go to the library (remember what those were for?) for anything and take what they had. Today even 'poor' ppl take for granted their pocket super computer as an entitlement.

  11580.  @ra5928  As for taxes I'd like to see many loop holes closed, maybe some other adjustments or a consumption tax but taxing unrealized gains is insane be it your home appreciating or stocks, ranch, classic car or whatever. And it won't stay only with the top 700 wealthiest, it will trickle down to ALL of us eventually, always does. The 1st focus if it were up to me would be slashing waste in host of ways instead of tossing yet more into the black hole of government. Everything from military procurement that rewards overruns to excess bureaucracy where the money is as often used against us as in our interest.

At SOME POINT you have to dig a little deeper and you might realize "witch hunt" and "fake news" really are appropriately labeled as such. I apposed T. all the way and never thought I'd second guess that in 1000 yrs....HOWEVER when Dorsey get's caught censoring damning evidence on Hunter Biden right before the election, on and on.....clearly Big Tech is arrayed against the Right. (never personally identified as Left or Right but recently simply became anti-Left , still not Right)

First off that's presumptuous bc life is difficult for everyone, you don't know if that person you envy is contemplating suicide everyday. (Robin Williams and many other examples) 2nd, easy isn't even good, I'm very grateful I didn't inherit any of my wealthy grandfather's money in my youth, it would have destroyed my incentive to struggle, pinch dimes and make it on my own...the only place real self respect, competence and confidence comes from. Finally, if you are fixated on others in a negative way (fine to admire, strive and learn from them) you undermine your own purpose if not guarantee failure.

C-suite, wt. collar or blue, I never saw those things as adding value to society, aka., the enterprise. They only attempted to fake it and coerce it, add another toxic layer of friction. NO VALUE ADDED. I don't need your Daddy to take care of me, esp. at the price of my economic freedom. I rely on trading value for value, my customers and I. I'm compensated based on mutual agreement no damn "association" to hold my hand and pick my pocket. LOVE IT that way. Meritocracy Dude. Get that or fail. :D

  11601.  @shawn8847  Why do you even care? It has nothing to do with your life except infantile envy, you don't know they are even happy, unearned wealth is not satisfying. And of course you are wrong about the "richest family". Not even a nice try. Musk family is vastly wealthier and he earned every goddamned penny. You are still fixated on "one man's gain is another's loss", laughably stupid. OR you think equality of wealth matters, it just DOESN'T, absolute wealth is all you should care about. But instead you'd be pleased to have universal poverty which is, of course, the end result of your childish emotional sniveling advocacy.

  11603.  @shawn8847  BTW: I don't want to be pointlessly offensive and not easy to offend. Naturally potent ideas evoke strong emotions but to disagree honestly does not equate to disrespect automatically. Half my family happened to be vacationing in USSR in (turned out to be) it's last days. Russians had a saying: "We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us." How else could it be? Universal poverty except for those at the top and even they were poor by middle class American standards! Who's going to work hard when it's punished, sleep on the "job" and do a little moonlight laze fair black-market on the side to survive. A workable society cannot be pure free enterprise (aka. capitalism) nor can it be pure state--the ultimate monopoly is government and it serves us with predictable rubbish efficiency. I insist on high degree of Meritocracy, will not bust my ass for the benefit of the lazy beyond/against my own interests unless whipped half to death, which is the logical conclusion of Communism. I have nothing against 1960's hippy communes, it's well within their basic freedom, just don't force me into it. Interesting that the most hardcore Capitalists are old hippies. lol

So WHY do you even care what company X does? Tesla has zero use for you and visa versa, that's the great thing about free enterprise, we all have unlimited options with wide ranging circumstances. I care bc I have a fortune in the stock, so everything operationally matters.

  11616.  @sanserof7  Yup. TSLA is going to be $30k ish before then tho, laughably cheap right now with PEG of around 0.5 and PE where it was in mid 2019. It'll easily be a triple in 2yrs IMO.

  11617.  @MaxwellMax  Tesla had some 1.5M applicants last yr., everyone is replaceable. They have a mission to fulfill and it's not going to happen "over the phone" or online, and it's not about coddling fragile feelings or catering to slackers. SURE...a very few can perform at high level remotely, not a lot tho at a Co. manufacturing hardware where a problem on the assembly line needs to be backed up immediately by managers ON SITE. If actually going to work is too much to ask for some--GOOD RIDDANCE, they can pretend to work at Google, Apple or other.

  11621.  @full__tilt  Poverty is 1st, foremost and finally a state of mind. One of the worst aspects of the poverty mentality is gleeful fantasizing about cutting down the "tall flowers" as tho that would somehow raise them, as tho wealth was only relative. It's so much easier than going out and busting one's ass to excel and prosper. Minimal integrity and self responsibility are other characteristics of poverty along with the toxic ridiculous notion that one persons wealth is at the expense of others when exactly the opposite is true.

  11632.  @x9147  Last time I bothered to notice, Uber didn't make any money. Robotaxis will mint money for awhile , probably several yrs to a decade, then it will be commoditized and no more profitable than any taxi biz today. Along with cheap EVs it will mark the 1st time in a century that driving (or being driven) costs will fall dramatically, some 4 or 5X cheaper for all of us....more for those hailing instead of owning a car.

  11654. Who are you talking about and how do they accomplish such?
    1
  11655. @Claire H Hydrogen You should be celebrating where we are at now and where we are RAPIDLY going: Solar power is NOW the cheapest source of electric power and wind a close 2nd. So we will power everything off of those along with storage. Storage can take any number of forms including, and most efficiently, Li batts. You harbor a fantasy for HFC (Hydrogen fuel cell) car which is simply an inefficient version of the battery for that purpose. If we were to mistakenly force that rout it will dramatically delay the conversion away from fossil fuels as it will cost far more to drive where as a BEV, available, affordable and easy to charge RIGHT NOW--TODAY! There is no performance trade off going to a good BEV today, they are the quickest vehicles on the road and about 1/4 or less to operate as gasoline which is about 1/2 as expensive as hydrogen. Do yourself a favor: Go test drive any number of modern BEVs, Ford, Nissan, Tesla, VW...and be inspired to learn more about them. If you can't afford one today you will be able to in a few yrs if you can afford to drive anything. It won't even matter if an individual likes BEVs or not, same with solar, the economics will simply be irresistible unless governments screw it up, all they need to do is stand aside at this point. The train has left the station.
    1
  11656. @Claire H Hydrogen You are ill informed, there is NO shortage of Li and in fact Li batteries are mostly made of other metals and can use many different chemistries including endlessly abundant iron. As for "rare earths" the H car requires just as much (those go in motors and electronics) PLUS a pile of far rarer platinum. Li is one of the most abundant elements in Earth's crust. We can easily convert not only cars but the entire energy system in America from Nevada Li alone and then it will be endlessly recycled. No offense but you really have a shallow understanding here. How much it rains? GOOD GRIEF that's silly, water availability is a non-issue entirely. Why do you even mention petrol? That's entirely irrelevant and slated for rapid obsolescence.
    1
  11657. @Claire H Hydrogen Seems like a romantic rather than rational thing with you? You realize clean H is nothing but a different type of battery. Why not go with a vastly more efficient, aka., cleaner battery?
    1
  11658. @Claire H Hydrogen What do you drive now or want to drive in all seriousness?
    1
  11659. @Claire H Hydrogen There isn't a whole lot of room for H efficiency improvements if you look at the details of it. It's already a very mature industry for fertilizers and other commodities. Batts can and will do the entire job and they WILL continue to drop in price and improve in most other metrics. We've been hearing about H potential for well over half a century. I'm not going to "diversify" into something that's going to fail, that doesn't help anything, quite the contrary.
    1
  11660. @Claire H Hydrogen Also--if you care about "clean" then you also care about efficiency and the extreme price difference between charging a BEV and a HFC reflects relative efficiency.
    1
  11661. @Claire H Hydrogen That's not the choice I'm referring to. Do you prefer to pay $6 to fill up or $60? THAT's the diff between Li battery and clean H. But it's worse than that for home owners who can charge a BEV overnight and never need to visit a station except for road trips. HFC also have much more maintenance then BEV and they are more expensive to purchase, a lot more expensive in a few yrs.
    1
  11662. H is a battery in effect, with that use case, just a very inefficient battery.

  11670.  @thewolfdoctor761  The comparison was with Elon's Tesla stock as collateral for Twitter being an overhang on TSLA as was the purchase of Solar City in 2016 for other reasons.

    1
  11715.  @harrychu650  Yes it's instructive to see how GM and many other mfgs are doing there, no reason to panic as a TSLA investor but it's a concern, always has been. Tom Nash made the case that Elon's consideration of Russia (Putin not much better than the CCP) was just for leverage against China's abuse, IDK but he's "Russian" and smart.
    1
  11716.  @harrychu650  The CCP will ensure Tesla doesn't seriously dominate, they can and do instantly rally nationalism to cut down anyone or company. IDK that it was a mistake to build in China but I expect T to be severely reconsidering any future factories there. Many smaller companies have indeed been suckered and investments there wiped out. Not much reported is things like T cars being singled out and pulled over on the road just bc of the brand label, lined up in the median or side, stigmatized.

  11722.  @imho7250  And NFLX, NOW, MELI, TWLO, SPLK? SQ is up against 5, I could carry on but you get the idea
    1
  11723.  @imho7250  That's why it's a time to consider on the long side around now because it's out of favor. There is no rule as to how long a Co. should grow before becoming profitable, how long did AMZN take? Granted that's an exception and old comparison but 20 some yr.s ago the same things were said about, even 10 yr.s or less ago. By definition these things are very hard in foresight and easy in hindsight. I bought 6 wks ago after avoiding but following all these yr.s because the story line on The Street just got ridiculously negative while the prospects are dramatically improving IMO. Definitely not a blue chip if that even means much anymore. But the chances of it going below $100 are nill as Apple or Google or someone else will buy it before then, both of those have tried and failed to create something remotely similar on their own and T. owns half the global batt supply and ramping toward several times current cap. No one has even come close to marketing a 2012 model S competitor tho granted that's a luxury item, it's going to be very difficult for others to catch up. The 3 is cost competitive with common Toyotas and a lot better.
    1
  11724.  @imho7250  OK. Reinvesting in growth is typically rewarded on The Street if the grow is there, and the grow is there, profits can wait for yr.s or even decades given enough future profit potential. Clearly The Street get's it wrong sometimes and the 'demand cliff' is now obviously one of those times, it was a false story line and a crucial part of the bear case. And where are the battery production faculties required for the competition to produce volume? T. is dynamic and likely will figure out how to make fat profits off these newer cars, no guarantees but it's not as easy to duplicate as you indicate. So far the demand is FAR beyond supply and there is no REAL competition from anywhere. T. has the highest efficiency cars by a wide margin and performance in general for the price. Nothing else comes close, surely they will figure out how to capitalize on the staggering demand.

  11729. I was expecting to go long TSLA later this yr. but the negativity on The Street got SO ridiculous by May/June, last Fall when that happened I made a nice trade before the quarter, this time I just waited for the near bottom and went in heavy, I'm long for the long term.

  11741.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  I'll take your word for it. It is an inferior car I understand but that's somewhat subjective. Deff not a drivers car, front drive too? I'll never buy a new FD car unless it's dirt cheap. Others may not care. You make some good points. Go with what you know. To me this looks increasingly like early 2019, not the same magnitude of upside but the hysteria and BS. Even very smart bulls on TSLA are losing it and falling for the fabricated narratives like "Elon randomly banning "journalists" he doesn't like". All they'd have to do is go to Elon's Twit feed to know that's crap. Why do folks still treat Establishment media as tho it represents reality?
    1
  11742.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  You are mixing in BYD hybrids, but yes they are the closest 2nd. Tesla's margins have grown primarily from economies of scale and innovation, granted the car market got out of whack too. The pending calamity (assuming it happens) will tend to increase Tesla's dominance. Teslas long term margins will increase for a host of reasons I don't have time to explain, short term they may drop a little and they are the only one's in the industry who can afford to decrease margins. What's going to happen to the "competition" then? All of them are losing money on BEVs already with exception of BYD who are breaking even. Many will be flushed out which is normal and healthy. Not hard to see a lot of reckless stupid money going into the space, tho much of that's already deflated bubble.
    1
  11743.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  Many metrics to consider, none are flawless and unavoidable analogies problematic. However-- TSLA has half the backward PE of AMZN with some 4X the growth rate, why? How about forward PE of around 25? (obviously depending on numbers you believe but The St. low) PEG of 0.5? Ballooned Tesla's margin?? How? Tesla was lowering prices yrs ago then had to increase them to keep wait times 'reasonable' and car flipping minimal, no point selling cars for less than the market will bare. Situation normal. Tesla can afford to decrease prices and still maintain 100% of the BEV market profits they have now, still have unheard of margins for the industry inc. ICE. They continue to decrease MFG costs. Despite all the propaganda and FUD, there is no demand problem as best I can tell. China uncertain but still a thriving market Tesla dominates. USA pending IRA means some demand has been forwarded to 2023 for obvious reasons. IDT Q4 will be stellar but probably surprise anyway given rampant negativity.
    1
  11744.  @user-ow1bn6qv8q  More like 25%, the possibility of him selling certainly had an effect but overall with a 2X beta to the Naz it's right where one would expect over 12 months. Look at AMZN, Lucid, Rivian and BEV cohort. It's fine for investors, a rare buying opportunity that has zero effect on TSLA a yr or 2 forward. Weak hands can flee as most have by now, that's healthy and normal from time to time.

  11745.  @rj8u  You should try the drink. I've been a minimal millionaire for yrs. It's never easy for anyone tho, easy is generally worth what u pay for it. Funny thing is you have drank the Kool Aid too, just a different flavor. So far seems mine is vastly superior. :D

Why that matters here is Tesla has never done conventional advertising, they don't pay Establishment Media Mafia protection racket. And propaganda works, you should take out your anger on them for continuously misleading you/us, and learn from those of us who've been modestly successful instead of pouting and mocking....that hasn't worked for you so far and won't in the future.

  11804.  @williamsinisterra4189  Any such simplistic comparison is flawed but a few data points just for fun: TSLA had market cap of $4B shortly after IPO in 2010, call it $8B w inflation, at that point they had delivered 100X more units than Lucid has to date and yet 10X higher value for LCID? And it's at an extreme late entry disadvantage. 9yrs after IPO Tesla had market cap of around $50B with 100's of thousands of highly popular high margin vehicles on the road, plus prospects for SAS (software as a service) solar, powerwalls, grid/utility scale batt systems, and the best software, batt tech and production efficiencies on Earth. Lucid has a decent shot at surviving the decade or being acquired but I expect the stock to flat line, at best, for yrs at a far lower level. There is room for many in this space but most upstarts will fail, simple historic fact for new industries.
    1
  11805.  @williamsinisterra4189  I'd guess around $15 to 20 for LCID a yr from now but even that is too much for me at this early unproven stage. I'm not a gambler anymore, not rewarding, but wish good luck to y'all.
    1
  11806.  @williamsinisterra4189  I made a modest fortune on TSLA over several yrs after a decade of closely following it, NOT EASY. There was damn good reason to expect it to fail thru 2018, that's the norm as you will see. It's pure childish folly to be seeking the "next Tesla", there will never be one.

Since I'm not going to react to it anyway, I just don't focus on days going against me when I don't want to, more fun to enjoy the up days semi-ignore the downers. :D Increasingly I'm immune to short term random price action, I just don't care. I have conviction for the LT so whatever gains do not happen this yr will happen in coming yrs. Fundies always win in the end. (not to suggest anything is easy)
    1
  11813.  @adriankuma1-1-1  Back at you. :D I stopped trading late 2018, wasn't that good at it after a decade or two, lol. Had some nice little 10 or 20% gains in a month here and there, nothing compared to 600% (last yr., not to be repeated however, although 2019 was even better) simply invested LT with yrs of DD, no need to care about daily price action. Leaves me flexible to profit from my business, do my landscaping or whatever, hehehe... forget about what the tape does today. I can't fart around online a lot when personally creating wealth or much else. All I care about is the company LT trajectory, real news.

May as well be promoting being a mercenary in the Congo or a drug runner out of Mexico. They have no concept of working in an industrial plant say.
    1
  11822.  TheENofficial  Good point, it's complicated, depends on the situation but the obscene tuition inflation and student debt are not entirely about stupid students. It starts in high school or before with the indoctrination that the only way to prosper is thru college while trades are stigmatized.
    1
  11823.  TheENofficial  Yes or many other things peddled by by colleges while they convince students to cripple their lives with crushing debt for a garbage degree and indoctrinate them with Marxism and white male condemnation.

Q4 will be good and the future is bright even if we see 2009 again in 2023, that'll wipe out most of the "competition" while just dinging Tesla. Dan Ives talks about Twitter noise as if that did anything but burnish the brand except for far Leftist/Establishment echo chambered minorities who are so narrow minded they don't even care that the USA has become a banana republic via FBI, DHS and the rest manipulating elections.

Incentive to tally fake accounts being corrected and far more right around the corner. Oh....and of course removing the DHS, FBI and other evil Establishment influences bent on mass manipulation, censorship and election interference--GONE from the building. No idea about your personal issues with it but they are making a few mistakes, no doubt to be quickly corrected.

Always challenge your thesis folks.

Weatherman could say worse this century or worse in last 30 yrs or whatever the case. If one isn't true to themselves I don't know what's left of that person. When "consensus" and dogma rules, when 'skeptic' becomes a pejorative (skepticism is the proper default position on everything) you know things are off course and we are going to pay up big time for it. No good comes from conforming to dangerous nonsense and it has become dangerous Very few have studied the actual science they get their strong opinions from yellow news media which has never given a crap about science or reality in general typically.

  11849.  @paulstone3590  For those looking for "the next Tesla"--it doesn't exist and probably won't. If they want that, just buy TSLA! It doesn't matter where it's been only where it's going. Only emotions (the prime enemy of successful investing or even trading) get in the way of understanding that. OK, so 'you' (FOMO crowd) missed out on near 20X gains in TSLA, that won't be repeated in any other 18 month time frame, but I'm still long which is exactly the same decision as buying at todays price Ppl have a hard time coming to grips with that reality ONLY due to emotions that must be over ruled.
    1
  11850.  @paulstone3590  I don't short stocks, no telling how long it can hang on, NKLA is worth exactly $0 IMO but still has fools or invested funds propping it up. When will it go to zero?....dunno maybe a yr or two. That's a very rare case study. Big diff between "I have no investment thesis" for X and "I have conviction it will crash", most of the time the sidelines are the right place to be. I have some solid names I'd love to add to I don't need to toss darts. GS may have it's day in 2025 say, at that point or along the way, if they convince me they have something compelling that they can produce at scale I'll consider it accordingly. At this point they've got next to nothing.
    1
  11851.  @paulstone3590  I'm not calling GS a fraud although major red flags were clear upon their presentations. Most losers are not fraudulent they just don't pan out, most in the space will be gone and forgotten in 10 yrs. That's the way it always is. I followed Tesla and Elon for a decade with increasing intensity before deciding to 'bet the ranch on it'. Had I not acquired extremely high conviction in the name I'd have been blown out any number of times like when it dropped 60% early this yr from it's highs then 30% late summer/early fall. I didn't sell a single share but only added a little bc I have solid reason to believe in the long term story. If the story changes in my view then obviously I'll reconsider at any time but for now I can let TSLA run till at least 2025/2030. GS doesn't even have a story, just some dubious unsupported, unimpressive claims and 4 yrs to first revenues! Boy can it fall a long way in before then.
    1
  11852.  @paulstone3590  To compare to Tesla is ridiculous, they have nothing in common except that all these SPACS and IPOs like NKLA and GS are riding the TSLA wave. I didn't invest in TSLA until they not only proved capable of great products (did that 10 yrs ago) but also mass production of great products...so I stopped trading it in 2018 and backed up the truck mid 2019 for a host of convergent reasons. GS doesn't even offer a lousy demo batt pack let alone a product for sale. Tesla has had revenues for over a decade now, profits are besides the point.
    1
  11853.  @paulstone3590  Elon had a track record of success, GS CEO has one of failure. They presented their supposed batt tech with deceptive old comparisons ignoring the massive advancements of Tesla's new cells which dramatically mute GS claims and they offered NOTHING real, no prototype, no demonstrations. Why is this more than a few $100M market cap when they don't even claim to offer a product for 4 or 5 yrs?? Nothing but FOMO stupidity.
    1
  11854.  @paulstone3590  He has good reason for that, not quite NKLA but they sure were deceptive in their presentations. Should be a $2 stock maybe.

There will still be antiques with petrol engines 20 plus yrs from now I hope, I assume, but fuel will began to get expensive and harder to find right when marginal cost of electrons is getting the cheapest ever and EVs are getting 100 to 160 MPGe. Very soon the poor man's choice will be a used EV and we will all be more prosperous for the huge savings in personal transportation. I still love my 'old' BMWs and don't want an EV yet but times they are a change'n.

  11870. @Albert Marnell They have been exactly the same price per mile (adjusted for inflation) since 1920's or so. That's about to change in a big way, soon you'll have a $25k option, new, that is better than any econobox available today and FAR cheaper to operate.

  11871. @Albert Marnell S curve adoption rate, by 2030 some 85% of new road vehicles will be electric purely for economic reasons.

  11872. The reckless shutdown policies come home to roost. What did we expect from 2 yrs of media fear mongering and resulting panic and economic devastation? Frankly some food insecurity is a good thing as it was obvious from the 1st wk of the 1st shutdown that half the population was suffering while the other half didn't notice or care. I increasingly grow my own.

  11874. The brand is "tarnished" for the Leftist lunatics, it's greatly enhanced for the rest of the population. These Establishment types are the minority and too isolated to realize it.

  11875. Talk about Fed has "no dry powder" for at least 15 yrs, just worse now, at least taking steps to correct. I'm doing same 'ol same 'ol, not reacting to economic prognostications (channel Peter Lynch, look him up here on YT :D) You can't time it even if you expect it, never was a day that wasn't scary in markets...hahaha...going back centuries. Get OVER IT.

(I forget when, but it didn't happen if you didn't notice) What did he miss?--technology and free enterprise effectiveness. Most of the world today faces population collapse, the West, Japan, China.... Big exceptions for India and Africa which is sparsely populated anyway, they continue to multiply.

FCC illegally violating contract with SpaceX. Multiple BS investigations. Often the process is the punishment. IRS visiting Matt Taibbi's home while he was coincidentally testifying before congress about Twitter Files. FBI intimidation/prosecution of parents protesting school board meetings concerning teaching 8 yr olds butt intercourse. Endless violations of 1A via FBI (and other alphabets) paying, lying and coercing false narratives. Just the tip of the iceberg but hopefully that makes the point.

  11907. If ppl are so fragile that they can't be exposed to slightly different opinions and that determines their purchase options, then they deserve an inferior product. Elon hasn't changed in decades but the Left has gone so extreme L it has appeared that normal rational Centrists have gone Right when we haven't moved. Friend of mine just visiting family in Cali, Silicon Valley area, all of his family has been manipulated by popular propaganda to hate on Elon since he took over Twitter and The Establishment went nuts because they no longer have a monopoly on the One True Narrative. ALL of them still drive Teslas! 😄

  11909. Makes no sense to me. Vast majority would have been under water, below water table for millions of yrs to date, the beam-blocks over columns would have to be by far the biggest granite blocks ever moved, there is no foundational reason for it, bedrock is already at the base of the pyramids.

  11910.  @matthewdunstone4431  Then you didn't understand Elon, he's been consistent for 30yrs. Listen to old speaches, interviews, his X feed... He didn't get here by being weak minded timid typical PC CEO. Candor and integrity are not optional, you're asking for fake. What has he done wrong? Upset the status quo? Speak truth to power?

  11934. 1:00 "'growing faster than the raw material supply chain can grow'" temporarily at least, extreme high prices for the likes of Li will drive unprecedented supply growth.

  11935. A small Li producer (Silver Peak, Nevada) I once contracted for long ago, shutdown just a couple yrs ago with no plans to reopen, someone made a bad call bc the restarted in a matter of months, the price was low then it went thru the roof. Wouldn't be shocked to hear next that they are doubling production. (no it too can't happen overnight, even in Nevada, HA!)

  11953. Sparks weather is perfect in the summer, high desert means minimal humidity, 95 there is preferable to 80 in Austin. Winter it gets colder than you'd like tho plus modest snow much of the season. And it's far more beautiful than most places in the USA, the Sierras are right there with lake Tahoe only 45 minutes.

  11954. A photo of the city itself is misleading, the setting is not quite spectacular but it sure is compared to anywhere in Kansas or TX.
    1
  11955.  @FutureAzA  I believe it's not respected as an urban environment, as a dynamic city with the sort of culture that most want. Perhaps too small and not youthful or varied enough. Frankly the casino biz and the sort ppl and activities that draws is NOT attractive. To me casinos represent the most unhappy, unhealthy, unimaginative and unsuccessful folks. There is more to the area than that but a defining characteristic. If you like outdoor activities there is a lot to offer from skiing, dirt and mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and high desert has a lot to offer, it looks stark from a distance, even from the road but most of it is beautiful to be immersed in.

