I think John has made several major errors. #1, I see no evidence that he understands what an 'S' curve is and what that means in terms of BEV sales growth potential. The fact that current sales are 2% is irrelevant if we are in a S curve environment. #2, The exact arguments he makes about...

Not in TX. We have driven 6 to 7 hours for a 3 to 4 hour family visit. I don't think we are alone.

I just want to add that those "foreign wars for oil" cost both blood and treasure. My daughter is a teacher and she sees first hand kids who have lost parents in those wars and kids who have parents that have physically and mental injuries too, sometimes both. There are many horror stories...

and And there's the contradiction, unions and fast moving technology firms that have an increasing use of robots to replace people have an in built conflict. The result of which will be slower innovation, higher product prices and lower profits (with lower stock price growth).

Not really relevant but my neighbors son is a PhD rocket engineer. He chose to work for NASA rather than SpaceX for job security. He was offered a job by both. I think he made a mistake. Those SpaceX guys are amazing! Musk is a genius....

Can we just be honest about the management of NKLA. They put out a misleading video & lied to investors. They are pond life and deserve bankruptcy.

Diess's is a very clever man and really gets 'it'. If they don't keep him, they deserve the dustbin of history.

Taxis I have used have either been a Prius or small / mid size SUV. And I don't think Lucid are going for the taxi market. If I was a taxi driver and I was going electric, it would be a hatchback and not a sedan. There are zero luxury sedans in my neighborhood that I know of. All the new...

My money is on IG Metall. It's not a matter of Musk vs the Union, it's a matter of Musk versus German culture that dates back over a century. Good luck to Musk and I hope to be wrong.

Meh...very skeptical. Living in TX, I don't see a big enough market (here or in the EU) for sedans. The wrong vehicle at the wrong time. And yes, I feel the same about the M3 - but so far I'm wrong on that.

My 2 cents, he is yesterdays news. The only car videos I want to watch are on youtube, not these mainstream dinosaurs from the 1990s.

We don't know how the Brexit negotiations will turn out. The worst case is the UK may have a 10% tax on exports to the EU on WTO rules - that may well be negotiated lower. Shipping is not an issue, the Eurotunnel has the capacity to export millions of cars all over the EU mainland. Even with...

Yes. My local Homedepot rents out trucks and vans. I have used this service, it was very easy and cheap. I suspect Homedepot or perhaps a 3rd party will be moving into this space.

As others have said, now Rivian has a huge order from Amazon and possibly others I wonder if they are as committed to the R1T as they should be.

That's where my money is. Tesla should build a factory in the UK.
