The Air Up There
HUGE. Slight exaggeration, but it is something like the big 3 companies each make dozens of models, but lose money on all of them but a few trucks each. As the video pointed out, trucks do not have the same safety and emissions requirements that the smaller cars do so we are all getting screwed by assholes driving big trucks that do not haul anything in them.
Did having a "huge cock" ameliorate being without power?
There’s a fascinating article out there about how Tesla’s real business (from a profit standpoint) is selling…EV tax credits to the Big 3. The takeaway is that Tesla basically sells tax credits to other manufacturers, who do not make enough electric cars to qualify for the credits.DrPepper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:41 pmHUGE.

Correct. And it makes you wonder (sorry) about how much they really even care about safety and reliability, if the product itself isn’t what’s important financially.ousdahl wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 6:52 am so are Tesla's cars not that profitable?
Kinda crazy considering their entry level sedan starts at like $45 grand.
I also thought their bread and butter wasn't cars, so much as database management, as every Tesla mile driven is logged in their big database and stuff.
But maybe that's still not as profitable as tax credits.
Saw an R1S in the drop off line at kid's school.
