No worries, but a strange thing for him to post then to rebut my assertion that Tesla’s haven’t been the best EV’s for sometime.
As a Model Y owner for a few years now, I’m very satisfied with the car, so I can’t speak to the quality and appeal of others.
Today he called Mark Kelly a traitor for visiting Ukraine, claimed without evidence that Ukraine was leading the DOS attack on Twitter, lied about DOGE’s cost savings and claimed he’d stay on as a SGE for another year (even though the SGE charter does not allow for that) — all in one brief interview.
. . . or even a buyer at this rate :)
TBH, if I could get a decent trade-in, I might do it, but we generally keep cars for at least a decade! I traded a 2008 for the 2023 Tesla and our other car is a 150,000 mile 2013 Chevy Volt! Will be replacing the Volt in the not too distant future. Would like a Plug-in Hybrid (RAV4 Prime?) or another EV, but may well settle for a “regular” hybrid because of the very large choice available.
A) No San Franciscan would stay on Nob Hill. Last time I went up there I took a Waymo!
I'm not sure about that. As far as I can tell, the Tesla stock price has had very little to do with the actual number of cars he's sold and far more to do with this vague idea that it will become a dominant player some day.
I have an account, because I got suspended (even though I'd never posted) and in order to delete the account you first have to appeal the suspension. And why would I waste my time?
It's not just about that, but another reason he's so keen to get involved in government is the self-driving cars. We're seeing it everywhere they appear in the US already, not just from Musk. They're not as good as the salesmen promised (who would've thought) and so they're in the process of attempting to change laws to basically suit the self-driving cars. Things like putting up railings to reduce the places pedestrians can cross, making it a crime to block ones path, and changing zoning regulations to allow these huge parking and charging facilities for them in key areas of the city, all for a method of transport that is way less efficient at moving people than trains or buses. But if you can get the politician's ear, then you can make sure these real public transport solutions never happen as he already tried to do by floating the hyperloop idea when a high speed train was proposed. It no doubt won't be long before they try to have self-driving only lanes installed.
The Rivian R2, coming next year and the R3 the year after are gonna take a decent chunk out of Tesla in the US. I know someone who works there and a good number of the preorders are current Tesla owners/ early adopters.
God, that’s good.
To a sociopath like Musk; absolutely.
'In the Ukraine area of Russia' is presumably what he means.
I expect what he actually means is that he completely made it up.
You need to stop giving him the botoxygen of publicity
I stayed where they put me (InterContinental Mark Hopkins), and with the Marriott employees on strike, we would not cross the picket line at our usual hotel. However, I did Uber up the hill the second time!
I can only imagine being in a car sliding down one of those hills, forwards or backwards!
