And then any laid off GM worker who actually wants to work can apply at Tesla I suppose...Well that is one way to ensure that you put the company out of business and don't have a job at all in the future.

Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

Was a huge supporter of unions at one time.
The auto sector unions have specifically gone on record now saying that their pocket is more important than possible futures for the Earth. Which makes them just like everyone else, and especially just like the employers and corporations they are negotiating with.
Way of the world I guess.

Here are my Tesla thank yous:
Thank you PG&E for making people understand the reason for a powerwall and solar.
Thank you Porsche for bringing out the Taycan, may it run faster than all of its ICE porsche brethren.
Thank you NIO for showing tesla how its not done.
Thank you drone operator for showing the world, step by step, how oil price manipulation works.
Thank you journalists for ignoring range anxiety in tesla killers.
Thank you Nurburgring raising the bar and getting tesla to wrap its cars at warp speed on your track.
Thank you cambridge analytica and facebook for showing the world how propaganda works and laying the roadmap to do this for other areas besides elections.
Thank you volatile organic compounds released at the gas station (in texas there are no hoods over the pumps) to make me realize how much i miss the gas station.
Thank you state of Texas for making electricity so cheap, but i'm told my home gas station installation is coming soon, so not sure what to do with all that cheap electricity.
Thank you UAW for exposing the US automanufacturers increased costs, so that they may be forced to go to EVs just to survive by costs alone.
Thank you for ignoring this post, since it is so poorly written it cannot be considered poetry.
IF by mistake reach the end of this post, and have not ignored, deleted or disagreed, please add more thank yous...

I’ve wondered when those who are potential winners from EV adoption would have the cojones to tell the FUDsters to lay off. In my mind these would be:
1) Energy providers - EVs represent a new market
2) Traditional automakers who are serious about an EV investment (I.e. VW, maybe). They may see attacks on Tesla as attacks on EVs in general.
Perhaps their influence is finally starting to prevail over whomever is behind current FUD.
Yeah, but did you see the SP below the article? In fact every time I refresh the screen it gives a different (incorrect) value

I looked a few hours ago and it was at 214!

Other winners include everyone with lungs and brains who don't react well to carbon monoxide and people who live in coastal cities...
Response: "One accident out of 550000 summons, in parking lots of all places? That's really impressive!"
If they challenge the "one" claim, point out that 550k was just on the first couple days alone. Never let anecdotes override statistics.
“Calls to halt EVs and automated cars would appear to hurt the very workers the UAW is representing. GM has committed to building the nation's "first union-represented battery cell manufacturing plant" in Ohio as part of a $7 billion investment over the next four years.”

Off the top of my head, Porsche a year or two ago negotiated a new contract with the union that allowed the company to keep pay flat for a number of years while investing the balance [from skipped raises] in their new EVs. I assume there was an employment guarantee.
There's not much time left for the ICE mammoths to prepare. It's not about getting it perfectly right, but being in a better position than your classic rivals. Volvo just presented a plan to hive off their IC engine production into a separate business while they concentrate on increasing the share of electrified vehicles.

I mean actual people, not derps paid to get clicks with nonsense.
I think that IS apples to apples. The level of safety inherent in a specific feature is impacted by how people use it. That's like saying guns are more dangerous than we think because most people who use them are shooting them away from people.

I was thinking about all the people out there with software limited batteries and how Tesla often releases the limit during natural disasters when evacuations are required.
It got me thinking that Tesla could EASILY create a rental program for the extra capacity. They could create a simple online interface where people with software limited cars could request to have the full capacity for a specific time period, and pay whatever the fee is. I would think this would be fairly popular for people taking weekend trips since it would reduce the charge time needed for the trip, or even allow them to make the trip in a software limited car.
It just seems like there needs to be some way to monetize that extra battery capacity - it wasn't free to Tesla. You may say, "but that will remove any incentive for people to pay to unlock their battery". If they haven't done it by now, they probably aren't going to. Besides, many people will wind up spending more on rental over time than the unlock would have cost anyway.
It's just an idea that came to mind this morning. I haven't totally thought it out.

Great to have them go in record that they would expect the Fremont workers to take one for the team and ruin Tesla if they organized.
