Hasn't musk been losing traction in this game for a while now anyway? My understanding is that Tesla's whole initial selling point was that they disrupted the market and made electric vehicles something that people would want to buy, whilst the other automakers were 'technically' making EVs but making them look awful to keep the fuel industry alive.

Other automakers have woken up to the demand now and are making nice EVs. Unless Tesla can do something innovative that actually works consistently they're probably going to phase out.

I respect that dad's haircut. Accepted reality and keeping things neat. Strong man.

Yeah mixture of both, wouldn't you agree?

Sometimes you can get far by just being lucky.

Sometimes you can get far by just working hard.

You're most likely to get far by working hard and being lucky.

You can still not get anywhere even when you work hard.


Strong economies create more opportunities which means your luck factor doesn't have to be as high.

Thanks. Shame it's increasing but 58EUR is still pretty good value, no?

Do you have a link to the increase? I did hear about it but everything I see online just says it's extended in to 2024.

It's camping without the amenities of a campsite if Wikipedia is to be believed

I'm not sure where my head was when I commented this.

Just getting at the idea that they're basically worshipping the thing.

We as people just really like worshipping stuff.

Maybe worship is the wrong word due to its religious connotations, but it's effectively the same thing to hold these kind of celebrations for items that we revere.

Anyway, I'm not sure why the above was relevant:)

If that belief held, based on Ukraine's statistics, it would be permanent rain now and for the next century or so.

I'm certainly not content with the labour government's handling of Israel.

I tried writing to my MP about it but they don't appear monitor their emails yet.

Very disappointed.
