This is so good!

Two old men, so triggered by a joke on the internet. Relax!

 

I'm not even certain you invested in tesla to begin with...  Everything seems to be a joke.

[Mike K.]

How could you be certain?

[Ismo07]

How could you be certain?

 

Never can, I really am not certain about anyone's posts now if they can just saying they were joking after each one so that during a discussion they can try to say someone has been triggered by the joke.

 

Big hint, just because someone has a discussion with you and gives you another way to look at something, does not mean they are triggered or upset.  It's just a talk..  You have a tendency to tell people what they are feeling.

From my friend who lives in LA

“Problem with robo taxis right now is if someone stands in front it will stop. Pranksters are standing in front to stop them. Skip the taxis but come for tacos.”

[Victoria Watcher]

That’s a feature not a bug. Stand in front of any car it’s best it does not run you over.

Hey that’s what I said too!

I guess in LA human driven taxis don’t stop.

In LA, humans don’t stop in front of human driven taxis.

Members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team have told advisers they plan to make a federal framework for fully self-driving vehicles one of the Transportation Department’s priorities, David Welch and Allyson Versprille of Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the matter.

 

If new rules enable cars without human controls, it will directly benefit Tesla (TSLA) and its CEO Elon Musk, Bloomberg points out. Current federal rules pose significant roadblocks for companies looking to deploy vehicles without steering wheels or foot pedals in large quantities, which Tesla plans to do, the journalists add. While the Transportation Department can issue rules through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that would make it easier to deploy autonomous vehicles, an act of Congress would clear the way for mass adoption of self-driving cars, according to Bloomberg.

 

A bipartisan legislative measure being discussed in early stages would create federal rules around autonomous vehicles two sources told Bloomberg. One candidate under consideration for Transportation secretary is Emil Michael, a former Uber (UBER) executive who has spoken with Trump’s team and potential staffers, they said. Shares of Tesla are up 8% to $346.05 in pre-market trading.

Tesla makes roof shingles.

Tesla makes roof shingles.

 

Not really.  They do assemble them but don't make any of the parts.  

 

And the have sold less than 4,000 roofs.

It’s been a tough year for the Volkswagen Group. Globally, it’s shutting down plants, losing market share, axing car models, and now tossing out a CEO. Volkswagen of America just announced that its CEO, Pablo Di Si, is out effective immediately after just two years at the post. Replacing him is Kjell Gruner, who will officially become CEO of Volkswagen of America on December 12. In the interim, Gerrit Spengler, the current chief human resources officer (CHRO) will assume the role until Gruner steps in next month.

 

Gruner has spent 25 years in the industry, at several different brands. It seems VW wants his expertise with both legacy and upstart automakers. He’s held management positions at Porsche AG, DaimlerChrysler, and Mercedes, and was even President and CEO of Porsche North America. As it happens, Gruner is returning to the Volkswagen Group from Rivian, where he was just the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Not only does that give Gruner experience with a new, electric upstart, but it may also help develop the growing partnership between both Volkswagen and Rivian.

 

“Kjell Gruner is an absolute expert for the US market,” said Gunnar Kilian, VW AG Group Board Member for Human Resources. “He has over 25 years of experience in the automotive industry and extensive know-how in exploiting and expediting growth opportunities in North America. Volkswagen AG is indebted to his predecessor, Pablo Di Si. His outstanding commitment was of central importance in realigning our business in South America. He subsequently laid the foundation for the positive development of our North American strategy.”
