Elon Musk Urges Customers to Buy 'Tesla Cyberwhistle' Instead of Apple Polishing Cloth

If you really believe that I got some bridges to sell to you...
Tesla's lead here exist only in having new plants with new machine that have a lifespan of 2ß-40 years (and need that lifespan to make financial sense).
Any new plant coming or or any full overhaul in an existing one and that lead turns into "also ran".
The joke is fanboys will buy anything put in front of them regardless of value or sense
Without a doubt, the highest form of the Art of the Troll. I would buy neither Apple's polishing cloth or Musk's whistle (except as a gag gift on either front. Why not put both in a box together and gift as a set?). It would be funny as hell to make a YT video polishing your cyber whistle with the Apple polishing cloth.
Sometimes I think I'm living in a Marvel movie without the super heroes....
I'm sure you know more than the CEO of Volkswagen, right?
VW CEO Tells German Workers Tesla Factory Will Threaten Jobs
Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Officer Herbert Diess urged German workers to prepare for a deeper overhaul to remain competitive when Tesla Inc. ramps up vehicle production at its first European factory outside Berlin next year.

At least he’s not boring and predictable like that stooge who heads up Apple.
Are you talking about Tim or Elon lol…. That was the whole point of his joke…. But you gotta at least realize it was a joke to get the punchline
I see your point, but by that logic, he should have made a comparison between something like the most expensive Mac Pro and a Model 3. Would have had the same attention, though I suppose neither company really desperately needs it.
Seem like a lot of hate for Elon. Like Steve Jobs, Elon is a leader in making a better world; no other company has pushed electric cars, sustainability, moving away from fossil fuels otherwise it would have been done 50 years ago. Tim Cook is getting better since he realized Apple is not a fashion company ($16,000 iWatch) but there's still remnants of bad decisions. I think Elon is calling out Tim on those remnants.
Hint: your link does not prove what you might think it does.
Sure adding another car plant to the market will put pressure on everybody else in the same market (doesn't really matter who adds that plant) and sure most VW plants need that massive overhaul and once those are done they will for sure operate with fewer workers.
So yeah lots of hurt coming in if your VW, but once that is done it will be Tesla with slightly outofdate 10 year old plants competing against brand new ones equicked with machines that have all the quirks fixed after Tesla did the beta testing.
Why? It looks far too much like their failed 'cyber truck'. The one with the super tough windows that broke. I'd rather own the polishing cloth than a symbol of that ridiculous event. Hard pass...
don't know about the messianic status, but tesla has a cult following just like apple, his tequila, flamethrower(notaflamethrower) all sold out like bangers.
I can actually respect Elon and Tesla, since they're a good manufacturer, unlike Apple, who takes all the credit from their manufacturers by saying they "Custom Designed" their components. Design doesn't really matter, as everything is based on how good a manufacturer's process is.
Except it’s the market that has blinders on, Elon has told them many times they are over valuing Tesla by a lot, the stock has gone up multitudes since he told them. A bubble exist in the ev world right now, investors have been told point blank so when the bubble pops I don’t think I’ll be very sympathetic
But at what point do we, as a society, decide that being a troll isn't productive, and is actually damaging and threatening our future. I mean, there is 'wit', and there is 'sarcasm', but being a font of such self-owning negativity is caustic, and I've gotten tired of it. He needs to grow the hell up.
But can it clean my MacBook Pro display without scratching it tho?
I’ll stick with apple’s polishing cloth thanks!

And Musk admits that SpaceX is potentially going bankrupt, and he is forcing people to work longer hours to fix his problems. What about that sounds like a safe investment. Sure, Musk is an a---hole, but how does that end well. He's a narcissist, and how does that end well. Is Starship Musk's Spruce Goose?
Yeah because a $50 whistle has so much more value than a $19 cloth that you will probably use every day.
define "profitable"
2021 q3 revenue: 13.757 billion, profit is 1.83 per share. but only a few will get dividends. you guys are trading promises and lies. looks like there's not much to back the heavily inflated share price.
