Why do you think musk dumping so much cash to boost Trump? The plan all along is to get kickbacks like stopping investigation, lawsuits, and regulations against him. Plus subsidies.

Rich assholes don't spend money without expectation of ROI

He knows Democrats will crack down on shady practices so Trump is his best bet.

Those idiots decided to throw away their money to a grifter, who are we to judge? Let them drive the company to the ground, plenty of EV producers actually making good cars.

120ish miles range is more than enough for majority of us drivers despite what people think. Yes long trip will require recharge (which will be quick with tiny battery) or a second car.

This is the near term EV future we should strive for vs expensive, heavy, and environmentally painful 300+ mi SUV and truck.

Alternative is PHEV+range extender like that byd truck

There's no option. Boeing is too big to fail. Nothing will change. Us tax dollars will make sure of that.

Delta T is the difference between concrete wall vs those crash rails and water tanks allowing you down slowly. It's not that bad to slow down from 0.1c if you do it over the course of a few centuries

Elon said investor are mistaken. It's not an ev company. Tesla is an AI company.

That was the idea of Google glasses but it was too early and tech wasn't ready. It was gonna give you just enough useful info and get out of the way.

Plus Google haters made "glass-holes" viral.

Ugh I feel dirty for reading the article but the argument is your first option: "limit bank profits and they'll stop doing business with poor people."

It's intentional. Big number makes big headlines plus paints union as greedy, . demanding enormous raises the rest of us only dream of (or maybe we should join a union?)

Must be nice hitting that 2010s backlog. I still got all many unplayed steam games. And don't even get started with all the free epic games.

For use with a Mr coffee drip machine, sure. When used with a $3k espresso machine, sensible.
