Tesla CEO Elon Musk Takes Shots at Apple During Earnings Call

hydrogen ain't happening anytime soon, no one but a small portion of california has the hydrogen infrastructure laid out.
I do not live in California, nor even north America, but, for most of my purposes, the local hydrogen station would be just fine.
There is even a hydrogen vehicle manufacturer slightly closer than the nearest Tesla seller/service location.
Depending on how busy the service center is, mine took like a month because they were backed up with other cars. I am waiting to get it replaced now and they have 3 techs but 21 cars to work on.
Volkswagen has committed to producing no new ICE cars, only EV’s (and hydrogen powered cars which I hear will be available within 20 years**). Tesla may not be the only reason but Volkswagen sees them as both an example-probably of both what to do and what not to do- and their current prime competitor, at least in the US.
** I can’t say 20 years from when. I first heard the hydrogen powered vehicles will be available in 20 years in the early 1970’s during the OPEC oil embargo. And have heard it again every time there has been an oil shortage of any kind.
really, wales have hydrogen stations, when i was in swansea couple years back i don't recall seeing any.
Again, reread to the ORIGINAL post you replied to: "They have plans to open up the supercharger network."
Even if Tesla were to require a license from now and into the future, it is still "OPENING UP the supercharger network" since before it was closed off to other EVs.
Opening up the supercharger was always the plan since 2018. Drawing a line between license and no license is an example of what we call "moving goal posts".
But your regurgitate statement could have just as easily been applied to Steve Jobs. He wasn’t the technical genius in Apple’s early days either, Steve Wozniak was. But Woz probably couldn’t have built Apple into the company it is now. And no one was building anything beyond battery powered kiddie cars when Elon took over Tesla. Extremely low volume, short distance, older technology electric cars. That we’re also boring to look at and drive.
At least with these 2 people being an innovator seems to require being an opinionated dictator as well. It sort of worked with Jobs-company did fine but when he got sick his intuition and beliefs ended up killing him-and we don’t know how it will end up with Elon. The person that the car company Elon owns is named for was a genius who died broke with his products making millions for other companies but not for him.

Elon sucks with time, we all know this. Tesla in the end still produces results, regardless of how late they are.
There's a difference between a person looking for a job and recruiters actively harassing you via phone/email to come work for them.
The assertion was divers didn't want the submarine. I countered with actual evidence.
You can have fun discussing pedophilia, but I have no intentions of speaking on that subject.
This is the guy who called one of the cave rescue divers in Thailand a pedophile because the guy said the robot Musk sent wasn’t helpful to the rescue. Musk is a jerk and a crackpot. People complained (rightly so) about Steve Jobs’ antisocial tendencies, but Jobs seemed like a real peach compared to this guy.
Wonder if Musk’s handlers and cleanup crew are out and about on the thread, or if they stick to Twitter and other social media?

It literally says it in the 3rd sentence in the Macrumors article above! C’mon at least read the first 5 lines of what Macrumors write!
“In a discussion about plans to allow Tesla competitors to use the Tesla electric vehicle charger network”
lol. Although he may be opening it up from the comments he's made - actions will be the true test and how long it takes to do so.
I do love how all the complaints about the "walled garden" want to have the US (and the world) be a "walled garden" with a minimum tax rate, worldwide controls etc. The worldwide government monopoly is the true walled garden.
Not true. The media portrayal of Steve is just that media. I knew him. He was absolutely passionate about what he did, but he wasn't arrogant or ratty as the media suggested. He was a really nice guy who appreciated input from like minded individuals.
Tesla FSD mistakes a full moon for a yellow light, so I don't think he's quite as far ahead in this race as people think he is. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Tesla's Full Self Driving System Mistakes the Moon(!) for Yellow Traffic Light
Tesla's FSD system mistakes the moon for a yellow traffic light, and slows the car down. This can be a problem.
I have not had any serious issues myself. I'm currently having an intermittent AC issue that I have a work around for and I need to take it in but have been waiting for a new Service Center that is much closer to me to open up (it was supposed to open in the "Spring" but hasn't yet). I however have not owned one that is out of warranty and that seems to be where the "right to repair" issues come in.
There are probably a number of douche billionaires that are as big or bigger than Elon. The Koch brothers, the Walton family, Jeff Bezos….and Saudi, Kuwaiti, and United Emirate royalty that you probably don’t want to be on the bad side of. There’s probably a list of Russian and Chinese billionaires as well but they don’t get much press here.
