That's only your personal opinion that this change wasn't necessary or beneficial. And your opinion is informed from the outside looking in. I will take the opinion of someone with a long track record of successes who is on the inside looking out. Because they have a lot more information with...

I simply pointed out that the hypothetical you used doesn't make sense, that it wasn't supported by the facts, and was simply an effort at attacking someone who had a different view than yourself.

Wrong. He did not attribute the reduction in employees with increasing uptime, he said they were making changes and had a new focus. It's the focus on increasing uptime that he believes will increase uptime, not the reduced headcount. They will be expanding less into new territory and focusing...

Attacking the messenger, rather than their message, is a sign that you are wrong.

Apparently, you don't know how "uptime" is measured. Tesla puts extra stalls at each location because they know that physical things break. "Uptime" is the measure of the site as a whole. Meaning, if you go there, can you charge? Any other way to measure it is not as relevant. Yes, individual...

Why make up hypotheticals that are not even based in reality? Your views consistently don't pass the rationality test. The truth is, most Tesla employees respect Elon, or they would not be working for him. What is it that you don't understand about talented people having their pick of places to...

Elon never claimed this move would improve uptime, he said, in light of the cuts, they would be focusing more on reliability and expanding existing locations to meet demand, rather than building out new locations. Criticism of this move will turn out as short-sighted as those who claimed...

Now you are getting closer to the truth. There will probably be a separate charging network for robo-taxis. That will cost money to build too. At least they won't be clogging up the urban fast DC charging locations as Uber and Lyft drivers are doing now. I hope the latest move by Elon shocks...

Tesla donated the NACS standard to the public domain. He allowed anyone to compete directly with the Supercharger Network without having to pay any royalties to Tesla. It's a free gift to the EV movement.

Not joking. He's far more rational than the average person, which is why the average person can't understand what he's doing. Elon has long believed the best part was no part. He tells his people to ruthlessly cut things out, simplify to the extreme, make the job easier while making the product...

I think it's clear that Elon WANTS other companies to step up to the plate and contribute to fast charging infrastructure! The fears of those short-sighted people who thought Tesla wanted to dominate their charging needs have just collapsed. Elon doesn't care about charging revenue, he wants...

It seems like you are letting irrational fears that you won't get your adapter in time, or that the Supercharger Network will be suddenly overloaded, or out-of-order, control your behavior to your own detriment. The Supercharger Network is not going anywhere, it's just people trying to create...

That's just another way of saying they are not wasting the hard-earned dollars of their new vehicle buyers! When I was eight years old, I had a revelation: That was fundamentally silly for companies to pay many hundreds of thousands of dollars to run ads telling consumers which products the...

I found the measurements to compare bed heights in the lowest modes: R1T lowest bed height: 34.5" Cybertruck 32" It looks like the Cybertruck not only has more ground clearance in the highest mode (16 plus inches in extract mode) but also a lower bed loading height for heavy items like...

This just shows how the mainstream media has purposefully kept consumers in the dark about EVs you can actually buy. They are shielding their best advertisers, who happen to be legacy auto companies, oil and gas, dealerships, auto parts, etc. from being disrupted. The media is looking out for...

That's one good reason why short cables and standardized charge port locations are golden. Short cables cost less to replace and provide lower incentive for theft in the first place. Anyone who charges at fast DC charge locations pays for the cost of a technician to replace the cables.

It sounds like the new woke normal, "I feel like my thumbs are being asked to perform an inordinate amount of the operational load and are not being given enough time to de-stress." :blush:

Can the Rivian not go into an entry level mode? For loading heavy items? Or no one publishes how low that makes the bed?

I tend to agree, however the fact that you said the same thing about the Cybertruck reduces my confidence level slightly.

Tesla may have created the NACS standard, but they have clearly donated it to the public. No one is going to be beholden to Musk or Tesla, nor could they be, because Tesla made the NACS standard public domain. If you don't like Superchargers, don't use them! If you like NACS, but not Tesla...
