Tactically, remember the fundamentals!
The captain of the Tesla ship is on the bridge weathering the storm. For the moment, I assume Elon is still sleeping in the assembly area focused on bringing this assembly line up to speed.
There is no better form of leadership. His focus is the difference between a manager and a leader. Even if Elon does not say a word to anyone, the fact that he is there psychologically energizes all the people around him. They know the mission and they are giving it their all.
I have stated in the beginning, of my writings here, I do not believe in numbers. If I did, I’d be dead or sleeping under a bridge in a warmer climate. I have always flown under the radar, and right up the middle and always; okay, most of the time; okay, okay at least enough that I am driving over the bridge in our Model X
If you were listening awhile back, I think it was Mercedes, that said they were not going all-out automation. Lesson learned? We will see.
I am right here, vitamins in hand, flowing positive thoughts that Elon is way more capable than Superman
At my age, that is about all I can muster, and I am in better shape than the average, not to mention still alive. Okay, some wish I wasn’t; maybe they will get over it.
I started this before the "gofundme" came out for a new couch for Elon, and Elon's email about "I am in Charge." Very significant points here ~ fundamentals.
I saw a history channel about the historic battle between Electricity and Fossil Fuels a couple of years back, and according to this historians perspective Electricity lost twice. Elon/Tesla does no have a cavalry, in the traditional scene, no, Elon/Tesla are out there on their own. Fossil Fuels are not out there pumping out fifty gallon drums of fuel to load up your Model T. Thank god, Elon called it a Model S. No, Elon/Tesla are building their own refueling network of SuperChargers one pit-stop at a time across the nation, hell the world over. Can you imagine where we would be if another corporation was funding the infrastructure of the SuperChargers? If that ugly short mantra comes to pass (bankwupt); politically Obama or his replacement will not step in to save the day. Not one of the old and gray manufactures (did you miss my dry humor dig?) are leading the charge with newer and brighter ideas. Instead they are supporting the fossil fuel industry sinking dollar after dollar into those black gold holes, not refueling electricity. Back in my college days, graduated in 1975, I was told of the up and coming shortages (metals, oil, etc.) facing us. My wedding ring, probably twice to three times as wide as your gold band, cost me $200 bucks in 1973. Gold jumped to $600 an ounce right after that, what timing. When my father died on 1 January 2013 (what a tax nightmare), an ounce of gold was plus/minus $1,600. Tesla was somewhere around $30 a share.
I am standing by the one, Tesla, I believe will be worth handing off to my daughter, son-in-law and GrandPups. My son-in-law joked the other day that he just has to wait out four more years and Xena is his
Why not, we gave them a their first Prius when they got married, gave them our second one, plus our pickup truck when we bought the X. He figures it is a five year cycle. Funny, both our daughter and son-in-law are afraid to drive Xena
Our granddaughter four years ago, when she was four, asked her parents "when are you buying an electric car?" That is the future my friend, and I am there for them. May have to get them a Model 3 for them, my wife is not letting go of the "X" anytime soon
I looked over the competitions "i" models, you know from the article/tweet above, and then I looked at the numbers our buds provide at insideEV and, well "good luck with that "i" thing
Tactically, remember the fundamentals! Keep your FUDar on too
You may have heard "you go into battle with what you have," well, that my friend can be said about every thing in life ~ everything.
EDIT: This is a fragile dance we are watching, watch the toes ~ please. For me it is not just about the money; I cannot afford a pyramid. Tried to avoid Cat Stevens, "Cats in a Cradle," maybe I'll succeed with the GrandPups.
Last weekend of April, opening day for Trout! Here in Washington, the real Washington
I catch them or the Eagles and Osprey do, and they do not pay for a fishing license!
