So, I only know what I read in the funny papers, but is Musk a complete fraud? Does he just have a shtick which happens to appeal to disaffected idealists too middle scrubbed to become socialists, and he trots that out like a Mr. Robot slash Ironman anti-hero, with zero behind it?

I'll admit that way back when I bought into his image, too. He seemed like a welcome change from the tech bros who wanted to make the world into some idiotic Snowcrash libertarian theme park. He seemed to have a streak of "burn it to the ground," and his baleful eye was cast upon the Finance Industrial Complex. "Like Jerry Lewis, he gave me hope to carry on."

But instead of Doc Savage, he's Doctor Oz.

Yes.

You would think more care would be taken with the cars being "hand assembled", but door panel lines dont line up, gaps in body panels are wildly inconsistent, gaskets between the window and body work are inconsistent.

But that's what "hand assembled" gets you.

Why so many people spend half a fortune on a hand-made quilt.
 
I wonder what the break up price of USCHO is at this point? Might be worth digging through my couch cushions just to watch heads explode on this site.

Here, I would think that hand built would mean they would take time to actually line things up. You also don't expect your car to be three different shades of the same color.


A hand made quit with a couple flaws is charming. A hand made car with flaws is a NHTSA investigation away from being a major safety recall.

The more availability there is, coupled with the major companies like GM and Ford pushing for larger electric lines hurts him badly. Right now Tesla is really all there is on a large scale.

Tesla is like Apple, the brand is what matters. (obviously quality doesn't) He likes that a large quantity of the charging stations are branded with his company name. (they have proprietary charging stations all over the place) He likes that when people think electric they think Tesla. BBB had as part of it upgrading the grid and putting out more charging stations to make it more viable. Making it viable means it is easier for Ford to roll out their plans for an electric line, which will be cheaper and likely on par with Tesla. That means people stop buying Tesla faster. Part of what makes Tesla so valuable is that it is really all that is out there and he has cornered a market. That dies when the infrastructure allows for it.

It is inevitable but like all villains he just has to try and push back progress as long as possible.

I couldn't find more information but did this not come to fruition? If not will it ever?
 
Yeah it is the lazy Democrats...not the Qucumbers who are spending all day "protesting". I mean I guess technically they got paid hourly but it was all cash according to the craigslist ad.

And what about all those Trucker Convoy people...definitely some lazy Dems there!!

Geez Drew troll better...

Do you think you’re funny?

You vote for piece of shit republicans. You shit on women, gays, minorities, public health, the economy, and the environment because guns make your wee wee hard.
 
Huh. Guess his trolling does work.

Drew just got his jollies for today. Hope the cleanup wasn't too messy.
 
I’ll post what I post every time he says anything. He’s not a troll- he honest to god votes for republicans

Apologies for trying to provide a bit of humor. I have realized the error of my old ways and am a staunch democrat ATM. Collins over Gideon was the right vote in the last election and Dems still got control of the senate. Chastising people like me isn’t going to help the Dems chances this fall.
