Wow, he got to speak to musk!
I love how Elon wants to solve issues by the āless is moreā thought process.
Butā¦ as he said himself he is the first car manufacturer to come to production in a hundred years.
So he can look at everything in lean way, not encumbered by the legacy of an existing production structure.
Somehow he has got past the horrific expense of getting to production. The downside is he is having to pay that back and that is exactly what is stopping him fix all the issues he wants to solve. He admitted that early adopters are paying for the benefit of others getting a better car.
The other eye opener is the short selling, which should make anyone hearing horror stories wonder just how much they are rooted in vested interest.
āOr wotnotā
Where did he get that bollox from?
Itās a qualified statement.
As in the first to set up from nothing and sell cars at volume. There is a context to the comment.
You mean like Nissan, Toyota et al?
Nissan was 1933 and Toyota 1937.
Not far off!
(I wish I could go back and find the comment to get it more accurately, but at 45 mins I canāt be bothered)
Thatās why I quoted them.
Within the last hundred yearsā¦
I could have added Kia, SSangyong or plenty of others.

I canāt listen to Elon Musk for long. Heās a terrible public speaker and a poor interviewee for someone with such an enormous media profile.

Just your typical geek sort of turned businessmanāish.
Zuckerberg anybody ?
Yes, surprisingly bad!
I know he had quite a lonely/difficult childhood so Iām not dunking on him.
Car collection day 5th March!
Come on Rishi, 50% off all EVs rite m8?
Coming from the Peopleās Republic of Chinastan too. The very first batch of RHD, I believe. I wonder if they hang the doors on better?

First batch? Oh yeah no worries, Tesla always do amazingly well with their first batchesā¦
To clarify, first batch of UK-bound Long Range Model 3s. Previously theyād all come from Fremont.
The Internet says the Chinese built cars are better but, er yeah, the Internet.

The car will be fine.
It will just be pre loaded with spyware and the cameras will film everything.
And you may not be able to access google.
I was only being mean.
Humorously Musk talked about how shockingly bad the first batches of all his cars were in that interview above. But yes, the first model s not the first s made in a different country etc.
My charger arrivedā¦ 100% not raspberry pi based, you can tell because they crossed it out with a marker pen.

Saw the Polestar 2 on the road for the first time today. Really good looking car, but in hindsight glad I didnāt order one as itās having some quite big software issues and the efficiency is horrible.
i can t be arsed reading tons of shite, there is a possibility of a new car with the new job ( still waiting for confirmation). Two things, it has to have decent range and not be a main car ie (estate or large we have one of those already ) likewise little run arounds are not going to be allowed.
what should i be thinking about? ID3 seems the most logical ??..
