Fasting should help keep the weight down. It takes your liver 2 weeks to adjust. This has helped me to stay less hungry.

Sure, but they are probably raising prices because their wholesale costs have increased. The didn't just get the idea to raise prices for no reason.

Except that there most commonly sold car is half that, plus maybe $500. Then if you factor in cost of ownership, which its crazy not too, subtract another $5000 or so.

"I sure wish a tech billionaire would do something about this. Their inaction on countless fronts, in fact their complacency in undermining progress on environmental causes in global politics, is one of the thousand reasons I got out o

No, their edge is their factories (manufacturing innovation). This is the real product. The cars don't really matter. Seriously.

To get their market cap you need to factor in solar, batteries, and self driving cars. Just FYI I think you are missing these.

Yes paywall but please support The Economist. They are one of the few great news sources left.

As an American with an EV this seems out of touch. I've lived downtown and in suburbs and gas stations have never been nearby. Street parking needs EV charging and gas stations maybe need fast charging but not normal level 2 charging.

This is going to make electric cars extremely cheap once the million mile battery is out. Probably at least 50% cheaper given the money you can make selling off peak electricity at peak prices. Electricity costs by me since I switched to ti

Why don't companies with lots of assets like airlines sell them? Companies without assets need some help, not airlines.

This is completely wrong. The biggest costs to tunnels is bureaucracy. Simply using private funds without numerous contractors can decreases costs by an order of magnitude with no technological improvements.

Yes but have you seen the costs of infrastructure in the US? Big business is bad but big government is bad too.

Because of competition. Your competitor who lowered prices by 1% would eventually drive you out of business. There is a lagging effect, but these taxes are just a reduction in cost which eventually get passed to consumers. Assuming the mark

Its more complicated than this because certainly their gross margin in $ is higher on the tri motor. However this adds complexity. So, what you say is probably true but it has to be worth it given the extra complexity as well.

I bet 1 year after Tesla has Model Ys coming out of Giga Berlin Tesla's prices will really start to drop for base models. At this point they will finally not be so supply constrained.
