That is generally the way technology progresses, you build off of the work of others and don't have to start from scratch each time.

Rimac has created some impressive vehicles over the years. I remember him from the DIYelectriccar forums when he was just learning how to convert his BMW to EV, he went on to build a world class EV supercar, (years before the new Telsa Roadster has come out by the way).

" Tesla Motors, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSLA), a manufacturer of highway-capable fully electric vehicles and electric vehicle powertrain components, today announced its initial public offering of 13,300,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $17.00 per share. The shares will begin...

I didn't, he was a different person when I first invested back in 2011. I still don't think he's a "loser", as I've clearly and repeatedly stated I think he's lost focus, is off mission, and is mostly a drag on the brand in recent years.

You're as insane as Elon has become. The "cultural shift" in the country is that most people don't agree with Elon's radical shift and his pretend "free speech" narrative, which is most obviously not. As for me I've been supporting the company and defending Elon longer than most people on the...

Good managers don't turn off the customer base. Good managers don't threaten to start competing companies. Good managers don't ignore the company for so long that they have to suddenly fire entire departments, (and then try to hire some of them back). FSD is laughably years behind where it was...

Been following the company for almost 20 years now, invested in 2011, I know all of it very well. Elon has changed, lost focus, and is off mission.

I voted against hoping he'd throw a tantrum and leave so we could have a real company focused CEO who wasn't intent on destroying brand value.

Haven't voted my shares yet and not only have I had 2 email reminders I also got printed materials in the mail today urging me to vote Yes.

That's because they either don't understand that they were misled or don't care. You seem to fall into both of those categories. The claim of the board at the time was that these goals were a long shot when internally they believed the goals were likely to be met. Further they did not act as...

That's the issue at hand and the reason the deal was overturned by the court, the board misrepresented the actual risk.

On the other hand I'd buy more if we got a CEO who didn't randomly fire an entire team and then realized he screwed up and started hiring them back again... I know I know, I'm just a hater :poop:?

More 5D genius moves, hiring back the people he just fired from the Supercharger team. Great confidence booster for employees I'm sure: You could be fired for no good reason but you might also get hired back. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/elon-musk-realized-needs-supercharger-042308639.html

I could run an EV company. I volunteer to take over for Elon, he can keep the other companies.

It was a direct result of Elon's failure to control the narrative. He generates easily avoidable bad press and then has to scramble to fix the damage created. A simple pre-emptive press release like: "We are restructuring our Supercharging Teams to allow continued progress in a more efficient...

Now comes the belated damage control.

Some examples of the chaos caused by the mass firing of the supercharger team. Large numbers of planned charger sites in limbo and no one to contact about it left at Tesla, OEM's questioning the move to NACS and possibly shifting back to CCS because they can't trust Tesla. Seems like a...
