Strong Non-Tesla EV presence at the 2022 New York International Auto Show
It's worse than the article says and, as legacy auto volumes fall, they either have to advertise less or the costs go even higher. I've seen credible figures the true advertising cost per car is approaching $2K. The smaller figures don't include the advertising the auto dealerships use to get... -
Strong Non-Tesla EV presence at the 2022 New York International Auto Show
Killing it for Tela is simply making more cars. Having more demand or penetrating new demographics doesn't help them. Not even a little bit. My anti-advertising stance is simply because I don't want to pay for something as useless as corporate advertising. I know what kind of vehicle I want, I... -
Strong Non-Tesla EV presence at the 2022 New York International Auto Show
That's some faint praise. OK, GM is not quite as far behind Tesla as everyone else. But you are confusing me because you used to say that Ford was positioned well in the EV space (compared to the rest). It doesn't really matter which it is because they are both so far behind Tesla in terms of... -
Strong Non-Tesla EV presence at the 2022 New York International Auto Show
Tesla has no demand problem now or in three years from now. I'm not sure what part of that you don't understand. No one can compete with Tesla on price, Tesla is raking in the profits by the wheelbarrow load at current prices while legacy auto is struggling to break even at prices set so high... -
Where will all the New Employees At Giga Texas Plant Live?
The video talks about the high quality of construction but then at 3:31 they show the rim joist being toe-nailed into the sill plate. Around here that would be a sign of a contractor who just didn't give a crap. ?‍♂️ -
We have some definite challenges ahead.
If evacuated tube heaters will work, solar panels and a heat pump water heater will work better. You will want to vent the cold air from the heat pump to the out of doors in the winter months. -
We have some definite challenges ahead.
There are solutions for that. The woodstove can have a dedicated air intake from outside. If you want to get more advanced you can install a fresh air heat exchanger designed to maintain a slight positive pressure in the structure. This can be installed anywhere on the same level as the stove... -
Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz
If one can only know why Tesla makes an acquisition if that person was on the Board of Directors, and you stated that Tesla's three acquisitions were for reasons of patents and IP, then it logically follows that you were on Tesla's Board of Directors. Therefore, if you were not on the BoD, you... -
Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz
My wife and I were both early adopters of the Model 3 and, going on four years, no issues of any note. My wife's broken charge port door was fixed by a mobile tech in our driveway. My failed trunk switch was repaired the same way. It's been clear sailing. It's true the Cybertruck will have more... -
Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz
Tesla didn't buy Grohmann, Maxwell or Hibar primarily for their customers, for their intellectual property, or to thwart the plans of competitors. All three companies were purchased primarily to grow the Tesla team with high-value employees so they could ramp battery production and improve... -
Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz
I said you argued against the idea that Tesla would not do a deal with Mercedes. The reason Tesla will not hook up with any legacy automakers boils down to culture class. Tesla has far superior corporate culture that runs deep and strong within the company (that's why they are so successful)... -
Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz
You argued against the idea that there is no way in hell Tesla is buying or merging with Mercedes. However, your argument that you can't think of another company that's a better fit assumes Tesla wants to or needs to merge with someone. Obviously, Tesla is not being forced to pick another auto... -
Model S Plaid on a dyno
As usual, it makes even more power than Tesla claims! This helps explain why it can beat the Lucid Air so easily. -
DeLorean EV coming?
I think it's a safe assumption that it will have stainless steel body panels. That's assuming it makes it to market, of course. Unfortunately, I think it's also a safe assumption that it will be traditional uni-body construction (which just means the body will not be ultra-strong) and it won't... -
We have some definite challenges ahead.
This is misleading because it doesn't account for efficiency. For example, as we switch from oil and natural gas heating to modern heat pumps that run on electricity, the efficiency goes way up. So we can replace 3 units of fossil fuel energy with one unit of electrical energy. Also, EV's are... -
White House to Meet with GM, Ford, others to Discuss EVs
I'm not attached to the word at all. In fact you are the one who used it describe Tesla and I just think it's really telling the way you inserted the word "privileged" in there. How is that even logical? -
White House to Meet with GM, Ford, others to Discuss EVs
I don't feel rude for having questioned the meaning of "privilege" in the context you used it. Which was that Tesla doesn't need subsidies because they are privileged. It would seem sufficient to simply say they don't need the subsidies. I'm not sure what extra meaning it adds to say "because... -
White House to Meet with GM, Ford, others to Discuss EVs
It's not that Biden "needs" to mention Tesla. It's that it's awfully strange that he doesn't want to champion America's newest automaker that is successful and builds cars using well-paid American workers with the highest 'Made in USA' content of any car out there. Most Presidents want to... -
White House to Meet with GM, Ford, others to Discuss EVs
Can you clarify your comment that Tesla doesn't need subsidies, "but that's privilege"? It's not privilege, it's the result of hard work and innovation to drive down costs and bring consumers real value. Tesla didn't get any subsidies that were not also available to every other car maker. -
How many shares of Tesla do you own?
To be clear, he's saying it is a possible scenario, not his personal forecast of what he thinks is most likely. The difference is the former is simply one way it could play out while the latter would be a prediction of the most likely outcome. I know, kind of splitting hairs linguistically but...
