  1. Interesting last 2 days for Tesla. Stock dropped by >15%, with multiple bad news, from potential autopilot related crash to Model 3 delays, which was supposed to be 2.5k/week now but probably isn't. Tesla is a fascinating study with a caricatured Silicon Valley philosophy (optimism in tech so release beta version, boldly go because failure is not a failure per se, etc.) combined with charismatic/conjuring leader (do-everything CEO is engineer who sleeps on the floor and answers your questions on twitter, cultish following, etc.) that has definitely achieved its top objective, which is shake up the energy/transportation industry, but lacks enough discipline to put its survival at risk. The cars are great, battery driven world is still TBD (imo) due to materials needed, and I have real concerns with traffic where daily transportation is not mass transit based. Continue talking about Tesla cars. Just wanted to reinstate Tesla thread here.
  2. There is a good chance that the "flat earth" messaging is just an excuse to keep his steampunk hobby in the news. It must be pretty gratifying to him to have national news covering his antics, which otherwise would have been completely unknown. If that's true, I am impressed with his backyard engineering, and more so with putting himself in an elaborate firecracker.