  12025.  @barrywhite9114  Either that or he's utterly clueless. Increasing the price or hassle of flying increases surface transportation and that is about 400,000X more dangerous....many more will die if Nader get's his way.
    1
  12026. If he get's his way he will have to live with killing thousands of people, but he doesn't give a damn about anything but his ego and 'celebrity', never mind reality.

  12027. Yeah crashes and fatalities made BIG money for Boeing, they did it all on purpose.
    1
  12028.  @747-pilot  You could ride the most dangerous airline on the planet everyday for a yr. and one trip on the road to the airport is a lot more dangerous. It's astounding that there has been only one fatality in the entire USA in over a decade now on airlines, that was the unfortunate dude who got half sucked out of a blown out window due to an uncontained engine fail.
    1
  12029.  @ahuehuete4703  OK. You have a useful point there?
    1
  12030.  @ahuehuete4703  Back in the '60's there was a tiny fraction of the passenger miles traveled too so the safety improvements have been spectacular thanks to capitalism, same couldn't be said in USSR. Ticket prices were maybe 10X higher in real terms back then too. What would Boeing officials be charged with and how far down the corporate structure would you lock them up? Engineers, riveters, mechanics, stock holders, .....? How about locking up Ralph Nader for neglecting his "job"? He didn't do a damn thing to help either.

  12031. Airliners today are insanely safe I hope Dad didn't even get within a mile of a road if he's afraid of that sort of flying, walking is vastly more dangerous let alone driving. (not talking about small aircraft)

  12032.  @PabloGonzalez-hv3td  Yeah! One of their mistakes.
    1
  12033.  @allangibson8494  Nope. It's due to it's heritage, the less potent system has been in place for decades and wasn't considered critical to flight safety.

  12035.  @marioaleblanc9863  Answer my questions or I'm done. This is not a conversation as is and I'm obligated to expect you are fabricating your hinted at credentials until some evidence provided.
    1
  12036.  @marioaleblanc9863  In part yes. Are the pilots not responsible for switching OFF the system if necessary? Please answer the above questions also, I hear from folks claiming all sorts of credentials while obviously lying.
    1
  12037.  @marioaleblanc9863  You don't think it can be fixed? What airliners have you flown? One of my brothers is a Boeing Airliner Sr. Mech. Engineer and he agrees that Boeing F.ed up but also the pilots particularly the 2nd crash post Boeing bulletin on the matter. What do you have issue with what I've said?
    1
  12038.  @W123  Good point. The MAX is a much bigger problem but I'm fairly sure it's fixable. Dennis Muilenburg has been canned now, I think that's a good move by the board, a few heads should roll and the buck stops there. Dennis was way too much of a slick salesmen, always made me a bit nervous despite his engineering background.

  12043.  @BennyGeserit  And your alternative is riding horses, right? That would be the result and guess what--horses are thousands of times more expensive and more dangerous that flying. Do your part and quit purchasing food at a grocery store, quit using the internet and don't even think about riding in a motorized vehicle. Otherwise you are a HYPOCRITE.

  12055. Thank you from USA! (Cali) He's consistently put thru the media and court wringer here too. FORTUNATELY the Big Gov can't entirely squash him because they'd have no access to Earth orbit without him, nor an EV industry, etc. Corrupt Delaware did manage to confiscate his entire last 6 yrs of compensation from Tesla--he busted his butt for free, at this point.

  12058.  @shivamthakur6597  As for Ukraine--Elon waited for instructions from the inept president of the USA. No instructions came, he doesn't wait long he get's it done, so he did the best he could, to allow Ukraine to defend but not help it take new territory. Difficult situation with no good answer.

  12066. That's cool. Some joked that it was payback for when Ausies helped at crucial time (Apollo 13 maybe?) when we couldn't otherwise communicate with our astronauts. I was at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Cali when the 1st Shuttle returned, watching it on TV and ran outside to catch the sonic boom, hearing it really makes it seem near. Same for meteors which I've had pleasure of hearing a couple times.

  12081. There's a multi-decade severe shortage of REAL WORK in the USA trades, but it seems young ppl completely ignore the readily available 6 figure income as such jobs have been stupidly stigmatized and.... who really wants to work anyway?
    1
  12082. Only ever had substantial, challenging, high value added jobs since late teens. In the USA there are millions of 6 figure jobs in the trades that no one wants, been that way for decades but especially now. Apparently most don't want real work if it entails any physical component, god forbid they get hands dirty!

  12085. Wreckapotamus: It's not only about thermodynamic efficiency. It's ultimately about *economic efficiency*, that means it must be cost competitive with the alternatives and I seriously doubt it ever will be. If the upfront capital costs are extreme as they appear to be, fusion will never be competitive with indirect fusion. We don't really care how efficiently the sun delivers it's power to us, only what we can do with the tiny fraction that reaches Earth. The vast majority of the sun's output escapes into space and it costs us NOTHING. Perhaps fusion be useful in other ways such as driving us to nearby star systems eventually where power to weight is everything, cost be damned. No doubt such research will advance many technologies in general, I champion that aspect, but not necessarily more so than investing similar amounts to dramatically improve what already works, like solar. I support basic research in general and it's no where near as wasteful as military expenditures for example.
    1
  12086. Itsover ninethousand Would you put money on that?  I'll bet you a 10 grand that it won't be suppling electricity to the grid in 10 yr.s.  Not even 40 yrs.  And in 10 yr.s no one will care because solar will make an even bigger joke out of fusion then it is today.  Solar is on a trajectory to be the cheapest electric EVER.

  12173.  @LilyBecca  Extraterrestrials are inherently fascinating, we've invested a lot looking for signals and physical artifacts, hints for decades. The military revelations in recent yrs are compelling, but if you can believe 'they' can defy our known physics then you can also believe some Earthlings created a way to fool our eyes and instruments. Tricking the human brain is amazingly easy, not so easy to include high tech instruments simultaneously, but within the known laws of physics mostly, lol. Point being: if the only potential solution one can think of for UAPs is extraterrestrials, they need to think harder. At SOME LEVEL, the limits of our imagination can limit our understanding.

  12204.  @turningpoint6643  I wouldn't say it' a rare combination, I've know plenty of extremely smart engineering students and in the field but it's certainly not a guarantee of anything. I can only think of a few who made it thru the curriculum that I judged to be a fairly dumb, you wouldn't have a chance to make it if you were really stupid, you can't fake applied math and science and much of it is quite challenging even to a smart individual. For me it was about proving to MYSELF that I could handle the math and physics for my own satisfaction and confidence, more than anything else. How would you know if you don't actually do it? I suppose I'd say it's almost a guarantee an engineering grad is not totally stupid, at least in my experience of being aquainted with a few hundred of 'em. A few I definitely would NOT hire however.

(biggest tungsten mine in the free world for decades) Mom's dad made a fortune from a copper mine he cofounded in Philippines, based in Manila...mom's mom was a spender tho and outlived grandpa by 30 yrs and outlived about $40M by at least a decade.

  12216.  @calebhatesthings  Suit yourself but keeping my cats indoors isn't a viable or responsible option. For one--their lives are vastly richer with gardens, trees, hunting and freedom. Also, while pets first and foremost, they are also crucial for rodent control, gophers, mice and rats, former 2 I can't really live with. Instead I chose a property for cats, dead end slow gravel road, semi rural but not so rural as to allow easy coyote or lion transit/habitat. Cars are by far the biggest threat to cats in general around any roads near or above 25mph. They have hardwired instincts to deal with everything but machines.

  12224.  @jochannan7379  I'm not the one to say "the science is settled". We haven't much needed to further investigate Newtonian Physics in over a century, that's settled Climate IS NOT SETTLED. (note the If above) Climate simulations don't work, they can't predict 'The Little Ice Age' only half a millennia ago, nor even last century let alone the wild Younger Dryass swings just 14k Yrs ago, yesterday in geological time, climatology a derivative of geology. Point: convince me it's settled and you've convinced me to stop paying for redundancy. Scientists might back away from that false claim, actually--"journalists" more than actual scientists. No one seems confident that another glacial maximum is or isn't around the corner at any given CO2 level, models don't work yet and that's why we need the science but atmospheric CO2 would almost have to mitigate it to some significant degree, pun. An absolute life necessity is labeled a pollutant? CO2 level is a existential problem but probably not on the high side at these NEAR all time lows. (studied this a fair amount the arguments from 'authorities', most of those reported at least, don't mesh with the actual science) The rate of change is concerning, not so much the magnitude. CO2 is an important component of climate but it's not THE driver Back that up relatively easily. Panic won't help and pure economics have flipped the script--renewables are taking over as most cost effective option in a competitive market. Cars are going electric far faster naturally than government mandates require with or without subsidies. Quite a coincidence that 280ppm is magically ideal for life and humanity, as tho Earth was made for us by a perfect god. Reason to believe that 500ppm is better and safer. Not to suggest 1000 is OK but also not the arbitrary dangerously low 280ppm.

  12240. ​ @SVT40AK47  The "Good ol' Days" are when we were young and we remember fondly times that we were not always fond of back in the day. Remember Love Canal? It wasn't a one off it was symbolic of general industrial toxicity across the land. Our rivers were so laden with waste they caught on fire. Every car emitted gaging fumes, city smog was thick and brown, it burned your eyes and throat and stunk the high hell outdoors and inside. You couldn't escape it. Don't even think about being born gay, there would be no place for you in society and a woman must get married or be sad and poor. Blacks were still regarded as stray dogs. Don't openly question toxic Christianity or the existence of god or you'd be run out of town--career ruined, ostracized without a friend. Cars were dangerous slow crude contraptions with wheels only aproximately associated with the frame, brakes that only sort of worked, don't try to turn hard bc they couldn't...as poor as they performed they also got 8/12 mpg. They were wore out by 100k miles, you could rebuild the crappy inefficient engine but the interior was a mess too, uncomfortable since new the seats would be nothing but springs with shreds of fabric by then, headliner hanging, nobs and controls broken and missing. The body would be rusted out and falling apart. You had to do few hrs maintenance every month, points, plugs, check oil at every fuel stop and add as necessary, that nasty black puddle on your driveway didn't come for free. Bias tires were done for in 8 to 15k miles, they handled and rode like hell and would acquire flat spots after parking for a day. Radials didn't exist. Don't dream of flying anywhere you wouldn't be able to afford the ticket and of course it was 1000X more dangerous. Homes were small with thin uninsulated walls and only a few crude energy hungry appliances, a tiny TV that barely produced a visible picture, only if you were well off. And it would need frequent repairs as vacuum tubes often failed. Violent crime was 2 to 3X what it's been in recent decades in part due to blood lead levels 10X higher from leaded gasoline.

Many good transmission options but I have hard time getting head around less than 3 pedals for a fun car sporty car. Not much of that applies to vintage tho. For me, driving dynamics rules all, form follows function, I want one I can really USE, with some practicality, be it a road trip or grocery shopping.

  12251.  @AMAMBT  Yes it's a difficult long list to accommodate, I shopped from San Diego to Seattle for 6 wks before finding the one I bought with 45k miles, pristine.

  12252.  @AldoVanucci1966  I can see that, makes good sense. I too have used trucks in many ways. No doubt there will be many form factors coming from Tesla and others, vans of multiple sizes, more traditional PU, mini PU, on and on. All these things take time. Meanwhile CT has been driving exceptional traffic to Tesla showrooms that have them, those locations have had dozens of extra 3s & Ys for folks to test drive for 30 minutes, no questions asked. So while they can't actually get a CT nor necessarily want or be able to afford one, common form cars may see significant extra demand and are highly affordable and compelling.
    1
  12253.  @AldoVanucci1966  I'd prefer CT had tailgate access ease, an intermediate step of some sort like modern pickups often do. Not sure if bumper serves that purpose adequately, partly depends on something to grab onto as well. Aftermarket will offer many specific use case enhancements no doubt, inc. Tesla I guess.

  12254.  @AldoVanucci1966  Fair point but some of that stuff much easier to access in frunk and certainly not "functionally useless" just for that, functionally degraded, particularly for short and weak. ;-) Most real work trucks I'm around aren't much used like that, they access via tailgate anyway, tool boxes, fuel tank, etc.

  12269.  @DrumsMacabre  The most horrific acts in the brief history of humanity (at leas from the Euro end) come from the Bible. Forests of Native Americans nailed to wooden crosses, Cortez in Central America, even the Nazis and Vietnam War. ALL Christian atrocities. When Christians ruled Europe it was a manmade HELL on Earth, the Inquisition--where anyone who challenged the most morally trivial aspects of Church teachings was tortuously murdered. Not just killed but cooked slowly over a fire or endless number of barbaric means, 50 plus Popes in succession each coming up with ever worse methods. How about a big Iron pot full of rats strapped to your torso, the pot heated until the rats eat there way threw your midriff to escape the heat? Fun huh? Godly they said and they had the OT to back them up. I don't get my morals from any Goddamned scriptures and I'm better than most. The Old Testament is a litany of horrors and JeezAss reaffirmed the whole damned thing. Again: What faculty do YOU use to determine what pars of the Bible are good or not? Or if the Bible is good or not? How do you judge that?
    1
  12270.  @DrumsMacabre  Plagues are a recurring feature of life on Earth, not just for humanity. And human morality isn't unique to humans, it's a necessary evolutionary trait for social animals, we see at least most forms in many species, had to be in most dinosaurs, etc. A lone wolf tends to be a dead wolf, so if it can't get along, follow some fundamental social norms, disciplines and rules, it get's kicked out of the pack (tribe or whatever) if not killed outright. A basic sense of justice is also innately hardwired in all but a tiny minority of infant humans. To derive ethics from scriptures you have to cherry pick. The OT which Jesus reaffirmed every letter, is a horrific litany of barbaric commandments, even the ten commandments are not helpful, somewhat corrosive. Demanding blind obedience, worship, is obviously a human construct from those desiring to control us and tap our wallets, nothing good ever came from worship except by accident. Golden rule is childishly obviously good and not original to the Bible. 2 month old infants know it. What facility do we use to determine that stoning your daughter to death for not being a virgin on her wedding night is NOT good but treating others as you want to be treated IS good? It can't come from the Bible itself. So it's completely useless as a moral guide, worse than useless because the horrific aspects are used as justification for those with self centered or evil intent.

  12271.  @DrumsMacabre  My point is that there is nothing remotely prophetic about any of that, regardless of typical awareness or ignorance. Anytime in history was worse for humanity than today in every measure, wars, famine, poverty, disease, deaths from extreme weather events, you name it. Headlines, yellow media, if it bleeds it leads, fuel gross disconnect from perspective. "The 2nd coming" was far closer in the early 20th century than today, for example.

  12394. That's very interesting but not how it is for me. I have cherished female friends that I have no sexual interest in, even the few I might consider as possible romantic potentials -- I gain from their feminine energy and perspective, I learn from them, bounce ideas off them or simply enjoy their presence. I don't pine over them. I might teach them how to maintain their car and they can teach me something about how women perceive me or men in general. They especially correct my fashion faux pas. HA! Wonder about the gay analog. Does it mean that gay guys can only have straight male friends or female friends? And similar for lesbians? Doesn't add up to me. Ppl are simply more complex than that.

  12396.  @TheSuperappelflap  Most often there is no husband immediately around, even if there is maybe HE could use some help. I see no problem with it either way. Other day at Costco a mid age lady, no idea or concern if she's married or not, was struggling and failing to load a large bag of potting soil or whatever -- I'd have felt low NOT to do it for her, it's just common decency. Similar to pulling a vehicle out of a ditch off a remote rural road, I'd do that for anyone, kid, man or woman. Last time was few yrs ago and mid age woman was nervous in the dark, don't blame her, but had her out of the mud in 5 minutes saving her the time and price of tow truck, and even more exposure alone in the dark. She was thrilled for the result which is MY reward. She really tried to give me $40 which I never accept, she didn't ask for my help initially after all and I've been saved in worse circumstance and THEY wouldn't accept my attempts to pay. Paying it back paying it forward, an easy way to help save someone a lot for little cost to me. Rarely the receiving person is ungrateful but that's the a small price to promoting a positive universe in which we live.

  12398.  @TheSuperappelflap  Rarely do I see women shopping with their hubbies. Cost me little to help a woman, married or not, couldn't care less, who is struggling to load a large item into her cart at Costco, easier for me to help than do nothing. Tiny gestures like that make for a better world. I've pulled folks out of the ditch multiple times off remote rural roads.. In those instances I saved someone a ton of trouble and likely tow fees at trivial personal cost. I've been saved from the ditch too long ago as a kid with few resources, they wouldn't accept pay and I won't either. Paying the universe back and paying it forward -- feels good when the receiver is grateful. (rarely they don't seem to be)

  12399.  @TheSuperappelflap  Wouldn't U want, maybe even expect a man to help your women load something if she's risking injury doing it herself? Often here there seems to be an undercurrent of resentment against the opposite sex that I just don't get.
    1
  12400.  @TheSuperappelflap  Yeah that's a much more difficult situation, she might turn on U for helping, ask any cop. I'm not lecturing as much as putting words to my thoughts and actions for general consideration. Sad that U are so resentful to half the population, it is somewhat self fulfilling. You seem to be living a similar toxic mentality to the one that presumably got U here. (OK, that is lecturing, I'm done now) Best wishes, obviously I'm only going to trigger U.

  12401.  @TheSuperappelflap  OHhhh...I see now. Hard to fathom that state of affairs but it is what it is. I'm guessing U live in a blue state, so do I. Intervening in violent encounters is fundamentally risky in any circumstances, much worse in your situation. Domestic violence calls are among the most dangerous for cops even. Pardon my presumptuousness. I have nothing useful to add to that, it's a personal choice to get involved or not in best of circumstances. Few are well equipped for violence intervention and, say in NYC, they will punish the good guy. Pathetic. My mentioned gestures, scenarios, are not much more noble than yielding in traffic when not required. But even that matters. If I had a point to make, I guess that's it.

  12467. Selfish has been given a bum rap, it's asinine to be anything less in all areas, not just mate selection. Self Centered is what many mean when they use selfish as a pejorative, if one cares about the biosphere it's selfish to help preserve the rainforest. One should recognize a healthy society allows for their nephews and grandchildren a chance to thrive which is a genetic extension of themselves so they may volunteer to improve their country as an act of broader self interest. Self centered is the infantile response that they are the center of the universe and their siblings, parents everything else takes a backseat. It's selfish for a parent to sacrifice their own well being for the sake of their children who are the long term expression of the parents lives. Selflessness is running into a burning house to save a neighbor who U know is plotting to murder you, don't do it, it's selfish to run into a burning house to save your own grandchildren, do it if theirs the slightest chance of success.

  12472.  @grndiesel  Intimate relations that hopefully include miscellaneous common fun activities be it farmers market, hiking, swimming...but definitely a highly mutually satisfying sexual component.

  12500.  @concernedamerican6961  There is only so much energy available and the time frame is on order of million yrs between eruptions.

It would be a multi millennial project however, massive investment but also huge electric power generation.

  12505.  @kb9gkc  Matters none to the grid if the kwh are locally intermittent or continuous except to what degree everyone is doing it at the same time, arbitrage mitigates that. Entire USA could run on a 100mile square patch of Nevada desert covered in solar panels backed by batteries. Just for perspective, it won't be concentrated like that. I'll be off the grid in a few yrs entirely powered by the sun including cars. Won't take a century any more than it took a century to go from horse and buggies to petrol infrastructure, that happened in a decade. That's hilarious nonsense, the market is vastly more effective than that even with government ineptitude in the mix.
    1
  12506.  @kb9gkc  Huh?? Talking about demand on the grid not max circuit capacity. AC obviously requires a big increment supply increase over no AC. Anyone can plug their cars into standard home circuits, that doesn't mean everyone all at once tomorrow can do it and the utilities have the supply for it.

  12507.  @davebrown8260  Lol. China has over 100 BEV companies and Tesla has 20% BEV market share in that most competitive auto market on Earth, despite the domestic brands being subsidized by CCP.

Backlash against the mandates and virtue signaling politicians claiming credit for something they had nothing to do with, not a superior technology that's 3X as efficient as the old. BEVs will drastically cut costs for lower income folks and improve everyone's lives. "Flawless execution"? WTF? No such thing ever existed. Yet a car is super high grade ore, wiring, body, batteries, motors, engines, it's all recycled endlessly and has been for many yrs to half a century or more. Have you never been to a scrapyard? They aren't new.

  12519.  @richlawrence4160  "In some remote places". Where ppl actually LIVE that's mostly false. Homes w solar generally also have batt backup, if they don't then they sell to the grid during peak day hrs and fill their vehicle during cheaper night grid hrs. U can also power your home for a week off your BEV during an outage. Try that with your obsolete ICE. You can also use BEV to assist the grid and make significant money off the arbitrage in many cases.
    1
  12520.  @davejohnson3773  Dead batt packs, varies widely, but are worth on the order of $1000. Yes they are profitably recycled TODAY, recovering 95% of metals. Again--it's extremely high grade ore, how would you not use it as such? At a commercial charger it's highly variable, but still generally significantly cheaper than gas/diesel. Charging at home isn't even close, like $6 or $10 vs $50 for gas. One Uber driver I know of saves enough to make his Tesla payment 2X over, and he relies on Superchargers alone, the pricy way to charge. Granted his use case far higher miles than average and that matters. No offense, but U don't know what U are talking about. I talked to a father of two college kids and he claimed to save $20k over a couple yrs on "fuel" alone. He bought a cheap used EV for them so it was highly cost effective. IDK what UK electric utility cost are but your petrol is expensive. U should look into it.

  12534.  @rolandrauenhorst2002  LA today is pristine compared to my introduction from RURAL isolated USA in 1968. lol "Do we want to run this experiment?" Anyone can understand that compelling case. However--we are running this experiment even if we managed to keep CO2 at 280ppm where industrialization started. There is nothing magical about 280 vs, say 600 where I think we are heading. What IS the ideal CO2 level? I sure ain't zero as that's the end of literally everything that matters. 280 is LT historically very low and arbitrary unless you believe this planet was made for us, or even life in general. That's just mindless religion. Deforestation is an argument for more atmospheric CO2 not less, plants thrive on far higher levels and recent glacial minimum CO2 levels have come dangerously close to mass plant extinction. We have greened the planet with more CO2. High value agriculture greenhouses like to inject 2000ppm CO2 often, they'd use 4000 if not for diminishing returns, plants love it, ppl, pollinators, etc., don't notice it. Have a tight energy efficient home?...it's probably 2000 plus and doesn't matter. Last 2.5M yrs climate has been horrible with repeated bulldozing of entire 3rd of N. Hemisphere over and over, highly unstable. A geologic blink of eye ago, 12.5kya, Younger Dryass saw 12 deg C swings in a matter of decades, bad shit. Talk about deforestation, try glaciation. Human caused habitat loss is a separate issue and a big one, nothing means much more than Madagascar lemures, whales...pick your fave. Not to suggest 600ppm will prevent the pending glacial max, no one knows bc climate models simply don't work. Probably NOT prevent. But it will marginally reduce the risk and intensity and certainly benefiting crop yields TODAY, reducing water requirements and fertilizing plant life globally. (Jeeeze--get me started, HA!)

  12535.  @rolandrauenhorst2002  Lathrop, CA in focus for 4680's too. Not looking for a big discussion on this tangent BUT::: I can better make the case for more CO2 is better than less, up to a point. (starting off as a low key 'climate warrior' in late 1980's and delving into the actual data and science more this century) Climate alarmism is a media and political fabrication, not based on science, not to be confused with being concerned. Elon's innitial reason for EV interest was energy security for humanity, that's still a thing. Air quality is my biggest concern, noise, efficiency and so on after that. Diesel exhaust can be nasty stuff, we've come along way from when LA air was stinky and brown, burned your eyes and throat and American rivers so laden w industrial waste they caught on fire up to the 1970's. Or go back to 1880's NYC when horse shit dust killed you and wood smoke was horrible. Still room for reasonable improvement.

Shorts had gone stupid so I bet the ranch against them and 8 months later they transferred some $45 BILLION to us retail dummy's. (never learn, transferred couple more $B just last week, SUCKERS!)))) I fear a $20k plus tossed con rod grenaded engine, but we all have bigger worries. Still safer than a murdercycle. :D Gotta live for the moment some too, I get way sideways half a dozen X per day when I take her out. Never get tired of that. Odds are S65 will stay together in my humble estimation. Always eager for better knowledge like yours however Throttle response is key, plus high revving similar to me old Japanese motors, visceral, mechanical, analog... naturally I had to have that 3rd pedal, never owned anything but rear drive manuals, got all of them sideways including business 1-ton service trucks to Yamaha bike.

