I guess I'm not seeing the evidence of just the executives moving, and find it misleading to call these corporate relocations just a change in their post office box. Many of the above examples have large campuses and are employing thousands of new jobs to Texas vs just a shell of a headquarters...

Hmm... HP earned $1.1B last quarter and Trend Micro made $7.7B in 2020. I would not expect either to get back to their income in the boom days of technology, but calling them dead companies seems to be a stretch of the truth...

So Tesla joins Oracle, Hewlett Packard, Charles Schwab, Toyota (North America HQ), CBRE, McKesson, Saleen, Trend Micro, and hundreds of other California companies moving to Texas. Someone tell Apple to turn off the lights if they ever decide to leave CA.

These are interesting comments from someone who works at Boeing. Do you have something up your sleeve for the aviation industry to move away from fossil fuels?

Yep, but it made for a good internet yesterday: https://thechive.com/2021/07/20/jeff-bezos-went-to-space-and-the-internet-was-quick-to-ground-him-21-photos/

Heck, might as well shell out a cool $600k so you can enjoy your boat for 4 total hours. :ROFLMAO: I'm still rooting for someone to figure it out. Saving $ on maintenance would be another huge benefit since there is no such thing as a cheap maintenance item on a boat.

I googled and while there are some makers, they either fall into the category of severely under powered (like the 5 hp small boat posted above) or they are way too expensive ($200k) for the normal recreational boater. Seems like Tesla or another EV maker could seize the opportunity to do it...

We took out the boat and jetski this weekend and it struck me that those would be perfect candidates for EVs. They do not get used more than a few hours at a time, you have plenty of time in between uses to recharge, you generally store them in locations with electricity already, the...

Cool, and they are headquartered in Austin not too far from the gigafactory.

My head hurts after reading this post and I hope it is a poor attempt at humor. I'm licensed to carry a firearm, and you do not have the right mentality and maturity to carry. A firearm is to only be used as a last resort to prevent death or serious harm to someone. Using it as any other...

Woohoo. After searching quite a bit I found a kayak rental place that is taking advantage of the rental car shortage and has a Model Y that I was able to rent.

Thanks. There are tons available in the Dallas area, but nothing currently in the Whitefish, MT area for pickup/drop off at the airport. If I cant get a Tesla on Turo/another site, there are some cool looking Jeeps and other cars available that would be fun.

I'm taking a trip to Montana this summer and there is a severe rental car shortage and I'm not able to get a reservation through the traditional car rental companies. My plan B is to rent a car through Turo.com. Since I have only peen a passenger in a Tesla, I figured I would try and rent one...

This article is really just about how you spin the numbers. It could just have easily been titled "82% of EV owners purchase another EV as their next purchase". You can either focus on the 18% that go back to ICE for whatever reason, or the 82% that do not. I'm fully anticipating the...

I've argued before on here that the government should stay out of mandating the switch to EV, but it would be even worse for them to slow down the market's natural shift to EV. If that means we lose an few companies along the way because they did not keep up, then so be it. Just because you...

I'm envisioning him driving the CT up on stage for the opening monologue. As an added bonus, Miley Cyrus can come flying in on her wrecking ball and re-test the glass :)

For the record, I'm much more comfortable with the government offering incentives than I am with them outright mandating something. With the carrots/incentives, you still have the choice to do what is best for you as an individual or you as a landlord. With the bulldozer/mandates, that choice...

Dang, hopefully they get to the root cause and make the appropriate design changes, firefighting techniques, etc. If you are into conspiracy theories, this huge campus is also in The Woodlands: https://corporate.exxonmobil.com/Locations/United-States/Houston-Campus

Thanks, I think it is always good and healthy to learn everyone's perspectives, even if you do not always agree. Using the stalemate example above, I'm curious to your thoughts on other "amenities" in apartments. Let's take high speed internet as an example. At some point in time, some...

I would still argue let the free market take care of it vs governmental requirements. That means if I have an EV, I'm going to be asking about outlets before I sign my lease and take my business to the locations that can give me the service I need. If I own the apartment building and see...
