Elon Musk

so tesla might have to actually compete at some point...

but sales of evs just havent gotten to the point thats forcing the big players to actually take them very seriously

if he weren't evil scum I might find it sympathetic and relatable that he appears to fully lose his mind once every few months

lol true

gotta think well see this eventually one way or another guys like him tend not to stick around, unless he manages to just totally drive the whole business under, but even then youd think one of the big companies wld want to scoop tesla up

for now

if they manage to maintain that condition i will respectfully doff me cap to mr elon

Need all roads converted to giant Qi charging pads before electric becomes adoptable by renters and people in apartments

yeah

is tesla stock gets to the point where a car manufacturer could afford to acquire the company, that will be because it's going out of business.

damn, wonder if anyone's considered shorting it?

I’m building a DC fast charging network at the moment and this isn’t true. It’s like going to the petrol station except you plug it in for 20 minutes and go and have a coffee or buy some groceries or whatever you want to do while it charges.

lol at Elon twitter stans being torn pretty evenly between "clearly he's been hacked" and "idiots don't get his jokes"

we need a lottery ticket that takes 20 minutes to scratch

his stans also think he *invented* Paypal from scratch

PayPal also sucked and was (is I guess, thankfully I never have to use it anymore when paying online) bad.

I go to a gas station once a week at most for 5 minutes, I don’t think it’s feasible for people to put in 20 minutes several times a week in terms of adopting electric.

If you can’t charge in the place where you park every night I don’t think most people would buy an electric.

we have a lot of charging stations here but that wasn't the case 5 years ago.

People are notorious for letting their car get down to fumes because that five minutes at a gas station, which can be found everywhere, is a hassle.

lagoon turning into a car guy has been a good low key ilx subplot

lol it's true

The point is with DC fast charging is it won’t necessarily be at petrol stations it will be at stores and restaurants and you’ll get enough charge for the week in minutes not hours whilst you do what you do.

The first generation of AC was pretty useless when installed at grocery stores because you can’t get a meaningful charge in the time it takes to do your shop. With DC you’ll be full by the time you come out. And full will be several hundred kilometres.

Interestingly we have some data from a municipal DC fast charge network in California and by far the most used charger is the one in the food coop parking lot and the session data looks a lot like people dropping in for a weekly shop and a weekly charge (along with some ride-share drivers dropping in daily).

It’s obviously super convenient if you can charge at home but in large parts of the world it’s not necessary.

Yea charging stations I've seen are usually in parking lots

thats what i said! tho also the stock price cld just come down to earth

I get the sense Tesla stock is probably more like Bitcoin than a traditional stock

Muskcoin

the stock market just went up by 13% in a month when 30 million people filed for unemployment, the whole market is like dicecoin

lmaoooo

sick of grimes gold digging

listened to the new record and he heard a single

The future was wide open.

His tesla chassis had loose parts that would jingle

maybe we should look back at what he was doing the last few times he had children. as in, lots of children per pregnancy, iirc

IVF tho

i don't wanna think of Elon cumming thx

which naturally he was probably doing to a .jpg of himself

I meant maybe he’s gone bonkers for a while each time he‘a become a dad

maybe the effect is cumulative

That exchange sure doesn’t bode well for them. They should have just named the kid Shared Custody.

https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-threatens-to-move-factory-sue-california-hea-1843362925

Tesla is actually a meatpacking plant.

Nobody's mentioned the kids name, which is just going to mean a lifetime of getting red * next to text input boxes.

lmao what the fuck is this guy's problem

Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.
