Tesla: The Cybercab Failure Is Worse Than You Think

The Cybercab launch was the catalyst that was supposed to justify Tesla's valuation, and it delivered almost nothing that investors could measure. Instead of a fleet expansion plan, the company got a federal investigation, while its main competitor keeps adding cities. Meanwhile, the car business is heading into a tough Q3 comparison, and discounts are already back in China.

Sounds like Elon needs to get crackin' on what he has demonstrated in his other businesses, ingenuity like building new cars, launching rockets the like of which countries aren't capable of, then launching his cars to Mars, trying to figure out the robot thing, etc etc.

I'm still curious about his robots....they seem the most tenuous of his endeavors. But hey, you and I have both done the hanging thing with billionaires, maybe in another life we'll get closer to hanging with trillionaires like him! 

Among your many faults, your hero-worship of Elon Musk may be the most nauseating.

You're mistaken. He is a scumbag, trying to repopulate the planet with his spawn, a typical womanizer, his idiot politics in relation to GovCo were nothing but idiot posturing, and he shows no sign of trying to improve these idiot characteristics.

But robber barrons of the early 20th century were like him, yet created the military/political/financial/technological behemoth that became the US of A by being the same brand of shits.

The American oligarchy allows such things to happen. He isn't unique. He is just the most recent. 

 

Your hero-worship of the Robber Barrons who built the FSoA (who were 19th Century, not 20th) is equally nauseating.
