I'm not sure why that got posted today, the article it came from is from February. Not exactly news.

I picked up my Model S Plaid two days ago in Jacksonville. They handed me my keys and said any questions look on YouTube. Definitely gone down hill since the red carpet treatment I got in 2014. The whole ordering process this go around had been horrible. I do believe in the mission and the product and I hope that customer service will improve.I’ve yet to have a negative customer service experience with my MY. Maybe my expectations are too low.
Have an appointment this week for tire swaps, winterizing windows and handles, and to check a rattle under the hood (a panel isn’t snapping back in to in place). Let’s see if I still feel the same after that day.
I googled this - got a link?News from Glasgow: EU will ban sales of new fossil fuel cars from 2035. Only zero-emission allowed.
This has been ratified and signed by all member states.
Not on squeaks and rattles. IIRC, that is a 12 month covered item.It’s a four year warranty
Musk has a small number of weaknesses, one of them is not realising that the US works by lobbying and the optimum thing to do is to cultivate politicians on both sides.
Doesn’t matter what politicians say but what they do. For example on a state level because of dealers influence Tesla can’t sell freely.
So far the product is to good but one day this oversight may hurt Tesla a lot more if adversaries use their political influence to actively thwart Tesla.
I don't know. Certainly not if the highway/freeway is outside the geofensed area.I don’t think Waymos will take the highway either, right?
But unless you’re planning to sell soon the recent dip from ATH is just noise, albeit unnerving no doubt. If the long term trend is holding up then all is well, right?As someone who is already 100% in TSLA, all I see is my portfolio shrinking. It’s not a buy opportunity because most of my life savings is already in TSLA. So yes, it’s irritating.
He's sold shares before and he told us a few months ago he would sell these shares. He's just selling some extra.This feels like one of those times when Elon has stabbed himself in the leg and is now twisting the knife... I understand his frustration, but he will never appease politicians and selling core Tesla stock was the one thing he said he would never do before he needed to fund missions to Mars.
It would be very enlightening to do this math for Ford and the F150e, F150 and CT..... . . .and there's more! This was part of what Clayton Christensen was pointing out when he wrote his book The Innovator's Dilemma.
Let's say Tesla makes $10k on each car while Legacy makes $2k on their Electric vehicle.
But for every electric vehicle sold an ICE vehicle sale is lost. If Legacy was making $10k on the lost ICE vehicle sale, they are down $8k ($2k less the $10k)
I worked a large company that held significant market share and we brought in Clayton Christensen to take us through the innovator's dilemma theory.
Bringing him in was meant to get us to think about changing our strategy (as startups were starting to disrupt our industry). When the session with Clayton was over, instead of motivating us to change, we walked out of there thinking, "We're Screwed".

Exactly.There is room to disagree but my point is not to fall into the trap of assuming the best answer can only be the traditional answer.
Honestly, I don't know what Musk is doing. I don't see all the angles.Musk has a small number of weaknesses, one of them is not realising that the US works by lobbying and the optimum thing to do is to cultivate politicians on both sides.
Doesn’t matter what politicians say but what they do. For example on a state level because of dealers influence Tesla can’t sell freely.

I wonder if we'll think that after Elon dumps his shares for the next couple of weeks.Weekends are such a drag…
It’s 2021. That’s the way things are and should be. Just like how video games don’t come with instruction booklets anymore. Anyone under the age of 50 just doesn’t need that stuff anymore, we’re able to learn on the fly. Not to mention Tesla had all kinds of tutorial vids on their site and in the app. I’d rather they spend time delivering cars than wasting time explaining features to people.I picked up my Model S Plaid two days ago in Jacksonville. They handed me my keys and said any questions look on YouTube. Definitely gone down hill since the red carpet treatment I got in 2014. The whole ordering process this go around had been horrible.

Musk calling their bluff. He knows the billionaire tax is nonsense...and he is sick and tired of being demonized for political points when the unrealized gains tax is not a real plan. So he just give them all the power right now..have Elon pay all the tax and tank the market..one word and Elon will do it(and he doesn't care about paying taxes nor does he need the money).Honestly, I don't know what Musk is doing. I don't see all the angles.
There are several conversations going on. At times, there is direct public dialog. Sometimes, it's using the other guy as a prop to make a point. Some of this dialog is really about an argument that is happening off-line. And then we have the conversation in DC and the internet that ebbs and flows every day as the government's voracious appetite for funding searches for the full pockets.
I do think it's important to keep in mind that at least in the US, the body politic is substantially to the center-right versus other countries. Sanders, Reich, et al. are not the ones making real decisions. This is in part a parochial discussion and at times it may be useful for Musk to make comments using them as a foil.
He should go his own way if it is the right thing - like revolutionize the auto industry and help limit climate change. But his juvenile/insulting comments on twitter (what we discussed today was by far not the first he has written lately) cannot be justified just by saying it is good for him to go his own way. Elon has not disrupted fossil fuel car industry by insulting the incumbents, but by setting a good example and dragging everyone along.Blimey, this forum still has members who think Elon Musk should follow the crowd rather go his own way. Interesting take on the man who has spent his whole life doing the opposite of what everyone else does.
