It is kind of sad to see the consolidation and the lack of choice. I don't see DeLorian making it, even as a boutique car. Everything in the future is going to look pretty much the same. There is only so much you can do to customize a skateboard. The EV retromod market might fair well by keeping some cool cars on the road as converts.
Hopefully at some point EV skateboards become so cheap that there's heaps of body and interior manufacturers that do completely custom tops for them. :)

The Magna concept is interesting. When battery energy density really increases, options may open up.

I would love to see Tesla crank out skateboards GP front/ rear and structural packs for third party makers.

Only problem is all of the 3rd party cars I think are interesting at 3 wheelers and Tesla wouldn’t make those.

MSFT is also down although Gates is not anymore in its active management.

But this illustrates how the two differentiated in the public comments:

Gates on Elon acquiring Twitter: "(Am) concerned about a proliferation of disinformation and misinformation in the name of free speech on the platform once Musk becomes its owner. Musk has said that the limit he'll impose on the microblogging site is the law (no such law exist)."

Elon on Gates: Post photo meme on Twitter of Gates with protruding stomach.

This was in response to BG Shorting Tesla to the tune of $500m, didn’t relate to the Twitter comments. Unless he reposed it.

I"m not sure that that I have to explain a joke or an analogy that both are genius and rich with more money than god.

But one is a juvenile with narcissistic personality disorder. Do I still have to elaborate as to whose who? :p

Genius. This whole week’s pricing action is due to the power of puns.


Yesterday: May the Forth Be With You
Today: Sinko De Mayo.

Tomorrow: Return of the Sixth? Freaky Friday?

I’m afraid to ask.
Will Sunday bring the mother of all rebounds?

Oh, wait. Market’s closed on Sunday. Drats!

I would love to have a classic body on an EV chassis.

1970 Connie Mark III comes to mind.
They were heavy and powerful and road like they were on rails.
Put that body on a Tesla Model S Plaid platform and you would have a true "Hot Rod Lincoln".
