    Elon Talks Economy, Possible Discounting, Demand Issues, Stock Sales, and TSLA on on Twitter Spaces

    No, I was not in the market for a new car (Tesla or otherwise) in 2019. I only wanted to reserve the CT. I was fine with the multi year wait.. better chance to buy with cash or at least a big down-payment.

    Elon Talks Economy, Possible Discounting, Demand Issues, Stock Sales, and TSLA on on Twitter Spaces

    Yes, I am. The market crash of 1987 and the 1991 recession that followed was the first one I witnessed. Since then I've watched and learned in the subsequent ones. It made me fairly conservative with finances. Now I am debt free. Feels awesome. One example: I am still driving my 2006 daily...

    Tesla's AI Day Event Did A Great Job Convincing Me They're Wasting Everybody's Time

    I started reading and asked myself what is with this guy, and then scrolled to the bottom and sure enough it was written by Jalopnik. Figures. Here's the thing: Every time I drive, I'm already surrounded by people who are driving, but not driving, and they are not driving Teslas. They are...

    Toyota Prius Driver Pulled Over for Starlink Dish on the Hood, Surprised

    Apparently the Prius driver already tried turning right against an obstructed view judging by the damage to the passenger side of the car. Lol.

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Yes, recent versions especially the upper trim levels gradually added strength to the brand, and then Ford added the badge to an electric SUV/CUV, which is my point. I didn't say that it was. The parallel is that in both instances (1) the Mustang II and (2) the Mustang Mach-E, Ford strayed...

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    No worries. Given your age, I'm sure that the Mustang II is ancient history for you. But I'm only a few years older, and I remember the crappy car and the lasting negative brand effects very well. In fact, at an early car buying age, it turned me off from ever considering buying a Mustang. As...

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Yep, the automotive press is speculating, and using the popular Rally Yellow in their renderings. Heres the thing. In my opinion, it's not about how fast or capable an SUV/CUV is. It's about a manufacturer watering down a storied brand just to compete in the next hot trend. SUV's and...

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Yeah, I get it. An ICE manufacturer hedged their sales bets with a new electric car by invoking the familiar brand recognition of their popular car. My opinion is that there's no imagination or innovation to that. It was the same tactic that GM used with their behemoth Hummer resurrection.

    Nice video. So, gigapresses are eliminating robots? I guess they had it coming. Lol

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    I can't believe that Ford sullied the Mustang name by putting it on an SUV. Of course I always wondered if the Mustang GT Cobra was a horse, or a snake? And aren't horses afraid of vipers? Inquiring minds want to know. Will the hyper SUV version be called the Ford GT-E? ...sarcasm off... I...

    Model S Plaid Delivery Event

    That was a nice delivery event, and an awesome model refresh. Can't wait for the revised CT design reveal.

    Study: Tesla's Range, Performance, Styling Attract Buyers, Musk Detracts

    Well said. That was my take too. As far as Tesla and Musk are concerned, (coming from a non-Tesla customer and a non-BEV owner), I saw Tesla as the head and shoulders leader in BEV. Now that the tipping point is upon us, competition is on the horizon and approaching fast. That is a good thing...

    protestors outside fremont factory

    My mistake. Although, would the issues at Lathrop facility 2 years ago have concided with the Model 3 "Production Hell" phase the company endured? As I recall, it was a make or break time to prove to the Street that they could ramp up production and hit their their estimates. Musk was in the...

    protestors outside fremont factory

    Wait a minute. The OP said the people passing out and ambulances were from a different company, that it was 2 years ago and the company resolved the issues. OP, do you have any credible facts about this situation to share? I wouldn't want us to jump the gun based on rumor.
