Electric-Car Startup Faraday Future Building a $1 Billion Factory In California (businessinsider.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Faraday Future, an electric car startup based in California, wants to take on Tesla. They're building a $1 billion factory in California. Business Insider reports: "The startup of about 400 employees has poached executive talent from Tesla and also draws its name from a luminary scientist — Michael Faraday — who helped harness for humanity the forces of nature. Even Faraday's public announcement that California, Georgia, Louisiana and Nevada are finalists for the factory mirrors the approach Tesla took to build a massive battery factory. Nevada won that bidding war among several states last year by offering up to $1.3 billion in tax breaks and other incentives. Faraday hopes to distinguish itself by branding the car less as transportation than a tool for the connected class."
If you need to ask, you're not "connected".
And they will also make a model to prevent people from being connected. "Why do I have 0 bars everywhere I go?" Welcome to the Faraday's Cage.
God spoke to me
Apple - they sell products at an emotional level.
Said the hollow, dead-inside, emotional-zombie who has never experienced the sheer, orgasmic joy of owning an Apple product, and knowing just by making the decision to do so, you're better than 90+% of humanity. Homo-Apple-Userum, the next step in human evolution, leaving the stupid, grub-eating primate self a little bit further in the past, and differentiating yourself from the miserable, unwashed-masses of humanity.
I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but... you know all those little Apple decals people put on their cars? That's so we can identify each-other at a distance, so we can light off quietly leaving all you unenlightened sots and go off into the woods and have wild, naked, Apple-love-fueled fantastic sex-orgies, that you "Windows" and "Android" losers will never be able to attend or understand. Even if you try to sneak into the pantheon that is Apple, you will never see these wonders until you accept Apple into your heart as your technological savior, and bow down before Steve Jobs, all praise his Holy Jobsness, Blessings and Peace be upon Him, and his Apostle, Tim Cook, Magnified is his Name, and are deemed worthy. The parties are amazing, the sex, unimaginably satisfying and mind-blowing, and the cake and wine we have after is fat-free.
You have to be at a certain level of emotional maturity, if not at least readiness, to truly feel, on a gut level, the awesomeness of Apple's products. If you weren't such a miserable luser, you'd get it. You have my pity, sir.
Farewell.
