  1. society needs to tax those undue profits to hell, period !

  2. universal basic income is an implementation of a welfare system...

  3. Re:Chevy vs Tesla on Tesla Burns Through Record Cash To Bring the Model 3 To Market (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    no, the tesla takes into account the fact that you won't even need a steering wheel and pedals in 5 years, which is withing it's lifetime

  4. a 1500 mi journey, with the speed limits in place (say 60mph) takes 25 hours. accounting for filling the battery, you need 5 more hours or so.
    so, that means, at least 3 days, of 10 hours driving straight, with 1 hour pause for filling up (when you can have lunch), and filling up at night
    it does seem sensible...

    you only need the supercharger while transiting in a long trip. for daily use, you just have to plug in every night in your garage

    that's a budget issue. how about stopping the idiotic, unwinable war in afghanistan, and spend that money on electric car incentives (severa hundred billions a year)

  7. you're mistaken, you pass gas stations every 10 miles or so, in normal conditions, except in certain locations in Arizona.
    you have electric plugs just about anywhere. also, the included GPS shows you where the superchargers are located and guide you there

    well, they can if they allow you to build more of the stuff you're selling faster... allows more money to flow in
    it's a balancing act between buying production stuff or materials, and selling the product

  9. that's because they have to invest to grow their network of support locations, superchargers and the like. other gas powered car companies are using a network that's been build over the last 100 years or so...

    it shows "the financial sector" has it's priorities reversed if they seem to think "investing in production machines" is "burning cash"

    it's buying hardware and services to set up the production facility... big difference burning cash would be spending it on things that don't do anything for the company, such as distributing dividends and cash executive bonuses...

    your maths are flawed, you compare 2 cars that are definately NOT in the same segment.
    if you want to compare the tesla to an ICE, at least have the decency of doing so with way a BMW series 6 or 7, or something...
