and, while you want to dismiss the idea of people wanting a street level charger, it's a very real infrastructure issue. why do you dismiss the needs of others? because it doesn't fit in with your TESLA 4 LIFE! indoctrination?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the one who advocated for near total transition to EVs, outside of a few cro-magnons who hold on to their 10-25 year old ICEs, by 2035? So the ability to find a street level changer in Islington, where ever the hell that is, is something you should consider important.
I surely hope not! We still haven't figured out how to dispose of the waste generated over the last 50 years...
The top chart is the current national EV charging coverage. The bottom one is cell phone coverage in 2004. Half of Texas didn't have cell phone coverage 17 years ago. Things change fast when there is a ton of $$$ to be made.
Forgot about 5 and 13! The antenna was never good enough to get UHF stations.Actually there were seven, 2,4,5,7,9,11 and 13. And that doesn't even count the a couple of UHF channels. Remember them?
The various rocket companies will make a killing delivering it all into outer space.

I've always said, just launch it into the sun.
Of course, there's still the small matter of what happens if one of the boosters decides to blow up on launch. My recommendation would be to launch from Texas. Florida, maybe.
Lol. Yeah, just as soon as they invent explosion proof rockets!The various rocket companies will make a killing delivering it all into outer space.
Why the NDA? Hmmmm? Something to hide?
They can borrow Hotblack Desiato’s ship for the sun dive.
Can it wait until we're done with dinner?
Sure. Try the beef.
I gotta say, a cow that walks up and introduces itself and then suggests various cuts of itself sounds pretty cool to me. Although I’m not sure @Jm0513 would be very pleased about it.
Rockets work via one big long controlled explosion. But yeah. they‘d have to be launched from someplace remote. And from downwind.
The NDA was a dumb idea. That's lawyers for you. It was not enforced and none of the beta testers followed it which is evident by the scores of YouTube videos uploaded since last October. Tesla axed the NDA a while back. Try to keep up and keep digging!!!
Please tell me that you are joking. Because there is no possible way you could ever be that naive.
Musk fired his entire marketing staff. The next time you see a Tesla ad on TV or the internet will be the first.
IMO. we cannot transition to 100% ZEV fast enough. They don't have to be all electric. My guess is that will be in about 10 years for new vehicles. as you've stated dozens of time already, there will be huge legacy of ICE vehicles, so you, Uncle Lemonjuiceface and all the other ICE worshipers won't have to worry about on-street charging solutions for some time.
You made the claim. Provide evidence of Tesla's "intense marketing". Their advertising budget is $0.
Looks like the Mach-E is popular (good!). OTOH, having to get a vehicle through a dealership is so Model-T-ey. Another advantage to Telsa.
Which brings up another interesting topic as the EV transition continues....What happens to dealerships?
That was kind of the point. There is no such thing as a safe place. You can't isolate the spread of the radioactive waste.
There will still be a need for service centers, but even there Tesla offers some mobile service options. And as places to see new models and do test drives. But all those salespersons ... no clue.
Quoting myself - sorry, bad move - but relevant:
Who is this guy and why is he relevant?
Follow up question... is this guy just making this nonsense up? I have worked on these kinds of financial models... you can make them say anything with enough assumptions.
Follow up question #2...Do you even know how companies create forecasted financials?
A guy on Twitter says to buy TSLA? Then I must do so, because stuff people say on Twitter is totally legit.
"Guys on Twitter" (James is one of them) who follow Tesla exclusively have been much more accurate on deliveries, earnings, and forecasts compared to Wall St. analysists.
That's new car sales. Interesting data point in the article:
"That last point is backed up by data with seven out of every eight cars bought and sold in Norway a used car. The NAFs numbers show that of the 357,176 ownership registration changes so far in 2021, electric vehicles only accounted for 12 %."
I'm amazed. You're actually serious. LOL.
Okay, let's start with the super-obvious. Tesla.com and Social media.
I'm curious how they budget for their website, since you say they have no marketing entry in their balance sheet.
Don't forget the ad spot on the Times Square video billboard on the Marriott Marquis.
"Sales. But totally not Marketing. Really. Two different things, Sales and Marketing. Trust us."
I just think it's mind boggling that any otherwise intelligent person would suggest, despite the obvious evidence to the contrary, that Tesla doesn't market itself. Unbelievable.
And why would the Teslaraita insist Tesla doesn't market itself or it's products? Because Tesla told them so; that's why. Oh, and look! They showed a balance sheet w/a zeroed out entry for marketing. Absolute proof that they couldn't possibly be engaged in marketing activities.
That's scary cultish brainwashed right there. Denying reality.
I suppose the next argument we hear is that the website, including it's blog and it's "tesla engagement" area, and all its social media accounts, like the official YouTube channel and twitter just for a start, are all just for disseminating "important customer information" only.
They would NEVER use such tools to market their message about their products and company. Nooooo.
Insane. Elon could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and the Teslarati would look around for witnesses to kill.
Right? I'm sure they will, or would have, tried trotting out that ********.
The YouTube videos are sales infrastructure. The blog on their website is dry factual recital of fact. Their "customer engagement platform" is all about teaching customers how to operate their turn signals.
Riiiiiiiiiight.
