@OriginalLBoogie@SawyerMerritt@Tesla I live in Australia and we have all the Chinese EVs you’re asking for. I work in the auto industry and everyone agrees that Tesla vehicles are the best. Their low price points are artificial, supported by Chinese Government money. They are literally selling the vehicles at a loss
I love Australia - proper people with a proper country.
Good to meet with @PaulineHansonOz who is working so hard to protect that.
We certainly share many of the same objectives.
This blatantly irresponsible reporting does more harm to people than they realize.
Using Tesla self-driving is far safer than manual driving, and this was measured over 10B miles.
Planting such FUD in the minds of general public, who might not know the all the facts, might prevent them from using this technology that makes them safer.
@OldTony1@TruthFairy131 All sides of politics should have a voice. That voice, however, should NOT be funded by the government. Tax-payer funded media org are incentivised to only publicise pro-Govt messaging or they risk being defunded.
Incentives determine behaviour.
The Economist on the U.S. economy’s consistent growth outperformance relative to other advanced countries:
“America’s outperformance began decades ago, but in the 2020s it has become vast. And it is likely to last. The latest IMF forecasts show American growth besting the rest all the way to 2030 and beyond….
Many of America’s advantages are hard to emulate. The country’s continental scale, single language, natural-resource wealth and the fiscal space that comes from issuing the world’s safe asset give it a unique economic advantage over Europe…
But America also shows just how much other rich countries are failing to live up to their economic potential.”

When people write about the crisis of creativity, they often forget that to be creative is to transgress, and to transgress one must have rules or standards to escape in the first place. This is what creation is all about, it is thinking about the same problem but being courageous enough to not solve it in the same old-fashioned way. It is the reason why, in their essence, all artists are conservative, as to engage in the act of creating one must have first masters he obeys and cherishes, idols he worships before destroying them.

I no longer understand anyone buying any car other than a Tesla
Where are you people living where driving is fun?
Any decent city and traffic makes it unbearable
Seems insane not to have self driving at this point
@SawyerMerritt My main concern is that the high touch points (centre console and arm rest on the door card) are now a light beige colour. They will show wear, tear and dirt a lot easier.
Tesla: We are making an affordable EV
Industry: We are going to do that too!!!
*Ten years later*
Industry: Never mind!!! We are shutting those lines down
Tesla: We are making an affordable autonomous vehicles
Industry: We are going to do that too!!!
