I saw a lady at work get picked up by her boyfriend once in his Tesla Model S. Anytime I hear people talk about it being a big luxury vehicle now, I can only remember this guy's car. He had it repainted a rainbow-y black, giant black spinner rims, windows tinted past the illegal limit, and all labels on the car painted black. Also the brake lights were tinted 100% black as well.
Yeah, that's the most blatant "Don't look at the elephant in the room" press release I've seen. Unfortunately, this elephant is a bit too big not to notice.
To be fair.... Should they just go: "Welp, there's some bad news going on right now. Let's just toss anything positive in the trash."?
He must have evidence that he discussed the price ($420) with someone who agreed to buy the exiting stock at that price.
It seems like news on this is all over the place. A while back I remember there being "proof" of who the investors were (Saudis). Then that turned out to be untrue. Then originally I saw this story represented as Musk never intended on taking a deal. Then it changed to he was working on a deal, and said no. And now I've seen another article pop up saying something about him having proof of a deal ($420) with some Saudis that he backed out of.
Yep. We're about to let Prime expire, because the alleged two-day shipping isn't two-day if you live anywhere interesting
I never had a huge urgent need for 2 day shipping, but it did get annoying when "free 5-8 shipping" meant that amazon wasn't going to ship to me until day 7 or midnight day 8. I've even had to complain 2 times about them not shipping until day 10 (with no holidays around at the time)
I had prime for a while recently and canceled it about 2 months ago. Suddenly my last order, 5-8 day shipping, mailed that evening with 1 day delivery? Nice to suddenly get, but it made me triple check my order, thinking I'd accidentally picked 1 day shipping somehow.
This whole Shorts vs. the Longs is a delusional fantasy Musk cooked up to rally the fans and make him seem like an underdog
As far as Tesla goes, I've always found it funny to see the relations of those for or against the company. The pro-Tesla people are treated as fanatical maniacs who love and worship Musk, and have formed a crazed cult of insanity. Anyone not pro-Tesla is an evil short, wanting the company to die and people to lose their jobs so they can twirl their mustaches as they make money off of Tesla's failure.
If this really happened, I'm sure it'd be a pretty fun story to follow. Especially with online commentary from lovers and haters of Tesla.
It does make me suddenly wonder though. If Tesla completely went under.... I wonder how that would shape the future of some of the car companies that have to buy the EV credits from Tesla to keep selling cars in CA (and whatever states that adopted CA's laws).
This morning I googled this again to see if articles had any other comments. One of the top ones that showed up on my work PC was (I forget where from) simply titled: "SEC says 420 was a pot reference." Ummm....... ok? I think most everyone already thought/assumed/knew that. Not quite sure why it was the entire subject of an article.
We just had a Musk/SEC/Fraud thread, so I checked in here and was amazed to see about 7 posts and not one yet called Musk delusional. The haters are off their game I guess.
There are too many targets for people to make angry comments at nonstop right now I guess. More and more political spam ammunition gets loaded up everyday. I guess Musk someone got shoved aside.
2. Is Tesla planning on selling these batteries to other EV makers?
I would imagine they'd only start selling the batteries if they felt like they were going to completely lose the car market. I do very much want to see more battery developments like what Tesla has been doing so far. Seeing it used as backup power in other countries seems interesting and possibly promising.
I did find it odd that in one of the articles I read, it said that this was being done "due to damage caused to investors" by his tweet. Meanwhile this decision hurts anyone that wasn't a short.
Then again I can't find that now so I wonder if that was some freedom taken by a few journalists, and then removed.
The rest of this post describes ways that would aggravate them by doing something... But the first part is still accurate. I've literally sat outside reading and had a wasp come over and sting me. I also remember a time when I was little and climbing on monkey bars. I got on top and was sitting there waiting on a friend. A yellow jacket just flew up, went in a few circles, then flew straight at me to sting. Sometimes they are just jerks.
Even if a boy grows his hair long, below his shoulder, he gets told "You need to get a cut... you look like a girl."
I had long hair for a while. I often got "You look like Jesus, Curt Cobain,-" and a few others. That and any older people that saw me walking would look at me in fear as thought I was some terrifying criminal. I remember looking up stuff about long hair and interviews, and I found forums online for hiring managers and such. I would see them say stuff like: "If a guy comes in and his hair is below his ears, I automatically mark him as a failed interview and nothing he or his resume says will change that for me."
Some claim UPS workers provide better service than FedEx workers, due to UPS workers being unionized.
That's really just going to depend on where you are and who the driver is. For years I got much better seeming deliveries from FedEx while everyone else said UPS was way better (slash FedEx was just awful) for them. Meanwhile UPS for me literally threw a package up the stairs onto my porch and hit the door with it... damaging the door and causing the box to bust open.
What I'm questioning is more of, what if the driver just sits in a parking lot and declines rides for 1-2 hours. Are they saying he should get 2 hours pay for that? Or would the "clock stop" at him declining 1-2 in a row? I'm legitimately curious what the fix they want is and how exactly it would work.
I'd suspect that, but this was also a fairly new employee who had just started working recently in that same year. And just wanted to go back to being a bus driver.
Meanwhile I'm still disappointed that the WRX no longer has a wagon form. I was interested in the BRZ years ago, but now a small RWD coupe wouldn't be as useful. Not to mention I like having AWD and a bit more power. (which I recall the rumors originally said the BRZ was going to be AWD and turbo, while the Toyota version was to be the lightweight naturally aspirated one.
I always wondered if they were just rumors, or if Subaru decided that was too much effort.
I thought at first that some kind of coding error caused tons to be scrapped for no reason. Wondered why they would crush perfectly fine brand new cars without noticing something fishy.
- might earn much less than minimum wage if they drive at a slow time of day.
When I see demands for the drivers to at least make minimum wage, I've wondered... does this mean while they are driving? Or as long as they are signed in to the app? Would they still get paid by the hour if they refuse nearby ride requests? Or would the hour pay stop the instant they refuse/ignore a nearby request? I don't mean this to be in opposition to the cases or drivers, it's just something I've legitimately wondered every time it came up.
Randomly reminds me of when a friend of mine worked for Electrolux. He went to a new international center they were building over there to do some kind of engineering. He had a friend over there that quit the engineering job because "I'd rather be a bus driver, it's easier and I'd rather think less."
Not really related to your statement, just something I always found funny.

Haven't they already announced a delay due to user feedback 2-3 other times already?

Sometimes you aggravate them just by existing.

and then sell it to someone with far different plans for your baby?
"No ads, no games, no gimmicks"
Did he not know he was selling to Facebook???

I like the sound of "Moon Town." Not so much "Moon Village."

too damn big now as well. WRX or BRZ, or GTFO.

I expect we will see roasts about this on Twitter from @Wendys soon.
So they are protesting "e-soccer" by disrupting physical soccer games?
