Tesla Lied To Customers, Blaming Them For Shoddy Parts The Company Knew Were Defective (www.techdirt.com)

Tesla Lied To Customers, Blaming Them For Shoddy Parts The Company Knew Were Defective::Back in July, Reuters released a bombshell report showing that not only has Tesla aggressively lied about its EV ranges for the better part of the last decade, it created teams whose entire purpose was to lie to customers about it when they...

But is it really?

4realz OP ,

Yh but isn’t open source meant to be like ‘non-profit’, just asking.

4realz OP ,

Wooh. Interesting, had no idea (about the iOS thing), thanks for sharing.

4realz OP ,

But 99% of people don’t know that.

Exactly, Spotify is stuck between pleasing artists and the big publishers.

4realz OP ,

Wooh. 👀. This isn’t Spotify’s fault. They can’t pay artists if they don’t have money.

4realz OP ,

Like the article explains, they can’t price their services too expensively, because of competition. If Spotify becomes $25/month, most users will move to Apple Music or YouTube Music, etc.

4realz OP ,

Spotify is definitely not the villain here, they have created the best music streaming platform in the world. The big publishers also can’t be called the villains per say, but it wasn’t so nice of them to force a small startup (Spotify in it’s early days) to sign contracts that will permanently force it to payout about $0.66 out of every $1 it makes.

Netflix and X are both Tech companies, so this is tech related content. Which follows Rule 2 of the community. Posting about ‘Drake’s new music video’ for example will be “unrelated stuff to this community”.

4realz OP ,

Exactly, but “technically” he is credited as a founder. He’s a really good business man.

I understand where you’re coming from, but business is brutal and things like this happen in that world. PayPal (formely X .com) was also started by Elon, I don’t think he “scammed/tricked” anyone on that. And he has made billions for his investors over the years. I mean Tesla is worth over $600 billion, due to the marketing genius that is Elon. [Mistake: Elon didn’t start PayPal, just X .com]

4realz OP ,

Oh it wasn’t.

4realz OP ,

True.

4realz OP ,

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I’ll have to do some more research on Elon then.

4realz ,

This is what makes me contemplate whether or not he is a good investor. I mean, he played it too safe, and got lucky with Apple.
