>The real problem for Tesla is that their destiny is probably to be the next BMW - a good midrange luxury car maker, about #12 in the world on volume I think this is dead on. People are expecting Tesla to be the GM of EV's but that's never going to happen. GM will be the GM of EV's. Bolt and Nissan Leaf have both far outsold all Tesla models combined, and that's not even a fraction of the worldwide EV fleet that exis…
> Bolt and Nissan Leaf have both far outsold all Tesla models combined, and that's not even a fraction of the worldwide EV fleet that exists now. And Android phones are for more numerous than iPhones. My point here is just that pure number of units sold does not determine a company's value.

Translation: "Things in the universe happen for no greater reason at all, they just happen according to a small and simple set of laws that describe the behavior of matter-energy and space-time" vs. "There's a being, which is conscious, all-knowing and all-powerful, sitting somewhere, or actually nowhere, that uses its power to set things in motion or not, depending on its mood, and how it likes some people, but by n…
Using longer sentences and adding arbitrary words does not make an explanation more complex. I was simply pointing out that simplest explanation may not always be the most accurate.

Are you trying to point out that Occam's Razor is flawed? Occam's Razor would tell you that evolution (which has over a century of evidence) is more likely than a designer god (which is lacking in evidence).
God is simpler then original theory of evolution which is simple the current evolutionary theory. Occam razor favors simplications over careful analysis.

I wouldn’t call the Nissan Leaf or GM Bolt+Volt luxury cars at any stretch - thought I appreciate they’re priced $10k more than they should be. I’m still convinced GM and BMW are deliberately trying to delay, if not sabotage, the mass adoption of BEV cars.
Interesting.
Can you explain both their (presumed) reasoning, and the indicators you see?

Actually it is reverse. Evolution is much simpler as a theory than an idea of God creating everything correctly
By correctly you mean "in present state"?

Yes, as in the currently observable state because since there's no such thing as evolution, then from the beginning god would have had to create every single relationship that all living and non-living things had, have or will have.

NDAs are out of control everywhere. I understand they have a time and a place where they are useful, but most of the time they are being abused (ie. Stormy Daniels NDA, etc).
No, most of the time they are rather unremarkable and don't cause problems for anybody. You hear about the outliers, not the thousands and thousands of NDAs that are never disputed.
