People hear "recall" and think every car has to go in for service. This is a software update. They can fix this with the next OTA update. -- nm - TWuG Feb 3, 11:12 14
- Make them give you your rolling stops back. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 3, 11:20 2
  - I get why that roll back is happening, but it was a very natural, human-like process. -- (edited) - TWuG Feb 3, 11:31
  - that's why they're fixing the seatbelt warning - to distract you from the minor traffic violations the car performs -- nm - decline Feb 3, 11:22
- It's pretty cool actually. Musk is still an insufferable prick and I'll never give him a dime. -- nm - Pocket Jones Feb 3, 11:18 10
  - He's an ass. But there aren't many CEOs who aren't. Bezos is moreso, but gets half the attention. - TWuG Feb 3, 11:26 9
    - He tucks me in at night! -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 3, 12:00 2
      - Musk or Bezos? Because I would not want Bezos's face to be the last thing I see before sleep. -- nm - TWuG Feb 3, 12:04 1
        
        Bezos. - CinnaBaron Feb 3, 12:12
    - nah, in my experience, there are *many* CEOs who aren’t. not being one gets more people farther than the opposite. it’s usually flash-y start-up - i.b.! Feb 3, 11:43 5
      - Billionaire CEOs might be a better qualification of my statement. -- (edited) - TWuG Feb 3, 11:54 4
        
        I think this is fair-ish and totally agree that he's on the spectrum. but I'm not giving a dime to the kind of guy who touts covid - amanda jeans Feb 3, 12:25 3
        
        No judgement of you meant. I'm uncomfortable with some of the ways in which businesses I frequent behave. - TWuG Feb 3, 12:37 2
        
        I appreciate your stance. I wish he were not such a jerk because I fully admit that he's done great things for furthering EVs. -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 3, 12:41 1
        
        I'm glad that you and mop and Reagen are all able to get EVs from other builders. I want every car builder to succeed - TWuG Feb 3, 12:47
that's as many cars as tesla -- nm - colin Feb 3, 10:57 8
- Pretty close, yeah. Wikipedia says 930K. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 10:59 6
  - That's the 2021 figure. They've sold over 2 million vehicles. - TWuG Feb 3, 11:14 5
    - sold sure, but delivered? -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 11:58 4
      - Yes. They don't build cars on spec. All cars (minus a handful for showrooms) have a buyer. - TWuG Feb 3, 12:13 3
        
        Your IM got to my point. If people are (still? I dunno) waiting 6-12 months for a car they've bought, then sales > delivered -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 12:30 1
        
        Yeah, Tesla is very supply constrained. It's why I'm bullish on the stock. - TWuG Feb 3, 12:42
        
        More directly to your point: When Tesla announces sales figures it is always "delivered" with a separate "built" number also reported. - TWuG Feb 3, 12:17
- heh, was just thinking this -- nm - Beaker Feb 3, 10:58
