    Tesla files to become an electricity provider in Texas

    There is nothing wrong with expecting journalists to hold themselves to high standards. If I grade them on a curve, Lora Kolodny gets an "F" overall. She can't help herself, she's proven repeatedly that she is unprofessional. If your standards are lower than mine, that's your choice. I'm not...

    Tesla files to become an electricity provider in Texas

    It doesn't have to be false to be purposefully misleading. All of Tesla's quarterly reports are equally easy to access, and this goes for their annual reports too. You don't cherry-pick a quarterly report from over a year ago if you are trying to be an unbiased reporter. It's apparent to me...

    Tesla files to become an electricity provider in Texas

    You completely missed the point here. A journalist is supposed to provide the reader with a greater understanding of the story and do it in an unbiased way. The story was about Tesla becoming an energy provider in Texas. If she wants to give the reader a better understanding of how regulatory...

    WOW! From Barron's -Tesla Stock Is Dead Money. AI Day Won’t Change That.

    The best selling beer globally is Snow. I've never tried it. Yes, China is a big market as it's not even sold in North America.

    WOW! From Barron's -Tesla Stock Is Dead Money. AI Day Won’t Change That.

    A young home-brewer started Sierra Nevada Brewing back around 1978. He had no money so he needed business loans. But before he borrowed money he wanted to see if there was a market for his beer. So he brewed up a few 5 gallon batches and set up free tasting on the street (you could get away with...

    WOW! From Barron's -Tesla Stock Is Dead Money. AI Day Won’t Change That.

    Don't ever invest in a company you don't understand. That said, you could always dedicate the time to learning about the company. You might be surprised what you find out.

    Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    It's not "the government" it's individuals in government. I believe they think they can help level the playing field between their GM and Ford buddies and Tesla. But it wouldn't be the first time Congressmen had misguided goals that they failed miserably at. Or, maybe they really are ignorant...

    Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    The litmus test in whether Elon has done anything wrong in terms of being over-optimistic on the timeline for development of FSD is whether or not he believed what he said. That's right, to slap his hand regulators would have to have proof that Elon didn't believe what he was saying. Personally...

    Tesla files to become an electricity provider in Texas

    Well, I knew Lora Kolodny couldn't write an entire article about Musk or Tesla without taking an irrational dig and I was right. She had to go all the way back to Q2 2020 to pull out a juicy regulatory credit sales number and make it sound like Tesla was unfairly working the system (in fact...

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

    Jalopnik is an irrelevant dinosaur. The data shows Tesla's driver aids (including Autopilot) already reduce the chance of an accident by a considerable margin. It can't be rationally denied that the active safety systems and Autopilot already make our roads significantly safer. Preventing the...

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

    A lot of people don't know this but Autopilot isn't sold as an upgrade package, it comes for free on all Teslas these days. While Autopilot is more advanced than other manufacturer's advanced driver aids, it's still just an advanced driver's aid (and always will be). FSD is a product that is...

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

    To elaborate on that, the most common devices in the world called "autopilots" are of the marine variety. Most of them are consumer devices, used by regular folks who have recreational boats, bass boats, etc. There are millions of them in active use by regular consumers with no special training...

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

    On one hand you say if you DID have experience using Autopilot you would probably come around to seeing it our way. But then you continue to pretend like it's not all it's cracked up to be. I would suggest it's simply because you don't have enough experience to know what you are talking about...

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

    People without the experience of using Tesla's Autopilot on real-world highways for long enough to become proficient with it's use almost always fail to understand just how beneficial Autopilot really is. They can't imagine how it would reduce fatigue on long trips (although it does so rather...

    The lost history of the electric car – and what it tells us about the future of transport

    Maybe I could have worded it a ittle better but @Luke42 commented that it's easier to spend $70K on a highway capable vehicle than it is to convince people to change (what is required to drive around a city). I would say it's easier to spend $40K than it is to bring about those changes. ie...

    The lost history of the electric car – and what it tells us about the future of transport

    Why would you spend $70K on a Tesla when the desire is simply for a highway capable EV? The Tesla Model 3 (Standard Range Plus) is only $39K. Oh, and it has a range of 263 miles, a top speed of 140 mph and does 0-60 in only 5.3 seconds!

    A Tesla Bull Explains the Risks—and Where Cathie Wood Could Be Wrong

    What did you buy instead of TSLA? The market will have ups and downs and flat spots but the next two decades looks to me like it's going to be mostly one big bull market, never mind the couple of years here or there it under-performs or goes down. That's not to say it's not important to hold...

    Honda aims for 100% EV sales by 2040, zero road fatalities by 2050

    I'm not sure they are even doing that! To me it looks like they are just using words to convince us they are trying to go electric as quickly as possible. My observation is they are using this narrative to delay government mandates. If all major makers are committed to going electric ASAP then...

    Used more expensive than New

    Unfortunately, no one individual makes a market. If you were the only buyer, and there were lots of sellers, you could name your price. But in the real world, you need to compete with every other buyer out there. If you don't think the price is worth it, you don't need to buy it.

    Used more expensive than New

    I'm not sure what you are saying. All auto sales "take advantage of the current car market" which is to say they sell at market rates. As defined by supply and demand. Buy whatever suits your needs for the best value. I guess that means you will be "taking advantage of the current car market"...
