    A step in the right direction isn’t good enough when there’s miles to tread.

    So all or nothing? Then you’ll get nothing.

      Good, fuck em. There’s no negotiation here. I don’t care if the entire company goes under. They do nothing for the people supporting them.

        I’m pretty sure he means that there’s no point in trying to please you because you’ll always set a goalpost that can’t be reached, so there’s no point in really considering your opinion.

                What I find funny about this discussion is that the board is denying the reports that they’re even trying to replace him. People want to redeem this company based upon rumors of myths of games of telephone that they might have thought about making a good decision once.

        At this point, it would be tempting to have all their employees quit and start their own EV company, or join another one. It’s not like the people vanish when a company folds.

          No one’s going to fund a new company though. The old car companies have final moved to EVs and will quash newcomers. Funders know this.

            Telo is getting funded.

            Aptera is doing another round of funding (for like the 7th time)

            Slate immediately got funded by Bezos.

            I think the market is pretty clear. People want cheaper, smaller, and more “every day” EVs, rather than the insanity 1.2 second 0-60 dystopian-proof luxury crossovers/trucks.

            The first company to make that happen in their niche is going to make bank.
