You sir, set a good example for all!

It's attitudes like these that help create the problems. Look, I know you hate Elon and Tesla, but wanting to go out of your way to inconvenience other EV drivers? That's just sad. I'm glad most people don't have that much hate.

Actually, you did make that claim (above). I'm assuming "this move" refers to the mass firings.

I just looked it up and learned the Rivian doesn't have lockers. I just assumed it did because so many claim it is purpose built to be an off-roader. But, no, I was speaking of my experience with my Cybertruck which I have driven about 500 miles off paved roads so far. Even without lockers, I...

Now you are changing your argument. Before you claimed Elon said the uptime would improve because of the layoffs. In fact, he indicated their goal was improve uptime despite the layoffs. If you want to argue the second, I suggest you save your breath and wait to see how uptime is impacted (if...

OK, then compare them after each company hit 5000 sales per quarter. You ask a good question, sometimes I feel like I'm banging my head into a brick wall trying to knock some sense into the most cult-like Rivian fans. And I'm not talking about people who just love the product, I'm talking...

Nothing should be free. Rivian owners can pay the same price as Tesla owners if they buy a monthly subscription. I think it's only $15/month, or some such low price. Tesla owners paid for the network to be built when they bought a Tesla. Because Tesla self-funded the buildout of the Supercharger...

You make some good points but I want to clarify I don't think Elon is infallible. No one is, especially not those who think they know more than Elon. Because actual results matter. I do believe in judging a leader by their accomplishments. Full stop. And since Elon has access to inside...

Tesla already fixed that two or three software updates ago (as if it was a real problem to begin with). The Cybertuck's hood will stop so easily it couldn't hurt a baby's pinky (as if a baby could even reach that high). I think it was the same software update that activated the mechanically...

You've never found an Electrify America site that had no working chargers? I have NEVER charged at EA because the first two times I tried I couldn't get them to work and I drove out of my way to a Supercharger. That was around six years ago, and I never tried again. I don't have time for that...

It seems the real troll here is the one claiming Elon said the layoffs would increase uptime. He never said that. He said they had a new focus of increasing uptime while putting less focus on expanding greenfield sites.

Yup. I don't understand those who have such hate for a truck. When the Hummer H2 gas SUV came out, I thought it was a ridiculous vehicle, but I let the owners live their fantasy in peace. The thing about the positive Cybertruck comments I get, is they are unprovoked, meaning the people making...

I could never buy an ICE truck for a vehicle I was going to use off-road simply because an electric powertrain is so superior when the going gets tricky. The other day I engaged the front and rear lockers and crawled right up some steep loose and rutted terrain like it was nothing! The throttle...

It's a fact that talented employees are in demand at Tesla's competitors. If they didn't want to work for Elon, they wouldn't be working for Elon. The ones who are saying bad things are the ones who Elon fired. That's expected.

I didn't deny that Elon said uptime would improve after the layoffs, I said Elon didn't claim the layoffs would cause uptime to improve. He said they were putting increasing emphasis on increasing uptime, and less emphasis on greenfield expansions. This is an easy-to-understand distinction.

Keep attacking the messenger, it shows you can't debate on the merits.

That comment takes me right back to 2019, right before Tesla exploded (in a good way). Because that was the leading story about Tesla in 2018-2019.

Wow! If you had ever driven both an Aztec and a Cybertruck, you would not be making such senseless statements. That's what happens when you judge a book by its cover. The Cybertruck has amazing driving dynamics, particularly on rugged roads where the serenity in the cabin is unmatched. Most...

No, I'm saying the layoffs, and the new focus on increasing uptime, are two separate things. Obviously, cutting staff is not going to automatically improve uptime. But the two things are not mutually exclusive. It's just a matter of priorities. I'm sad the expansion of the network into new...

Obviously, if you are the "fat" being cut out of the organization, you might not see it as a smart move, LOL!
