Tesla stock downgraded; Musk's behavior to blame

[ElCastor]

Had a ride in a Tesla... hmmm

Haven‘t had a ride in one, but I do see a lot around here. Tesla is having some real problems with its very costly Full Self Driving feature. Out here in California they have run afoul of the gov. They charge a hefty price for the “feature” only it does not do what the name implies. KIA makes a nice electric, 0->60 in 4.6 seconds, but for the price I’ll stick with gas for now.

In my opinion you can do a decent hedge by getting a plug-in hybrid. The one that makes the most sense to me that I'm aware of is the Toyota RAV4 Prime.

You've kinda got a foot down in both worlds.

You saw the smiley, right?

But to directly answer your question I think that he's a very public type A male, and while I'd never do what he's doing in expressing himself, I think it's his prerogative to do just as he's doing. I don't see it as personally offensive (it's actually kinda funny, very often) but I can see where other reasonable people might be offended, at least in matters of personal style--and the nominally progressive folk out there, I could see where they'd go apoplectic. He is as un-PC as possible.

So my smiley statement would apply to why *they'd* not like him.

Oh. I see. I think being "un-PC" is a good thing! "They" would not like me either!

DefinItely worth considering. When I bought our current Kona I had just replaced the battery pack in our 100K Prius. Based on 2018 gas prices and a premium paid for another hybrid I didn’t see a significant advantage in a hybrid. Now, times have changed thanks to …

You know, in truth, you're either un-PC or you're constantly lying, to one degree or another.

Hmmmm…. Musk lays off 3000 Twitter employees and the press and others are howling with rage. Google lays off 12000 employees and it’s just business during these times. I am seeing a double standard.
