To some the future is more important than the present. For others the present is more important.

To each their own.

Except we can’t each have our own. Inflation rewards shorter time preferences, so we have a “this quarter” economy we can’t opt out of.

So how do we fix that problem? Stay the course, or try to do something now so that our children are better off?

It’s probably also dragging Trump down, which if intentional would be truly genius.

Probably a case of Hanlon’s Razor:

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I just wait until the dice land.

I haven’t broken through the paywall, can someone explain why a drugstore chain is being quoted? Do German drugstores sell cars or run deliveries or something?

I’m afraid there isn’t that much meat to the story… Here I’ll give you the quotes relating to Rossmann, the rest is padding or embedding context if we want to be charitable.

“Elon Musk makes no secret of his support for Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a hoax—this attitude is in stark contrast to Tesla’s mission to contribute to environmental protection through the production of electric cars,” Raoul Rossmann, Rossmann’s spokesman for the management, said in a statement.

Thirty-four of Rossmann’s 800 vehicles are Teslas, the company’s spokesperson told Fortune. The company plans to continue using those vehicles for “sustainability and resource conservation.”

Rossmann is the first major business to cite Musk’s political stance as a reason to halt future Tesla purchases. Other European companies have dropped orders from Tesla for different reasons.

Elon never cared a bit about environment and shit, that’s why he wants to land on some other inhabitable planet.

It just happened that there was a void in the market and Tesla was at the right time, introducing expensive luxury ev with long range when the only other options were expensive shitboxes with limited range. Suddenly there was an option to get something that would be worth owning at that price range.

If he really cared the environment he would push for a small and light city vehicle instead of a huge heavy truck with a giant battery that can’t be used for actual work

The chain has a fleet of 800 vehicles, 34 of which are teslas. It seems as though they were going to replace the others with teslas over time, but due to Elon, they decided not to.

They also say they will maintain the teslas they do have, so as to be environmentally responsible.

Hey Tesla board. This guy is the entire reason I don’t want anything to do with your company.

I really like my Model 3 but I hate the association with Musk, I was considering buying it at the end of the lease but I’m having second thoughts. Yes, I know I’ve already lined his pockets in a small way!!

I haven’t experienced the poor build quality, in the 2.5 years I’ve had it I’ve not had any issues and only 1 recall for an o-ring replacement on a gas strut.

Tesla needs to be rescued from Musk by one of the established car manufacturers, my vote would be for Mercedes.

intelchaser ,

I think Elon is smart enough to calculate the pros and cons of what he’s doing. Even if this is hurting Tesla, he probably still seems it as net positive in his mind.
