    So, you just flat out can’t read or what? Again, I mentioned vehicles that can charge at higher rates. So that’s three times I’ve said it, let’s see if you pick up on it yet.

    I bet your lie about daily use still doesn’t equal the number of times I’ve used Tesla chargers. You probably didn’t think you were talking to a former Tesla owner. I wonder what you think those videos of people putting wet rags on NACS handles are talking about. Couldn’t be derating, certainly.

    So confidently wrong.

    You cannot use these at all without a Tesla account

    You absolutely can if you own a Ford or Rivian on Plug and Charge. I don’t have a membership, I’ve used the chargers. Confidently incorrect.

    As someone who actually uses these chargers

    As someone that’s clearly used them longer than you, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    they can deliver the maximum output for this vehicle

    That’s why I mentioned vehicles that can charge at a high rate.

    Not sure where you’re located, but without a “membership” for Tesla charging, the cost is about double any other company near me. It’s insane and a great reminder to only use these chargers in an emergency when you have a vehicle capable of charging at higher speeds. Tesla’s chargers derate all the damn time.







  • Bankruptcy (chapter 11) doesn’t mean the company goes out of business, or that the share price goes to zero. It means they renegotiate debts, after presenting a plan describing how they’ll be able to pay those renegotiated debts. If those debts can not be renegotiated, the company can not present a plan that offers paying them off, or the court rejects any part of the plan, then the company’s assets may be liquidated to pay any outstanding debts.

    Being bought out would likely come before any of this, which again means the stock wouldn’t be worthless.



  • He absolutely was. Early on, there was literally nothing Elon could say or do that would make Fred question Elon’s integrity or genius. The change in Elon’s relationship with Fred came when Fred finally actually owned a Tesla vehicle and realized it was a piece of shit. He had the audacity to ask Elon questions about quality problems people were reporting and Fred finally believed, on open Twitter, which got Elon to block Fred temporarily at least. What happened next in the community is the most predictable thing ever, as the True Believers turned on Fred and accused him of everything under the sun.
