chinese ebikes and power drills are basically disposable tho. they can sell cells as lovely as they want for those and nobody will care there

point of the tesla battery designs are that the individual cells can be real lovely and also flammable and the whole deal will be still ok and nonflammable

container shipping is ludicrously cheap

it's also ludicrously cheap cuz it's ludicrously efficient. overseas shipping was 10x cheaper than overland in 6000 bc and also 2018 ad and every step in between

if your bananas come from peru in a container, the gas cost in driving it from the distribution center to the grocery and then from the grocery to your home is like 5x the gas cost of getting it to the port from the other port

doesn't tesla not actually have that much venture capital behind it at this point?

and wasn't most of tesla's venture capital raised by or outright from ol musky himself? like that was the entire reason he got to be an honorary founder and the head of the company, he dumped a bunch of daddy's money and paypal money into tesla.

so in the end the primary vc for tesla is the guy in charge so its not much of a threat

daddy's money for musko was <100k
it's paypal money and raised from ipo money

i thought "musk paid for tesla out of his own pockets because he's so kind and wanted to give the world a better car and he lived on a friend's couch while he was doing that!" was a complete myth though

at that point the guy was like $50 million post-ipo so lol at the couch, but it was definitely cuz of basically no reason

its almost as though we're at this point where we realize that people that constantly poo poo content into social networks in a vain quest for approval and belonging may have a more than 50/50 shot of being just a little bit fascist

but we'll never admit or act on that

question, then, is, "does yospos count as a social network"

make apartment blocks government-owned, mandate a homogeneous ethnic mix in line with the nation's wider demographics

singapore does that and this particular aspect of the authoritarian hell state that is singapore owns

this is literally the only antiracist thing they do and singapore is now basically the least racist place in asia

dude i know did a commute seoul -> LA for his import business for 9 months
he got a heart attack at the end of those 9 months and retired

it was prolly just because he was a fat gently caress by korean standards (average by US standards)

crunchbase says that they only have 11-50 peeps
which would indicate about 30 engineers tops, probably deffo more like 15
which would indicate lol, no more engineers, actually

have fun not developing any more software i guess

switching all your devs to different ones: also a hilariously idiot idea
not even taking into account the union idiocy, which they will prolly get away with but will probably lead to their inability to hire anyone decent
