I have followed the technical and manufacturing aspects of electric cars fairly closely over the last 15 years. What Tesla has done has been remarkable and of profound impact and I do not use the word profound here lightly; Tesla advanced the adoption and development of EVs by 10 to 15 years.<br/><br/>I get that ppl don&#39;t like Elon Musk and I don&#39;t like him myself but viewing Tesla through an Elon Musk lens, as I suspect you&#39;re doing, leads to shallow analysis.<br/><br/>Would I buy a Tesla today? No, and I&#39;ve never owned one. But for US Americans they remain the best EV choice. Finally, Tesla is not just a car company, it still has a bright future ahead of it in various sectors and none of its competitors, including BYD, are writing it off. (And no, I&#39;m not suggesting ppl buy Tesla stock either. I don&#39;t and have never held it.) 2025-07-14T21:16:43Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs0cxg06ly4dnkrd8m2hqwy7n6c2nfsawsqxd5smgae3rm8gppa7pczypmnz0zjx62tln92q5p5qy8kw9rqgzvrsrnhuy77akjqmjg5ylh4x8q46ty In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfghqvg7ycr9r8q7n6scsvhpnfywgpkrwenggx8slvs3p06tr7hnqh4fzu7'>nevent1q…fzu7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think you may have edited yr comment from what I replied to<br/><br/>Cheers, this new version is better 2025-07-14T09:02:30Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsfghqvg7ycr9r8q7n6scsvhpnfywgpkrwenggx8slvs3p06tr7hnqzypmnz0zjx62tln92q5p5qy8kw9rqgzvrsrnhuy77akjqmjg5ylh4x5fajsu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz0qwhc6ev9y842dp9vwh8qp2g69qaemla9fathd7lvem2zt0x6pgjy88sr'>nevent1q…88sr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The F stands for Free, not Freedom<br/><br/>Don&#39;t write RMS out of history, and I hope yr error was only ignorance and not something more sinister 2025-07-14T08:59:36Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs9jahdy8e7xsnfmv43d5fnqt3m7mygxatad655ugnve64r3gg2zfqzypmnz0zjx62tln92q5p5qy8kw9rqgzvrsrnhuy77akjqmjg5ylh4xnkxp5a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw77yy482p9at5u4747jl5gqt5yujt3q8nyk5828th4evs7cyvwzsl57kpg'>nevent1q…7kpg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And French &amp; Portuguese &amp; Belgians &amp; Italians &amp; Germans<br/><br/>Spanish too (Western Sahara &amp; Equatorial Guinea) but they were mostly focused on South America<br/><br/>So, IOW, follow the coastline all the way around from Italy to Germany (the Med, the Atlantic &amp; the North Sea) and every country on that coastline exploited Africa 2025-07-14T08:54:06Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqszqud4xvmh7csz597sz22dhxvg7uh7g9m3v2h24p6t44g5sw80jtszypmnz0zjx62tln92q5p5qy8kw9rqgzvrsrnhuy77akjqmjg5ylh4xg84303 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy2lwhttv4lugmkna29nxlhzq8kjegdxlq0jcsar7kljmr6qfwumsgh4p4d'>nevent1q…4p4d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Your kayaking adventures look way more fun and more real 2025-07-14T04:56:12Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsw2ufx9eavzedj82n4zmmqnc5lhvuvks5d602pzfan3r8w6zxp9fqzypmnz0zjx62tln92q5p5qy8kw9rqgzvrsrnhuy77akjqmjg5ylh4xn55t5g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdz7xqn86n37u66njtskmwrzndpe7aa6443zljgryrg2mv47vvduggv9st0'>nevent1q…9st0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The kid didn&#39;t choose that hat<br/><br/>Don&#39;t use kids as a billboard however righteous you consider the message 2025-07-14T04:45:44Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsdgnfke9fcl5hr7g6ygwrvqf6r8y394rv75nrx9aswk37jfy2g5rgzypmnz0zjx62tln92q5p5qy8kw9rqgzvrsrnhuy77akjqmjg5ylh4x7xfpds In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstfdgwa6sf2up8e9l55ryzxr8na8z82tm626afp6vwt8204uukmxgd5ch3k'>nevent1q…ch3k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This is a silly take; Tesla improved EV tech in many key ways right from its beginning and it remains a highly respected carmaker with Chinese car buyers and by competing Chinese manufacturers <br/><br/>These Chinese manufacturers are definitely out competing and out innovating Tesla in some important ways now but that&#39;s after being a long way behind for most of Tesla&#39;s existence and by learning from Tesla&#39;s pioneering efforts<br/><br/>Don&#39;t get me wrong; I am enthusiastically cheering on Chinese advancement of EV tech and its broad adoption but it&#39;s silly to sneer at Tesla.
