Is there ever a time when it makes sense for them to be covered in plastic? the cars are covered in plastic because they are bad. it is bad because the cars are bad. the times it makes sense for the cars to be covered in plastic is when they are bad, which these cars are (bad).

musk wants to live like a rich guy but all his money is in tsla stock. so he borrows cash money from the bank using his stock as collateral. if the stock becomes too cheap to pay back his loan he’s underwater

etalian posted:Can someone explain in layman terms how Musk would lose his shirt in a margin call? margin is a collateralized loan based on the value of your securities (stocks, bonds, etc). it varies between securities but generally more volatile ones like stocks are about 50% of the value at the time of borrowing (at least for the S&P 500 stocks my company deals with) to up to 70% on strong corporate, treasury, or municipal bonds so lets say you were borrowing on margin with a mixed, wide exposure $1 million all stocks brokerage account (a bank that lets you conduct securities trades) and you went to the maximum 50%. The market doesnt have to dip very far to get a margin call, but reducing the borrowed assets from 51% to 50% of your total portfolio isnt as bad. not like you would want to be at max leverage all the time, but in a mixed portfolio youre not quite as exposed as elon is TSLA is a pretty volatile stock and all of elons margin is based on its value. if elon hits margin call territory it will likely keep plummetting, which means he has to add more money to reduce his margin balance or the brokerage holding his shares will force him to sell them off. since elon is the face and CEO of the company, this would likely trigger panic selling from other holders so elon is then in a position where he has to pay back a loan backed by an asset, his TSLA shares, that is rapidly depreciating in value while everyone else is also trying to cash out cumshitter has issued a correction as of 00:30 on Sep 6, 2018 |

orcinus posted:Cause the doors were leaking. My first car back in college was a used mid-90s Oldsmobile Achieva, and eventually it developed a leak somewhere that often, but not always, resulted in the foot wells flooding after a rainstorm. By that point it had over a hundred thousand miles on it and I was a short-sighted idiot in my twenties so my brilliant solution was to just keep a few towels handy after the body shop I took it to replaced the seals without fixing whatever the problem was.

They're sorta right in that pumping hydrogen is really energy intensive and it's really hard to keep it from leaking, not that infrastructure at all in impossible.
