Child’s play compared to hijacks.., Guilty as charged your honor. :)

Thanks, yes, many moons ago now. It was a P-Baron, a cream puff I stumbled upon just by luck (they didn’t make many). That picture was taken at Truckee Airport, hence the desire for turbo and pressure. A younger wife (younger back then, never had a “younger” wife ;)) and our rescue one eyed...

Pretty sure. ;)

Congratulations on you new truck. With your work schedule, you might want to consider a battery tender. I have noticed when I drive my truck infrequently (I also don’t get a ton of freeway miles when I do drive it, which is a major factor in this decision), the battery management software...

Anyone who doubts Rick’s associates viewpoint only need to travel to Germany and ask around how their cart before the horse Green movement worked out. :) Who needs a plan, when you have right on your side? It must drive Angela crazy to realize her legacy is totally out of her control. :)

I suspect the good professor isn’t the only one to understand this reality. JB Straubel was one of the early guys at Tesla. He left Tesla to found Redwood Materials which initially was focused on the development of processes to cost effectively recycle Li-ion battery packs. I followed his...

I believe it. We had a similar situation geographically. We were on the cliffs near the ocean and on big days, with onshore breezes, lots of salt in the air. We were remodeling our house the same time as our next door neighbor. We both had some wrought iron style railings and gates being...

For a very long time I lived close enough to the Pacific Ocean I could throw a rock and hit water. Anything ferrous outside that was untreated/coated, would slowly disintegrate. Even stuff inside the garage that for whatever reason was just the right ferrous metal, would rust. I always kept...

At the risk of getting into second derivative speculation on what we were all saying, I think the root of my confusion was ironically my post about my FIL’s findings, I was clearly less than clear. :) His analysis went beyond the relative CO2 produced during production. His was a total life...

It keeps coming up -x and then I land in the deletions thread, what am I doing wrong? :)

I apologize for this post not being a joke, I just have to say, this started me laughing first thing this morning and am pretty sure I will be giggling all day. Thanks for that one.

I am a little unclear what you were saying? But it is late, so probably me.

… never mind, just decided I am not getting into any more incredibly complex issue debates on the forum, which usually end up in Google search result paste and clip wars. Plus, pretty much everyone has their mind made up anyway. :)

Just in case somebody who is speed reading this thread and comes to the incorrect conclusion that my position is Tesla is going out of business or Elon Musk will be broke in the near future, let me perfectly clear. What I have been talking about are risks to Tesla the company (and thereby...

From your first two posts, I didn’t expect you to get it, so I will just say that if you have a strong conviction in Tesla and you are long and strong Tesla stock, I wish you good luck, you may need it. If this was late May 2007 and we were debating Sub Prime Mortgages, MBS, and I was saying be...

That is actually at the heart of Tesla’s and Elon Musk’s problems. Musk always seemed to conflate their $12K Full Self Driving option with fully autonomous. They even ran ad’s promising future FSD capabilities with seemingly fully autonomous function. To make matters worse, their...

Edit: self deletion, line crossing post. :(

Yes, Jim just said, “hey Nancy, just send those checks right over here and also, thanks for sending all those new customers our way!” Just when I think things can’t get more Bizarro, I turn on the TV, yep, I was wrong again!

By George I think he’s got it!

Sounds like Jim is into the “Push It till it breaks” price elasticity model.
