that chart is apparently not very different to amazon in 1999, and well, it was a bubble but it was also a good investment. the trick is spotting the difference i guess.

the trick is convincing yourself there is a difference that can be perceived by sufficiently informed people, and that you're genuinely smarter than those other investors and not just fucking lucky

Must be hard for him to realise he’s not needed. Again. Though ironically his one car per mile tunnel might be the solution needed.

At Kimbal Musk's restaurants workers were told community mattered, that they were family. They contributed money out of their paychecks to an emergency fund for workers.

I would like to see a Musk-less Tesla in the same way we now have a Charney-less American Apparel. I realize that they aren't the same kind of awful, but still.

yea Teslas are pretty impressive though they're annoying for a lot of reasons and the interior design is pretty fucking awful
worth mentioning that Tesla existed before Elon bought it (and erased the real founder from memory) and almost certainly would be delivering a higher quality product without him

the big issue with them is they have a lot of defects and build quality issues, which is something you wld expect from a young quick growing company, where the big boys are mature and put a ton of effort into limiting stuff like a glove compartment handle snapping off on a six month old car, and tesla has of course been accused of juicing their stats on this sort of stuff
theyre in an interesting spot as theyve produced expensive novelty second cars for rich people their entire existence and are now trying to switch to making cars that people who only own one car can buy, its a huge lift and its gonna be hard for them to get it right all the manufacturing stuff theyve been fucking up on both quality and efficiency levels will just be amplified by trying to make more cars and selling them to people who are really depending on them

the biggest thing id give tesla credit for is recognizing the performances advantages that electric vehicles have and leaning into that, because an electric engine immediately delivers max torque the model 3 can accelerate like a nice bmw for half the cost, where the rest of the industry has been making dinky nerd electric cars even bmw lol, undoubtably that tech will change the performance segment of the whole damn industry before too long, theyre also way out in front as far as how they do the computery stuff always pushing new features in updates, and that youd think will also become industry standard too
so they def have innovated meaningfully but i but i have a hard time seeing them being logistically sound enough to really scale up, getting bought out by a company who already knows how to make cars good seems like the most likely path forward
