I started reading Bad Blood a few days ago. After the first few chapters I'm shocked that it took so long for the company to fall apart.
Yep, it seems so obvious after the fact. Makes me wonder what companies are frauds now that we don't recognize.
may I recommend the TSLA thread
Great thought... except one has technology that works but maybe isn't economically viable while the other didn't have *****
Not quite.
-They've sold millions of dollars worth of something called Full Self Driving which has zero chance of doing what they originally claimed it would do. (Plenty of lawsuits about this)
-Many Model3 depositors did so on the promise that their vehicle could be used as a driverless taxi and make them money while they slept.
-The company claimed/claims it records all their fleets autopilot interactions thereby creating an insurmountable lead in the autonomous race. In fact, the hardware and connectivity do not exist to the necessary extent for this to occur as they say it does.
-The solar roof was unveiled (and deposits collected on) in the fall of 2016. It was supposed to cost about the same as a normal roof. It still is not in production and is considered vaporware at this point even though other companies have made a similar product in the past. If it ever does come to market it will cost several times what was pitched.
-The company is currently taking deposits on a car that Elon says will possibly have cold thrusters on it and "fly."
There's more but I digress. Sorry, Elizabeth this is your thread.
