Sixt to Phase Out Teslas From Rental Car Fleet on Poor Resale Value

  1. That sounds great if you don't do this kind of stuff for a living. That means instead of a simple pair of small wires going to a turn signal, you need a bundle of higher spec, higher capacity wires. Then instead of simply having the turn signal, you need power conversion and a microprocessor at that turn signal. The parts come with corresponding reliability and security concerns. Finally if that turn signal fails it can take down the whole bus.

    One size fits all isn't all the novel of an approach, it just has lots of drawbacks.

    Maybe not for them once they realize the can install DRM on every single part and rape you on repair costs. Expect what was a $2 button to cost $200. Look at what John Deere is doing for an example.

  3. Define tech co.

    Generally tech companies sky high p/e ratios because of the potential for exponential growth. A lot of the big businesses are being valued like tech companies, yet the potential for exponential growth is not possible.
    Amazon of Tesla literally cannot grow by 1000x, especially not while correspondingly increasing their operating costs. That is very different from a software company, a streaming service, etc.

  4. %%
    FUN you noted that /i consider AMZN a tech co/ most say its retail + TSLAa car co
    TSLA> 2.7777 %% in QQQ tech leader ETF
    AMZN >5.5777 %% in QQQ tech leders ETF
    NO MATTER what they say i'Ve done/
    give me the reigns = watch me run/
    i never had to much fun. D Singletary>4,o477,777 video views.
    You could call TSLA auto sector, IBD does /but has so much non union tech stuff/ that my point.
    Maybe right on NO 1000x or even 777x, so I'll watch for market wake up or down LOL:D:D

  5. Exactly. It sounds like Tesla has swapped out copper wires for more semiconductor devices and printed circuit boards. The weight benefits may be there, but the costs, complexity and reliability concerns increase a lot by it.

    I've used it a lot in Seattle. And in Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York when we have visited. Quite safe in those places. Which town are you referencing?

  7. All of those. I realize you're super left wing so you will say that it is safe even if someone was getting shot every single day on all those lines, but for those of us with some sense, it is not safe.

    The simple fact is all it takes is one time to ruin your life.

  9. Typical leftist response. Information is the problem. If you would just only look at their approved media list, you would never hear about the crime so therefore there is no problem.

    Do you guys really still get you news from TV channels? If that's the case I feel bad for you. No wonder you believe so much gibberish.

    Go watch some actual video of the real experiences of people using public transit in those cities.