I've looked into it 6 ways to Sunday before thinking of a purchase and it's still hard to say what's best to do, how much a problem it really is. I run clean fresh highest quality engine oils and warm it up fully before working it but I have no control over the 1st 45k miles. One prior owner was a key for me. An 8 or 10 yr old car w 4 or 5 prior owners--none of them OWNED IT they just rented. I'll have bearings replaced, install new throttle actuators and maybe a few other things proactively. Beyond that it's pretty solid best I can tell. No issues so far, not a single (knock on wood) problem worth mentioning in 4 yrs of moderate use.

  12597.  @alanlight7740  "Insanely" may be an overstatement but go shop the stuff for a project and you'll quickly figure out why it's almost never used in structural applications outside of food grade or other special cases. It sure seems insane if you want to build anything significant from it as I have done. It would be real nice to have something last forever without any corrosion protection yet it's never done at scale. I believe Tesla will be using a 400 series (higher alloy more expensive) not 300 but I forget the specifics by now. 3mm thick certainly IS 'insane' for body panels with any type of steel, that's about double the thickness of typical lt. truck frames today and more like 10X modern body panels. Doors, lids, tailgates are not going to be structural elements they are going to be dead wt. and somewhat hazardous if not powered at 2 or 3X heavier than conventional doors which are already problematic in off road use....but of course most truck owners are posers and don't actually use them as trucks. I don't know what sort of neighborhood you live in but I've never had a vehicle shot at, bullet "proof" isn't a goal for me, practicality IS. I'm a big believer in Elon and Tesla but that doesn't mean I give them a blank check.
    1
  12598.  @alanlight7740  In this case "economies of scale" are going to work against you--no getting around the expensive elements in such steels, consuming a LOT MORE can only drive the price of the metals higher. SS is insanely expensive due to the inherently expensive metals required, no amount of consumption is going to help with that.
    1
  12599.  @alanlight7740  Yeah all that about the Starship and melting points is utterly irrelevant to a truck. SS will require some 18% chromium which is extremely expensive and a lot on nickel which is also pricey and likely to be in short supply due to massive batt ramp up in coming yr.s. SS is not necessarily easier to weld than aluminum and it distorts severely when welded. Every modern truck uses Al alloy wheels for good reason, it could also serve as the body quite well with only scratching and possibly corrosion concerns. Have you ever wrestled with a door when a truck is parked at a moderate tilt? It happens a lot off road and those CT doors are going to be twice as heavy, are they planning to power the doors?...I suspect they may have to just for safety and that adds a pile of extra cost and complexity. Same for the tailgate which will likely be triple the mass of traditional ones with the ramps incorporated.

IDK what to call it) to fight over is also important for bigger heavier items, not so much for grocery bags. To be able to just slide things in and out, no lifting required until clearing the frunk deck, reaching and lifting at same time is problematic. Sort of like a small bed without the tailgate.
    1
  12605.  @4literv6  I wouldn't know but input from common small contractors could have driven that frunk. As one who has only had 1-ton service trucks for business, that frunk would be a serous attribute for flex storage, stuff you don't carry constantly as that's fixed on the rear, but extras specific to a given job. Rivian isn't catering to work/utilitarian but recreation instead. Plenty of demand from both uses case specialties.

But there's your Apple vs it's predecessors and by now there are no button phones left and I'm fine with that just as most are fine with Teslas arrangement, it's fast and intuitive enough to quickly become natural. Much more to an interior than that tho, like the quality of the seats is crucial. How it handles and drives trumps unnecessary buttons and a big screen is damn useful for navigation and all the rest.

  12610.  @andrewmeehan6151  You are looking backwards, things are changing fast. Norway has about the highest adoption level on Earth and it's not warm there half the yr, yes they pay a 30% winter range penalty vs say a 10% for an ICE? Seems OK with them. How often do they go over 250 miles at a stretch anyway? Stop to pee and get a coffee or snack and you'll have another 200 miles in the 'tank'. Very soon a 25 to $30k Tesla will be available and it will be a far better drive than anything in that price range and instead of paying $30 or $40 to fill it up it will be 8 or $12. Combine that with no oil changes, no transmission, minimal servicing of any kind and it will absolutely be the poor man's choice once those hit the used market at half the purchase price. Charge time for better brands is roughly 30/40 min for another 300 miles at a Supercharger, going to 15 minutes a few yrs out. Right now charging at home is a problem for most apartment dwellers but that's an easy fix, just some slow chargers in the parking areas, it will become very standard bc it's cheap small footprint way to expand the potential customer base and much more useful than the swimming pool or gym they probably offer already. Many businesses already offer free charging, chargers will be along curbs, workplace parking, etc. Toyota is dragging it's feet and going to be in a bad place by the time they accept the inevitable, they'll have no competitive software capability nor battery capacity and Chinese, Euro and American brands will be eating their lunch. Toy. has done well with the vastly more complex hybrids but they are horrible to drive if you've experienced a fun car and they will soon be more expensive in everyway. DOOMED. BIG respect for frugality and utilitarian, but I'll be damned if I'd ever own a Prius and suffer it daily...if I can afford a choice. Often overlooked that Teslas are the safest cars ever made which is a priority for many and at least a consideration for any sane person....I expect other OEMs will close the safety gap fairly fast, not so much for electronics, software, motor, battery, overall design efficiency and performance, even mfg efficiency. We take for granted over the air updates for Tesla but who else can even do THAT well by now?
    1
  12611.  @andrewmeehan6151  1M this yr is a stretch, it will require faster than expected production from Texas and/or Berlin plus a fast ramp of new versions of X and Y from Fremont. Without the supply chain issues, particularly chips, 1M would probably be a done deal. Back in 2014 when they were producing about 25/30k per yr Elon was showing off the new S on Wall St. and casually predicted that they'd probably hit 500k by 2020. One smart Street money manager emphatically remarked: "'That's absurd it implies 54% growth rate, NO COMPLEX mfg with market cap of $2B plus has ever done that!'" Absurd perhaps but despite the pandemic they delivered 500k last yr. while all the rest were losing their ass.
    1
  12612.  @andrewmeehan6151  They won't need much fixing other than crashes which will trend toward zero with autonomous. That's one of the big advantages over ICE but also why legacy MFGs and the archaic dealership biz models will struggle. I don't need to look up anything, they sell everything they can build. The "Busted growth story." and "The competition is coming." are half decade old standing jokes. Not a bubble for TSLA tho it is for others in the space who haven't even delivered a solitary vehicle. I understand well why you and others think that, just like 60 Minutes back in 2002 speaking with a confident Amazon executive: "Amazon is worth 20% more than Sears !??!" (stated with all due incredulity) It took me near a decade to get my head around Tesla, it's one of the hardest to grasp and that's why it's such a massive opportunity, you might see it by say 2025 and that's fine, it will STILL BE A BUY by then. I'd bet you a friendly $100 that TSLA is double by Aug 2022, no telling on such short time frames naturally, but a 10X in 5 to 10yrs all but in the bag. The CCP is a big risk for the China market but that will be diluted with more and more factories everywhere else. (assuming they don't build several new factories in China, which if not punished by the evil regeme, would make sense) Don't forget the forces against them from fossil fuels to the entire establishment of services, dealers, OEMs, plus most media as Tesla is the only one who doesn't pay the bribe, they don't advertise whereas GM, F and the rest squander some $2B annually to pay off corporate media and convince silly customers to buy their products.
    1
  12613.  @andrewmeehan6151  That's average across all sales, yes higher end versions are more profitable as you'd expect. Production/deliveries should be some 850k, possibly 1M this yr. and probably 2M next yr (pardon such common knowledge)....tho not every yr over yr will be 100% growth rate of course, but easily 50% plus, foreseeably....leveling off toward 20M presumably. Many things about Elon's enterprises are "too good to be true". Everyone in the space industry globally scoffed at landing rockets vertically and reusing many times, but now they are all scrambling to duplicate it as SpaceX is capturing some 80% of the global launch market next yr...no one can compete at this point, not even close. Some customers are occasionally using older launch systems just to keep them in business.

If he's paid he will be upfront about it, I think it's about actually wanting to see for himself what if anything worthwhile is going on there. Also for some popular YT content, by now his channel must be becoming significant for his biz and I think he has grown to enjoy it and the celebrity attatched. Any deliberate deception will be very damaging if not total destruction of his standing among viewers, customers, etc. That doesn't mean he can't be wrong or fooled tho.

Still the CT needs to improve on charge spd and range, it will to some degree w over the air updates. It will get better in everyway w OTA updates, they always do. How often do U tow? Most don't at all. Someone has to buy a the cheesy chrome plastic grandma's grocery getter PUs, ie., all brands not Tesla. Go for it, choice is good.

Here's some late "bread crumbs" (truckload of loaves really) that should raise red flags like hell. FBI spent 3 yrs on pet project to bring T. down via the Russian Collusion thing--turned out to be a complete FARCE. Remember that? They found NOTHING ON HIM, Zilch. How about the FBI sitting on Hunter's laptop for a yr knowing it was real then priming all Establishment media and social media that it was "Russian disinformation" when they expected it to be revealed? Fucking CRIMINAL election manipulation. Are you OK with all that? How about the Twitter Files? Astounding revelations in those. Did Establishment media convince you it's a nothing burger? They were in collusion with the censorship and cover up all along! (with notable exception of NY Post)

  12793.  @LongDefiant  N. Korea is what you want to sort of emulate maybe? In a society of free individuals--individuals have RESPOSIBILITY for themselves. Is that a foreign concept to you? Sure it's always a matter of degree, no such thing as "pure" anything but anyone (with ave. health and intelligence) can achieve wealth in America today or anytime in the last half century, it's just easier now than ever. You don't see a Tesla or Space X revolutionizing the entire world coming out of Nanny States, there is a high price for socialism.

  12794.  @ryanwilliams3857  The big problem in the USA is failed education system dominated by socialist tendencies resulting in financially illiterate population. They don't even know it's feasible to personally save and invest, to put their OWN CAPITAL to work for themselves. Astoundingly irresponsible that 60% don't even have a grand set aside for emergencies. Also the completely obsolete notion that college is the only way and anything that get's your hands dirty is looked down upon, stigmatized. So tradesmen are earning well over 6 figures, "your plumber will drive a Porsche". Low skilled jobs should only be seen as entry positions not typically careers, require old fashion frugality to get ahead...but of course that's true at any level. Seems monetary self discipline has also been forgotten.

  12812. Normally I'd tend to agree, but it hasn't worked in this case. Reforming tort law would help, currently health care provider will cover their asses legally via excess, unnecessary testing. Paying for outcome instead of rewarding the highest possible investment in a given case is certainly a big part of the problem. It's like our military hardware procurement system, that's set up to reward massive cost over runs and that's what we get naturally...that's where our weapons contractors get almost all their profits, of course they are going to drive the prices as high as possible! Doctors are spending HALF their time doing paper work that they can't delegate! That's INSANELY wasteful and makes many Docs regret going into the field. As usual it's complicated and I certainly don't claim to have all the answers but the above are some good starting points. I don't think this video addresses the bulk of the problem. Solving it would be far better than a massive tax cut to the wealth (and health) of Americans. Our system is so inferior to those of most of the rest of the rich world that I might support simply adopting one of the best examples available at this point.
    1
  12813. How about the fact that we pay by PROCEDURES instead of RESULTS? We incentivize excess testing and expensive MRIs, etc. Plus tort law also promotes the same excesses.

I remember some of the hyperbolic fear mongering about Reagan--"He's a dumb cowboy likely to start WW3." Etc. So it's not new. And Arnold S. "turned out to be better than expected." Yeah because expectations were set so low by propaganda media. And even Leftists don't have much bad to say about Reagan today. I too favor an "outsider" baring someone like Rand Paul as a viable option.

Still don't particularly like Trump but absolutely support him. Unfortunately--short of abolishing many alphabets, CIA, FBI, DHS, NIH.....it won't be enough. He won't likely achieve any of that but he may hold the line at least. We need something like the FBI and certainly some significant minority, at least, of operatives are good valuable ppl, they can be salvaged for a replacement agency. (as an example) But it's too far gone at this point to just reform it, so it seems.

My question/challenge: can we incentivize via government for even more ppl to move, the wisdom of doing so, plus the cost. WHY do you seem fixated on getting Americans to leave? Is YOUR TRIBE try'n to take over?? My family has been almost 'everywhere' (continent or major country) other than Antarctica, but a close friend went there 32X....China, USSR (right during the revolution by chance), Japan, W. Euro, N. Africa, Mex, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Brazil many times, India, Nepal, Australia, Turkey....off the top of my head.
    1
  12831.  @TimBitts649  Sounds like you've been well indoctrinated in leftist BS. I started off busted broke, built my own biz the hard way on a shoe string via earnings from an underground mine where I worked endless double shifts as a laborer/mechanic, and eventually flourished, you presumptuous prick. How are you going to "encourage" Americans to go to a third world country to work for peanuts? Pure fantasy without MY tax dollars subsiding it and I'm not going to happy with more such ill-considered socialism squandering my hard earned wealth.
    1
  12832.  @TimBitts649  Not to be insulting but it's ridiculous to "encourage them to go elsewhere" --and do what? Peddle vegies on the street for $2/day? Why would they have any special value there if they have a degree in something not in demand anywhere? Unfortunately many US universities have become scammers to one degree or another. There has been a 'shortage' of the ppl in the fields mentioned for decades and apparently $200k salaries isn't enough (nor should it be if one doesn't have the passion for it). Yes supply and demand ultimately will balance unless the Left get's it's way. One obvious tactic is simply (as suggested by others) attach a 'green card' to the diplomas of tech field graduates. We educate them here and send them back to China or where ever way to often. A tangent: also long term shortage of trades ppl and 6 figures readily available there--we have foolishly stigmatized such jobs for decades in America, for those not controlled by stupid status there is massive opportunities there.

  12833. ​ @lauranolastnamegiven3385  My approach is different, for one we are all wrong all the time about some things. VERY smart ppl are as vulnerable to propaganda as the dumbest. Have two sibling professors, tho I haven't talked to them about this in yrs, U can (sadly ironically as it's antithetical to academics to be monolithic) guess which side I expect them to be. My dream convo would be to demonstrate how manipulated we've all been, that they need to completely overhaul their sources of information and be pissed off at being misled. Hell of a stretch given how deep they are likely infected with TDS. Yrs ago called out my sister when she said "I could never respect anyone who votes for T." Pointed out that the rancher's who hired her son she liked so much-- likely based solely on demographics, were Trumpers. Back then I had a little TDS, still makes me cringe a lot tho I support him like no one ever before. He didn't do squat to drain the swamp but he sure revealed the depth and breath of the cesspool. (Vivek Ramaswamy or Rand Paul be my better picks but that's hypothetical) I want a F'n wrecking ball in DC.

The issue here is when we apply the morality of an individual human being not if an egg is alive. And a freshly fertilized egg is no more sentient than a skin sample, they are also equally self sufficient, meaning not at all. So YES it's equally rational to apply ethics to every egg and sperm cell as to a freshly fertilized egg.

Boeing and Lockheed literally laughed at his notion of landing and reusing rockets, until he reused rockets and cut orbital access cost by 10X. He's quite hardened to it all long ago.

  12930.  @Ketowski  HA! My bigotry while U judge others by lazy group labels. U are funny. Your entrenched presumptuousness rules your shallow views. How about some evidence for said bigotry child?

  12936.  @Ketowski  Life isn't fair, some are born beautiful and brilliant others dumb and ugly. Are U suggesting we should "correct" for that? Life isn't entirely fair, get over it. Yes we should strive to make it more fair but not by cutting down those we envy, most of whom U don't even know, it's childishly presumptuous to assume you'd be happier in their shoes when U have no clue what their struggles are. A smile might represent self disciplined obligation to the world instead of happiness. I loath those who project their struggles as anger to the world, sounds lk you might be one of them. Monopolies are illegal for fundamental reasons, the application of enforcement is flawed, but that's a tangent. Presumptuous seems well ingrained in your mentality, you have NO IDEA where I get my views.

  12937.  @Ketowski  Ever notice how the likes of Robin Williams self delete? He had it all, right? How about big lottery winners typically self destruct? They too had the poverty mentality, assuming money would solve all their problems without slightest thought for all the NEW problems created they were completely unprepared for.

  12938.  @Ketowski  You just made my point. You actually think they are somehow fundamentally different? U think life is easy for anyone? Get an F'n clue, EVERYONE STRUGGLES. You might see a handsome mid age man whisking down the freeway in a half million dollar car and think: "That guy has it made." U don't know if he's considering steering into the next concrete overpass abutment to self delete, U don't know anything about him.

  12939.  @Ketowski  Ever heard AOC or Elizabeth Warren use "billionaire" as a pejorative? They wouldn't do that if it didn't resonate with a significant chunk of their constituencies. Nonsense class clashing is everywhere. Proposals for 'billionaire tax', common man assuming they know the character of a man based on exceptional wealth is a constant theme. MANY are infected with the ridiculous notion that one person's gain is another's loss.

I remember when hippies had slogans like "Question Authority", today Left and Authoritarianism is synonymous. Once they believed in freedom of expression, now it's censor everyone they slightly disagree with. And where was the ACLU during shutdown insanity, they used to fight for The Constitution no matter how unpopular. Also bought by the Left I'm told. Leftist open bigotry rivals the KKK today.

  12963.  @BruceWing  What was the agreement between spouses in question? It's not up to YOU to decide the nature of someone else's relationship. Open marriages are a thing regardless of your appreciation or respect for such.
    1
  12964.  @BruceWing  You need to know exactly what promises were made and what they may have evolved into over time. If there was no deception, if there was permission from all parties, then no ethical violations. I doubt you'd look down on divorcees, they presumably violated vows too, nothing lasts forever. And not all couplings or marriages have exclusivity vows. All the GFs I've had, dozens, never have I explicitly agreed to exclusivity, it may have been assumed, I may have tolerated no less but it's her job to request or require that status and it's up to both of us to immediately disclose "extracurricular" activities if they occur. Simple.

I see them as STILL instilled with fear and controlled by old propaganda when by now we know masks do little against viruses and should have known all along that anything short of an N95 worn properly, rarely are, is just symbolic. At this point--symbolizing a tool of hysterical Establishment media, as such, the enemy of everything good that matters. Frankly they disgust me, don't even want to look at them, and I normally engage in friendly fashion with everyone around.

Don't think that's likely, read few books on him, 25 yrs of video interviews, lol...on and on. He won't abandon Tesla easily but if shareholders don't solidly reaffirm?...gut punch to Elon and could be taken as vote of no confidence. He was ousted as CEO of (Zipp2?) while on his 1st honeymoon, he didn't burn it down he accepted, worked with the team and retained value. NOT stupidly vindictive. He still owned a chunk of his 1st big venture. Smart investors are invested in Elon 1st, Tesla 2nd.

Right now we are voting on a dozen Tesla BOD (board of directors) recommendations including moving inc. from corrupt Delaware to TX, and of course reaffirming Elon's compensation pkg. Sadly we don't know how vote will go, passed by wide margin in 2018 but things have changed and some amoral idiots think they are smarter than Elon or this is a referendum on his political views. IF BOD get's the votes then the appeal process is stronger AND, equally crucial, move to TX means we can (presumably) vote compensation for Elon without Marxist judicial interference in the future. But current case must be seen thru in dogshit Delaware.

It was overwhelmingly passed in 2018, but a lot has changed and we don't know which way the vote will go, sadly. If we reaffirm original pay pkg it strengthens case for appeal process. If it fails it's sort of a rejection of Elon as CEO which is tragic for Tesla and the stock. Unfortunately--seems some "investors" (quotes because some are stupid) are amoral enough to make it a vote on Elon's politics, NOT on the sanctity of the contract-a DEAL IS A DEAL, PAY the man!

  13059.  @appleforever6664  WTH? Petroleum isn't going away and the vast majority is burned as fuel...the price of petrol is a tiny part of the cost of a tire or plastic part. Doubling the price of oil might increase the price of a plastic part by what, 5%?
    1
  13060. That's a silly assertion, the petroleum cost of plastics and tires is trivial compared to vehicle operating cost associated with petrol.

  13064. Cheaper petrol will tend to slightly reduce Tesla profits but they can't make 'em fast enough even with unheard of production growth rate. In a few yrs used EVs will be the poor man's only choice with 5X lower operating cost.
    1
  13065. NatGas much more in the US. But an ICE get's an ave of what?...35MPG? Teslas get around 120MPGe. That's a huge difference and along with other factors makes them some 5X less expensive to operate. Many with homes are or will soon charge off their own roofs.
    1
  13066.  @jasper4365  You can get an approximate idea just by comparing purchase price of ICE vs EV cars with otherwise similar specifications. Everything including oil consumption is priced into a new car, EVs are more but not that much more. Tesla's budget is a separate thing, prices of everything go up with oil to some extent. But obviously there is more EV demand with higher gasoline price, that can mean T. will further increase sales cost as they already have persistent excess demand, wait of about 10 months for new buyers.
    1
  13067. That difference is made up for in around 30k miles with EV like Model 3/Y getting 120MPGe. And as batteries are recycled the diff will largely go away PLUS EVs (some at least) will be 1M mile cars instead of 200k/250k mile cars.

  13068. UK made tragic mistakes with Islam including the treacherous adoption of "anti-blasphemy" laws, that is a sign of submission, beginning of the end of individual liberty across the board. Everything short of accepting 'Islam or tortuous death' is blasphemy to these folks, they should be forced to adopt Western principles or move to a theocracy. Tolerating intolerance is idiotic, how else could it go but how Winston describes it.

  13072.  @technoloverish  Where did I suggest bulling or disliking? I've even dated obese women but didn't pretend they wouldn't be far more compelling if bothered to be athletic, or just semi-fit. It's a given, need not be mentioned unless in an encouraging productive fashion. "Let's go for a swim" or a hike, walk in the park. (or F like Rabbits if appropriate, HA!) Be compassionate to everyone but don't excuse, reward or admire failure. Being in horrible physical condition doesn't make a person despicable, like--say being a predator or thief.
    1
  13073.  @technoloverish  NONSENSE. If obesity was genetic it would have been as common 50 or 1000 yrs ago as today. It was NOT. As recently as 1970's American obesity was very rare, maybe 1% and properly stigmatized as it's a CHOICE. Do you look down on drug addicts, drunks or even smokers?? SAME THING. Have compassion for everyone but don't admire failure.

Ironic as it all is--Silicon Valley, in the heart of Leftist stronghold, is also the most capitalistic place anywhere in terms of creating new businesses and even new industries, Apple to Tesla and hundreds of others keeping America a strong leader in technology. Cali has the economy (GDP) the size of Germany with half their population. We produce a big slice of total US agriculture output and big chunk of GLOBAL innovation.

    1
  13152.  @_rob_.  That Elon is selling optionally IS clueless, where the price goes from here short term is anyone's guess. (yes he could have gone $8B indebt instead but who wants to do that?) He had roughly $7B income tax to pay and was already $1B indebt. The Street long ago expected him to sell 5 to 7% to pay his taxes and still remain broke, so he sold a little more, paid MORE taxes and was left with a couple $B in cash. What's unique is how ALL IN he's been, definitely would go down with the ship if Tesla or SpaceX fail. Can you name another CEO so exposed to their company's future. NOPE!

The Mach E is a good 1st effort and the Bolt is good for $25k but they can't come close to even building it for that. Can Ford make a profit on the Mach E and can they produce it at scale? Neither of those offer the same value before incentives as a Tesla, not even close but some will buy them anyway no doubt. Later when they realize they get far more for their money many will chose a T. next time. Obviously there is room for many players but both F and GM are drowning in debt, legacy obligations, union paralysis and toxic culture, snail pace innovation and so on. Good luck to them they'll need it.

I'm generally in favor of free trade, big exception for such as Rare Earths which China dominates to the tune of 90% of global supplies and has and will use as a weapon. Li batteries and precursors to lessor extent. BMW, Merc and other legacies fell out favor for Chinese because they fell behind on technology and value. Tesla still a top choice.

Every half-smart nation courts international investments plus China needs a lot of outside raw materials from oil to Australian iron ore. Tesla has China risk but there are always endless risks, take the smart ones or die in paralysis. Those risks are currently diminishing daily as German and Texas plants are getting built. Could be another Tesla China factory coming tho, and they continue to build (double?) Shanghai plant. Tesla ain't stupid either. If we get hit by a KT size asteroid all bets are off anyway. :D

  13213. Nope. The Twits are so mired in fraud and deception that the deal might be called off, it's not that Elon doesn't want Twitter, he does, it's that the initial agreement was based on lies about how many real accounts vs bots and one individual with 100 accounts, etc., effects the valuation.

