GM did pay dividends, so the shareholders have not done too bad. Obviously TSLA is in a different category. ford has still lost money even with dividends.
There isn’t much new here, but I like how he put the pieces together, and I like that it is published in an industry ezine. I can use it to send to others to help educate them. I do this not just with family and friends but also colleagues. It is interesting how the circle of Tesla and its owners and investors is expanding. I work in IT Services and there are some interesting overlaps into areas that Tesla is engaged in. I am going to send this article to some colleagues to try and get them to shift their paradigm on time to market. Wouldn’t surprise me if a side effect of that is them either becoming an owner, investor or both. It’s already happened in at least one case.Great article about the challenges facing the ICE car manufacturers:
Carmakers Face A Conundrum — An Economist's Perspective
The Carmakers' Conundrum is how to innovate as quickly as Tesla can to be able to compete in a world of computers on wheels.cleantechnica.com
He focuses too much on OTA I think. Very important to understand the Tesla changes and improves their assembly line—hardware and manufacturing—on a monthly basis or whenever it makes sense. This is faster than not just car companies, but actual electronics makers. The products Apple will ship in September already exist and are quietly making their ways into the hands of their suppliers to start setting up production. The cars Tesla will ship in June might be different from the ones shipping today.There isn’t much new here, but I like how he put the pieces together, and I like that it is published in an industry ezine.

Footnote: Tesla’s innovation cycle has made me much more impatient in my own company with internal time to market. The advantage of being close to retirement is what I like to call ”having more degrees of freedom.” I am inclined to call out folks for dithering, and to challenge slogans (“#1 goal is revenue…tell us what you need...”) with pointing to Tesla as an example and saying “we need to make this happen, let’s figure out how to do it this year…if Tesla can do it, why can’t we?” Thank you Elon
The guy with him says "No no no not from the bottom and the sides, they have double flow in there", referencing the two cooling ports on the side ribbons. A bit later Sandy references how this allows connections on only one side with both inlet and outlet ports on the same side. Nothing in that closeup shows any bottom cooling manifold.
Well it must be cooled from the bottom too… otherwise Sandy was Wrong not possible
Yes, said the range was 280 ish based on charge mileage and percentage (don't recall the numbers but that math checked).
@Beltsbear , investing in GM anytime prior to its bankruptcy would have resulted in a principle loss of 100% to Retail shareholders. "Not done too bad"? My friend, it doesn't get any worse.
