Highly inefficient death traps with no active safety feature and no ability to play music or tell you where on the map you are. Great solution there buddy.

Seriously people need to watch Sandy Munro on YT. He literally went threw some calculations one the money you can save on removing a single fastner from the design. He was a former chief engineer at Ford and had his own company for decades

The amount of safety features you require alone would not allow this. To be compliant you need to move all your models to a number of safety features. In addition, you need to actually meet fuel standards, and that alone requires a whole lo

Its very easy to claim that everybody else is not following regulation and that the only reason you are losing is because you do. Its much harder to prove. If anything, GM had more problems and failures of their EVs so far. So the claim tha

I would suggest you watch the Munro Live videos where they disassemble and analyses cars. This company has been doing this for decades and recently started making some videos. The changes in Tesla vehicles are absurdly fast. They disassembl

Using 1 off cases based on unsubstantiated information in a lawsuit is not a persuasive argument for overall safety.

Have you considered that Tesla actually has a process and good engineers and good models to understand their changes? Maybe they are simply more dynamic, have better on the fly testing, more flexible software to manage their production, are

The saddest thing about those $46 billion is that this is by far enough money to develop new reactors that could reduce the waste by 99%. But instead, idiotic politics has locked that money into an equally idiotic project called Yucca Mount

The idea that all nuclear reactors for all time will be expensive to build and maintain is exactly what newer reactors are trying to overcome. Crazy how in the 60s reactors were build by small teams with low millions and today you need an a

There is a difference being potentially Concorde wealthy and actually choosing to spend money to fly in one. Also, some of use are not exactly Concorde young haha.

I not against Boom but this claim to me is not credible. Maybe they will do this for their testing of the airplane. The claim that all their planes will fly with such fuel is not currently credible.

Its still an insane dumb regulatory response to ban all super-sonic travel. Its totally unnecessary and restrictive and will block and hinder many of the technologies that could overcome the initial problem.

I love nuclear energy more then 99.9% o people and even I don't believe this will happen.

> But it jump started Airbus, a hugely successful aircraft manufacturer Yes but that was also very, very lucky. Claiming this is some inevitable legacy of Concord is nonsense. Airbus almost failed like so many other British-French-German

Pretty sure at one point that demonstrator was supposed to fly in 2019 if I remember correctly. The same kind of delay for the main plane would put it close to 2030.

Their sub-scale prototype was claimed to be ready in 2019 at one point. And as far as I know its still has not flown. So as for the 'can they make it', I am very skeptical. Even assuming they can make it, can they make enough of t

First of all, they just did a 'face lift' on the Model S. And its not the first one either. Other OEM might have new platforms, but those platform are built with supplier and OEM themselves often do not make the detailed choices.

Go look at how much of the raised money is simply cash reserve. There is a difference between raising money because you need to and wanting to raise to build up a cash reserves because you think the stock price is favorable.

by panick21 5y ago
Claiming that any one person or group invented the supply chain is one of the dumbest things imaginable.

What matters in terms of what we are discussing now is automotive margin. Their 'Automotive gross margin' is 28.4%. If you exclude regulatory credit that is still '25.8%'. Those are flat out great margin number in the au

SpaceX Starship will do this and be fully reusable. Starship can fly long distance with a reusable booster and somewhat shorter distances without a booster. Granted, its not really 'flying' but it does reach the speed needed.

This is optional and opt in, not sure what your problem is. Tesla will use it for their own insurance but if you don't have that or want FSD Beta you want have to activate this. > OTOH, I wonder if this is a precursor to Tesla launc