  13214.  @AB-fi5jt  Call me an Old Fart. My first chance to vote I couldn't decide between Carter and Regan as hard as I tried, I flip-flopped right into election day. So I didn't vote at all as it was coin toss for ME! Carter didn't represent me and RayGun scared me (liberal media) nothing but a B level Hollywood actor....oh...and prior Gov of California....not a genius but a good guy. But Carter was/is always a 'good guy' too, in hindsight they were two decent choices with some apposing ideology. It was and should have been 'close'. That's an anecdote coated with a veneer of history. The point is--never easy nor ideal. It's on US ALL, be informed and active or don't gripe. :D

  13215.  @AB-fi5jt  If it's 20/80% you have a problem, one didn't even belong in the race, when it's near 50/50 it means one is not perceived much worse than the other. Ideally you'd have two fantastic canidates, that would predict a rational, near 50/50...but the same goes for 2 crap canidates. hahaha NO reference to recent reality implied. :D

  13230. Of course it won't be close to Model 3 aerodynamics and yes the sharp corners will hurt it, not just the top but the front and rear. The actual Drag Coefficient remains to be seen as that cannot be determined simply by looking at it, conventional modern pickups have achieved surprisingly decent drag numbers, around 0.4. If the Cybertruck had great drag coefficient I imagine they would have mentioned it. I thought the single motor version was supposed to be first? Anyway it's good to see more interest in higher end units as they surely will be more profitable.

  13233. The ONE area Cybertruck will vastly beat traditional trucks on aero is the underbelly, this is typically overlooked and where much of total drag comes from on exiting vehicles. Better quality cars have had aero undersides for decades but not trucks.

  13235.  @rcpmac  Private enterprise didn't do that alone now did they, most likely they'd have projected the cost decrease in PV, it's been well known for decades. When cost discipline is absent, as it always is with tax monies, this is typically the result. Same goes for California's hydrogen fuel fiasco and any number of other examples, the worst being corn ethanol disaster which won't end until gasoline is obsolete. Less government interference the better.

For NOW they need to prove they can produce a semi without significantly reducing payload due to extra weight, that will be a big step. A short range plane maybe, like 30 minutes maybe an hour of flight time. Some of us fanboys get carried away on what's even possible let alone about to happen.

    1
  13254.  @TwoBitDaVinci  Thanks! I sort of realized that plus extra hardware. My immediate interest is 2 to 4X plus powerwall cap for service truck. Likely not viable to use Tesla products at this point, I need 3-phase 440 inc. One day they'll offer a job site series for trailers and trucks to replace noisy dirty current gen sets. Worth $20k easily to me if high cap. Far easier than a car but as long as they are batt constrained it's probably a non-starter.
    1
  13255. I don't get why it's some $9k for such limited storage compared to a vehicle battery of similar cost.
    1
  13256. I'm considering a batt pack for my service truck, it would stand in for a 20 to $30k diesel gen. I need multiple output options including 440v 3-phase AC. Anyone have any expertise in this area?
    1
  13257. Yeah they really screwed the pooch in recent yr.s in multiple ways. (I'm in NorCal) Including triggering fires that burned down our neighbors towns although those disasters were going to happen one day anyway given the conditions on the ground, lack of proper land management.

  13259. First 90 seconds enough for me, more nonsense than I can stomach. I get the backlash against retarded virtue signaling mandates and such, that does not make an economic case against BEVs. I still love my old BMWs, particularly E92-M3 which I hope to run for many more yrs, it's essentially a replacement for 'crotch rockets' of my youth, it is NOT economical, I wouldn't recommend it anymore that a motorcycle. But I do recommend a T. Model 3 or Y to just about anyone. You really can't compete with 125MPGe with an ICE, I will never buy a new ICE again, just don't make sense anymore. Get a Model 3 for some $35k USD without government incentives in the USA, vastly superior in everyway to a Corolla, RAV4 or anything else in category. All the raw material costs are included in that price, that's 1st reality check on the assertion that "we don't have enough resources" for BEVs, all the metals will be endlessly recycled, Li, Ni, Cobalt, etc. No shortage what so ever for Li or Iron which are the primary elements of best, cheapest currently available batt cells. So if you are emotional about car drivetrain types and just want to feed your confirmation biases, channels lk this are for you. If you care about reality--go elsewhere.

Greenspan was spectacularly wrong about at least one thing as he alluded to here, but what was that?!! These Bozo commutators and the crowd of kids nodding in stupid agreement don't know nor care, and they certainly don't know squat about Ayn Rand either, just that they have been taught to hate her. Have they read AS? HA! Don't even know what that is I bet....Ayn was fantastically brilliant and, like her friend Greenspan, right on target about some things and ridiculously *wrong about others. Welcome to the real world kids, it's almost always complicated.

  13265. wasilaify Sure there are absolutes--absolute idiots, Christian know it all's who know NOTHING, etc. You, for example, can't learn anything from anyone when you already know the answers before you ask them. You don't know what it's like to be certain other people. I'm guessing you have been directly or indirectly infected with toxic religious culture. What YOU feel and think is not necessarily correct. I have been with a prostitute who obviously enjoyed herself and she was a much finer human being than you seem to be, a very complete woman. (more than one actually, but only one who would label herself as such) And don't pretend we don't all pay for sex in some way at some point in time, almost all of us have. Try tuning in and actually listening and learning from others instead of projecting your all knowing superiority and preconceptions on the world, you will be amazed how much richness and complexity there is to experience. All you are doing here is revealing your own limitations and simplicity. Where do you get your certainty on this discussion? Do you have a master's degree in human sexuality? Are you a psychologist? Have you interviewed hundreds of sex workers?

We have a pitched battle going between Leftist blanket support of faceless unelected unaccountable buearacrucy and Constitutional Republic Democracy, which shockingly - only the Right seems to care about at the moment.

  13283.  @Stressless2023  I was actually thinking about the Chrysler concerning your lack of trans issues, not impinging you on the Acura :D I believe there are two major autotrans mfgs that Toy and Honda use, one much better than the other, I think it was H that fell short in that dept, IDK for sure. There are a lot of good trans options today, I had difficulty deciding between manny and dual clutch semi-auto for the E92 M3. Dual clutch performs a little better in every metric including fuel economy with 7 sp vs 6. The extra complexity and potential maintenance leaned me toward manual but ultimately I just couldn't imagine NOT having the third pedal for that sort of car NO one but me will ever drive it, hehehe. Plus a trusted mechanic on, hopefully rare, occasions. The fact that many don't even know how to drive it is a small bonus to me.
    1
  13284.  @Stressless2023  Yr model and your own driving style and so on, all make a big diff. There have been many poor automatic trans from all over but Toy usually gets it all right. I've never owned anything but manual rear drive anything and never had anything worse than an oil leak in 40 odd yrs except for lunching an input shaft from running a trashed clutch too long. Did preemptively rebuilt a couple personally in my youth but probably unnecessarily. Sounds like you do fine. I don't spend a lot on cars as a rule either tho my BMW M3 is bit of an exception. But that's sort of a replacement for the "crotch rockets" of my youth, not something I'd recommend to others.

    1
  13293. You don't get it. They have a several yr. backlog already, Tesla needs to PRODUCE CARS! What they didn't produce last quarter MATTERS. It's the key metric right now The demand is far beyond their ability to meet it already, "the market will grow" is meaningless if they can't begin to meet current demand and so far they can't. (I have high hopes going forward but 'hope is not an investment strategy') There are well over half a million pre-orders for the 3 and so far they have delivered a couple thousand. They need to hit 5 then 10 thousand per WEEK to get your 3 in three years if you order it today. Are YOU going to wait several yr.s for your car? It's well understood that they offer a great product but that means nothing if they can't get them out the door by the hundreds of thousands. Missing projections is normally devastating to a stock which is the context here, it's stock market news. Tesla gets a massive, perhaps unprecedented break on Wall Street in this regard because no one takes the over optimistic, 'ridiculously ambitious' projections literally and because TSLA is a cult stock...the base of stock holders love the product and the Musk Mission (so do I) and don't seem to care about the risk or valuations. (I care about all of it)

I could care less if he has direct skin in, he does indirectly in a big way, sorry if you can't grasp that.  But ultimately he is useful, informative in some fashion or not.  You don't know how to benefit from him then DON'T bother with it.  If it was a given that any stock(s) would double in two years, the opportunity wouldn't be there in the first place.  SHEESH.  Get real. Did YOU double or triple your dough on the FANGS???  A lot of others did.  I only got in late and only had conviction in GOOG and FB, they are up nice to very nice in less than a year.  NFLX I could never understand so I never put money on it, missed it and that's ok.  AMZN I believe in long term but only trade it a bit due to extreme valuation....I will buy for medium to long term one day I expect. Lagging indicator?...again...it depends, look at the FANGs two years ago to later 2015 when he stopped promoting the group but still behind the G and the F to a limited extent.  Again he's been right on target for those. And I could make a list that makes JC look brilliant or retarded depending on cherry picking his best or worst calls.  If you think ANYONE is going to be more accurate then a Long Range weather forecast with stocks your far too simple for the stock market.  Stay away, it's for responsible adults only.
    1
  13301. tcampbell2186  Yeah he's often wrong about a particular show featured stock but he has been right on target concerning those that he has persistently focused on again and again.  Had he convinced you a little over a year ago to get into FB, GOOG, NFLX and AMZN when he first promoted them (if I remember correctly), you would have done very well even though the market as a whole was flat for the year. I just added substantially to both my FB and GOOG positions just a few days to hours before they reported earnings and gained 18 and 11% respectively since then, hard to beat results like that...in part due to Cramer's input although the timing in this instance was the result of other sources.   Cramer has backed off on those four above in recent months as they have run up so much last year but he was sure right to push them in late 2014 and the first half of 2015.

  13302. +Alexandre Milandro One bad call or even a hundred does not define a man who expresses that many opinions on the average day. Only idiots think ANY prediction is a sure thing it is up to you to sort it out and take responsibility for your decisions and sources. He pushed the "FANG" group hard for the first half of last year, far harder then anything else he talked about, and you would have profited exceptionally well being long that group over over that time frame. One could select only his winners and make him look like a genius or just his losers and make him appear to be completely inept, either conclusion is damn foolish.

  13312. IS Tesla a car co? Some good reasons to think of it as a tech or an alternative energy and transportation company. The electronics and battery technology on the Model 3 are apparently miles ahead of anyone else in the biz. The 3 did NOT simply leverage S and X batt tech, they improved it significantly. The 3 has major room to improve structurally/production efficiency just by using common industry methods. All the car and truck companies 'that matter' will be offering competitive options soon, Freighliner claims it will trounce Tesla semi, on and on. I believe Elon welcomes all comers, he's man enough to compete or fail on merit, he wants to transform the world more than have Tesla survive...good for the world more than the stock, HA! Always two sides to any trade. I've done well with FB and NVDA prior to this yr., one always needs to check their reasons for betting long or short so these sort of discussions are important to me even if one of the guys wasn't quite up to the job.

  13323. Walber Macedo An aside--I don't even want "runflat" tires as they compromise performance and add costs, and for what? That one or three flats per decade that I already have a good solution for? No thanks. I favor some models/yrs of smaller BMWs for example, (own an older one) they adopted runflats and initially trashed the suspension behavior then adapted the suspension to the compromised tires. Now the suspension is compromised for proper light wt. normal tires. Even if the concept in the vid did not have the fatal design flaws I mentioned above, there is for certain a big price and weight penalty to pay for those wheels. Weight is the enemy of car performance and the wheels are by far the worst place to add weight. More mechanical complexity is a negative unless well justified and the more things you try to make it do the less proficient it tends to be at any of those tasks. I want my tires to be optimized for low resistance, high G capabilities for acceleration, breaking AND cornering. And to be affordable and long lasting. That's enough to ask from tires. Have them go sideways is guaranteed to compromise all the other features. There is a darn good reason you don't see high performance road cars (or motorcycles) that are also superb off road. Inherent compromises are unavoidable. It's one or the other. Let alone a boatcar or a flying car,...that's an extremely expensive car, a very expensive plane and it will NEVER be great, if even decent, at either flying or driving. They have been attempted for 3/4 of a century only to prove that point.

  13324. Oiseau Denuit My idea? For those who find parallel parking such a problem which I do not: A) learn how, if you can't then you probably shouldn't be driving anyway, B) purchase a newer car with automatic parking features. Can you not see the obvious sever problems with this set up in the vid? It necessarily has thin round tread making for a relatively tiny contact patch on the road. But the main problem would seem to be extremely limited lateral load capability, dangerously so. And it's an inherent aspect of the design. It's sort of a cute but ridiculous solution to a minor problem that's already been solved in a far better and cheaper fashion. Maybe there is a place for it on some sort of machine but not on a normal car or truck. I would bet money that you will never see it on the market for autos.
    1
  13325. Nice to see new ideas but this looks like rubbish. Imagine the slightest lateral G loading on that setup, can it turn at ALL without going sideways? I doubt it. Parking is not a big problem for me anyway. First and last we will see of this concept.

Amazing the power of simply repeating a mantra endlessly, it becomes imbedded in the common consciousness as factual no matter how false. I blame parents brainwashing their young children with religious nonsense as the first exposure, practice to such non-thinking behavior. Once you establish rhetoric as a substitute to reason it's easy to apply it other places. We use the term "religion" as a pejorative any time it's not our own religion , including regarding climate beliefs, we all inherently know it's to be disrespected.

There's never been a time in my 60 yrs where reality wasn't sacrificed on the alter of revenue, drama, fear and/or politics, nor a time when reporters knew or cared anything about science. The data, trends, charts, comparing various greenhouse gasses, etc? Consensus is not science even when it's "scientific consensus", such consensus is wrong all the time, it's just a matter of degree.

  13354.  @flackstar007  I don't think there is much of a problem to start with, very localized in any event. It's not as tho there is any change to the salinity of the oceans as a whole. Mixing it with sufficient ocean water at discharge might fix local issues.

  13360.  @ryankraft9897  Do you really think the ocean levels will drop due to desal?? Yes or NO? Quit being obstinate and learn something.
    1
  13361.  @ryankraft9897  Here's another way to look at it--the desal plant created fresh water soon returns to mix with the brine in the ocean just as tho one were to (pointlessly) mix the manufactured fresh with the brine right out of the plant, zero change in ocean salinity either way. The point in the vid is that the brine may not mix well immediately, becoming stratified AND the runoff (evaporated or whatever) fresh water may not be local to the desal plant causing differences in salinity, not differences in average ocean salinity overall.
    1
  13362.  @ryankraft9897  Your innitial comment stated ocean salinity would increase, that's not the case.
    1
  13363.  @ryankraft9897  Do you really think the ocean is getting shallower from desal?? It isn't. Only two things can increase salinity, more salt or less water. All the water taken out returns to the sea one way or another, the level is NOT DROPPING, and no additional salt is added. So what's the potential issue here? Relative concentration near the brine discharge, that's all. YES areas around plants will be higher, (assuming runoff from the extra fresh water is not also localized which it may well be) NOT THE AVERAGE salinity of the oceans as a whole.
    1
  13364.  @ryankraft9897  Desal has ZERO effect on average salinity, it doesn't increase it AT ALL.

  13385. Reality always gets complicated ALL by itself! Cramer has only praised the cars, but he can't value TSLA, it's just too hard and too risky. You can love the product (the cars) and/or the CEO but still shun the stock. Don't go long or short TSLA is Jim's advice, which is good as it's professional trader/investor territory. Or a small speculative bet IMO, for "retail" investors.

  13386. Have YOU shorted TSLA?? If not then please STFU!
    1
  13387. Cramer has been consistent. Always praised the cars but recommended viewers to "stay on the sidelines" for the stock...it's just too difficult to value. Don't buy it nor short it. Professional trader/investor territory, or IMO, a small speculative bet for retail investors. Cramer has also always both praised and made fun of Elon as he does here. You understand the difference between loving the product and CEO versus loving the stock? Too very different things.

  13388. Are you so simple as to see that bit as dissing Elon OR Tesla? He was both praising and making fun of Elon. You must be a Fangirl who can't grasp complexity.

  13389. Cramer certainly doesn't "fight Tesla", he has always praised the CARS and both praised and made fun of Elon as he does here. He just can't recommend such a risky, difficult to value stock. One may love the product and the man, the CEO, and still shun the stock! Life ain't simple, nor are people or stocks.
    1
  13390. Gosh some folks are SIMPLE, Cramer has both praised and made fun of Elon (as he does here) and he has only praised the CARS. It seems you Tesla Fangirls can't grasp complexity. Sorry folks, life ain't simple, Elon and Tesla are NOT simple.
    1
  13391. Rational Thinker Cramer has consistently praised the product, the CARS, he has both praised and made fun of Elon as he does here, EM is both worthy and deserving of it. I bet Musk would greet Jim with a smile, high achievers like Elon Musk are not normally petty simpletons. Jim has been consistent in advice to "Buy the car if you like the car, don't buy the stock. But don't short it either." GOOD ADVICE because unless you are a pro trader/investor, it's just too hard to figure out and too risky to recommend. Cramer has also driven the Model S of course, and had nothing but good to say about it. A yr. later--I am again considering a small long position in TSLA, could be a wipe out or a home run. If YOU have a strong opinion then put your money on it, talk is cheap, go long or short TSLA. I would tell a friend to buy GOOG, AMZN, CRM, ADBE, FB, MSFT, NVDA, or others instead of TSLA. One of my nephews is a Elon fanboy (I am too!) so I may buy him a tiny bit of TSLA. :D Loving the product, the car, and/or the CEO, does NOT mean you love the stock
    1
  13392. Diego Almora Possibly. I assume you have put all your spare money long TSLA then? Talk is cheap. Cramer has always praised the car but (properly IMO) advised to avoid going either long or short TSLA, and he has both praised and made fun of Elon as he does here. You can love the car and the CEO and still shun the stock, too very different things.

  13393. The Tag Market My god, how old are you? Don't you get tired of yourself regurgitating the same mindless BS for decades?? I heard the same crap rhetoric about the "BIG BAD OIL COMPANIES" since the 1970's, it's getting old by now. Cramer has only praised Tesla cars!... and both made fun of and praised Elon but advised to avoid the stock. Elon earns both praise and criticism, I personally love the man. The stock is a different thing entirely. You can love the car, the mission and the Man and still shun the stock. To complex for you to grasp? This is a stock show in case you didn't realize.

    1
  13396. @pointoftranquility Hard to think of a yr when marginally smaller "corrections" haven't happened. But memories are short. This time it's been the predictable implosion of the BEV bubble (look what it's done to Lucid, Rivian and the rest) plus China Covid, recession, inflation/high interest rates, etc. I care about the fundies and tho Tesla margins may well be trimmed for a yr or 2, we'll be fine, while the rest of the industry is whacked as they are drowning in debt and can't afford to reduce minimal margins. Tesla will emerge even more dominant. Tesla energy is just beginning to become significant, completely ignored by most everyone as it's been trivial previously, it's even more recession resistant as E-utilities provide unlimited demand for batt storage, similar for the semi truck...on and on.

  13409.  @hddun  I'm of similar vintage apparently. A high school friend had access to his mom's early Honda in '78 and it was also remarkable for how quick and efficient it was compared to the garbage out of Detroit. Yeah it was tiny but it sure had it's place. Remember how little we had to choose from back then due to trade barriers to subsidize Detroit largess and laziness? Big 3 was NOT enough competition and still isn't. Very grateful that we have so many good options today. And why not be "proud" of what Japanese or Germans offer, are we so primitive and tribal that we can only be proud of something that originated (if only in design) within some arbitrary borders?
    1
  13410.  @hddun  Anecdotes aside yes H. and Toy. set the reliability bar, prior to some crappy auto transmissions, etc. I wasn't thinking about trucks but mainly econoboxes...utilitarian. Trucks are only good for two things--off road and hauling a load, most I know use them as such but for most Americans they are grocery getters and simply a fashion statement. Tesla is an entirely different animal altogether, very pleased to have finally gone long TSLA starting early last June after watching the drama from the sidelines for yr.s.

  13411.  @hddun  Honda and Toy produced the most reliable utilitarian vehicles of all time. Do you suppose that had something to do with it? And when were the Takata airbags recalled??...10 or 15 yr.s after car was sold? I'm not sure they follow through on cars that old. Did they report the same for BMW and all the other brands that also had airbag recalls?

ONLY so everyone can see that YOU have the new model so YOU must be better off then others when more likely you are simply hamstringing your future.

They are NOT. Someone elses entitlement becomes MY BURDEN, I won't be a slave to anyone's wants or needs. It won't work unless universal poverty is your goal. Working hard was never enough, you have to be productive , become difficult to replace, god forbid even creative and take risks! You can work hard going in circles or attepting to compete with machines, or by doing a job that a kid can learn in a day....all recipies for poverty.

But they didn't get there by living beyond their means as it sounds like you are, live poor to become rich and THEN live a little more rich. Minimum wage is for kids and those just entering the workforce. NO EXCUSE for being stuck there, YOUR CHOICE, own it.

You'll need to invest 100 to $250k in equipment (requires yr.s of living a spartan life with no luxuries) which you will maintain on own along with billing, collections, looking at jobs all on your time and expenses out of pocket. You'll need to build a substantial savings account bc when anything goes wrong your income will go to negative. Sound enviable?
    1
  13434.  @Hypohair  You SURE CAN! It will take several yr.s of often frustrating building of basic skills and you won't like any of it unless you are quite unique. Then a decade on the job experience (at least you'll be making decent change by then) often intensively exasperating situations exercised with maximum self discipline in some conditions you probably haven't fully conceived of--in direct sun at over 110 deg. F. dressed in heavy protective gear, clinging to not much 100 ft. in the air (tho not often) or in spaces so tight many would panic. In the winter maybe laying on your back on ice and slush. It's typically dirty and hazardous and disrespected by ignorant society. No glory no prestige except among coworkers and customers. Still want to sign up? I earn every goddamn penny but you don't need a Nobel Prize for it. PLENTY of demand for it as long as I've been around.

ALL became more trouble than the were worth well before I got my moneys worth. Washer was especially problematic with expensive special detergent required, probably cost me $100/hr as little as I used it. All the fussing, filling, cleaning unit and still did lousy job. By now maybe they are even practicle and powerful enough, but I need to use one myself and not about to buy after old experience where there was little improvement over time.

Elon AND Tesla are rightly controversial, he's a 'genius' and the cars are great by all accounts but that does not necessarily mean TSLA is a good investment. If you are going to invest you better be open to both sides or get your head handed to you.

  13480. What was "negative" about it?
    1
  13481. Yes but a BIG diff between the company and the STOCK, Cramer only got fully behind the stock some $60/share mid 2019. Fortunately I happened to switch to believe in TSLA in 2018, tho I long believed in Elon and his enterprises I had to see mass production succeed...backed up the truck from $38 and never looked back. HA!

  13486.  @PassportGaming  If you look at the chart he was only several months later than optimal for the prior 6 yrs. But if you go back to the IPO--yes in hindsight we all should have been in it. However, before mass production was proven and they were perpetually on the edge of going under...it was just to risky for most of us.

  13491.  @Economivision  Your expecting nearly a 4X crash? Anything is possible but I made a modest fortune betting against that sort noise since $38. It was the increasingly shrill shorties that gave me the final dose of conviction to bet against them. I expect at least a $4T market cap before 2030. And although I timed my entry with intense focus I don't expect to repeat such an alignment of factors ever again....timing the market is generally a fools errand.

  13494.  @Economivision  Yes it was still very vulnerable at that time. I had to see successful mass production 1st, didn't load up for long term until May 2019. How about you? But you said it was 'destroying itself' which was silly even for that moment. It was still roughly on Elon's 2014 target of 500k cars delivered in 2020 and doing plenty otherwise right despite the struggles. 1000X?? Only in the minds of those who hadn't followed the story closely, MANY called it correctly and profited handsomely! That's what has supported the stock all these yrs.

(pardon my lack detailed understanding) but it seemed to work well. Always a doctor would treat a patient without regard for ability to pay going back to the 1st legit docs in the 19th century. It's human nature. I'm a hard core free enterprise, individual freedom, as far as is practicle, proponent (I don't want the right to a granade launcher or to dump nuclear waste on "MY" land), it's always a matter of degree. Free markets are absolutely indispensable, NO Tesla spear heading low carbon transportation without it. Obviously... private police, military, courts, etc., don't work, toss in prisons and maybe healthcare. As clumsy and inefficient as government appendages automatically are--we can't live without them. USA like all nations has a lot of work to do. Still a ton going for it, just ask Elon. :D

I can dig in the dirt at all hours, call in truck loads of wood chips, scour the internet for info and ideas on endless plant types. And when I want some thrills I can take out the wonderful BMW E92-M3 on some mountain/canyon roads. I don't think disagreements makes us enemies, some of my smartest most loved and respected friends even support the Catholic Church and Trump!! HA! It's complicated, that's life.

  13502.  @erikeggenbakstad  NOT farm per se, but many in the US, Australia and other places are into creating our own "food forests" (don't like the phrase but its commonly used). It just means we pack in a lot of eatable plants, anything we can grow and like instead of vast useless lawns or pavement. I'm just a hobby home gardener but intending to become as self sufficient as possible along with simply creating a place you want to BE. It's a lot of work but it doesn't feel like work, it's more of a "useful escape". I have a real job, lol.

