is your wife the equivalent of a "princeling", a child of one of the chicom party bosses, or some other beneficiary of wealth inherited from some form of exploitation of chinese slave labor ? if not, i know this testimonial of yours is bullsh*t.

Just buy a Chinese EV. There are literally hundred models available. And way cheaper with the incentives. Like the VW Lavida electric that just has been introduced for CN¥160,000 (US$25k) with a range of 275km. Or how about a BYD the new Tang ist gorgeous. Or the BYD Pro. Or how about a mini car with the size of a Smart like the ZhongTai e200 after incentives for CN¥60k (US¥8.5) there is literally no need to buy a Tesla. The BYD e6 Taxis in Shenzhen, show the development. I was just in e6 that has driven 317,000km in 18 month! You do have super charger stations in Shenzhen with up to 600(!) stalls. There is a wave coming of cheap reliable Chinese cars, that also look gorgeous.

Robert Smith all people need to continue asking is, “with so many other western countries doing “it” (whatever “it” is...), why is it so bad/detrimental/difficult, etc...

There are plenty of reasons to criticize renewables. The German experiment is imploding. It gave them nothing but expensive electricity and bad emissions. I'm comparing against nuclear of course, not fossil fuel. If Germany had spent their hundreds of billions of renewables Euros on reactors they would have had a carbon free grid and cheap, reliable electricity by now. It's absolutely amazing how renewables supporters can say that climate change is an immediate existential threat and then go on to completely reject nuclear although it's both lower carbon, safer, more reliable, doesn't need storage, takes up very little land, and enabled the fastest buildout of grid electricity in history. It's more or less a religion at this point.

@@niacal4nia Tesla lose? No, I think go to merely 5 % of the market share while Chinese companies went to 15% in the same time, all taken away from ICE vehicule market share. If you call that "lose", then I'm with you.

@@nat3llite How can you afford a Tesla, while having aspirations to drive uber. Which is what people do who dont have valuable skills to offer society.

Unless you have the shares delivered instead of held electronically at a broker (like 99% of people) the broker can and will lend them for shorting regardless of whether you have a sell order active. In the same way a bank loans out your deposits. They just need to hold enough shares in reserve to ensure any actual sales can be transferred.

Actually, only shares held in margin accounts can be shorted. If shares are held in certificate form they can not be shorted.

John, you are 100% correct. Elon makes statements that are relevant in ways we don't realize in the moment, but judge him due to his delivery or by the fact that he's just so far ahead of everyone. We thought the Cybertruck was a joke, but now there are over 650k reservations.

Terrance Anderson 90% will pull out

Often electric energy is made from oil, natural gas and coal and that is not always bad Here in the Netherlands we do a lot of farming in greenhouses and some are so big that they build there own powerplant on natural gas and filter out the CO2 and use that to make the plants grow faster 1 company like this produces 40 million tons of food and whit 15 of these farms/powerplants we can have the electricety we need plus massive extra food production witch is all grown in a quarantine so no poisen has to be used 👍

Well done. I have a Toyota Hybrid, as are all the taxis in Sydney(and no doubt elsewhere) and it is terrific. Uses half the fuel and has great low end torque. Hope that Toyota shelves their silly hydrogen idea, the thought bubble of their aging maestro, and gets with the EV trend. I'm sure that they will see sense; it's all about the availibilty of batteries just now.

My problem is that I could not afford a $50k (CDN) car on a fixed income. With luck I was able to buy my 2018 VW e-Golf before the incentive rebates in Ontario were cancelled by the newly elected provincial government. I love my EV and I agree with the presenters here ... I am not going back to the ICE age!. If I could afford one I would love to test drive and most likely then purchase a Tesla but it seems a remote possibility.

It feels more like the future every day though.

My father is fanboying so hard that he speaks with every relative whenever there is a reunion to convince them to buy an EV, preferably a Tesla. He also told me to order a Model 3P so he can borrow it out because my mom doesn't allow him to buy the powerful version of it hahaha

Good luck and I hope your wait is near it's end. Thanks for putting in the effort to go for something that you want and making whatever changes necessary to get something better for yourself and the planet.

D R-K Unfortunately I just started saving for one. Part of the reason I did was because of this channel! I have a long way to go because of student debt. It will probably take a year or two to save up enough money for a good down payment so that way I can reduce the auto loan I’ll have to take out. When I am finally able to own one I am definitely going to try and convince as many of my family and friends the benefits of driving one from an ecological, safety and just overall quality of the car basis. Also, thank you for the kind words!

