I have the BMW i4, and I would echo the same comment. BMW is extremely conservative with range estimates and would almost certainly meet or beat their range estimates.


When I used own a Model S, it nearly left me stranded in a mountainous highway, in winter with its optimistic range meter. Ultimately, I had to drift behind a truck, drive at 45 mph, and reach the Supercharger with 2% charge remaining.


PayPal was not founded by Elon. SolarCity was run by his brother / cousin (?) and was about to go bankrupt before being questionably acquired by Tesla. Boring is not a thing. Even Tesla wasn't founded by him. So his track record is really creating SpaceX (and jury is still out on long term success) and executing on Tesla (where technology, concept was founded by someone else).


Is this the Alphabet X or the Elon X ?


I really think incidents by autonomous cars are the least of SF's problems


Evernote is still around ?


I thought Musk had said that there is nothing worth stealing from Twitter because it’s codebase was so bad

Trade secrets is not code.


I think they stole the core concept from Twitter - engage users and then show ads. Sue them


Fine. What is it then?

Could you give a generic example of the sort of secret an employee might take out of Twitter and use to build a competing product?

By the way, Musk didn't specify "code" either.

I feel like I read about Airbnb's collapse every other month. Anyone showing random data on twitter and expecting a brand- which is literally a verb and doesn't even require paid marketing - to collapse 40% is laughable. I must also point out that a 40% drop is not reflected in the stock price (which is actually up quite a bit) or in the forward guidance. It is also interesting, that supposedly data driven people in Hacker News would fall for some random tweet.


I really don't think he is saying that. There is not quote for him saying anything like this. I think he positioning the trade-off.
