How bad are things at Tesla? So bad that it would have lost money in the first three months of the year had it not been the sale of regulatory credits, credits that could be going away if the Trump administration gets its way on auto emissions rules.

    Lol, read the title of the article, saw that it is in “Uplifting News”, was confused for half a second but yep, I’m ok with this.

      I too had a sensible chuckle. I do feel for the employees who just want to produce cars and innovate. Sure sucks being drowned by your own mother.

      Didn’t even realize until you pointed it out. I did feel a bit happy while reading, so that checks out.

      Then, I thought about the way America is sinking, and the power vacuum being left behind. Gotta say, I wasn’t quite so uplifted any more now that I remembered that China will be taking that role on the world stage. Maybe 100 years from now people will be watching Chinese movies and using Chinese loan words.

      I’m using this now but it does disturb me that it is playing below the bridge.

          Could anyone do the math? The frequency on that thing would be - high, very high.
          edit: dog whistle high?

            Not sure if this is right: high e is 660hz and about 300mm long. That string looks to be about 10um long.
            (300/0.01)660=19.8Mhz

    Suddenly I realize what all the data he gathered is for. It’s a dead man switch. He dies or gets thrown under the bus, he releases all the data the government knows about all the wealthy dodging their responsibilities and shitting on the middle class.

      Why though. It seems nobody cares. It could be released and people would go who cares.

      I don’t know, for the purposes of everything that got him to power and is keeping him in power those people don’t seem to care if everyone knows their business.

      Nobody’s saying the quiet part quietly anymore.

    It is fun to see that the little plus they made came from regulatory credits, i.e. emission trade. Which is likely to be chopped under Trump for being woke in the highest.

    Good. Let them burn. The moment that loser heil Hitlered he should have been removed the next day. You are now complicit and have chosen your side.

    And still their market capitalisation is probably higher than the biggest ten automotive manufacturers combined.

      Nah, I can’t say that about Star Link despite who the awful owner is. People rely too heavily on Star Link now and there’s no competition. If you need a car you can buy a different EV, but they can’t do the same for an Internet connection. However, this would be a great time for some other billionaire who sucks a little less to start a competitor.

      It’s not happening at starlink. There is no competition and people who have it are not going back to the shit they had before.
