Like, part of being an OK engineer or designer or whatever is saying "Hey, I am EXTREMELY UNQUALIFIED to design something that people's loving lives will depend on". Even if the world wants to suck you off and pretend you are literally LE REAL TONY STARK, you have a responsibility to step away from the problem and let more qualified people deal with it. It's sorta like you wouldn't try to perform heart surgery on someone if you're a pharmacist. What he tried to do is basically really lovely from an engineering ethics standpoint.

I've said this a few times and I don't want to come across as a Tesla apologist, but the cars in the desert thing is for two specific reasons: first, customers won't get the $7000 tax credit if their cars are delivered before Q4

what? you have this precisely backwards. the $7,500 credit ENDS at the end of Q4 (dropping down to $3,750) so the incentive is to sell as many cars as you possibly can before then

GWBBQ posted:

Prior to that, it would phase out per manufacturer if they delivered more than 200,000 vehicles per quarter, dropping 50% the next two quarters and 25% for the following two. With so many preorders, it would make no sense for them to trigger the phase-out any earlier.

they already hit the 200k trigger

what they want to do now is sell as much as possible

I haven’t read the graeber book about this yet but oh yeah, there are so many bullshit jobs out there it’s kind of impressive. where your job gets so abstract—okay, I guess what this organization does is necessary, and I guess they need people like me to do it, but my own personal day-to-day tasks are largely meaningless—that it’s hard to have any sort of pride about it

of course I’m sure I’d find something to bitch about if I was digging ditches too

Does anyone here have contacts with journalists covering Tesla? I'm an international shipping analyst and I believe I've stumbled onto something sufficiently large that it could explain Musk's behavior today.

Some people you'd want to talk to are Ed Neidermeyer, Dana Hull, Lara Kolodny, and Linette Lopez.
