I'm so glad I took the transfer to engineering when my company offered it to me. Even though greater Boston traffic can drive me absolutely bonkers sometimes, I'm glad to be driving around fixing stuff compared to when I worked in an office.
I'm so glad I took the transfer to engineering when my company offered it to me. Even though greater Boston traffic can drive me absolutely bonkers sometimes, I'm glad to be driving around fixing stuff compared to when I worked in an office.I had a job in the late 00's to early 2010's that had an open office type plan. We had our own desks spaced throughout the room, but there were no walls between us. This resulted in us having room wide political arguments almost daily. They eventually installed walls on each desk because we were talking across the room so much.
Where I'm at now we have cubicles, but the walls are only about 4 feet high. There's no collaboration, but literally everybody within 30 feet of me is on calls almost all day. My whole day if I'm in the office is hearing at least 3 different people talking on calls. Yeah, that's a much better work environment than my quiet office in my home where the only thing that bugs me all day is my dog when she wants pets or to go outside.
just for reference, there were ~300,000 Class 8 (heavy duty) trucks sold in North America in 2023.It's the middle of 2024 and Pepsi has so far gotten less than 40 Tesla Semi's they ordered, but of course, yet more Elon bullshit. The guy is a pathological liar.

Tesla is looking more and more like a massive pump and dump fraud. What sucks is all of us that knew it was a shell game but have SP500 index funds were forced to invest into it when it was added to the index.It's the middle of 2024 and Pepsi has so far gotten less than 40 Tesla Semi's they ordered, but of course, yet more Elon bullshit.

I wonder what percentage of those are local only and/or within company perimeter only (can't remember the proper name). Which right now appears to be the niche of the Tesla Semi, I'm guessing at the cost of a high end over the road truck.just for reference, there were ~300,000 Class 8 (heavy duty) trucks sold in North America in 2023.
Class 8 demand in North America to mostly hold in 2024, Paccar forecasts
Retail orders could hit up to 300,000, which is on the upper end of the OEM’s forecast.www.truckingdive.com
Tesla hitting 50k units would be 16% of the entire sales market. of course that doesn't mean all 50k are sold, but when i'm getting at is that that is tremendous production capacity in the truck world.
so yeah, Elon is way off target. I don't doubt Tesla can eventually get there, but they clearly have a very, very long way to go.
Cheering for Threads over X is like cheering for Himmler over Hitler.also Taylor Swift did a cross-promo that involved I think Insta and Threads to coincide with her new album launch. She is now on threads and already has 9 million followers and just ramping up. Just need more and more big X accounts of sane and good people to keep moving to Threads to help further bury Twitter faster.
Guaranteed there are literally tons of people on X to follow certain celebrity accounts and only reason they are there.
Of course Zuck is shitty too, but that's still a bit of an off comparison. Elon is a solid chunk worse; I mean he is pure evil. Zuck is a shitty human too, but he is still better than Elon, for now. As in, he is not quite Nazi level. So I wouldn't go that far, but I'm not singing his praises either. But bankrupting Twitter would be a good thing and if that takes Threads right now, so be it.Cheering for Threads over X is like cheering for Himmler over Hitler.
*sigh*God knows how many times this happened and Elon should be held directly responsible with all his false advertising and marketing and pumping dump bullshit with FSD.
Tesla Driver Charged With Killing Motorcyclist After Turning on Autopilot and Browsing His Phone
Your Tesla is not a "self driving car" no matter how hard you want to believe it.gizmodo.com
I wouldn't exactly call a company that had ~8.88 billion in operating income and 96 billion in revenue in the last year a pump and dump.Tesla is looking more and more like a massive pump and dump fraud. What sucks is all of us that knew it was a shell game but have SP500 index funds were forced to invest into it when it was added to the index.
I wouldn't exactly call a company that had ~8.88 billion in operating income and 96 billion in revenue in the last year a pump and dump.
They've revolutionized the auto industry, and helped move the electric car forward by A LOT, and they are delivering millions of cars every year.
However, outside of the US, the competition is quickly gaining on them. BYD (+ other Chinese companies), Kia-Hyundai, VW group, etc. are all gaining on them and I don't think that selling Tesla as a tech company is really panning out. People claim that they have tons of other tech, but at least currently the non-automotive tech (including charging stations) is about 15% of their revenue with a relatively low profit margin of 11%, and FSD has been "next-year" for a decade.
Yes, the Elon hype is real, and o/c he's obviously overpromising tons of tech that doesn't really pan out, and his fanboys are happy to prop the stock, but the value of the company (currently) isn't as insane as it used to be.
The valuation has always been based on pump and dump. I agree it's a real company, that's just massively over valued.I wouldn't exactly call a company that had ~8.88 billion in operating income and 96 billion in revenue in the last year a pump and dump.

Huge miss on both the top and bottom line. Shares soar AH after moar vaporware announcements.Lol, so much for putting the cheap EV project on hold. I guess it’s back on the menu, just in time to slow down the stock price from sliding.
Yep. Just like the self driving car announcement. Elon is just saying whatever it takes to keep the stock price up. What’s next? “$420, secured” all over again?It's still vaporware . Elon is trying to keep the stock price up.
What do you mean? He’s hard at work designing the next model right now!Yep. Just like the self driving car announcement. Elon is just saying whatever it takes to keep the stock price up. What’s next? “$420, secured” all over again?
Man people are stupid, they've never gotten a car to market in less than 18 months, but everyone just believes them that a entirely new, low cost, low margin car will be rolling out in significant numbers in a year.Yep. Just like the self driving car announcement. Elon is just saying whatever it takes to keep the stock price up. What’s next? “$420, secured” all over again?
He literally bought the platform .some of the headlines about this new low priced model 'coming out' next year that Elon mentions are insane. They give this pathological liar a platform.
