Dear gg, I have worked with brilliant engineers and marveled at the genius of their work. I expect the last engineering of Elon Musk, not the last business management was the software programs that run paypal.
Paypal has a somewhat better than OK ergonomic interface. It was an idea that came at the right time. It was a good solution but not brilliant engineering. Paypay would have had a great interface if Elon Musk was or knew how to hire brilliant engineers. So Musk once was a good/lucky business guy and maybe engineer.

Tesla is a company that has lost money and is losing money and would selling far fewer cars except for tax welfare credits that support it. It's a high priced status token. It also has many sales based upon the fraudulent CAGW delusions of doom and gloom FF use.
It fits within a very small set of transportation solutions and it is never cost competitive.

It has half the range of equivalent several year equivalent cars that cost 1/10 to 1/4 as much. Even after all that tax credit welfare, the property tax on a tesla would 1200 to 1500 more than my current vehicles. My average car gas bill is 70 a month for two cars.

So babbling on about how gee we are going to run out of FF and therefore all should have a car that costs 5 to tens times as much and one is stupid if one does not see the goodness is abject stupidity.

As to my post pointing out obvious conclusion revealed by the facts is not railing and a welfare CEO is not a welfare case.

I suspect you had a free public school education. I take the time to inform those who speak and reveal how stupid they are that the are stupid. But stupid people just never seem to get it.
