> no one wants to drive a nazi car. That explains why VW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW are doing so poorly. You know, those companies actually founded by Hitler. First rule of advertising is claim your week points are your strong points, and the first rule of politicizing is blame everyone else for what you are guilty of.


This is why people buy Teslas. My experience on much larger road trips (Montana to TX or CA) is I would never, ever want to do one again in a petrol vehicle.


Exactly, and Kodak makes the best consumer film cameras in the world.


Toyotas aren't just for show either, like they are the top of their game 4x4s, they sell everything from utility vehicles for mining and military use, all the way up to luxury models.


I have a gas SUV and a diesel truck. They are pathetic compared to my Tesla Model Y in every regard except towing and hauling with the truck. This is especially true on road trips. I do not mind those 15+ stops as they are for 5-15 minutes each and I guarantee I have to use the bathroom at each stop. My last road trip from Montana to Texas I could have just as well slept in the back seat the whole way if not for the driver monitoring system. Steering wheels are as dumb as gas tanks. I hate all the time wasted at gas stations, in reality it's much worse than charging. Waking up each day with a full "tank" is amazing. I couldn't imagine using one of the fossil fuel vehicles on a road trip anymore. Want to buy a Subi Forrester or a Dodge Cummins 24 valve 4 door long bed?


I'm pretty confident that Grok CLI 4.6 could one shot this.


The parser cannot even recognize a where clause... Great idea, but make the parser work first.


Think of all the money you can make shorting the stock.


'Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.' – John Maynard Keynes


Tesla is a stupid (read: high downside risk with capped upside) short. There is an implied put below which it almost certainly makes sense for SpaceX to buy it. If they crash together, there is probably another level–well above 30x earnings–below which Musk could orgainse a take-private bid.


If it crashes, why would you want to buy it? If reality ever comes a knocking, I would not expect fantasy valuations to hit a second time. EV competition is only increasing and Tesla is no longer especially notable vs the competition.

I suppose Elon would for some financial manipulation games to prove he is the richest, but otherwise seems like a bad deal.


> If it crashes, why would you want to buy it?

For Musk, to stave off an embarassment. Same as the X acquisition into xAI and, most probably, the xAI merger with SpaceX. For his backers, to maintain access to the world's richest man.

Then there is the fact that Tesla operates America's only scaling EV-manufacturing operation.


If only we weren't witness to the largest irrational bull run of monied interests in our lifetime, we could gamble!


It's still a cult. A dangerous one, financially speaking. They can (and probably will) outlast everyone but Elon himself.


Neither Button Mapper nor Buttons Mapper work. You have to disassemble the remote and put a piece of paper or tape between the contacts.


> Has anyone even built a two-story DC?

Downtown Los Angeles: The One Wilshire building, which is the worlds most connected building. There are over twenty floors of data centers. I used Corporate Colo which was a block or two away. That building had at least 10 floors of Data Centers.


I think Downtown Seattle has a bunch too (including near Amazon campus). I just looked up one random one and they have about half the total reported building square footage of a 10-story building used for a datacenter: https://www.datacenters.com/equinix-se3-seattle


keep getting away with what? I've seen multiple photos and no one is in the drivers seat. They do have a person in the passenger seat. Unlike Waymo that had safety drivers for years I suspect they will remove the safety passenger after a few days.