  13505.  @caseydorn3309  Dude! Quit projecting on me. I'm one of the happiest folks you'd ever meet. I will do most anything to assist an individual struggling to succeed, to prosper and achieve any worthy goal, nothing unique it's human nature to help. If there is a selfish side to it, it's that I gain a little when others gain a lot. I love to see success around me and I DO! But when I'm told "equality = justice" in the context of wealth, I'm going to push back. Equality under the LAW absolutely. Income tax within limits, fine. Yes we all rely on public infrastructure, justice system, etc. But when I'm hearing "you have too much we will confiscate most of it", something to that effect--damn right I'm going to react harshly. Wealth is created by people before it can be extracted from them and we better not forget it or there won't be much for anyone or anything. Forced economic equality = poverty for all, you can't force someone to create a Tesla company, you can't even force them to do a good job tending a farm field without terrorizing and beating them constantly. Some degree of 'socialism' is necessary but when it becomes: "From each his ability TO each his need."....the definition of Communism, forced "equality", you have created hell on Earth. It may sound good on the surface to those who haven't thought it through but humanity is far too good for it. The best and brightest will become examples of mediocrity, you won't even know they are out there.

  13506.  @caseydorn3309  YOU don't get to decide the distribution of the fruits of my endless efforts. Nor do the masses if they side with you. THAT is why we have a constitution of fundamental individual freedoms. There are no human rights without individual rights in a society of individuals. I will fail to produce if it kills me rather than be victim to those I rightfully loath. I'm a caring considerate compassionate thoughtful man, don't push me into becoming something else.

  13508.  @StefanReich  If you succeeded in outlawing money it would be replaced by just about anything. But let's imagine your dream state was so repressive as to somehow eliminate even IOU notes, at least when you come to confiscate my produce it will take a truck and I can make sure it's all rotten, distribute spoiled fruit and potatoes to the lazy. I won't be a slave to your toxic ill considered ideals and the rest of your kind will starve long before I do. Those of us who create wealth will trade between eachother and let you looters die, sure we will be far poorer too so that will make you 'happy' I suppose.
    1
  13509.  @StefanReich  Yeah? What did I win? So you think we should be forced to trade without money? What always happens when a nation collapses along with the local currency is ppl create their own currency. It was packs of Kent cigarettes for some yr.s post the Soviet Socialist Republic implosion for one nation, I believe it was Bulgaria. Money has nothing to do with inequality, I have no intention of giving the fruits of my labors to the undeserving. Be it dollar or peaches. I created them I'll decide how they are distributed. Inequality is justice to some extent. I suspect you'd be content to make everyone destitute like your dream state the USSR....everyone (except the leaders) were equally poor.

One may love the car, the mission and the Man and still shun the stock, it's just too hard to value TSLA. Cramer has also consistently advised to stay out of TSLA, don't go long or short. Good advice as it's professional trader/investor territory mostly.

Drove worthless econoboxes, had no TV, no toys no sterio, all my savings, time and energy went into it. Eventually it paid off, in a sense it pays off almost immeadiately from the experience, confidence built of taking on more than you know how to finish but figure it out as you go and get it done reasonably right, learn a ton. Under bid things and bust your ass long hours for free but still deliver a quality product, and so on.

  13523.  @shrenp.1313  What IS the root of money? It's providing goods and services to humanity, generally essential to existence, otherwise enhancing health and happiness. Profit means producing more value than the required inputs to those ends, not only GOOD but essential. Externalities, the environment in particular, are not well considered by the market place alone unless the consumers demand it as they sometimes but not always do. That's why the necessary evil of government, as lousy as they inherently are, the ultimate monopolies, must play a crucial roll. It's YOUR direct decision in a relatively free market, to decide the trade offs, to be responsible for the broader consequences of your choices and consumption. Would you go to work for no profit? Would you consider it "good" to spend as much to do your job as the job paid you? Get over your indoctrination and think for yourself as hard as it is.

  13524.  @y0nd3r  I take back the college assumption, pretty sure there's not one in existence that has Econ 101 teaching your willful ignorance. It's worse than that--any 7 yr old can understand that doubling the supply of dollars while GDP stays constant (for example) will double prices of everything. Common sense. Correct we have nothing to talk about if you insist on such dishonesty. You can fool yourself but not escape the consequences.

  13525.  @y0nd3r  OH! So greedy corporations just happened! I thought they always existed yet prices were controlled by competition, inflation, etc. (see the blatant flaw in your regurgitated lack of thoughtfulness?) At the risk of presumptuousness--let me guess, you've learned your entitlement and Marxist ideology from Leftist universities and public schools? I don't owe you a job nor even an existence nor does anyone else. Better get used to self responsibly as when your ideals turn us into Cuba, USSR or N. Korea--you'll be on your own struggling to survive anyway. Right? You can't loot wealth from a society that doesn't allow the creation of wealth.

  13526.  @y0nd3r  The prices of everything going up is 100% due to reckless irresponsible government spending, insane unscientific shutdowns and so on. Why don't you start your own business? With your attitude I seriously doubt you are worth a dime more than you get. What value do you add? You can make yourself very difficult to replace and THEN you can right your own ticket. That's capitalism and it's vastly superior to any alternatives ever devised. Meritocracy IS JUSTICE.

The weathering should also be key, I'd guess it's been exposed for 10's if not 100's of thousands of yrs, not likely coinciding with all the other megalith structures which were presumably (tho debatable as far as I know, not accurately dated) post last glacial max around 13k YA. I've seen many big slabs of granite in the high Sierras where the glacial polish is still very well preserved, apparently not weathered at all in 12k yrs. Tho possibly the polish itself retards weathering some, granite is tough stuff, other than tumbling in a river, dragged in deep ice or spalled from intense repeated fire, nothing seems to change it quickly if it's free of cracks.

  13581. @oldguy10010M Have you tried it? I know I wouldn't touch opiods unless absolutely necessary and for as short a time as possible or end of life scenario. To be on it long term is begging for trouble. My brother recently had a hip replaced, of course they gave him perscrip for opiods, he did 1/2 of one dose and switched to CBD which worked fine for him. Contrast that to a young acquaintance for whom both of his parents are physicians, both encouraged him to use O's for his back injury (details I don't know but almost all of us 'injure' our backs at some point and it's a physical therapy and self healing issue where pain is a key ingredient NOT TO BE COVERED UP, it informs us of our condition and limits) he certainly wasn't crippled by it but he ruined his young life on the drugs.
    1
  13582. @oldguy10010M What if all of the above including yourself are addicted to it? And what if CBD does it better without that risk? It's not about punishing anyone but the PUSHERS, in this case big pharm. If you have a serious time quitting for a day you have a problem beyond just pain I'd suggest. Renaming heroin and making it legal doesn't make it OK all of the sudden.

  13583. Some big Pharm Co.s need to be sued into oblivion for pushing opiods. We should also probably ban all drug ads. A brother took one half of one pill post hip replacement then located some non-intoxicating (CBD?) pot to get thru the next few weeks, no addiction issues with that.

If it's in deep space very far from any significant mass how would that work? What would it push against? Seems to me it would have to be manipulating the space it's in which would also allow it to not 'feel' the extreme accelerations too, accelerations that otherwise would tend to destroy most any materials it could be made of based on apparently moving almost instantaneously to new location--extreme velocity to a stop and visa versa. (I'm agnostic on these things but it seems something real is going on)

  13642.  @markdoan1472  --a few fun facts: I used to be concerned about Tesla long range semi being compromised on payload due to batt mass, a few % loss of load cap is a big deal there, that looks to be solved now and they will be able to get an extra 400 miles (out of total 500 range) in about 30 minutes charge time. Not an issue when a driver is mandated breaks anyway and unlike diesel the driver need not be there, just plug in and walk away. Even if that were not the case a big market exists for shorter range. The economics should drive huge demand but obviously it will take yrs to ramp production, charging infrastructure, etc....but it's happening. BMW announced a reasonably compelling car also with cobalt free batts but as with all competitors it won't be of comparable VALUE to Tesla's cheaper options. Competition is good tho and there will be plenty particularly from China. Not everyone will like Tesla tech over say a Polstar 2 which is very good and comparably priced tho with range and charging limitations. Sweden and Norway have the highest EV adoption rates on Earth despite some 30% range/efficiency penalty in winter months, that's going from say 120 mpg equivalent to 80 or 90 mpgE, quite compelling still. Naturally there will be fringe cases where petrol will continue to dominate anyway but it's not stopping Canadian's much so far. For many going from a 400 or 500 range to 300 or 400 is not a big deal. (those ranges are near future mostly, not common today but soon enough) In a few yrs there will be a good $25k Tesla option which will be the kiss of death to economy ICE cars. Meanwhile Porsche's best seller, by far, is it's only EV model, a pricey toy no doubt but a hint of the future.
    1
  13643.  @markdoan1472  Did I not except airliners??? If your info is from last yr you are out of date. FAR more cobalt is used for refining gasoline than for batteries and batts don't even require it. Ni is also optional depending on application. Large quantities of Ni will be required for semi trucks but cars will do fine without it and 90 to 98% of all the metals will be recycled endlessly. Hybrids ARE stop gap. Heavy equipment, farm tractors and such will probably be last to convert (tho very small excavators and such are already better as batt rentals) but semis are next in line and will be far less expensive to operate. Again--you are NOT UPDATED, it's NOT a static situation, vast improvements on the order of 50% over several key metrics including mass and cost are already being manufactured by Tesla in small quantities soon to be in massive quantities.

Yes because of the Leftist machine has taken over media, social media, FBI, DOJ....no mention of the violent Leftist Insurrection when Mr. T. had to retreat to the bunker when the Leftist thugs attacked the WH, burning down the guard house, crashing the fence injuring many cops....FAR worse than anything that happened on J6 but forgotten as it didn't matter to the corrupt Democraps. Embrace the end of the Republic with a single party Leftist Tyranny. Get ready to be locked down indefinitely.

  13690.  @Don.M.  How do you know Rand's work? Have you read at least one of her books? I hear a lot of simplistic second hand opinions that are completely ignorant of what she stood for. Rand's system works for ANYONE who is willing to WORK. (meaning--being thoughtfully productive, not running in circles or victimizing others) It works for me and everyone I've ever known, even unfortunately dumb ppl...not a pejorative just a condition a few were born with. I know nothing about Candace but I'm fairly certain she understands that much. Being "born rich" is a severe handicap, a challenge most are not up to. Take a look at the typical 'Trust Fund Kid'. I pity them. I know it would have been very bad for my early adulthood, I had to struggle and am far better for it...not necessarily better than others but better than I would have been. Character and confidence must be EARNED. Smart wealthy folks DO NOT pass it on to their children except in special circumstances like the family business or farm/ranch that the child has earned via strong interest and participation, vigorous consistent fruitful effort over many yrs.

  13691. You haven't read a scrap of Rand obviously, so I'm guessing you have been indoctrinated by the Marxist "educational system".

  13699. A tangent to the points made:  I often hear the likes of--"Communism looks good on paper." As mentioned above as an example.  No it doesn't, it looks like a road to hell.  "From each his ability TO each his need."...that's Communism in a nutshell and it means that the bold, self disciplined, hard working and capable become slaves to sloth, the timid and lazy.  It punishes the best in proportion to their virtue and rewards the worst in proportion to their ability to con, cry and beg.  The results are predictable.   I commend the points made however even tho I'm much more a Sam fan then a Norm admirer.

  13719.  @Birabiro_2000  Yes we have to resist the temptation place blame right now. One thing I know for certain--Boeing and every airline operator of the 737 Max are ALL over this, in constant communication and doing everything they possibly can to get it figured out and make sure they are operated safely meanwhile. One of my brothers is a veteran Mechanical Engineer for Boeing Airliners and they intimately dissect every incident that has happened in recent decades to ANY plane (including Airbus) to learn all they can and implement that knowledge...it's how airliners became so astonishingly safe in recent yr.s. For me (also an engineering geek) it's a terrifically fascinating series of events typically with multiple contributing factors both human and system, although pilot error alone is sometimes to blame this looks more nuanced. I can't let go of it until I understand it to my satisfaction. Plus BA stock has been excellent as the company has executed in the last several yr.s., I sold it Monday and will be looking to rebuild my position slowly. (not to sound callous to the human tragedy, lost a couple brothers in my rural area in the last one) But we have to be patient for now. Pardon me caring on!
    1
  13720.  @Birabiro_2000  Your initial post presumed Boeing was at fault. Likely there is at least a bit of truth to that in terms of MCAS and training for it. But the first Max crash seemed (from some accounts) to be utter incompetence in the cockpit, as tho they were extremely drunk. First they took off without authorization from the tower, something you NEVER DO, then they failed to identify the situation, failed to turn off MCAS, failed even to scan the instruments in front of them apparently as they completely miss judged the attitude of the aircraft and exacerbated the situation by rolling into instead of out of the already steep bank angle until they were in an unrecoverable dive. In addition to all that there were reports from previous flights with the same plane of some issues probably the result of attitude sensors (AOA) that either should have been replaced or that particular plane grounded until sorted out but the previous pilots managed to handle it fine. So faulty maintenance and flight operation standards could also be primary contributors. As for the latest crash we just don't know...for both crashes the final verdict is not in. Does that make it prudent to ground the entire fleet? Maybe but how many folks will drive instead of fly which is orders of magnitude more dangerous than the worst airline record of the last 20 yr.s. More driving guarantees more fatalities on the road.

  13736.  @Starlesslemon  It's a relative term especially depending on local conditions but anyone in America can accumulate $150k in a few yr.s if they really want to. Yes it requires more than dumb labor, entry level job but only a modest investment in one's own productive potential plus monetary discipline can do the trick. The diff between wealth and poverty is 1st, foremost and finally a state of mind.

It's possible that he'll have court battles concerning government spying access that they are accustomed to doing across all social media. So he may not get his way 100% but he'll sure as hell try to make it right in everyway. He sees it as essential for continued existence of democracy, and I believe he's correct. Taking it private means he'll have near zero interference from private interests.

    1
  13746.  @falloutboyisitachi  Prove it? You might want to rethink your childishly limited perspective, you didn't even know who Elon was 3 yrs ago. Right? Elon pisses off many--surely was cancelled by many Regressive American Leftists with his criticism of the Dems over last yr. Too bad for them. Long time Elon followers and fans roll their eyes at some of his comments, they don't fall in lockstep. Get it? Similarly I have thumbed up every vid on this channel even tho I disagree with some and recognize it's very biased, it's STILL a great source and perspective. Foolish to get your panties in a bunch over some Elon comments that really have negligible effects.

  13747. Yes and no, there was little to gain and everything to lose by criticizing the CCP. Not the same for Commifornia where some freedoms still exist. Everyone already knows Zero Covid is insanity. His open opinions on that wouldn't change a thing for the better and surely bring massive pain to Tesla.

  13748. No defense for a few of Elon's comments here--HOWEVER providing Ukraine with $100M of Starlink internet hardware (free from SpaceX, donated) starting only days after Russian K.O.ed the internet there, arguably much more impactful than some questionable opinions which everyone is free to dismiss. Russia threatened Elon's life for that BTW.

  13786.  @bear4278  U think it's inconsistent, "wrong" for Thunderf00t to short TSLA if he really believed his rhetoric? I don't. He doesn't really believe his own claims. Gains him cred if he puts money where mouth is as long as he's open about it.

  13787.  @bear4278  Wouldn't entirely argue about SMR, but Thunderf00t is a conman, smart enough but... go back several yrs if you dare, compare who was more prescient about Elon and Tesla. SMR made fortunes on TSLA, thunderfoot did not. (unless he's even more dishonest than I suspect)

Too bad it's been dismissed as inferior and disrespected in recent decades, although for SOME good reasons--not good to be selling one's health which is sometimes the case, tho not as much anymore. (won't be long before humanoid bots take over those jobs, while mostly good, IDK where men will be created after that, maybe rock climbing. martial arts....being a cop or soldier....) Those working conditions are character building, wish all young men could experience a couple yrs of some sort of difficult, potentially unforgiving hard work.

I normally have my wallet stuck between the passenger seat and transmission/drive line tunnel (I like rear drive manuals) and I do put that away. I don't want anyone dirty or sketchy but most folks are fine and very grateful for the ride. The worst experience I had was a guy who stunk so bad I let him off early. It feels good to help and I know exactly what it's like to be stuck on the side of the road somewhere. It's MY understanding that the American FBI fabricated the notion that it was dangerous to hitchhike or pick them up, they managed to set the tone for decades about a risk that never actually existed,...presumably to get back at the Hippies in the 60's, sounds unlikely perhaps unless you consider the vitriol between "establishment" and these renegades who challenged everything in particular law enforcement abuses. Hippies were the predominant hitchhikers back then, some traveled the nation that way while the rest used it as an emergency option if your car broke down or whatever. Us kids used it to get to and from town a few miles away or home from school if missed the bus, etc. I developed a simple strategy to get rides quickly,....and don't even try after dark.

(naturally prudence required shoveling some roofs as they were approaching max load if we got more snow, and manually clearing walks, driveway, what kids are FOR) Dad a geologist scoffed at the idea of glaciers growing out of the E.

  13878. A little perspective required here. By far the worst fires in US history were around a century ago and many tree species cannot exist, can't even reproduce without fire including redwoods, it's an unavoidable essential part of the natural cycle and landscape, however--we have not allowed them to burn frequently enough as they historically did (natives burned annually) so the fuel builds to catastrophic levels.

  13888. Good question. These things get regurgitated so much they 'become true' without checking. The primary problem is the newly imposed lack of frequent fire, natives burned it off regularly and now we allow decades of fuel to build and this is the result. Many native tree species including redwoods cannot exist without fire, that should be informative.
    1
  13889. Frequent fires in the USA are not optional either, we have to get back to that, Native Americans burned it annually and many tree species cannot even exist without fire including beloved redwoods!

  13890. WAY past time to murder Smokey Bear that asinine simple mentality is a BIG part of the problem here.

  13959.  @poweroftruth9258  "Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death."(Exodus 21:15 NAB) Have you murdered your children lately? How about some more reasons to do so::: "But if this charge is true (that she wasn’t a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father’s house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst." (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB) "God Will Kill Children The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered.” O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don’t give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, “All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children.” (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)

  13994.  @JohnMichaelGodier  Going to college late '70's to 1980, JC and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, it was popular among students to be emotionally anti-nuke plants and the local Diablo Canyon plant in particular.

  13995.  @JohnMichaelGodier  Fusion seems like a long way off if it can ever be economically competitive on Earth. I welcome the efforts anyway. Yeah I remember some of the anti-nuke hysteria from decades ago. Highly biased in favor of Tesla, but unless you live in a very remote area, the infrastructure is plenty good enough by most accounts. Naturally many owners haven't needed a public charger in yrs and really enjoy not ever going to a gas station, just plug in at home a few X per week or daily. If you road trip much then it becomes important and there's a small learning curve to use it effectively, but very rare one must wait for a stall. Charging speed is a bit of an issue but rapidly improving. A top up every 200 plus miles is a welcome break for many, 15 to 30 minutes and, variable but say $8, and on the road again after snack and pee. But if you like to drive nearly nonstop for 10 hrs--ICE will still save you an hr. The fuel savings makes T. Model 3 the cheapest late model car you can operate in USA today. (probably also true in Europe, much of the world, but not China) Teslas are also the safest cars ever made by a wide margin, both in a crash and, increasingly, by avoiding crashes. Purchase prices are very compelling now and will continue to get better and cheaper. All the noise about battery elements environmental issues are way overblown, and they will be endlessly recycled like ultra high grade ore. Tesla has also essentially won the autonomous race with no contenders in sight. They'll license the tech to other OEMs, but for now and several yrs forward--that's a big factor, many folks don't want to live without FSD anymore now that it's suddenly become so good, major de-stressor even supervised. (there can be exceptions and older versions could be extra stressful, but the path is clear now) Know a guy who, ironically owns several gas stations, NOT a Tesla fan but has money and a Model X. He says he can't manually keep a car between the lines well anymore and likes to do anything but drive while "driving".

  13996.  @JohnMichaelGodier  Maybe I'm missing something but the Fukashima disaster was entirely avoidable immediately after the flooding, to my eye. Ignoring the design failures like backup generators in the basement. Megawatt backup gensets are ubiquitous for many industries, hospitals, etc. Rental yards have them. Heavy lift helicopters should have been able to fly in diesel generators, crews and supplies to wire them up in a matter of hours, or a day. Yet none of that was even attempted?? They had a couple days battery power if I recall correctly. That disaster and Chernobyl, another unforced series of errors, largely responsible for anti-nuke sentiment in recent decades, in my view. Maybe you've already done your thing on nukes, that's a worthy topic for near future. Including thorium if that's viable. I'll have to delve into your glacier catastrophe ascertions at some point, simply don't have the background to have an intelligent opinion on it one way or the other rt now. Looks like we will need some 3X more electric gen in next decade or two, and the grid upgrades. I expect to be personally (neglecting my share of 'unavoidable' outsourced consumption perhaps) self sufficient with roof solar, batteries and EV car(s), in a few yrs.

  13997.  @JohnMichaelGodier  Much appreciate your time and effort. Had misgivings about mentioning any particular character like Gore. I'm non tribal by nature, was 'on his side' back in the day, but all that is, as you suggest, irrelevant to the reality we are attempting to determine here. My understanding is current sea level rise is only some, say 30% higher rate than it was 150 yrs ago. (without exact numbers at my finger tips) Hardly overwhelming to civilization for next 150 yrs. Will it increase or decrease over that time frame, I don't think anyone knows. My mention of YD catastrophe was 2 fold--one which you addressed and the other about all the supposed tipping points. Be it seafloor methane hydrates or whatever, surely proposed tipping points would all have been triggered if they were real. Perhaps some were? I'm not sure we could have terminated fossil fuels any faster than we have been without causing mass poverty, and poor ppl can't afford to think about next week let alone decades forward. Fossils have saved what's left of our forests and the whales, at least sperm whales. We'd have consumed wood for fuel like poor regions of Earth today burn any tree limb they can find. The good news is that fossils days are numbered, free enterprise and tech is showing us the way to abundance without additional carbon emissions. Yes it will take decades, but EV autos, for example, will dominate new purchases in a few yrs. ICE cars will be obsolete before worn out. I celebrate energy source transformation even tho I still suspect more CO2 is better than less. Going renewable (or at least nuclear) is obvious necessity and cleaner air is already happening. USA is long past peak coal and now at peak oil consumption. Evidence that atmospheric CO2 is more a consequence of climate change than a driver of it: many examples--when CO2 is minimal at same time ice is maximum, albedo is max, should result in permanent glacial max or "tipping" into snowball Earth. But that's not what happens. If climate models were worth a damn they'd predict all the changes back in time, they do NOT. I don't think we can know, at this point, what the next 50 yrs looks lk. Or even to what extent carbon is a factor. I share your concern about Antarctica but not your alarm--conceding your far superior specific knowledge on the particulars you presented. Naturally much more to it including increased precipitation in many regions. I champion MORE skepticism toward authorities in general. Recent pandemic didn't need to be devastating as it was, for example, had the skeptics not been canceled and censored and authorities allowed to trample our basic human rights. Similar goings on with climate science, playing out over decades instead of months. Youth of today really believe, 'half' of them, that the world will end for them in 5 or 10 yrs, due to climate apocalypse. Very unhealthy unnecessary religion with only one upside--they'll be very cynical 20 yrs from now. lol. But they'll regret not having a family or career, or just not taking better care of themselves, due to hyperbolic headlines and prognostications. (((pardon caring on way to long!...loath long posts)))

  13998.  @JohnMichaelGodier  The obvious and most essential question that seems to never be asked--what is the "ideal" CO2 level and why? What's our target? We don't even have a clue what to aim for. To assume preindustrial 280ppm is somehow ideal just because we didn't effect it, is simply religious level nonsense.
    1
  13999.  @JohnMichaelGodier  The IPCC agrees with none of that. Not that consensus is science, it is not, but that's an organization without a purpose if not for CO2 effects and they put some work into it. They predict trivial economic impact this century. If anthropogenic CO2 was the driver of climate (it's a bit player) how do we explain the Younger Dryass, or the repeated glaciation of the North? On and on. Will it prevent the pending glacial max? That's a hell of a lot scarier even than sea-level rise. (my assumption is NO) Recent glacial maximums have dropped atmospheric CO2 near mass plant extinction levels, extremely dangerous, flirting with the end of everything good that matters. Al Gore won a prize for predicting the end of Artic sea ice by 10 yrs ago, we hit a 20 yr max just recently. (nothing to do with sea level, just a reason for cynicism in the *one true narrative*) So far CO2 increase has been a massive benefit to Earth and humanity, greening the planet, rendering plants more drought tolerant and significantly increasing crop yields. At what point has CO2 done about all the thermal insulating that it can do? Painting a window twice doesn't necessarily block twice as much light. We started taking temp measurements at the coldest point in the last 10k yrs, 1880's. Remember the "coming ice age" fear in 1960's and '70's? There was a reason for it, slight cooling trend from 1940ish to '80's. CO2 fails to predict climate history, it correlates to medium time frame trends (100's of thousands of yrs) but apparently follows temp changes as much as leads them. 40X more CO2 in the oceans than atmosphere, colder oceans holds, removes more from air achieving treacherous low levels in recent glaciations, 180ppm. Fear the next glacial max more than melting.

