I think the key man problem is overstated with Tesla. Hopefully there is a Tim Apple (;)) type with a bit more charisma in the wings. In the meantime, Mr Musk's wild ride will continue unabated with many cheering him on. I'm guessing many of his stockholder supporters are uncomfortable with the...

You're Canadian ... buzz off. But seriously the stuff that seems like a revelation to you has been going on for many years in many guises. You see, govt itself isn't the villain, people are and we are all imperfect beings and damn proud of it (some more than others).

Ranting? ... I only rant in the shower. TMI?

The bolded part just made all Autocrats a little moist. From the boardroom to the White House ...

Apparently my Threads rhetorical question has struck a nerve. This is a public square discussion on a very small scale but interesting none the less. I have read some well reasoned responses and it is good to hear other opinions. This world is very different than the 1950's-60's of my youth...

Great example of Frontier Gibberish :)

Really ... no one ? Who are you, f-ing Gandhi? o_O

The force is very strong in young Elon ... Look, I want a Cybertruck and will probably own one someday. In the meantime, I'd like to see Tesla flourish and grow to it's full potential. For those of you that think Elon has destroyed big auto with his lightsaber, you're delusional. Ford and GM...

I'm of a mind that the key man principle is vastly overstated here. Certainly his intuition, broad engineering chops and disruptive style was crucial in getting Tesla up and running but up and running it is. Might be time for a new CEO who shares his rapid innovation and lean design instincts...

As an inadvertent supporter (I own Tesla cars, solar and stock), I used to think Elon was your normal, run of the mill eccentric engineering genius. But with his impulsive desire for attention, this insecure, immature little man is undoing much of the good his obsessive hard work has produced...

Only got part way through last night but a fascinating interview. I was happy to hear a return to Tesla might be in the offing as he brings a lot to the table and seems to have a good understanding of, and respect for Elon which is an essential element.

I think the Astrodome is in Houston ...

Well, if the Quad version is the first CT model, it will create quite a stir and quell many early reservation holders due to a much higher price point. I suppose it's a good way to slow demand until production ramps up, but I think that is a flawed strategy. Pissing customers off is never a good...

For all you California haters ... you're right, you would not like living here so please stay where you are. South Dakota seems nice although the economy is a bit less robust.

You're no fun ...

Damn you practical people are so ... practical. I want the Cybertruck as my totally impractical, over the top, daily driver capable of driving (and apparently floating) anywhere. :cool:

That (the bolded part) is a prime example of a statement totally lacking "good predictive value". Uninformed speculation on what "people within Tesla" think or feel is a basis for the general FUD that follows Tesla like a virus. The company and it's founder are of course inoculated from this but...

Yes, apples/oranges comparison. The Texas Giga Factory is humming along and new line startup will be much easier now. If the Giga Casting goes as expected and the supply chain isn't an issue, the ramp to full production should be very fast by even Tesla standards. I see the "at scale" SS body...

Well my Samsung Android phone does software updates at least quarterly if not more. The wife's Iphone seems on a similar schedule although she chooses to ignore them. Must be a settings thing ...

Yep from a hardware perspective, my 2021 Model Y is very different than the current Y's coming out of Texas. Perhaps the essential point is, this is not your grandfathers auto manufacturer. Most people, our Government and Wall Street still do not get it. They expect Tesla to act like a car...
