I think you know the reasons, so instead of taking the trouble to tell you the obvious, I will let this person explain it: youtube.com The problem here is my own inability to appreciate businesses that can't innovate, while I tend to give credit to those who do. And Musk is the only in the car business doing any innovating. People sort of owe it to society to support innovation. When we support third-rate performance -- which pretty much all the automakers other than Tesla are delivering today, we get what we deserve: Third-rate thinkers turning out fourth rate cars.
You sit around waiting for someone else to do the innovating, then imitate the behavior. Look at Microsoft: Wealthy, but incapable of true innovation (one look at today's Excel or Word tells the story -- wide acceptable, both piles of shit, and people adapting because they have no consumer choice).
So, whatever. You're claim is FOS, but there is no counter-argument to be had. (BTW, it isn't just MSFT we're encouraging by buying their products. Look at Facebook!) |