  14001.  @JohnMichaelGodier  You must have ton more data on this particular ice flow than I, and don't want a debate here any more than you do. Respectfully--at this point, I don't believe it. Concerns me, but as one who was lowkey climate alarmist since mid/late 1980s. Lived thru too many doomsdays. Delved into climate data and science a number of times this century-raw data doesn't support the alarmist narrative, and even less so, the CO2 component of that narrative. We'd be conducting this experiment even if we somehow returned to 300ppm, nothing magic or intrinsically good about that arbitrary value. What IS the target? Last 2.5M yr, half the N. Hemisphere under kilometers of ice most of the time, horrific climate. Don't expect next glacial max to be much effected by increased CO2, but slightly de-risked. I can make the case for 600ppm beats 300. But we just don't know. Climate has been terrifying long before humans. Thanks for response!

  14002. Supposed "tipping point" requires a brief explanation. We've been hearing that dubious racket for 40 yrs. Why didn't it "tip over" during Medieval Warm Period, very recent, which peaked 1.5C higher than currently. Or especially the YD only 12.5kya, an hr ago in geologic time, when temps swung 12C in a matter of decades. Default for ALL climate alarmism is dismissal until compelling explanation and evidence suggest otherwise. Much appreciate your work Sir!

  14020.  @billybillson9831  Sure it includes a lot of future into account, but overall (other than the uber bulls) consensus is still well behind potential.

  14022.  @billybillson9831  Jefferies latest upgrade (base case PT $1400) of TSLA is on point with some compelling new-to-them insights. And yet they still significantly underestimate the performance expected by LT bulls like myself. THAT is why there remains significant upside in the sort term--next few yrs. It's a familiar scenario where Street analysts one after another time after time upgrade their expectations. They still have a long way to go after only taking Tesla seriously in recent yrs.

  14023.  @billybillson9831  $10 to $20T market cap this decade is my expectation, again going a hell of a lot deeper than your scratch on the surface analysis.

But with Elon there is so darn much disruption coming that I make a one off exception and literally say that one bets against him by not betting ON him. You'll see what I mean later this decade

  14024.  @billybillson9831  I've made a modest fortune only by going a LOT deeper than that and expect to double or triple it before selling just enough to build a new house in a couple yrs without trimming my snowball much. Even if it's flat for 5yrs I'm financially independent. (with a new paid off home) The exact same arguments have been made against TSLA since IPO, they were more valid 3 yrs ago, or anytime, then today. TSLA will continue to outperform it's just getting started. You would have (or did?) make that same case at any point in time, yet you were wrong. Instead of excess confidence maybe it's time to learn WHY HAVE YOU BEEN WRONG SO LONG.

  14026.  @Fx_-  It's ironic Elon is even one of the richest ppl, he doesn't give a crap about personal wealth it's just a tool to tackle some of the most vexing important challenges on Earth. Not many yrs ago both Boeing and Lockheed literally laughed at him for proposing to land and reuse rockets which is an absolute game changer. (how much would it cost to fly if you scrapped the airliner after every trip?) Tesla is the ultimate underdog story, NO ONE else could have seen it thru all the yrs of barely staying alive with everything arrayed against them and NOW they've literally changed the entire global automotive industry trajectory....obviously I could go on and on. It's ludicrous to say but objectively, IF one is in markets--it's reckless NOT to have some money riding on Elon the greatest creator of wealth an prosperity AND making the future better that we will ever witness. But some ignorant emotionally controlled morons still find irrational reasons to bash him. F__K the losers and gain along with him...I sure have.

For all the "kids" today: This is what I grew up with, NO you haven't seen the worst times in America by a long shot, but we lived, hiked in the mountains, worked hard and vacationed, thrived as best we could just the same in more dangerous times, but much better than the decades before the '60's. We had couple easy decades prior to 2008/2020, did you expect that to be normal?

  14044.  @guthrie1181  The serious crime rate is half what it was 20 plus yr.s ago in the USA, the more secular a society get's the better it is in every way. YOU might be less happy but that's your problem and another failure of your toxic religion. The Bible endorses slavery, maybe you should read the goddamned evil text. The anti-communist hysteria was NOT about fear of an economic system it was because they were "godless commies", I remember it well. So we murdered 2 or 3 million innocent Asians and wasted the lives of 100's of thousands of good American men. Why be so lazy as to acquire your morality from some Bronze Age barbarians when secular methods are vastly superior?? We don't even allow stoning a child to death for misbehaving slightly or murdering your daughter for not being a virgin on her wedding night and all the endless horrific mandates in the horrific Bible. High time for humanity to out grow dogma entirely. All religions are potentially toxic and most manifest as such. It's NOT helpful to believe that you can commit almost any conceivable crime and be forgiven as long as "you accept JeezAss" as your savior. No wonder theocracies create hell on Earth just like when the Vatican ran Europe--pure HELL they propagated and would today if they had their way.

Harmful waste can't be a showstopper, I'm not up on the options there but can't see why the key elements aren't recoverable. Li batteries are high grade ore when they are used up, a car batt pack worth on the order of $1k at the wrecking yard. (highly variable depending on chemistry and size naturally) It may be that solar panels are going to cost more to recycle than the constituents recovered but I can't see why it's a BFD.

  14058.  @tylerpeters2624  Petroleum as a fuel is already on trajectory to obsolescence, demand has likely already peaked. This science project won't have any effect on that. Yeah there are worse uses of funds but we have cost effective alternatives including fission. And there are a few private fusion experiments going on for a tiny fraction of this grandiose contraption's cost. Since it is taxpayer funded it must be scrutinized and debated, those funds could do a lot somewhere else.

  14060.  @Vento-rb4ho  Final point--saying "not by this method" is recognition that other approaches exist. Saying one method won't work anytime soon says nothing about the likelihood of other methods. Logical fallacy.

  14061.  @Vento-rb4ho  Everything involved here, at this level of discussion, is based on simple arithmetic which is still apparently beyond your capacity. Storage solutions are vastly cheaper, quicker and easier than fusion. GOOD LUCK, not interested in this thread anymore.

  14062.  @Vento-rb4ho  "Been established", by whom? Meaningless. The solar footprint I mentioned is simple arithmetic, entirely doable coupled with storage. NOT debatable. Do better than "it's been established". The Establishment is wrong about most things.

  14063.  @Vento-rb4ho  A few hundred square kilometers of solar panels in Nevada could power the entire USA today, small chunk of that state, so yes solar can power the world alone. Do similar in the Sahara desert for Europe, etc. Plus all the roof top space available. (not that one would have it all in one place, just perspective) Obviously solar not the only solution but it could do the job alone cost effectively. These fusion science experiments will not be part of it this century if ever. At least not the way they are doing it here.
    1
  14064.  @Vento-rb4ho  Solar continues to become the cheapest ever electric source while batteries dramatically drop in price and improve in energy density. Right now fusion's price per watt hr is near infinity. That's a big problem, seriously doubt it will ever be cost competitive, sunlight is unlimited too.

  14068.  @xxwookey  It's complicated enough that no climate models work Explain the Medieval Warm Period, equal to today's temps, the Little Ice Age we are perhaps still recovering from. How about the Younger Dryas 12 to 20C temp swings in a century or 2?? In places like Norway and Switzerland mountain passes are now being uncovered by receding ice that were last passable in Roman times. Yeah they were ice free back then too. Get the point?
    1
  14069.  @xxwookey  IF CO2 was the driver of we'd never escape a glacial max which have repeatedly (as best we know will continue to repeatedly) devastate half the N. Hemisphere over last 2.5M yrs, bc that's when albedo is at a max and CO2 is dangerously low, below 200ppm. We'd simply become "snowball Earth" and stay that way. And if CO2 dropped to around 150 to 100ppm, as it might in a snowball Earth scenario, that would be the end of everything that matters as all plant life would go extinct therefore almost all animal life with it. And where does the CO2 go? Oceans contain 40X more than the atmosphere, warmer oceans hold less colder oceans absorb it.
    1
  14070.  @xxwookey  What caused the Younger Dryas when temps swung 10 to 20C in a matter of a century or so. What caused the Little Ice Age or the Medieval Warm Period which peaked about the same temps as now? Why was the coldest time in last 8,000 yrs around 1880? Pretty sure you have NO IDEA what you are talking about bc U get your "science" from bullshit headlines.

  14073.  @ameunier41  No one wants fusion to work more than I, for the long range, century plus forward. Not required on Earth for thousands of yrs, least of our problems is running out of solar and fission fuels. Also not likely cost competitive for century or more, at least not using THIS approach. It's a great achievement already even if proving insanely uneconomic in the end. To exist in outer solar system or beyond arguably requires fusion.

  14074.  @ameunier41  Can't argue much with that. It all must be scrutinized and criticized to keep it honest with ROI in mind. (Return On Investment--difficult to gauge as it is) Been arguing for half a century about our Moon landing spin offs ROI.

  14075.  @garrettmillard525  Climate is not driven by CO2, false narrative not backed by evidence, it's not exactly trivial in general but often is. We are still in the Ice Ages which have been horrific for last 2.5M yrs, a brief warm period for us to thrive in subject to switch back, without notice, to growing ice sheets devastating half the N. hemisphere which is the dominant condition. Methane is a silly concern, it only last about 15 yrs in the atmosphere, unless there is somehow a 100X increase which would be a short term problem, forget about it. Weather and climate have always been terrifying having nothing to do with humanity. The rhetoric that severe events are increasing IS NOT BACKED by actual science. It's hype media fabrication. Have you bothered to delve into the actual science and data? I have, most have not, they think hyperbolic headlines are reality, they are clickbait, nothing more.

  14076.  @xxwookey  Here in Commifornia we should be focused on such as expanding the Diablo Canyon nuke plant from 2 reactors to 4, or the 6 it was originally designed for. It's some of the cleanest cheapest power we have at current 9% of state total. Electric production needs to triple over next decade, we can't be fooling around.
    1
  14077. Dave Cruickshank No doubt about that except "deserve" is determined by the market place, not collective judgement or otherwise. And some of the key mistakes were out of arrogance, not likely to be repeated by other manufacturers. The model 3 is way ahead in terms of batt tech and electronics but fell flat on structural/manufacturing details because they failed to use well developed production and design methods for autos.

  14078. beanny39 In the US we already transfer power long distances and the average loss from source to consumer is about 10%, not a deal breaker. As options get better and cheaper most houses in the US should produce at least as much as they consume just from their own roof not counting EVs which may double or triple what a house otherwise uses, in sunny areas even that should be available from the roof alone at current panel efficiencies which could double over time. I believe we will see the cheapest electric in history within a decade extrapolating from gains of the previous couple decades.

  14079. Great to see this on the market but it's a long way from cost effective at this point for the vast majority of us.  Elon admits as much but points out--"That doesn't mean people won't buy it."  Hopefully it won't take too many years before the price drops to about one third the current price, then it will be competitive.

Obviously I could be as wrong as most apparently believe or the stock would already reflect a lot of that future value. Very difficult to get one's head around, took me many yrs, but therein lies the opportunity. Some learned much faster and been highly rewarded for it. It's on a trajectory to becoming "Apple cubed", where it ends up this yr or next IDK, long term is the only way to play it. If I'm wrong by a factor of 4 or it takes a few yrs longer, I'll still do very well. But it's NEVER easy and they'll have to continue to execute exceptionally well.

Ford is curtailing it's prior production ramp due to massive losses on it's EVs and inferior value to customers, vs the competition, they aren't selling well.

  14164.  @JZsBFF  Yeah that's been a dud so far. Remember when Elon predicted the Model Y would become the best selling car on Earth? Oh wait....that happened along with most other ascertions he's made, if way late.

You fine with being censored, manipulated and prevented from seeing info crucial to your life? Elon is the only reason USA today has access to space and has cut costs by 10 or 20X, doing 80% of global launch market. Every other nation on Earth would LOVE to have him. Why don't YOU??

  14206.  @Madracer09  Notion of aircraft have been around for millennia, so I guess the Right Brothers contributed NOTHING. Right? Full autonomous is largely solved by Tesla and it took Elon to realize vision only sensors would not only work but be the best way. Yes it was his idea alone. Took his conviction and insistence even to overcome Tesla engineers resistance. So what if 'self landing rocket' idea existed for a century? What's your point? Ideas are like assholes, everyone has one, useless until executed. Both Boeing and Lockheed literally laughed at SpaceX notion of reusable rockets. Yeah--go on and make a point that matters. So far you are only expressing your emotional condition and ignoring reality.

  14222.  @NextGenEvs  I've never heard of that low a range for regular Y in Norway, somethings wrong with that. You really load dirt in a pickup then manually unload? Or use equipment to unload? Other than bulk items, hay, lumber, firewood....rarely see anyone operate in such inefficient fashion. Sounds like you need a dump truck not a pickup.
    1
  14223.  @NextGenEvs  If a diesel truck has it's range cut by a factor of 3 when towing then the CT will be about the same, a little more for heating, or pick your factor. There's no reason a well designed EV truck loses much more than an ICE. When I dealt with, say 10 or 20 deg F winter mornings, it took me 20 or 30 minute just to thaw the thing out before I could safely drive it. Won't take 10 seconds in a CT as it's already done for you.
    1
  14224.  @NextGenEvs  I agree THEY are over optimistic but your numbers and gripes are even more emotionally silly. If you can fit a Bobcat in a crew cab F-250 you can fit it in the CT. 100 miles? Depends on how it's outfitted but probaly closer to 250. But hey, choices are good, if you want to pay $200 for a fill up vs $25, cool beans, my organic gardens thrive on the extra CO2, someone's gotta do it. :D

You OWN your offended state it's not imposed upon you, it's to be quietly ashamed of, not announced, same for perpetual victimhood and anger...all signals of loser mentality. I appreciate Farzad more or less confirming that but it's entirely NOT an Elon problem, it's a societal problem that can only be mitigated by exposure to discomfort not continued pampering and celebrating weakness that got us here.

  14247.  @restonthewind  Tesla will license to every other mass market auto MFG and take half or most of the profits. That'll take care of that part of anti-trust issues. Eventually that will become a problem for other reasons, Elon may have to preempt via fragmenting Tesla at some point. Opening Superchargers to the industry in general, is good in part due to undermining anti-trust concerns. If you believe, as I do, that AI and 10's of billions $ in super compute and 100's of billions of miles are required, plus best engineers on Earth....no one else is even in the running that I know of. China probably next however.

Not going to respond to all that puked up noise but a few points: 2) "Twitter is a straight White Man's site" You take it for granted this sort of racism and don't even notice. Right? Billionaires are BAD, grand accomplishments and dollars created means you should be slave. 5) that's a BIG problem with your limited memory. 6) laptop is history, DAMNING evidence even the Leftist media admits, consequences pending. Hunter and Creepy Joe are GUILTY. Creepy Joe admitted to being OWNED by the United Auto workers Mafia, I mean "Union", along with Government Motors. Corrupt collusion we don't even need a 3 yr Muller farce to confirm. Creepy Joe guaranteed we'd have a "Black woman for supreme court!" REALLY? That's not open sexist and racisim? Imagine a president saying: "Were going to have a wealthy white man for supreme court", never hear the end of it yet it's exactly the same damn thing You are SO totally marinated in your bubble and indoctrination you can't even see the most blatant bigotry you are immersed in which is ALL from the LEFT today!

  14252. You have the option to avoid and ignore anything you don't want exposure to.

  14264. There were some 3M buffalo on "American Serengeti" before genociding the natives via terminating their sustenance, similar to number of cows today, when done properly large herbivores are a crucial part of healthy landscape. (factory farms are another thing entirely) Why worry about methane? It last less than 2 decades in the atmosphere, utterly trivial. What IS the ideal CO2 level?? Can't be zero as that's the end of everything that matters, the arbitrary historically LOW level of 300ppm has proven extremely treacherously low in recent glacial maximums. Quite likely that 600ppm is safer and better than 300, life thrived at 7000ppm, greenhouse farms prefer 4000 but settle for 2000 due to input costs and diminishing returns, humans and pollinators don't notice it.

Obviously he knows consensus is irrelevant to science, then if one looks into the 97% mantra they'd find it's fabricated anyway. Or: "It's an experiment we shouldn't be doing." Sounds good except it assumes we know what level of atmospheric carbon is optimal. Nothing magic about arbitrary low 280ppm preindustrial number, it's likely that 600 is better than 300 but know one can say for sure. WE are conducting this experiment no matter what the concentration, if we could wave a wand and set it to any value.

  14282.  @andrasbiro3007  First off Elon is over influenced by climate dogma...at least in his words. Have you actually studied climate data and science? I have and the notion that CO2, an essential gas for life on Earth, controls climate, is absurd. It's a bit player, not remotely the driver of climate. It's not trivial but it sure doesn't explain the Little Ice Age, Medieval Warm Period, Roman Warm Period, both peaked higher temps than today, all very recent history,. Let alone the radical temp swings of Younger Dryas, 12C in a matter of a century and only yesterday in geologic terms, 12.5k yrs ago. (geology the origin of climate science) The climate has been horrific for last 2.5 million yrs with more time half the N. Hemisphere devastated by ice sheets than not, next glacial max pending at any time. No one knows bc climate models don't work. Apparently you are controlled by popular propaganda, an NPC.

  14286. I balk at the presupposition that Elon is "divisive", quite the contrary he's making Twitter inclusive, speaking one's mind should be inherently respected regardless of your beliefs. He's squashing pedophiles not promoting them, what's the fucking problem?

  14287. More than that SMR's take on Elon's values--we don't need to "be on the spectrum" to fully relate to everything Elon's said and done this yr or most anytime ever.... ...other than over optomism. Frankly those with negative emotions are intellectually weak and immature, or duped or representing others who are foaming at the mouth like Gerber and Wall St. They have no idea how small their Establishment echo chamber is compared to the nation at large.

But super abundance is readily available today when it wasn't back then.

Are you kidding me?

They got hurt only bc they reacted emotionally "couldn't take the pain" exited at a very bad time and then allowed fear to keep them from getting back in by say 2010/11....had they change either of those they'd be up some 4 or 5X just in a lousy index fund.

BTW he admitted he committed obstruction of justice regarding Comey, remember that? Yeah that's what put Martha Stewart and others in prison for months. And it's pretty damned obvious he has was in collusion with his boss Putin, no innocent person in history has protested so vociferously, but let's let the justice system confirm it first. Oh...and Trump University was convicted of fraud, he was well know for cheating contractors on his construction sites, on and on and on....so many scandals it's impossible to keep track of them all. That said--it doesn't mean he hasn't done a couple seriously good things for the nation, deregulation and cutting corporate taxes in particular.

  14345. Mightiflier 'could have possibly'...unhuh, we all gathered that much. I would also say that not only the magnetos, etc., are ultimately the pilot's responsibility but also even the particulars of the field including the rescue personnel, equipment and readiness, even that can't be taken for granted. As long as we are speculating (as you are), perhaps he was rude to a few of the would be rescuers earlier in the day for all I know, and they didn't care to assist him as a result. Or maybe they simply had some technical failure of their own. Lots of possibilities.

  14346. Mightiflier I think he would take full responsibility for his situation not look to blame others for his screw up. And I don't know if he burned to death, broke his neck or crushed his head, do you?

  14347. Mightiflier WTH? Why would I want to ban airshows? He fucked up and crashed doing something highly risky it's primarily HIS responsibility HIS fault. Outrageous?

(not mountains to ME, lol) It would require bring back big predators which is never easy. IDK to what extent they were ever forested but understand a lot was. We've done it to a degree with wolves in the US West and never wiped out the big cats fortunately, they control the deer, large herbivores, without any significant hazard to humans. Mountain lions almost never mess with us, they don't even allow us to see them. And ranchers can mix in a few burrows to protect their beef cows from wolves quite effectively. Donkeys are wonderful to have around just as pets and will be properly brutal against canine attacks.

  14367.  @felix-eeee  I knew a family who moved from Owens Valley to Germany and they came back simply (probably not simple but a primary reason) due to inability to ever get away from other ppl, which is almost of the definition of wilderness.

  14369.  @felix-eeee  It's also the most isolated part of state, 300 miles of solid Sierra wilderness (no roads) cuts it off from rest of state, with all the good and bad that that implies. No roads is ALL good, can't have real wilderness anywhere near a road or any sort of lazy easy access.

Kodak was early into digital photography but didn't want to disrupt it's lucrative film biz. GM had a well loved short range EV back in the 1990's but didn't pursue it, then they all laughed at tiny Tesla and the rest is mostly history. Misaligned corporate reward structure a big part of problem, Wall St. focus on short range profits and C-suite rewarded whether they run biz into the ground or not. Elon was paid ZERO unless a series of impossible targets were achieved.

  14397.  @unclemonster48  In a way. I liken it to Amazon vs Sears, Montgomery Wards plus a few others. Creative destruction.

  14436.  @Madronaxyz  Yes it's multi-faceted, complicated. And perspective matters, 5 or 10X more acreage burned a century ago in the USA than in recent decades. There's a reason hype media (only sort many ever experience) starts the clock around 1984, that was the coolest time of last 100 yrs and the lowest burn acreage. The highest temps ever recorded were in the 1930's, the Dust Bowl wasn't just bad policy and farming practices. Coincidentally the coldest time in the last 10k yrs was the 1880's when record keeping began. Warmer climate means more water vapor, more precipitation and of course water vapor dwarfs all other greenhouse gasses combined. CO2 is a bit player in climate, not trivial but not remotely THE driver, naturally it greatly enhances greening of Earth, crop yields and so on. It also adds a little security from the ultimate catastrophe--too low CO2 to support plant life which has nearly happened a number of times in last few million yrs. CO2 is correlated to climate very closely but it often lags temperature which makes sense when realizing 40X more of it dissolved in the oceans than in the atmosphere, warmer water holds less. Climate models don't work, you can't run them backwards to predict, say the Medieval Warm Period, which was 1.5C warmer than today, nor the "Little Ice Age" we are arguably still recovering from. Both of those episodes must be dodged or data modified to fabricate the infamous "hockey stick" farce.

  14437.  @naomijohnson6797  At least for those of us who live in these areas (I have ash all over my yard rt. now) this is an OLD and serious problem that requires appropriate, productive SERIOUS response. These fires are in no way a surprise, they are absolutely inevitable given our mismanagement of wild lands, lands that have evolved over eons to frequent fires. Some trees can't even reproduce without fire passing under them. Jeffery Pines have bark several inches thick that is almost impossible to set on fire, the whole system has been thrown out of wack with predictable results, primarily due to NOT ENOUGH FIRES--as ironic as that my sound if the concept is new to you. It's crucial that the public understands the situation so we can move forward and make the necessary changes to our policies. Most of the population are now located in cities and somewhat isolated from it, understandably they often don't get it, this is why I am beating this drum as I have been for many yr.s now.
    1
  14438.  @percivalsweetwater9992  That's a contributing factor but not even close to the primary problem here. These fires need NOT be catastrophic if they were frequent as they historically were.

(Dad was part of the fight from Owens Valley side) It was: "The most resources to the greatest number of ppl VS the environment"...environment won one. The LAW Won. :D I once faced the Judge of Bridge Port CA for traffic infraction--speeding naturally, surprisingly it was a good experience.

They assess your character and visa versa. If you walk, walk backwards when traffic passing. 2nd: attitude will make or break you, can't fake it, been 3hrs since last ride say or stuck in bad part of town? Might be difficult but must maintain positive attitude at all times. 3rd: obviously look clean and decent and don't bother after dark. 4th: don't waste drivers time, if they stop long RUN to them, often they pull over in less than ideal place and don't want to linger, otherwise it's just common decency, if you dawdle expect them to drive off. Naturally offer some gas money or whatever.

