It is a real sjit show in the TMC investor thread right now...
My thoughts have always been that TSLA should have nothing in California but a headhunter for the young engineer talent.
Elon only chose Fremont because he didn't understand that there were alot better environments to place your...
Elon ain't perfect. But at the time Fremont was what looked right to him. Only because he didn't know the rest of the USA is so different(Better for businesses especially manufacturing). He went from Canada to California. He thought Cali was normal.
At the very least he should get his...
Oh, and my point was that someone wrote that the gas stations get most of their profit from the non-gas sales. Now think about it....Gas stations are part of a fixed price community concerning gasoline...So does anyone believe that the profits from the aspect of their business where they can fix...
Gasoline is a racket. There is no real market competition. Do any of you really think that gasoline prices aren't controlled by the major players?
I tried at one time to believe that the gasoline market wasn't rigged. But then you see the barrel price go up 20% and then the gas pump price goes...
Small groups of superchargers will be EVERYWHERE. it won't be just one being out of the way.
All retail centers can drop in 5 chargers. malls will have larger numbers. But I can see Fast food places having enough to take care of quite a bit of the need. Stand alone Super charger filling...
Here is how charging would work at hotels.
First, the chargers maybe would not be Superchargers This will stop local traffic from overwhelming them, IF that is really an issue. But the model could be set-up to have super chargers within the parking lot only accessible to hotel guests registered...
and those "remediated" gas stations on prime real estate are PRIME real estate. So do some math and get back to me.... How much more will they charge to "fill-up" because they are "prime" real estate? And then again, how much more will they charge because they need to make a living selling...
Gas station can be re-used. The OP thought that it would be a simple process of slapping down some UNNEEDED super chargers with little interruption. The truth is when the gas station applies for the permits the government will survey the site and require the pollution be remediated. And that...
You made me imagine another "Filling Station." Heck they might even trademark "Filling Station."
The old car hop joint with a twist. The carhop skates out to your car, plugs your car in, takes your order. comes back with your order, and while you are eating in the car they detach the car from...
I do get your viewpoint. But now you are being too narrow in scope. Please consider there are more ways to skin a cat than those two.
Any one of a number of financial arrangements could result in where any type of tesla chargers of any type are placed.
My point was and still is
Gas Stations will...
And just like the comment after this one. "Nope." (And yes as you did bring up further choices, and perhaps some yet not evolved in the market) BOTH will become prevalent. The choice will be one of the two. But expect one type of charger (Destination/free charger at business where the cost to...
I have the Krystal ball right here (Krystal's is a fast food hamburger chain for you yankees).
I can easily see All food joints having super chargers.
And then I gave it 20 seconds of thought and I came to ONE realization.
Gas stations are needed and different for one reason, GASOLINE. So...
Ahhh NO!
First, The gas stations that are going under in all likelihood have environmental clean-up issues that far outweigh the cost of the land.
Second. Very soon ANY PLACE Tesla wants to drop a charging station will donate the land...maybe "soon" isn't the right word... Yesterday maybe.
I
love ya man, but there ain't no god damn way I need to see anything that makes me cre in today's world.... unless it is tears of joy...Just two months ago I cried for like 2 minutes. It was a "sentinel event" in the friendship of a friend I've had since 1984. It just showed how deep our...
Nope. I invest in what I feel is a good thing, and that I am familiar with... As close as I get to starlink is I watch the rockets go up and come back from my backyard. Every so often I get woken up by the noise.
I just ain't too sure about it.
