Automotive

So these cars (and Porsche Turismo) would be direct competitors to Tesla Model S, correct? And since the Tesla is also notably expensive, would you expect that in time these other companies will overtake Tesla in EV sales? Or perhaps Tesla is staying appropriately ahead of the game with updates/innovations, plus having a strong first-mover advantage.

Full disclosure I am a Tesla shareholder…having said that my best friend is a head mechanic / service rep for Audi. Tesla as far as I know owns the chip space. (Proprietary) and all of the other makers will be at a serious disadvantage for another 3-4 years. I think it comes down to this: Tesla has the edge in batteries and software and the others have it in chassis and suspension etc..

The evolution of this industry (and select others) is an amazing topic of discussion.

Soon there will be nice looking grill-less electric

The future promises to bring cars that will be shaped like fish (like Tesla and the Mercedes-EQS) with headlights that are likely to be much smaller! 

this is what I witnessed doing extensive testing on the streets of Santa Monica........

This one is a full self-driving version, the occupants inside the vehicle were merely observing and recording data on what the car was doing autonomously........

And has one of the prettiest, hand-made grilles ever put into production........ Cheers, Filip

even better than Gelato !!
P.S. There are EXTERMELY few things in the world better than Gelato ....

Actually, I take that back. Here in San Francisco, an ice cream sundae at Smitten is now around $9! I can't afford that! I've got watch payments!

$9 for a single serving of gelato!

A single scoop at Smitten is around $6 with taxes. But I normally get two scoops which is over $8 with taxes. If you add any toppings like sprinkles or something like that, it quickly ascends to $10! A sundae which has around 2-3 scoops roughly in size is around $9-10 and it's a good deal, since it comes with its own toppings, maybe some fruit, and can be shared. But still. SF has become super expensive. And look at the store's costs. They have huge fixed costs, labor costs, rent costs, and rising variable costs. Plus they use liquid nitrogen to make their ice cream in their patented proprietary churning machine so it's probably more expensive to manufacture.

Personally liquid nitrogen ice cream is not as good as regular Gelato/Ice Cream.

Old School all the way

its like comparing LP with the old 1990s DAC (nowadays DAC is much better 🙂)