  14478.  @neisanland2503  HOW is a hyperproductive person's well earned wealth at the cost of the poor?!? It doesn't work like that, exactly the contrary. And Bezos will pay more taxes than the bottom 100 million Americans, simple FACT. I never made a dime off the poor nor did anyone else including the government, they are already living on MY WORK. Again--ANYONE can become wealthy in America. Wanna know how? Let me tell you how I did it because it's the common way it's done : I worked my face off straight out of high school at an under ground mine (OK, that mine detail is not common, but you get the idea) in the High Sierras, week on end of double shifts, 16 hrs a day became the norm. Saved every penny I could during the summers to attend subsidized Junior College the rest of yr. (yes I'm fine with my taxes going back to that) I drove a Ford Pinto, worthless econobox, didn't own a TV, nor stereo nor toy for yrs, rode my bicycle exclusively before my 2nd yr at JC. Struggled to get certified in welding as a back up to my eventual engineering goals and a way to create more money for my purpose. Yes I created that wealth , it was money that would not exist if I didn't sweat and swear to MAKE IT. I invested every saved penny in starting my own welding contracting biz and after yrs of struggle to get established and profitable went back for my engineering degree. ALWAYS living well below my immediate needs, always treating my customers with highest integrity and standards even if it meant I lost my ass on a particular project. Invested in myself and later in outside enterprises that I spent a decade studying to get my head around. (think Tesla) My money created more wealth for many others and myself, I still live in a shameful shack but it's all MINE and I can now look forward to building a modest, high quality house on my 'dream yard' now that I'm modestly wealthy. Anyone else can do similar in America. Tradesmen are in incredible demand, have been for decades. I can earn well over $100/hr just by myself and I EARN every penny of it. My customers gain as do their employees, they only want more of me than I have time and energy. (they joke they want to clone me, lol) Society as a whole gains from MY GAINS both with TSLA and my own tiny biz. I don't OWE anyone except to repay my subsidized education, infrastructure, courts, law, libraries and so on. Punish me TOO MUCH for being productive and I'll simply stop. Meritocracy is NOT OPTIONAL, I will not bust my ass to be in the same state as a druggy under the bridge tho I may well join them there. Hahaha
    1
  14479.  @neisanland2503  All that is based on the false assumption that one person's gain is another's loss. The exact opposite is true. Let me give you an example that removes the abstraction of money as most don't even know what that is: I'm like a "produce billionaire" in my part of town, very modest neighborhood. Instead of boring pointless lawns, I replaced them with a beautiful organic "food forest" such that I have huge surpluses of fruits, nuts, etc. FAR superior more nutritious than you can ever buy at the market. It takes a lot of work and investment. Your logic says that makes me to blame for the hungry ! Do you know what happens when you vote for the government to confiscate half my production? I quit and let it all die, there is no other way it can go and I refuse to be a slave to "the needy". GET IT NOW? The result of your advocacy IS equality, everyone will be equally poor. But I guess you already know that.

  14480.  @neisanland2503  Things are far better than the 1960's, '70's and 80's overall. '90's were good. What specifically are you talking about? My point was based on the assumption that you don't participate in the process, right?
    1
  14481.  @neisanland2503  So you made your self irrelevant and that's OK with me. Rational folks understand the obvious--that every pol MUST satisfy their constituency 1st or be out of a job next. That doesn't make everything fine, plenty of corruption but ultimately it's up to US to decide.

  14482. Property tax in Cali is based on the the value of the last time it changed hands bc decades ago as prices went up old folks were getting taxed out of their own homes. (there was something of a tax revolt and "proposition 13" was passed to that end in early 1980's I believe) THEREFORE two identical value homes can have dramatically different tax rates.

    1
  14494.  @rooh5825  Elon/Tesla have NEVER lobbied nor advertised for any sorts of subsidies, Elon advocated ending fossil fuel subsidies or balancing them with carbon credits to level the field. They specifically declined government monies in both EU and USA, to the tune of $2.5B last yr. They have NEVER advocated direct subsidies for EVs. Nothing governments can do will have much effect on EV adoption, demand is already far beyond supply and will be for sometime to come. And Elon is NOT Conservative . He believes free speech is an essential component of democracies....only a damned fool would say otherwise. Twitter has been biased to the extreme. Neither Tesla, SpaceX nor Elon can exist in the USSA. Get it? "As long as those engines exist they'll be forced to pay credits to Musk" WTF?? Auto Co.s that don't manufacture 'enough' EVs or even hybrids have to pay someone who does, it could just as well be VW that get's the credits. And Tesla does NOT NEED that crap, it's tiny part of their profits at this point.

  14533.  @andis9076  But YOU can make snap judgments on Boeing with only preliminary information? NEVER does one take off without tower clearance but (apparently Lion crew did), and again, apparently they continued to screw up unforgivably.

  14535. @A E I don't know about criminal, but yeah maybe that's not enough, you are talking some 250 hr.s in this particular model I believe, not total experience. However--by some accounts, the Lion pilots were either severely drunk or may as well have been: 1st the particular plane had problems with the AOA that should have been taken care of but hadn't been, 2nd they took off without tower clearance, then they fumbled in the cockpit, misunderstanding the situation, failing to switch off MCAS and apparently not even scanning their instruments as they didn't know the attitude of the aircraft and when the "bank angle" warning came on they turned INTO it instead of out of it causing the fatal near vertical dive. (time will tell how much of this is on Boeing and how much on maintenance, operation standards and pilots, account above could be partially incorrect too)

  14537. "What!?!" "The vehicle has exploded!" "Don't say that!" Sorry folks, that's what rockets DO, they blow up frequently, they always had that's why you are miles away from the launch site. Did you think it was safe or something?

  14538.  @jozefmak984  Curious that spectators are excluded within 3 miles of rocket and then expect launch to be safe or something
    1
  14539.  @dozzer009  Yes much of the wreckage was recovered and 'reassembled'. NASA put on a 3 yr circus pretending to not know exactly what happened when there were almost fistfights the night before launch between M.T. engineers (rocket booster mfg) and others, over exactly this issue. AND they had footage from an F-16 cam plane at 60,000 ft that showed exactly what happened Drag out the farce, misleading naïve gullible reporters long enough that the public loses interest. Everyone involved knew they'd almost blown it up previously due to cold launches that weren't even that cold. NASA bean counters in charge thought that if they could fool the public they could fool nature. Doesn't work like that.

Today I'm most excited by semi, hope they can produce a lot, we'll get real world customer results which are required to throttle the noisy naysayers. Semi long a fave focus for me, entire new proving ground. One can say a personal auto is as much an emotional choice as a utilitarian one--NOT so for a commercial rig.

  14561.  @manimalworks7424  Did you bother to watch this vid? I've seen many other vids of fields of apparently 'registered' BYDs clearly going to no over the last yr. Fair guess that those lots of cars are not suitable for the road for some significant reason, perhaps they have no batteries or very limited batt pack as they are one of the limiting factors industry wide. This sort of thing happens all the time in China and command economies in general. They incentivize fraudulent excess production of XYZ, the insane piles of bicycles perhaps the most obvious example. You seem to have an emotional rejection of reality. Are you invested in BYD? Emotions have NO BIZ in investing as you may soon learn.

  14569.  @point-blank3369  Tesla is a currently a money printing machine. Yup...things changed fast, couple yrs out of date and one has no idea what they are talking about. Likely we have a recession or worse coming soon, will effect everyone including Tesla but they are best positioned to thrive during it just as they did in 2020 when all legacy mfgs were in the toilet. Tesla: $20B cash vis $0.2B in debt. Now compare that to F and GM at some 100 to 150B debt, Toy 240B ish debt and climbing.
    1
  14570.  @point-blank3369  WTF? Tesla has paid off it's debt, $200M is effectively ZERO and they are making the highest profit margins ever seen in the industry beyond boutique brands like Porsche or Ferrari. This is why all the others have been touting their EV plans, no doubt an EV is simply more valuable but that doesn't guarantee a profitable product or even the ability to mass produce it. No insult but you simply have no clue about Tesla. $18B profit last quarter and profits growing even faster than production as economies of scale kick in. All this while doubling on the way to quadrupling production. Shanghai and China in general may well become disasters if they don't abandon their insane 'zero Covid' policy. Macro events aside Tesla is going to continue to surprise everyone outside the Tesla bubble.
    1
  14571.  @point-blank3369  How is Toy going to pay back what must be heading to $300B in debt? Bankruptcy court I guess like many others. GM almost certainly F**ked. GOOD Riddance to them and the UAW mafia.

  14572.  @point-blank3369  Laughable that folks take all those 10's of billions "assigned" seriously other than alarming extra DEBT when they are already drowning in it. At the very best they'll get 1/4 as much per dollar as Tesla does, no one has comparable capital efficiency and outside China, only Tesla has secured raw material contracts yrs ago and batt production starting 8 yrs ago. And then there's this thing called talent---Again outside China, Tesla and SpaceX are where the best and brightest engineers, coders, etc., want to work not much left for the rest.

  14575.  @point-blank3369  The crucial parts, batt packs and power train are Chinese, software to I imagine. Toy isn't remotely going to take on Tesla, only the Chinese are in that position. Toy is like GM, drowning in debt, a decade late and a grand short. And your quality reference is out of date. Tesla is producing in China it's not simply buying the power train from other mfgs. See the difference?

Why I have a daily driver, aka., "towny" and one of litany of reasons I choose rural over urban life, can't stand daily 'soul crushing traffic'. Here in Commifornia city centers have gone to hell anyway, not fun anymore. We have some world class lessor traveled mountain roads in farther N.

A steel box of that thickness is way too rigid, but allowing it to become "not a box" will allow folding at reasonable impacts becoming progressively more resistant the further the intrusion.

They'll milk ICE for several more yrs and die with it.

Likewise for US and Japanese legacy brands. If ICE did have a future I'd agree legacies would too, much merged and downsized. Chinese brands never figured out ICE but they have run away w the BEV market, 10 yrs ahead and pulling away. And of course Germany screwed it's industrials via bad energy choices.

  14655. Bans are a farce, pretending to force what the market has predetermined and take credit for something they had little to do with. Some $6T ave. of global fossil fuel subsidies help justify counterbalance w competitor bc there isn't the leadership to end fossil subsidies China dependence hazard and balancing other nation's barriers, other subsidies, the only good reasons. Gov out as much as possible they always F things up. But only Gov can account for "externalities". Chinese and Tesla created a viable market, 2030-'35' bans would've been unthinkable several ys ago, they'd been mandating 100 to $150k family cars and fantasies. FREE MARKETS got the job done so far despite governments. Surprised, impressed w Biden for taking Chinese monopolies head on tho....nervous about Rare Earths, batt materials, tech....

  14658. It works for the industries being subsidized by the taxes paid by customers, not so great for customers or nation as a whole necessarily. It's part of the reason American pickup OEMs make so much and we pay so much for those rigs. US doing the same in regards to EVs too, get around that by building factories here. To reduce dependence on Chinese raw materials is a good, important thing, as they have and will put the hurt on us for whatever reason. CCP cut off Ausie coal imports simply for Australian calls to investigate covid origins.

Think about your grandkids, national debt so obscene they will be paying for our recklessness. Best thing US government can do is OPEN THE DARN ROAD for domestic production and refining! Allow the USA do it's share of raw material production. We can do it cleanest and competitively for a multiple metals. Today 70% Globally goes thru China, good on this bill to steer us away from there, we'll be far to dependent on evil CCP still. But EVs and key elements markets need no extra outside interference beyond that. EV train left the station yrs ago Please let it roll is all I ask of government.

  14676.  @GoCoyote  Increased CO2 reduces water requirements for plants and has visibly greened the Earth. NASA recorded such from space. Plants can only become more drought tolerant as stomata need not be open as much to acquire the CO2 required. CO2 is a bit player in climate, not remotely THE driver. Water vapor makes up 70% of the greenhouse effect with many other gasses participating. And increasing CO2 has decreasing effect as levels increase, the effect of next doubling does less than double the effect. The primary connection between climate and CO2 is that when Earth cools more CO2 is stored in water, 40X more CO2 in oceans than atmosphere. Not always but often it's clear that CO2 lags temperature change for this reason. It's been said that "we shouldn't be conducting this experiment." Anyone can understand that, makes sense, but we are doing this experiment even if we somehow managed to keep or return to pre-industrial 280ppm. What IS the ideal CO2 level? 280 is long term historically on the extreme low end and the climate over the last 3M yrs has been erratic and devastating to much of N. hemisphere with more time under couple km ice than not. Mass plant extinction is expected around 150 to 100ppm, that would be the end of everything that matters and recent glacial maximums have seen as low as 180, extremely dangerously low. Would say 600ppm be safer going into the next glacial max? Probably a little bit, can't hurt. Or will 600 prevent next glacial max? No one can say because our climate models are a farce, they do not work, but I suspect NO. We only have sketchy hypothesis for how 12 deg C temp swings happened in a matter of decades in the YD (Younger Dryass) for example, until models can predict YD, Medieval warm period, Little Ice Age, etc., they may be dismissed. Think about 12C! We fret over 1.5C this century tho there's no reason to expect we can predict such. YD was yesterday in geologic time, geology being the origin of climate science. I suspect 600 (about where we will likely plateau as fossil fuels are becoming obsolete) is significantly healthier and safer than 280. To think 280 is magically better just because it was more "natural" is as mindless as any religion ever was. Do we think this planet was made for us or life in general?? SURE God dunit and it was perfect before we came along. Unfortunately...natural climate is catastrophic without us and probably with us until we can actually control it.

I'll assume you don't mean absolute limits as that requires new physics which hasn't happened in any fundamental fashion in a century. (Quantum Mechanics allowed for many advancements such as the transistor, Relativity--GPS, etc.) Again, back to where we were; precisely what technological limitations are you looking to overcome? Another essence of engineering is specifying exactly what we are trying to achieve, why and how it may be possible.

  14701.  @waynefergusson9987  It's OK if you can't defend your beliefs in this instance, we all need to strive to be less wrong. I was only asking u to justify for yourself why u cling to this notion. No need to prove to or persuade you...but just for the thought exercise and fun. :D Bike ain't good proxy for an automobile, host of reasons hub motors can be good for a bicycle, "2 dimensional", you can't go far out off center plane and motor is relatively miniscule. We'll see about a, say 500 hp battery street bike, I say NO hub motor there either, but a light pedal bike--hub motors make ton of sense. Rode high performance street bikes hard daily for many yrs, excellent suspension is NOT OPTIONAL when you are dancing around on bad asphalt with 'unlimited' performance, braking to the point of transient lockups, leaning hard while torqueing wheels...etc. Tires must follow the surface and adjust nearly instantaneously, mass resists that. Same for a car at the limits or emergency situation.
    1
  14702.  @waynefergusson9987  Specifically what IS needed and how do you propose to get there? Anyone can fantasize but engineering is absolutely beholden to math and physics. Sketch out a path toward proposed attributes within known laws of physics.
    1
  14703.  @waynefergusson9987  For the final F'n time: Unsuspended mass must be minimized. Why is this so hard for you to understand? Motors are the highest density element of the entire vehicle, heavier still if they are to withstand the abuse of a bad road inside a wheel. Would you put batteries in the wheels too? Why not? Do you even understand why overall mass of a vehicle is crucial?? More is worse in everyway with the exception of the piggish arms race of seeking to kill the other guy in a multi-vehicle collision, doesn't even do any good colliding with a fixed object, large tree, concrete wall or going over a cliff. There is NO getting around these things. Extra wheel mass also requires more suspension, still more unsuspended mass and more overall mass. A wheel must be accelerated in two modes, both linear like the rest of vehicle and rotational, therefore requires more energy to accelerate a vehicle of equal total mass. Rotating mass extra energy requirements is not trivial, depending on distribution, rotating mass of a car may take around 1.5X more energy to accelerate. VERY BAD result. All those severe penalties to avoid some U-joints or CVs? DUMB AS HELL.
    1
  14704.  @waynefergusson9987  "Engineers spend tons of time optimizing things that shouldn't exist." What's the advantage of motors in the worse possible location, in the wheels? (on the roof might be worse still but you get the idea)
    1
  14705.  @waynefergusson9987  The water in tires is visualization aid, if you have any intuition (may not) of dynamics you'd realize such mass hitting a pothole say, would crash the wheel into edge then slam wheel into suspension with nearly equal brutality. NOT a good thing. NOT new, minimizing unsuspended mass has been a goal of any well designed car or truck since they've been properly engineered.
    1
  14706.  @waynefergusson9987  Aren't you in a box? I rethink machine design projects everyday. Some things are inherently WRONG--3 wheels vs 4 for example, 3 is fundamentally flawed. Same for mounting motors in wheels to lessor degree, it's possible to have a decent 4 wheel car with motors misplaced inside the wheels (not possible for a 3 wheeler to handle well at the limits, be capable swerving max, etc), still inferior.

  14709.  @mho0  Yeah that's mostly bullshit frankly, service is spotty, some have very bad experience and some great but as for the rest of it? Nonsense or 2 yr old "news" or isolated instances. 5M cars on the road means you can cherry pick dozens of exceptions. The fact they have the highest customer loyalty ever gives the bigger picture, can't be so bad then can it? Certainly paint from Berlin plant is excellent by all accounts, very good to excellent from Austin and Shanghai. Anyway--options and "competition" are a good thing. You go pay far more for far less. Or prioritize buttons and fancier interior instead of the luxury of technology, good we have that choice. I don't like not having leather seats/steering wheel cover or HUD or a button on the glove box, tho the last two have decent aftermarket options, built in is always better. I might find that the glass roof needs to have an opaque option in my climate, again aftermarket for that too but it doesn't thrill me.

Most folks don't care much about that but it's a bit strange they aren't always caught at the factory, maybe because most customers don't even notice. If that's your focus then pay 1.5X for less car, inferior software and no OTA updates, rubbish charging for road trips....go for it.

Notice how others are copying Tesla w castings, heat pumps and so on but have a long way to go. That Volvo is a TANK, extra mass damages everything about a car, including ICE cars.

I'll be writing my representatives when GM goes bankwupt and seeks yet another bailout. The best scenario is they are diminished to the point that they are no longer 'too big to fail'. I wouldn't cheer for that result except they asked for it and failure must be an option for free enterprise to succeed.

  14756.  @fergyspoolshots  I agree mandates are retarded and counterproductive. But most Americans live hand to mouth and cars are one of the biggest expenses. When they realize they can cut that cost by, say 4X? Yeah they'll switch pretty fast.

  14757.  @waynefaram2333  You are literally asking him to violate the core reasons for his spectacular success. Severely childishly emotional. You can't have it both ways, let Elon be Elon and embrace the candor and courage that got him here and will propel his companies into the future.

  14758.  @waynefaram2333  You know none of that. Twitter WAS a disaster, not possible for it to get worse, if you think the USA can exist in a condition where the DHS Ministry of Truth controls information--better think harder about that. Indeed that's where we were. Tesla does not exist in a vacuum but only under specific exceptionally free enterprise conditions, conditions which cannot exist with tyrants controlling information. 1st Amendment is not optional but has been consistently violated with extremely dire consequences in recent yrs. TSLA is exactly where it should be based on the Naz with the 2X beta it's always had. Look at AMZN, NVDA, etc. If you are a butt hurt TSLA trader that's on YOU, quit blaming others. Extremely entitled, self centered and short sighted. I'm an investor and very pleased with both my to date results, and most important--the performance of *the Company*. The stock will take care of itself over time. Twitter propaganda is irrelevant.

Imagine having to register with police every time you travel to a different city and no internet access, no justice system you might be put in a hellish prison for no defined reason, on and on. Don't get caught with a VPN. No question Chinese EVs will take a big slice of global market short of a vicious trade war or similar.

  14790.  @thomasruwart1722  I won't waste our time, but I could tell some stories about unions I've encountered. Began to loath them right from my first industrial job as 17 yr old. The only thing they ever did for me was help convince me to start my own business at 20. Union Pacific Railroad union was an incredible shit show for my couple weeks contracting for them. Track maintenance crew raised hell about my presence up and down the line, despite the fact that no one around was remotely either willing or able to do my work. They got zero warning when the project was to terminate bc that would allow the workers to steal everything in sight, it was cheaper to suddenly lay them off and pay the 2 extra weeks. (oops, guess that was a story, lol) Yeah I'm late boomer.

IDK that S&P failed here or not, just say'n. Can't be long before Tesla get's the rating if it has any valid meaning at all, that will facilitate some additional interest in the stock.

  14801.  @kronop8884  A worker is not forced to labor for any given industry yet it is forced to work for a union if wanting to work at all. No one can defend that result, a fundamental human right is being systematically violated. Shameful. Not just a Swedish problem, tho seems extreme there, it's Western problem.
    1
  14802.  @kronop8884  Not OK to allow industries to become overwhelming monopolies. I'm sure Swedish government is not hands off on that. For similar reasons there must be guardrails, limits on union mafias, which clearly do not allow the indivudual to make a contract with the employer. Right? So the employee is partial slave to a union he/she may want nothing to do with. That is WRONG.
    1
  14803.  @PandaKnight52  Baloney. Unions exist to pay exorbitant salaries to their staff while contributing zero value. "Get paid at all" as tho anyone works for free?--most mindless claim ever. Companies that take best care of their workers get best results, PERIOD. All the rest, weekends, 8hr shifts, etc., are codified in LAW everywhere but maybe China where Communism isn't just unions it's the entire government. A century plus ago American unions had a role, even then they were violent mafias but arguably a necessary evil given monopolistic industries. That's the PAST. Sweden should bust up those mafias, forced taxation of workers and driving away industries entirely. Sure won't see anymore than minimal Tesla investments there to just sell cars, from Tesla or the Chinese MFG, industry in general. How can you defend organizations that force themselves on workers? Obviously you don't give a damn about those who want no part of that crap.

  14809. The ONLY thing Elon ever said that bothered ME is "funding secured" when it apparently wasn't true. (tho one of his lawyers recently claimed otherwise, so not certain about that) Also that was in the context of 420/share which can't be taken entirely seriously.

  14811. Never been one to spend to stand out with superficial decorations--I'd leave it bare SS for utility, economy and to emphasize the harsh toughness. Good kind of "bland" that bare SS. Buy another share or two of TSLA and don't wrap it. :D

  14812. Trivial.... but I was always tad disappointed he hit the Ford door noticeably more forcefully than the CT with the plastic sledge hammer. It was the last part of swing that was different, as one who has swung sledges it's unavoidable to see.

  14813. Tesla only selling it bare SS is the right choice SS is essentially corrosion proof in my experience, very few conditions that it deteriorates chemically. Sure it can stain like your kitchen sink, not a big problem.
    1
  14814.  @rogergeyer9851  We will never see a $40k CT, part of that is inflation but I've never quite believed it anyway. That's sort of OK, I mean not for their reputation but for what the market will bare.

Hats off salute no all they've done for us.

  14820. With all due humor and respect--the colonies (USA) will give Euro a run for it just because of Tesla but also Chinese/Asian batt and EV investment. (VW and others too?) I believe Tesla may produce 4M in The States alone by late 2025?...no guarantees but Austin is going to be building and ramping for the foreseeable future with production rates well beyond even Tesla-China is today while Shanghai, Berlin and whatever TBA plants, continue to ramp for yrs too, baring more CCP insanity, etc.

  14822.  @TheBooban  Oh is it? Like BMW, Merc, VW, and the rest are too bc they also (or used to) build cars in China. It's an American company and when it builds in Germany it provides jobs there. American workers don't piss and moan about paychecks from BMW and the rest here in the Colonies and I sure appreciate having German brand choices....though they are apparently going away this decade.

Soon they'll be the poor man's only choice other than those who drive very low miles, they can keep that '94 Civic indefinitely. (BTW--was a day when "they" wouldn't touch a Japanese car either)

  14889. ONE key reason many, somewhat legitimately, hate on EVs is governments forcing them on folks. I agree with them on that, it's not necessary nor productive. That leads to emotions expressed as related 'facts' to back it up.

  14895.  @FlorestanTrement  That was a another one but I thought a mistake for Tesla to sue as it's a comedy show as court determined. NYT is supposed to be real news and Tesla properly pursued that getting a retraction I believe, better than nothing but unsatisfying, and maybe someone canned from NYT.
    1
  14896.  @FlorestanTrement  Around 2014 there was a NYT (New York Crimes) fabricated story on the Model S running out of charge prematurely. Tesla had the data and called them out on it getting a retraction, maybe one or two others like that, not very satisfying. I want to see existential monetary damages inflicted on fake news outlets. Tesla aside--CNN, MSNBC are pure propaganda machines and should be obliterated for their continuous crimes.

  14897.  @FlorestanTrement  For the most part the US justice system works well and isn't corrupted like every other government agency seems to be to one degree or another. As for slander I'm less confident as it seems rarely tested, media establishment gets away with murder continuously. Primary recourse is to just boycott them which has been happening as ppl realize they are purveyors of BS.

  14898.  @FlorestanTrement  Absolutely NO good reason Elon would be required to present himself in court in most of these situations. I agree it's a massive waste of his precious time and so does he, he'll pay aggressive exceptionally talented expert "street fighter" lawyers for that. Let them do their thing with high rewards for success. Look forward to some publications to be thrashed and bankrupted, but that's just my wishful thinking. No fan of litigation but it's an essential element of a functioning society and accountability.
    1
  14899. ​ @FlorestanTrement  He said they will take to court even if they are likely to lose, IF they are right. That doesn't mean he has to personally spend more than 5 min per week on it. Surely you notice how he can delegate, he need not use his own hands to install wiring harness to a car on assembly line, nor be in court. He's assembling a crack offensive legal team and they should strike fear into all big media recklessly stating rumors, claims, hearsay and speculation as FACTS with previous impunity. I have engineering background, not litigation expert, but my understanding is slander CAN BE seriously addressed by courts with considerable consequences.

