Tesla to cut thousands of jobs as Elon Musk warns the ‘road ahead is very difficult’

[Twin_Moose]

Since the cost of production equalled the cost of material to build a vehicle

 

[Hoid]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Where did the jobs go? To higher wage districts with higher utility rates?

Why didn't SUMA offer lower wages to save jobs?

 

[Hoid]

So this cost of production number had to less than the cost of the materials in order to make the manufacture of a car profitable.

You certainly know your stuff.

Obviously I'm right GM is closing up shop in Canada willing to lose $ 100 + Million in upgrades, and expanding their US and Mexico plants.

The thing about the cost of production being less than the cost of materials is that a normal person would think that the cost of the materials was a part of the cost of production.

Cost of production and cost of materials could be considered as separate costs - or not - depending on context. If two normal people wanted to understand each other on the subject it shouldn't be hard to clarify without resorting to semantic dogmatism.

The thing .... is that a normal person would think ......

Sorry Hoid but I couldn't resist:

How would you know what a normal person would think?

You can thank the greed of Unifor.

Who, why and for what?

Looking forward to the new nukes we'll need. We're running out of river valleys to dam up. Ontario is pretty flat and there is nothing more left to drown, here.


Perhaps the new Hell's Gate Dam and it's thirty mile long reservoir up the Fraser will satisfy the demand from the self-satisfied Yuppies in Duncan who can afford to drive $65,000 Teslas.

BC exports electricity. Lots and lots of it. It imports and exports and games the different prices at different times.

That trading game has cost BC hundreds of millions in unpaid bills from places like California.

 

[Hoid]

It pales in comparison to what the BC Liberals did to our economy.

Tesla stock over $400 a share.

I remember in May when it was $180 there were people saying it was a bad business model or some such nonsense.

 

[petros]

What's the EPS?

 

[Hoid]

Obviously its something you don't understand

the last of Telsa's 'master plan" vehicles has yet to be revealed. Rumored to be a bus-like vehicle that could perhaps utilize tunnels made by Musk's Boring Co.

I think where they need to dominate is in the van category - from mini to cargo. That's where a large part of North American commerce is conducted.