@@michaeltobolski9449 maybe by then they will have fully implemented the Maxwell batteries. Until then - there are a great deal of environmental concerns with their lithium batteries from a cradle to cradle perspective. That's the show stopper for me (and the range because I live in Canada, everything is far away and the cold saps the battery).

what did you do with all the money you saved on gas and insurance?

F&K spent it on maintenance.

WOW... was hoping you'd say its not true

Even the employees question the future .. they are willing to stop progress .. because they make money in that industry...

I don't think that Tesla is going to become the most selling brand. World wide market and most of the population don't buy prime cars like Tesla's, and the Chinese market has matured quickly these past two decades, they will be the ones to decide the future of evs

And they have the economy and the governmental will to invest..

Sergio Ibagon 10 years ago batteries cost $1500/kWh . Now they cost $140/kWh, they are about to hit way under $100/kWh (threshold for price parity with petrol). So the Teslas will become mainstream cost in just a few years. They are leading battery development and I predict Legacy auto will have to buy the Tesla “skateboard” or die... I would hate for every car to be a Tesla, but if every other car had a Tesla battery/powertrain that is a world I would welcome.

So it won't be any problem for you to name a better car then...

GREAT NEWS!!! Let your wife drive the Tesla sometimes... it will win you brownie points I'm sure. Happy driving!

Is it good for off roading and hauling too? Just wondering if they made any that covers all things done with a car. It's fancy and drives nice but doesn't seem like it does practical things.

Spread this INFO more as most people dont know it

Yes, the stockbroker or prudential organization holds your shares in trust and lends them out at a weekly or daily fee/cost which they keep - covering holding and administration costs and a Business/corporate profit

Does this happen even through a platform like Robinhood?

I actually witnessed this at SEMA in 1996...There was a firm called Coats Engineering who had invented bolt on replacement heads for the major ICE Engine blocks around the world...the difference was instead of using valves in the heads, they used a rotating lobes on a camshaft for intake and exhaust thereby eliminating up and down movement and converting it to rotary movement. The result was staggering increases in RPM for all engines...the higher RPMs resulted in way more power output or a reduction in displacement to achieve the same power=better fuel efficiency. The entire booth and all materials disappeared after being open 4 hours! I have never seen the technology emerge again.

They are paying people to take thier cars now. Its not going to happen any time soon.

c. 65% of USA electricity production is fossil fuel, including lots of coal. 20% nuclear. So to considerable extent into the foreseeable future it shuffles the oil/natural gas usage from vehicles to central power stations (which are more efficient than cars but still burn the fossil fuels.). Large scale conversion would require immense amounts of lithium (e.g.) and it makes sense oil companies would switch over as they have the global supply chain well oiled.

@@SunriseLAW Lithium is not the bottleneck for batteries. It is actually cobalt and probably nickel.

At the moment Tesla is throwing a wrench in their own business, more and more customers are unsatisfied with the after sales service.

That is where they are way behind the traditional car companies.

If they are wrong they will lose a lot more than $9 billion! Short selling has an unlimited down side after all!

1. Follow the money and for the most part 2. The result is the intent. As they explained, in the video is not possible for the people at SEC to not see this. If they did not know they would incredibly dumb. Dumb people generally do not rise to that level of power.

They're kind of glossing over the fact that tesla's stock price actually collapsed last year, and the number of shorts out now is reflecting that. It's not some massive conspiracy-- basic logic says that if a stock suddenly surges without a clear cause (2019 was a poor growth year) one might reasonably expect a market correction to be on the way.

And yet most long distance hikers and biker have to consume nearly pure fat to avoid starvation mode

Exactly. And that cost lives and so shouldn't have been let to pass.

Complex carbs are the best source of fuel. Lots of folks making money off erroneous notion that fat is healthy. Of course you need EFAs. Beyond that stay away from fats especially animal/saturated fat and you'll avoid a host of diseases.

Because it is: Eating fatty foods is directly measurable as more lipids in the bloodstream. So the more often that happens to your vascular system, the more plaque builds up in your arteries. Sugar is bad for other reasons, like increased risk of type 2 diabetes and caries, and ingesting excessive calories in any form will make you fat. However keeping your energy intake on level with what you burn, it is physically impossible to gain weight, without violating the law of thermodynamics! So when people claim that soft drinks makes you fat, they are talking about people ingesting more calories than they need on top of what they eat op fat and protein, and in that sense they are right, but it is an unscientific conclusion as the comparison is made on different premises by not using the same calorie intake when comparing High sugar and low sugar diets.

Tore Lund I’m on keto high fat and no sugar with lots of greens. Never felt better in my entire life! My depression is gone!

There's good reason for that. Once you buy one, you'll understand why you too won't want to sell it.
