Don’t let it hurt your ego.

Where’s your source?

Its illegal to drive with headphones in most of Europe. You can use a one-ear headpiece to make calls, but not full blown headphones.

This, along a bunch of other rules that I’m sure you think are absolutely stupid, are probably why so many Americans die on road accidents when compared to the rest of the world.

What the fuck?! Why would you ever drive with headphones?

Driving with headphones is illegal in most, if of not all of Europe, for what I though were rather obvious reasons…

You know, I like the design. If I can take a wrench to it and customise it or repair broken stuff easily and for cheap, even better.

The range is kinda meh, but for working in remote sites, bringing a diesel generator is already par for the course, and that bed looks like it fits a lot of stuff.

No stereo sucks though.

You didnt think that was worth doing when you brought it up, so why would I. You sure put in the effort, 1-line man.

Oh I’ve seen this one! This is where the crowd starts chanting “LOCK HER UP, LOCK HER UP” right?

I’m in the exact same boat, I considered buying a Tesla in a distant past, but the quality issues held me back. Dodged a bullet there, won’t touch one with a 10 foot pole to save my life now.

But there’s many out there who don’t care or have short memories, and the richest man in the world can sure as hell afford all the PR he needs to wash away all the dirt, if he shuts up and goes back to running companies…

My guess is Tesla will have grown their revenue by this time next year. Or you could be right and it goes up in flames, guess we’ll find out at some point…

You seem to be struggling a bit, so let me help you out: the title does nothing to address the point that euromaida or whatever is not reputable.

Well sure, but where’s the fun in that? Eh eh

Thanks for the concern brother.

Musk was heavily involved in the designs of the roadster and model S. Believe it if you want.

I guess it’s just embellishing the expression “paving a path forward”, meaning in a more literal way that it would be easier to follow it, and more abstractly, that progress is now expected to be swifter than before.

Good link thanks, let me book mark it if I ever need to waste someone’s time.

On your word?

Depends on how good the offer is I suppose.

If it offsets the inconvenience and additional cost by a significant margin, or if there’s other reasons why it would be good to take it (ceiling at current job, better progression prospects at new company, other quality of life perks, …) then you shouldn’t ditch it outright.

But 15 years without going to an office, it could be a jarring experience. Consider well how this will affect your daily routines: force yourself to go to a shared workspace and work from there 3x a week, then evaluate if it works for you or not.

This. Headphones and instrumental - anything with lyrics is too distracting - but classical works best for me. Give me some Tchaikovsky and I’ll pump code like a good monkey.

Your sample size seems skewed, or at least it doesn’t match my experience.

Mostly my younger colleagues, those in their 20’s and early 30’s, miss the office and actually go voluntarily about 2-3x a week. They enjoy the flexibility of choosing when to go, but they need to meet new people around their age, bond, go out for drinks, all the “normal” things we old timers used to do before COVID.

Nowadays I don’t care for all that, I have my own family and social circles, but I totally understand their point. I just don’t want to be dragged back to the office because of that.

“Starting early next month, in May, my time allocation to DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] will drop significantly,” Musk said. Musk said he’d continue to spend a day or two per week at DOGE, but said he will be “allocating far more of my time” to Tesla.

Tesla stock jumped 5% in after-hours trading after Musk’s disclosure.

Ah.

While I hate the guy with a passion, I think you’re underestimating Musk.

He has enough charisma and can-do mentality that, if he shuts up with his most blatant political bullshit and actually focuses on making better cars, Tesla will continue to grow massively.

Like, if he goes to work on designing a few new models that fix the flaws in current Teslas, and adds an actual pickup to the lineup while pivoting the cyber truck to a limited-edition “meme” vehicle, they’ll be pumping out cars like crazy.

Edit: y’all seem to have amnesia and forget that, before his coming out as a nazi scumbag, a few years back there was no shortage of people ready to hail him as the second coming of Jesus…

They’re like human resources in that regard…

Sensationalism is the kind of red flags I run away from… Obviously the BBC have their own political slant, but I’m aware of it and can correct for that. Same when I read an article from something like Fox “News”.

But if you give me some unknown site of which I don’t know the background and more importantly, who’s funding it, then it’s useless to me and I’ll just add it to the bunch of misinformation machines I run into everyday.
