Tesla to cut thousands of jobs as Elon Musk warns the ‘road ahead is very difficult’
- Thread starter petros
- Start date
The big question we asked Consumer Reports was: “How come?”
We have recently seen the latest results from the Consumer Reports (CR) Reliability Survey, and they made us scratch our heads. Among 30 brands, Tesla is in the 23rd position. It is in the bottom third, with a score of 39. Yet, the Model 3 and the Model S regained a Recommended rating. They represent ⅔ of Tesla’s current lineup – or around 67 percent of it. How is this Recommended rating possible with such a low overall score?

Once Rivian drives the fatal blow to Tesla, they can buy-up that defunct company for pennies on the dollar.
... Mind you, Musk might be targeted for a plethora of law suits by those that, in good faith, provided a deposit and nevert received the product
Yup... the "fatal blow" to Tesla and all returns back to normal in the oil fields...
The Tyrell Museum should have have one of your drilling rigs on display in the courtyard.
China wants their oil and the Cdn gvt made a deal to give it to them.
Oil sector will be just fine.
On a different note, I understand that Ont is just a few short years away from having as many retirees as working folks and what with AB and SK seeking to run their own Prov police, operate their own pension plan as well as other initiatives, tater tot and the Feds will have a lot less money to hand-out to Ont, Que and the Maritimes... Add that to the dismal economic climate out East and I'd suggest that you'd be wise to invest in a company that produces cat food - you and your neighbours will be relying on Fancy Feast as food for a long time to come so that extra investment income will come in handy
No need, you can see them up on the hills above the museum
Oh, we're not rusting away. This is not the country's boom-bust-boom-bust region.Tremclad is your friend.
Enjoy your cat food
Tesla Faces Environmental Challenge In European Expansion

Trees
Tesla may have to cut down trees in a pine forest near Berlin where the U.S. electric vehicle maker plans to build its first factory in Europe, according to Electrek, in an ironic twist just after Elon Musk pledged to donate US$1 million for the planting of 1 million trees.
At the end of October, Musk said he would donate for the planting of 1 million trees in forests of need around the globe, and even used the “Treelon” Twitter handle for a few days.
Earlier this week, Musk announced with heart emoticons the colors of the German flag that Tesla has picked Berlin for its Gigafactory in Europe. The plant “Will build batteries, powertrains & vehicles, starting with Model Y,” Musk said, and later noted that ‘Berlin rocks.’
Announcing the decision, Musk said “Everyone knows that German engineering is outstanding, for sure. That’s part of the reason why we are locating our Gigafactory Europe in Germany. We are also going to create an engineering and design center in Berlin, because Berlin has some of the best art in the world.”
The decision was not surprising - analysts had expected that Tesla would pick Germany for its European factory, although most had expected the location to be in the westernmost parts of Germany near the borders with Belgium or the Netherlands.
The land for the factory on the outskirts of Berlin is a 300-hectare plot in the municipality of Grünheide, and there is a pine forest in the area, according to German outlet Welt.
Does Musk know killing an ecosystem in Germany is killing an ecosystem regardless of how many trees he plants elsewhere?

Someday,maybe. Montreal was for a time but they have successfully progressed beyond that phase, in Stark contrast to the American cities to the South of us.
You should spend a day driving through the practically endless industrial parks in the 905 ring in orbit around Toronto and let's see how much rust you can find. It's a myth generated by your jerkwater politicians for the benefit of jerkwater hillbillies who have a pathetic need to believe they're better than the rest of us.
If we are hit hard then the ones without that as a natural resource are truly 'over the barrel' and about to be royally fukked.
It would the bad deals that are cut for royalty fees are the actions that are kicking Alberta's in the nuts. If you want an example of how fukked Canada is already. The diamond mine that made $17B in about 10 years paid Ottawa 350m in royalties. Gold mining in the Yukon runs as 10% - 20% for miners that do not own the land. (that would be the few Indians that live in the area) $*3,400,000,000 in 10 years rather than the $150M the Miners 'gave them out of the goodness of their heart' is the term used.
The $500 was also a tax deduction do they paid nothing as the Canadian Taxpayers paid the whole bill and got robbed by Ottawa and the Miners at the same time.
Are you getting an idea of what the problem actually looks like?
Yeah a single crop / single resource economy is a dead end.
