the car market is definetly oversaturated they seem to be sustaining this post-equilibrium state with government subsidies and 'strategic acquisition' i.e. monopolization. wich hopefully gets the profit margins in order, but at leasts aids in more governments-gibs (via stronger coordination in their efforts of leveraging power/lobbying, having more leverage) also chinese are making investments (like buying daimler/mercedes-benz) that would be -ev in a vacuum. they are doing it trying to find a way into the market after beeing cockblocked EU & consorts. and for the tech I assume.

wouldnt buy a tesla though. that level of computry and no FOSS, or at least OSS, forms too high a risk as is. plus there is sending a signal that we want/require these things, so we can actually have them instead of getting cucked all the time. also am I uninformed or do they loose like 90+% value when the battery dies (8y warranty) btw data collection is fine within certain limits. the reality is many people do need privacy with all the persecution going on and rising (subverted alphabet soup agencies, militant semi-organized communists or good old moderate islamists beating up right-wing politicians) so it is necessary to have that option. would you buy a car that requires you to censor yourself on certain topics lest you may be facing zelot vigilantes or worse? its not like the 'as long as you have nothing hide..' slogan is anything other than propaganda/dysinfo I understand the realities of the market, competition etc. so I dont blame tesla for everything. still not a product I want.

they are trying to buy their way into innovation however they dont have any attractor for that of their own - not a real economic opportunity behind them. just a bunch of leftover money. 'talent acquisition' looks too much like yahoo. companies need an adhesive, typically an enormously strong forcing function caused by economic currents. it can be other things, like a magnetic leader etc. GM has none of that, only gubermint bailout money so while that is going to get somewhere (since they have a lot of it) I would assume they will still be outcompeted by other companies with stronger attractors (econ opportunities, PR, ..) and movers (like mission/aspriations, inspriation, arbiters of quality, ..)

and of course there is the negative sentiment about it beeing illegitimate, unearned, perhaps undeserved if epistemology swings that way, because of the above
