​I have no idea why proponents of electric vehicles (EVs) always like to bring up the point of how electric cars have better acceleration than cars powered by good old fashioned internal combustion engines (ICE). For multiple reasons, this doesn’t help their case and just isn’t true.

​Despite what all of the headlines about the Unsworth v Musk trial say, Musk was the big loser here. Here’s why, he lost the PR battle and he’s losing fans because of it.

​Another day, another moron abusing Tesla’s Autopilot. It’s one thing for these “bros” to have little disregard for their own safety. But it’s an entirely different matter when they share the same roads as my wife and children. My family didn’t sign up to be a part of Tesla’s beta software testing. 

​Tesla’s pickup truck reveal last night was a disaster. I can’t imagine a more hideous looking vehicle if I tried. In fact, it’s so ugly it has single-handedly caused a significant stock price drop the day after. 

3D printing isn’t glamorous like electric cars or trendy like eating vegan, and yet, it’ll impact the world a whole lot more than either of those combined. Way more. I read this article on CNBC Evolve which echo’d many of my thoughts.

​One Year from today, Tesla’s stock price will less than half what it is today. It just closed at $346.11.
 
I get no end to the entertainment which is Elon Musk desperately trying to prop up his dying empire. Almost weekly, he’s having to stick another finger into a leak in the levy. Whether it’s a new lawsuit by customers, investors, or whistleblowers. Or another product defect like peeling paint, whompy wheels, or self-immolating batteries. It seems like Tesla is cursed and Musk is now wholly consumed with putting out one emergency after another. 

​The Tesla corporation made it official this week that their growth story is dead. The fact that their stock price bounced upwards only highlights how pessimistic Tesla longs were in 2019. Q3’s tiny profit, even with the revenue crash, finally gave them a little hope. At least until the 10-Q came out which revealed that, in reality, there was no profit. 

​The Apple corporation at various times is one of the most shorted stocks on Wall Street. But you never hear Tim Cook raging against them.  That’s because Apple is a self-sustaining entity. They don’t need constant cash infusions from investors. Which is why Tim Cook really couldn’t care any less about what AAPL short sellers say or think of Apple.

Automated flying software from Boeing has been connected to two crashes and Boeing was forced to take the entire fleet of 737s out of service. Further, it’s conjectured that this model may NEVER fly again.

​Casey Liss of the The Accidental Tech Podcast asked an interesting question in the most recent episode. In speaking about how terrible Tesla fans are when they perceive even the slightest criticism, he asks if Apple’s Mac fans were just as bad?