  14910.  @lengould9262  Ultimately it's a product of rabid propaganda, mostly from the Left but BOTH SIDES, and the silo-ing of opinions instead of welcoming debate. Remember when the Left believed in free speech and "let the market of ideas" sort out the best?...Darwinian process. Today the Left simply shouts down any slightly apposing ideas. I remember when one of the most prominent hippy slogans was "Question Authority", today the Left attacks anyone who does so. This is why having a Twitter that welcomes everyone from all sides, with very few limits, open and transparent, is crucial. NOT GOOD when Twits are all radical Leftists and newer competing platforms are all Right wing.
    1
  14911.  @lengould9262  The Right has also been moving Left for many yrs but patheticly weak in upholding or countering anything. The Left creates entire fantasies and runs wild with them for yrs without consequence: Russian collusion farce, Jan 6 fabrication while laughing when the Left attacks the WH in an insurrection, President forced to retreat to bunker (funny stuff!), burning up the guard house, knocking over a long fence injuring many cops, on and on. ZERO conseqences. Just last week a front running REPUBLICAN governor was SWATTED (really after 1.5yrs) his residence raided by the FBI which is in collusion and the DOJ...his crimes? Misdemeanors like trespassing. Left is creating civil war. What were a few yrs ago Alex Jones nutjob conspiracies are today's reality--forced injections, vaccine passports, complete loss of all civil rights, Right protestors getting solitary confinement without charges. The Ministry of Truth attempt, it's frankly terrifying. Not confident we will have a USA in any meaningful sense, what part of The Constitution is left? (Right was most to blame for Patriot act which was one big step in wrong direction 20 yrs ago) We need a radical shift toward Libertarianism or dissolution of this disunited states if the authoritarian Left doesn't grow up and get real.

(not about to replace petroleum but significant locally) Chips now used on the ground or turned to massive piles of compost, good use too, or just open burned in piles in the fields...not so good.

Gone and forgotten like Packard, Studebaker, Nash, (my dad could list a dozen)

Motorists WILL gage your state of mind at a glance, you can't fake it, and it makes all the difference as to whether they stop for you or not. Looking each driver in the eye makes it harder to pass you by. Had a lot of interesting good experiences that way. Still pick up others to this day.

Started off at 20 rebuilding small block Chevy 327 for worn out work truck I needed for my new biz, cam and header plus complete DYI overhaul, ran it for 20 yrs...rode "crotch rocket" hard daily for 15 yrs. Now love my 2011 BMW M3 with it's mechanical museum piece of a high revving, naturally aspirated, 4 valve 4 cam V8. I want to run that car until I can't walk it's the 2 wheel moto of my youth in 4 wheel form. Still enjoy my old 2001 BMW 330 too. Zero desire for an EV I want 3 pedals, rear drive with limited slip differential. LOVE the visceral nature of that V8 at 8000 rpm mated to manual trans! :D But it's not a family car nor for many anyway for the same reasons most don't drive motorcycles. But I see where it's going and why. I intend to have enough home solar and batt storage to run the house/shop and one or two EVs, minimum.

  14967.  @MrMichaelBCurtis  You will soon get 300 more miles in 15 to 30 minutes charge time with Tesla and others, time enough to pee and snack? I love road trips but rarely do 600 miles per day. How about you? Plugging in at home as most do most of the time--what do you care if it takes all night? Surely 200 added miles, if you work 14 hrs/day and park only 6, for a total 300 to 400 range will get you thru the average day, NO? And you don't actually fill up in 3 minutes, 10 maybe.

You wouldn't want to miss multiple trips to the petrol station every week while your neighbors miss out by simply plugging in at home.

Guessing enough to run a couple dozen homes. (not international news) Maybe 1500 to 2k ft max head at small flow rate--say enough to fill a 1 by 2ft ditch flowing several mph. Plug back pressure on the ground water is 'reclamation' of sorts, possibly crucial for some natural springs or whatever...not crucial to overall landscape, it all ends up as crystal clear cold creek water in a mile anyway.

    1
  14977.  @888YangJi  More models is what VW and other failing legacies do, it's part of the reason BYD is unprofitable on BEVs. The Model Y has been the best selling car of any kind for 2 yrs running, globally. Tesla has the highest profit margins of any mass produced cars while BYD barely makes a profit on BEVs. BYD very impressive and they make money on phones, etc, not BEVs. They will, like everyone else, have to license autonomous hardware and software from Tesla which will make 90% plus profits on it. There is very little overlap between BYD and Tesla, they are more partners than competitors. Tesla doesn't play in the tiny cheap death trap car space yet. No one will want to buy a car that can't drive itself in a few yrs and ONLY Tesla has the general solution which is incredibly difficult to duplicate. Others will eventually get there but it's winner takes most. Car profits will be multiples higher by end of decade for Tesla but only a rounding error compared to robotics and the rest.

  15012.  @qilu2004  The original point was response to those with the childish assumption that more weight indicates better quality. It does NOT. Zero fundamental advantage to extra mass other than mentioned above, which is only at the expense of everyone else. It's possible that it's the result of extra features or qualities, but equally or more likely, inferior engineering and materials. Features and qualities stand on their merits, they aren't measured by the kilo...except in the inverse, more kilos is worse. Either way it's fundamentally worse for the weight alone, especially given similar batt packs, BYD has some 40 miles less range. That matters.
    1
  15013.  @qilu2004  Sure, most would agree. My point was there are inherent penalties for mass, that's all. And not just efficiency. SO--given two "similar" competing cars, couple hundred kilos difference MATTERS considerably.

  15022.  @Ryan_DeWitt  Anecdotally and many polls I've seen make the point of ignorance very clear. It's an argument for Tesla to do some real advertising for 1st time ever. I appreciate that many rightfully backlash against "being forced" to go EV, but that notion will be overcome by economics over next several yrs, and a much better experience overall.
    1
  15023.  @Ryan_DeWitt  Poverty is a choice in much of the world, certainly the USA. But if cutting your driving cost by 4 or 5X matters, typically does, they'll be buying a BEV over next few yrs regardless of how long that ICE may last. (exception for those only driving few k miles/yr, then that '94 Civic good to go) Even before the insane subsidies, in America it's ignorant to buy a new Camry without considering a Tesla 3 or Y, even a Corolla in most cases will cost you more over 5 yrs than a Model 3. Other brands aren't there yet.

Yes you can buy and sell anytime the market is open, but DO NOT trade, invest for the long term. Retail (aka., amateur traders lose), over time you must gain a solid base of conviction in whatever COMPANIES you own so that you don't sell at the worst possible time, when the company is doing great but the stock, or market as a whole is falling. Don't confuse price action with company prospects, ultimately the two will align but not in the short term.

  15098.  @rogerstarkey5390  Another angle: We've seen FAR more stressful times in Tesla, 2018 the worst in recent memory, Elon was sleeping on the factory floor for many months, for all to see that HE was getting it worse than anyone else and there to be woken at any moment to solve problems on the assembly line as they struggled with the ultimate test of 1st mass production. Wasn't clear they would survive but Elon never quits. Today Elon is confident, relaxed and enjoying himself. Not complacent but able to laugh easy. Possible he's kidding himself but probably not to THAT degree. I have reason to expect they will solve crucial problems and continue to perform like no one else even attempts to. If the 4680 continues to lag, as it has so far (no big surprise to me), it won't be pain free but they'll find a way as they always have. Such confidence doesn't come quick and easy, I as millions of others, stressed with them. Over the yrs you begin to understand, they don't DO EASY but they find a way. Probably Elon's greatest strength is building spectacular teams and motivating them to do the barely possible. You may not have that confidence, most understandably don't, but you may not have "seen" what I and others lived thru. As an investment--I can only suggest you take the time to gain SOME of that same sentiment or simply stay clear. There are no shortcuts. Without REAL CONVICTION you'll bail at the worst possible time. Many claim conviction but betray the opposite by fretting over meaningless stock price action. They don't want to admit it but they are not invested they are gambling, a losers game.

  15099.  @rogerstarkey5390  Not going to write a thesis statement here. You don't see much of what's actually happening, do you? You either have confidence in the facts, hints and expectations expressed by Tesla or you don't. Did you SEE when they modified the front/rear castings or went from 1 to 2, and all the other improvements? Not until they were out on the street you didn't, and then not until Sandy Munro exposed them. Not my job to convince anyone else. I've followed Tesla and Elon for over a decade with increasing intensity, made a fortune on it and expect to dwarf that going forward. If you are looking for absolute certainty you are in the wrong universe. Doesn't exist. That it's HARD is why the opportunity is so great, STILL. Decide for yourself. Your conclusions and choices are not my burden or concern.

  15101. Yes those cans are used that way and my understanding is CATL is making that form for Tesla. But it's not a huge deal to do the batt pack with blades or whatever, still structural. Batt pack should always be structural to some degree, it's always has some strength/rigidity which should reduce 'body in white' structure in that area of vehicle no matter who's building the car. For Tesla they can simply build the pack a little different to get the same structural properties out of it even if small trade offs required in weight and complexity, that way the rest of car can be identical with either type of pack.

  15120.  @theairstig9164  It's a reality today in California...if you mean the "virtual grid" via optional home/business batts as peaker-plant replacements, feeding the grid for brief intervals on max demand hrs. It won't stop in Cali, tho the current (pun) return will need adjustment over time. Will be international. TLTR!::::: Test runs suggest homeowner may recieve10 to $60 per event from utility Co Presumably a few hrs each typ. You can opt in or out at anytime, specify personal reserve minimum and so on, naturally. 'Events' could be months apart or a few per week when ACs running max, mid summer afternoon. (tentative understanding) So you can automatically draw from grid at low prices to sell back or combined w excess solar. Peak solar is close to peak demand in a Cali type climate tho right when u need it most too maybe.

They should. (realizing some complications, steel pipe hydrogen embrittlement?? Leakage, diff combustion characteristics....) Process as described should very gradually increase atmospheric O2, assuming oxygen makes it to surface, H2 will find a way out and then mostly leave Earth entirely, leaving less water and more O2. By us burning it there's no net change in water or O2, just a cycle.

  15125.  @imfloridano5448  Interesting idea, sounds likely under assumptions-- can't be oil, or liquid alone, has to be compressible something, gas on top of oil, and there needs to be significant friction for gas compression to dissipate energy, not just a spring but damper too. Those requirements seem typical in real life. Even if real may not be 'significant', IDK. (ignoring the sources of said waves)

  15157.  @labandonaldhock80  You don't understand...all combined uses beyond fuel are tiny in comparison and can easily enough, cost effective at far lower than today's petroleum price, be made from biomass profitably. Oil is the easiest extracted commodity to replace other than water. Example: Local to me we have massive piles of wood chips that used to be consumed in wood fired electric plants, much more is readily available but now burned dirty in open fields (retarded politics). A subsidiary of Shell Oil proposed a $200M plant to turn the cellulose into diesel, kerosene (Jet fuel) with some H left over. (goes without saying that rubber, plastics, fertilizers, lubricants, etc., can be made instead) Not sure if it will happen but it's a viable technology, the only thing likely slowing it down is previous cheap petrol and toxic California policy environment against building anything new. Many other ways to create oil and it's derivatives for everything but mass surface transport fuel, not about to be enough for that. Gasoline and diesel going to be mostly obsolete by say 2035/40. Methane for rockets can be created from electricity, air and water...or obviously, decaying biomass.

  15181.  @robincollis6349  Maybe if expensive enough and frequently serviced CVT could last, fact is they don't even if serviced. Same with old fashioned fluid drive trans, they never did last well. Differentials rarely fail unless run dry ore utterly abused. Great comparison, a well made EV drive train will easily last 1 million miles with a few oil changes. Meanwhile and ICE will suffer around 100 oil changes in 1M miles, but they only last an average of less than 200k, some can go 500k (Honda, Toyota, expensive diesels) and when they are worn out the car is totaled. I've worked on 100's of semi trucks--MFGs been struggling to get them to 1M miles for many yrs, even oil filters on diffs and getting pretty close. VERY rarely is the diff the reason we are working on it even at 800k miles.
    1
  15182.  @robincollis6349  Yes it's more accurate to call it a single speed drive train or transmission. (semantics in this context) VERY different from one with multiple ratios in terms of cost, complexity, weight, and opportunities for failure. Every continuously variable trans made today fails before 150k miles, half to fully totaling the car, most fail well before 100k, older style autos also fail. Only manuals can last but then the clutch may fail depending on abuse, expensive to replaced due to labor.

Trevor looked surprised when a screen sort of functioned while showing it off to an uninformed reporter. That was all after going public. Trevor was claiming "total vertical integration" and in the next sentence or next public airing he was claiming "they aren't making anything themselves". One significant electrical component they claimed to make themselves had a piece of tape over the real mfg label. On and on and on.....so many red flags it's funny, not the least of which was Trevor selling as much stock as he could right out of the gate. The whole saga is hilarious and most anyone in the name has rightly lost their shirt, they asked for it. OH....and the whole concept of "the next Tesla" is childishly stupid.

  15245.  @992GTS-DC  "A problem that doesn't exist" just like power steering solved, we steered fine long before power assist. How do you know what you are missing until you use it?
    1
  15246.  @992GTS-DC  Not sure it applies to all models this century but take an F-150/250/350, lose engine power (which was common some yrs ago) and you can effectively no longer steer. Sure as HELL take electric/electronic over that.
    1
  15247.  @992GTS-DC  And why don't you worry about same for throttle/braking by wire at 88mph? Because such critical systems are not vulnerable to that. "Out of Spec" just did a 'run-it-to-zero' test on CT, until it stopped moving, everything shutting down yet steering continued to work fine to be towed to charger on it's own wheels. My criticism of Tesla's sensor suite is the lack of sideview cams at very front of cars, not lack of sonic sensors. Big missed opportunity there.
    1
  15248.  @992GTS-DC  Stalks I definitely agree. Parking sensors shouldn't be required but it's true they lag badly getting that right, CT has 'birds eye' view I believe, IDK why it's taking so long for the rest. See Cammisa on Hagerty on CT for why to go with steer by wire, at least for that rig it's a vast improvement, I see no reason it wouldn't be better for all vehicles. Granted this is very old anecdote but I once broke steering shaft on old manual steer 1-ton Chevy, sure as hell take Tesla's CT system over that setup. We've had throttle by wire for decades and never been a problem with it, yes steering is even more critical but not by a hell of a lot, done right safety won't be an issue. Airliners have been 100% fly by wire starting in late 1980's, hasn't ever caused a crash that I can think of.
    1
  15249.  @992GTS-DC  Why do you think no one used 48V while talking about the need to do so for 30 yrs? Because it's not easy to make the change and lazy Legacy MFGs don't do difficult. Same for steer by wire. Steer by wire will need to sense resistance, no reason that can't be transmitted to the steering wheel, to some extent it already is in the Cybertruck according to at least one test driver. Is it worse than a typical pickup? Not from what I gather and software can make it whatever you want.
    1
  15250.  @992GTS-DC  There is no fundamental reason steer by wire feedback can't be as good as anything else, but it won't be until refined which can be done w over the air updates. Should have multiple settings to choose from ultimately. Model Y is not a sports car, it's a family SUV and never had good steering feel. Agree that a sports car absolutely needs exceptional feedback, one of the reasons I choose BMW E92 M3, last of conventional hydraulic steering, successor was unrefined and lacked classic BMW feedback.

I appreciate Santa Barbra but like to live well North of Sac/Bay Area, can't very well do the high population density of South 3/4s. Freedom diminishes with density. We have seasons, higher highs but only rare frost. Also about the best natural landscape options anywhere from redwood coast to high Sierras, high desert. Alone in a giant redwood grove is more spiritual than a cathedral...others around sort of spoils that too.

Today a valuable worker can 'write their own ticket', get true market value. Minimum wage primarily eliminates entry level jobs, NO "worker" can receive more than they are worth to society, to their employer, regardless--when that threshold is breached another job simply disappears. We could do a ton of good for the world to roll back childhood work laws a little, be more Amish where they enjoy learning work ethics at a young age, it's crucial to childhood development. Similar for family farms, ranches and some other small businesses. Those kids always grow up more responsible, respectful and capable.

Robo by August need not happen, that's the reveal of specifics, the actual cars, the biz plan. Tesla team can see FSD 3 to 6 months forward of where it's released today. TSLA will be sailing if robos begin in late 2025 say, if it's later that's worse but the TAM is spectacular a few yrs forward. Every other MFG will have to license software from Tesla, that process could start at anytime, similar to the charging network access, one domino (likely Ford) will fall and the rest will follow. It'll take a few yrs to implement in other MFGs so they best get moving.

It's that good in his highly tuned, experienced opinion. Don't let emotions cloud your judgement. IDK, maybe you have some axe to grind with Elon and Tesla. That's your issue not my concern.

Have you driven a Tesla across country or listened to those who do? It's not a problem for the most part. I have range anxiety and fueling frequency issues in my old 2011 BMW M3 sometimes.

(concerning more recent proposals) Elon: "Don't need it, delete DELETE." Tesla also turned down similar EU monies for Berlin plant. But when subsidies are across the board, no matter what industry, you pretty much have to take them to be competitive whether like 'em or not. Only thing good about recent excessive subsidies is breaking dependence on China, they aren't needed, the BEV train has left the station and won't be stopped.

These lands MUST and WILL BURN it's a matter of at a time of our choosing, frequently with low fuel build up or after decades of fuel build during hot dry season. Most in Cali this season were lightening triggered, you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.

Sunlight also crucial for mental state in itself, UV exposure not required. Since vigorous exercise is a requirement of a healthy life regardless, and it's certainly only going to help, do it. For many it seems to be the doorway to a total cure. I get it that if one is consumed by depression it's very difficult to get motivated to do that first step, whatever that step may be. It can become a habit--having a bad day? Workout, rev up the heart for 30 minutes and everything begins to get better. Consume the stress the way it was intended.

They all treated me well as I did them, a few even thanked me which is really sweet, made me feel good about it. Coming back for more is communication enough. :D Almost no one here wants advice, let alone from me, but...anyone who wants to escape solitude and get laid sometimes::::: Get the heck offline and out and about. I just now met a sexy single neighbor, also lives alone, we did some shopping at antique/thrift stores, traded numbers w tentative plans to get together. My odds for getting physical w her are good. Start by mixing it up with girls who you mainly like the personality of but that aren't attractive enough to be in demand, even fat chicks, hopefully grateful to have the attention. Be surprised how much quality FUN practice and education a wanting, less attractive girl can offer. The experience may set you free to advance from there. . Can lead to a relationship or just a pleasant FB situation, it's up to YOU. As soon as you are getting satisfied, no longer blatantly thirsty, others will become available.

  15376.  @Jogeta5  Absolutely and we must have a multi-method approach to diverting or...last resort...blasting incoming objects. One thing seems to be missed is that while the center of mass will still be on same trajectory, the mass itself can virtually entirely miss Earth if we were to crudely nuke an impactor. Simply spreading it so wide that only the debris that's randomly going straight toward or straight away from original object trajectory would still be on a collision course, with the bulk of it spread as wide as--say the orbit of the moon. Possibly multiple nukes in rapid succession (or simultaneously if the 1st blast would take out follow up missiles) for insurance against failure of one missile and to further accelerate the pieces away from the impact trajectory. Way sub optimal compared to diverting it yrs in advance but we won't foreseeably find all of them yrs ahead of time. We should have an option for only days to weeks notice. Rockets on fulltime standby.

Science is verified because it's derivatives work, every scrap of technology that your life depends on is based on math and science. NONE of it came from scriptures. Christianity did everything possible to slaughter folks advancing science over the centuries. We rightly derisively label "Wokism", Marxism, etc., as religions. We universally don't respect religions except for the ones WE were indoctrinated with.

Yeah fossils have their place and will for a few more decades at least, just not for your home or personal transportation. ICE cars are finished this decade for simple economic reasons. You need to update yourself, while the fossil fuel status seems static, which lulls you into thinking that your 2 decade old barebones understanding of other tech is still relevant, it is NOT. Batt storage is a tiny footprint, price/performance highly compelling and getting more so every yr. One can cost effectively live off grid right now in much of the world, power your home and car off your roof. I know I will with next house build in a few yrs. I still love my 'old' BMW V8, bit of a petrol head really, but it's day is about done like it or not. Nukes are fine, NatGas is pretty good. All fossil consumption is better than consuming our forests for fuel as we would have. Petrol saved the whales too.

My tiny disagreement is solar n wind forward viability...coupled with efficient affordable massive batteries, combined now are unsubsidized economically competitive in many cases...not all and NOT OVER NIGHT. Fossils are heavily subsidize too, if mostly indirectly, I'd both free them some and reduce subsidies. Gov ultimate monopoly is stupid, private sector relatively smart by Darwinian forces. (Darwin always wins in the end anyway) Solar n batt eventually a no brainer where I live, max self-sufficiency and economy. I don't fear CO2 up to say 500 ppm, then reassess.

If it's dogmatic, if things are taken on 'faith' (faith as in the typical religious usage--the excuse one makes for not having good reasons for their beliefs.) then it is automatically bad.  There is always a price to pay for avoiding thinking and learning, to dodge the necessity of thought by subjecting one's mind to ANY entity is inherently lazy and dangerous.  No doubt some faiths are worse then others but dogma should ALWAYS be challenged.

That is NOT an entity to be respected let alone worshiped I know you too look the other way, don't let yourself consider what your God is obviously doing or FAILING to do.

BEVs will be the poor man's only choice in just a few yrs, already nearing purchase price parity with ICE and vastly cheaper to operate. Few exceptions--say one only drives 3k miles/yr, that '94 Civic good to go. Choices are good, I still love my old BMWs, particularly 9k revving E92 M3 V8, but I can afford it, most can't. Unfortunately won't be but a decade before petrol becomes hard to find and even more expensive as it becomes increasingly obsolete. Fortunately BEVs will be vastly superior utilitarian rigs making everyone a little more prosperous.

  15502.  @nthgth  As long as you refresh your gas cans often enough that the fuel is still useable.

  15603.  @chrisose  Although typically on "Elon time", aka. late, for every vehicle offered so far the real specifications have exceeded the hype when independently tested. At some point you just, tentatively at least, take his word for it. I too have been skeptical about batt mass for long range trucking but bats just took a big step in wt. reduction and charging speed increase with more improvements all but inevitable. It may take a few yrs but you too will be driving a Tesla semi (or competing brand E-truck), assuming you drive trucks as implied. And you'll love it.

Bio fuel from 'waste' cellulose, algae and so on is a far better bet and can be done competitively with petrol.

There is nothing supernatural about a thermal nuclear event, bodies were burnt not melted unless obese perhaps and then it was only the fat, not the skin, muscle or anything else. Try to imagine some newspaper melting under any conditions, it's sort of like that.

Granted the kid shouldn't have been driving at all but had he not been steered hard left while stopped he wouldn't have nearly caused a potentially lethal accident, would have only lurched straight ahead instead of into me and other oncoming traffic.

  15683.  @FirstnameLastname-yc2mt  I began to transform into a competent self sufficient adult well before 18. By 21 I was living off my tiny shoestring steel contracting biz. What have your kids accomplished?

  15687.  @jackcarraway4707  They were superb and we ALL thrived. Let's see how you and yours fair, very poorly I suspect. If you believe in coddling I'll guarantee bad results. Neighbor cross the road, only son, nice guy but obviously not happy, late 20's, no drivers license bc he's terrified of driving, obese virgin who ventures out of the house twice a week to take out the garbage. He's all but certain the end of their family line. But HEY--mommy takes care of him that's what counts, right?

  15688.  @CASTRO45ACP  If you have required significant responsibilities, chores since 5, increasing all along to present AND they are anxious to fly, they'll do fine. If they've been coddled then you have ruined their future. The extreme case is "trust fund babies", the most pathetic ppl in America, pity them, doubt I'd done much better without chance for character building struggles.

  15691. Titter files make the extreme corruption of US Banana Republic undeniable and the evil Establishment Machine aiming everything at Elon to distract us. Truly unprecedented.

  15693.  @alexm6715  Suit yourself. Depends a lot on how they were raised and innate disposition. IF they are chomping at the bit to leave then probably not a problem. IF they are content to avoid taking care of their own biz and you allow that? Probably forget about having grandchildren. I get how immature 20 somethings can be today if raised without household responsibilities, as easy peasy it is of late. Let them stay till 40?? End of family line most likely but none of MY BIZ. Totally different 150 yrs ago when kids were grown up by 15, or raised on a family farm or business today taking on chores and serious responsibilities starting at 5. They can take care of selves at 16. 20's is crucial to establishing life trajectory. A 30 yr old female is past her ability to retain a high value man, simple biological, evolutionary imperative.

  15697. Label any critic and dismiss him for your own slanderous popular culture pejoratives. Then none of your fan base will tune into Matt, or whoever.

  15698.  @brunoheggli2888  Lol. BYD not even close but close to breaking even on them that's better than legacies. Yeah I've made a modest fortune on TSLA because I don't let emotions control me like most ppl here obviously do. "Let your winners run."
