First, thank you for giving my suggestion/thoughts the time of day. The cat missing an ear, blind in one eye and cannot see out of the other like
@Artful Dodger had at one point more accurately reflect me throughout life.
Everything you said, is spot on. However, I am, and never have been money driven. That is how and why I scared the holly crap out of legacy officers. They were focused on doctrine and promotion (ring knockers) ~ I was focused on doing the challenging work that provided me personal gratification/challenge.
Nothing I say will become “the Tesla (TSLA) way.” However, Elon is a multidimensional thinker ~ not an engineer; engineering is just a sideline or tool. His thinking could formulate immediate corrections to stabilize the nose bleed while relocating and or retooling the current situation. This becomes a long-range plan.
We/Tesla need to focus on the long run/end game. I bought into the long game of purchasing Solar City for Solar Tesla roofs. I installed sixty panels on my 2021 purchased home. Nothing to do with Tesla other than four Powerwalls. I could not beg a contractor to redo my roof with Tesla solar roof after removing a metal roof. Later, I found that there were too many angles on this roof and out of circle of influence ~ too far to drive for install team. I tried!
I know the ramifications of bleeding money ~ I have been my whole life. I like to do what might be good, not what is doctrine/legacy. Telling me “no” is like waving a red flag in my face. Yes, I know, red is the Field Artillery color.
@Krugerrand ~ “No” might be the correct answer, I just do not like missing a target of opportunity.
Cheers
FYI ~ no Elon will not give me a military discount on my X.
