  • I have one of those (GWM Ora 3). They’re better designed, better built, and better designed than anything Tesla has made so far, so it’s understandable why the Chinese makers are eating their lunch. Tesla was sales success only because the market was eager for electric cars with decent range while they were pretty much the only game in town. The problem is, Tesla engineers know how to put out decent drive trains with great autonomy, but everything else around those is crap. Now that people who actually knows how to build cars are catching up with the drive train and battery capacity, Tesla is toast.

    The stock might stay up, sure, but as a purely speculative paper without any real value behind it, just like crypto.








  • Not to mention it was built on such a shoestring budget that it used stainless steel in several parts, had rivets that were not flush to the surface in places they wouldn’t affect aerodynamics and used vacuum tubes on several avionics.

    The last part, some tankies would want you to believe that it was stroke of genius from MiG, because tubes are less susceptible to EMPs. The truth is, the Soviet industry was so behind the west, they simply were incapable of manufacturing EMP hardened semi-conductors.
