my vw dealer has yet to recommend something dumb like an oil change or similar for my e-golf. I took it to firestone once for an alignment and he said, "all looks good, it's an ev so there isn't much I can try to upsell you on".

Indiana_Krom posted:Also I challenge anyone making a fuel/piss/snack break in an ICE vehicle to start a timer on their phone when they put the vehicle in park and see if it really is under 300 seconds. You'd be surprised. I use USAA safe pilot which tracks my driving and times, and I went to a gas station, got 7 gallons of gas, checked oil, went inside and bought oil (first time in years needing to do this) and a drink, then added oil and cleaned up. 6 minute total stop. Most would be far less for me.

If he's firing people against the cuts, I wonder if that's directly why he fired the people in charge of HR.

Mass layoffs are just a really direct way to fix your cost structure. Most of his wealth is in Tesla shares. The most direct thing he can do to boost his wealth is to can people and juice the share price.

I think Elon just watched the 5th element recently and strongly associated with Jean Baptiste Emmanuel ZORG a bit too much He’s trying to fire a million employees https://youtu.be/r0mO6UY6uTg?si=jAg1OTIsccUmnJtO

If tesla flames out that seems potentially devastating for EV adoption in north america especially with the other domestics like Ford pulling back.

nah, evs will be fine. ev1 and its siblings were doing fine at the time with limited rollout before gm executed the program, and now there isn't a single company that can kill them anymore.

priznat posted:poo poo, how much trouble are they in?? That's the thing. They're not really in any financial trouble at all. They still posted a profit of over $1bn last quarter. This is entirely Elon either trying to just slaughter the cow and walk away or hold the company hostage until he gets stock package that would let him retake sole control over the company.

InsideEVs has an article saying that they laid off a ton of the SC maintenance staff, so maybe EA will finally have some peer-level competition. Also: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1786586974108909815?t=ex4JMiHQXeWsPFPMHRnQ1w&s=19 Why the gently caress would you do this? He follows up by saying that they have to "pay their bills somehow" Indiana_Krom posted:Free oil changes for Tesla owners! Worth it for the joke, for sure. It's not like you're going to get more than one ICE swapped Tesla.

This is pretty much like what happened just after the chaos of the Model 3 launch (or somewhere around that point....?) - huge layoffs that turned out to be completely unnecessary and in the end most staff got hired back because they were rather required. The other well known brand that recently had this similar slash and burn (Twitter) had it's headcount culled to 1500, it seem back up to 3300 so..... really just unneeded chaos and uncertainty.
