    Check the numbers. Transport CO2 in America, Tesla biggest market, has increased the last few years,and will increase again this year.

    The point is you always just make up any numbers you want to try to justify your opinions about everything.
    You just make shit up, and throw in some made up numbers and pretend they are legitimate.
    In other words you are very deceitful, and get very pretty and vindictive when people point out your deceit.
    Or even blunter, stop lying all the time.

    That's exactly my point. Tesla is a rounding error, but fanbois like Windy think they are single handedly changing the world.

  5. But are they outselling gas guzzling trucks and SUV's?

    Why bother mentioning America in there?

    It was about nations being too high and that we all have to work on bringing it down.

    So it's about nations being too high. And yet you focus on the nations like China and EU that are at half the levels of America.
    Then you claim you left them out on purpose because 'everyone knows they are high'.
    What a joker you are.

    America has been going in the right direction

    And then your classic hand wave free pass to America. Just as you always do.
    Yet 30 years of 'decreases' and you are still twice as high as everyone you are complaining about.

  7. This time is different is a bit of a cliche. But it could be. None of those other times did the disruption disrupt everything at the same time. And the new jobs tend to require more skill/training each time. Eventually there will come a point where enough people just can't do the training, can't learn the new skills required. Not everyone is cut out to be highly skilled. Then there is just the time required to learn a new skill. You study to become a doctor, how far have robot doctors advanced in those 4 years? Now what do you learn? Rinse repeat. Think of credential inflation now, imagine you need a phd in customer service before you can even ask people if they want fries with that.
    It's still far off, maybe extremely far off and it's no problem. But eventually, what happens if someone makes a humanoid robot as dexterous and an AI as capable as an average person. What is left for people to do? Why would it even stop there, robots could be faster stronger bigger smaller, anything at all really. If we keep the current system, whoever makes the robots will own everything and everyone else will have nothing.
    That's also a pretty big incentive for people to make the robots/AI.

    You anti-China bias is legendary. You basically just admitted America is far worse, but there was no mention of it in your post until I 'reminded' you. You specifically singled out China when it's about the same as European levels.
    You know for a fact that American levels are higher but you never seem to complain about that. Even now you hand wave a bit and claim it's OK because it's 'getting better'.

    I don't hate America. I dislike entitled assholes. There is a bit of an overlap between the two ;)

  9. What makes you so sure you can train people faster than an AI robot can train itself to do the same job you just invented?
    It's not realistic now, but eventually it could be. That is the problem, eventually people just won't be useful enough to employ.

    Ok, here we have a far left that does not get it. India is likely at the level we all need to be at. China is already way over. Heck, most of Europe is still above where the globe needs to be.

    Why do you try so hard to avoid the elephant in the room?

    Graph of CO2 polluters
    India is at the level you think we need to be at... ok....seems a bit extreme to most people but lets go with it.
    China is 'way over'..... ok if you say so....seems to be about the average...
    Most of Europe is above, ok it's similar to China so no real reason to single China out other than your hatred of them.

    And America?
    Did you forget to mention that America is 2-4 times as bad as the countries you are complaining about?
    Twice the level of the 'way over' China even.
    Close to ten times Indian levels, that you claim is your target.
    Why are you not taking America to task?

    It's clear you are just anti-China and try to hide as much as possible, the fact your entitled country is a far worse CO2 polluter.

    Of course in hotels they do it like that. Otherwise all the Americans who stay keep pestering concierge to have them explain how the ac works.
    Plus you can just imagine all the lawsuits from angry Americans who pressed the button in the night too many times without thinking. Next time just pay the extra for a European room, you will appreciate the difference.

    It was the biggest daily loss in stock market history
    You could maybe argue it's only due to inflation. Intel's daily loss of $90 Billion in 2000 would be bigger in inflation adjusted terms for example.
    But to argue it's only a "minor retracement" is just pants on head retarded.

  20. None of those are requirements for an affordable EV. The requirement for an affordable EV is that it is affordable and an EV.
    The fact you had to add in all those things, just proves you were wrong. Even moving the goalposts as far as you did, it still doesn't make a Tesla affordable.

    Since you asked, he constantly calls me a liar. Yet never seems able to show a single time that I did.
    He mostly does that because I've pointed out quite a few of his lies, and that is the only way he can respond.

    Unhealthily was probably the word you were looking for. It's perfectly healthy to defend oneself against baseless accusations of lying. If only to stop idiots like you from jumping to the wrong conclusion.
    Why did you comment again AC ? Are you unhealthily obsessed with me or with Windy?

    He admitted it you idiot. It's not like there aren't records of who owns stocks or not.

    How about organisms becoming stuck evolutionary at a local maximum that other organisms didn't.

  25. Or you could have read the first article if you didn't trust the summary.

    One of Tesla’s biggest anonymous trolls/shorts has been doxxed as an investment manager heavily invested in the oil industry.

    To his credit, he disclosed that he was holding a short position on Tesla and therefore, he benefits from the company’s stock price going down.

    If you don't/didn't know enough to know what a short position was. Should you really be giving legal advice about stock manipulation?
