Funny that CNN poses this as a secret as it’s always been in Tesla’s quarterly filings and not a secret at all. When companies have to pay to not have electric cars, it spurs innovation in companies to develop electric cars.
- zpeti 6y agoLiterally every "tesla short" or anti tesla website/media property has been going on about this for years in every article. Thanks CNN for the clickbait title.

- prepend 6y agoI recently watched the great BBC adaptation of Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy [0] and was reminded of the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B/A/C [1]. I feel like we are all now on Ark B and we are witnessing articles and tweets and whatnot from people who are oblivious to the reason why we were shot into space first.

Especially funny as they never show the question that results in the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

- kcartlidge 6y agoYou may already be aware, but just in case ... The BBC adaptation you watched was the third format - before that there were the books, and before that was the radio show, where Douglas Adams wrote the script often on the same day as the voice actors were due to record it. The radio show precedes the books and, personally, I feel is better. If you want a written version, books of the scripts are available, and well worth getting if you're a fan. Not just for the scripts themselves, but also for the extra info before each episode which provides backstory.
- sliken 6y agoWell, wouldn't it be irresponsible to do otherwise? Tesla's stated mission it to accelerate the adoption of electric cars. So basically every $ they get should be put into R&D making the cars better and increasing the volume of cars they can produce. So basically they should keep the profits around zero and pour all profits into R&D or expansion.
