It's official: Elon's a scumbag

[Biggus Dickus]

At least Ford provided accurate range estimates, and Hyundai underestimates range, But this is indefensible.

Not defending him at all. But ANYBODY that believes the ranges on any of these vehicles is naive at best.

But you were supposed to "Believe"! We were all going to die in the inferno, and you were supposed to do your part by buying the self-pretentious indulgence from the Church of Climate. So what if someone lies about what's in the kool-aid.

But you should Really be angry at Ford mgmt for not imitating the great Savior. Those Lightnings and Mach-E would just fly off the lots instead of costing Billions in losses. As a share-holder I'm incensed.

Elon is the new guy they all love to hate. Im no EV guy, but the fact is I'd take any Tesla 10x before a "Mach E" lol.. what a stupid name.

Almost as bad as Dark Horse

It probably meets it’s battery rating for the first 8 charges.

Umm...no. My wife wanted an Electric Car so I bought her one. She hates gas stations.

I'm a Ford shareholder and I think Farley needs to go - and they should be imitating Toyota - not Tesla.

Ford shouldn’t imitate any other manufacturer. I can see how if people only need a commuter vehicle an ev could be appealing.

Well maybe emulating Toyota isn’t the worst idea in the world. Solid state batteries will eliminate range anxiety. This will take EV’s far beyond the “commuter“ stage.

Barely a day goes by without the main stream media attacking Musk. They really hate him.

Which makes me love Musk oh so much. I mean I like that he's moving tech forward with rockets. I like that he successfully started up a car company competing with the Big 3. I like that he worked on alternate versions of AI to try to help people.

So many things I like. But when he's attacked by people I don't trust at all, that makes me love him.

 

[Inthehighdesert]

Believe it when I see it. I’m not generally a skeptic, but literally every technology thats been released as part of the green push has not delivered any where near the claims.

They don’t like any one that speaks there mind and goes against the narrative, especially one with a platform like his.

The man is obviously a genius and that makes him different, very different. If you have ever known one you understand what I mean. They just process information so differently than normal people. On top of that many of them are on the spectrum. That also adds to what many people see as "different".
That said my best friends son works for Space X as an engineer. He worked on the team that developed the grasshopper landing gear for the Falcon 9. He has met with Elon many times and his overall opinion of him is positive. The media does what the media does. Doesn't matter whether it is Elon, Steve, Bill, Jeff, Mark, or Larry. But the world would be a poorer place without them.

Having worked for what was once the worlds largest consumer electronics manufacturer based in Japan I have no doubt that Toyota can and will pull this off. They are also working with said manufacturer who is also one of the worlds largest battery makers so for me its not a matter of if but a matter when.
