I regret that Tesla doesn't make trucks, so i can replace my fleet with Tesla's; I'd buy 120 of them tomorrow if they made one.

While there is certainly a lot of crap out there for business books, especially on sales/marketing and management, there are some core books that are must reads if you want to save 30 years of trial and error.

1. E-myth Revisited (absolute must read for small to midsize business owners) 2. Competitive Strategy 3. Discipline of Market Leaders 4. Good to Great 5. Built to Last

This is a political story about govermental issues and initiates a back and forth discussion between liberal and conservative idealogies.

Definitely NOT a technology topic.

should be flagged.

"homologation" ...thanks for teaching me a new word that nobody would understand if i ever used it.

Nope. No Tesla Stock_ Not an Elon Fanboy_ Not a Trumper

just can't stomache ignorance

Nothing in your post has anything to do with the fundamentals of Tesla's business. You are just echoing the anti-elon propoganda. The anti-Elon movement is a moment in time that will not affect the longterm viability of Tesla's business model.

Like it or not, Tesla as a company is still years ahead of other US competitors and has a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Tesla is not "in bad shape" relative to the competition. IF you are going to talk about auto companies in "bad shape", Tesla doesn't even make the top 10

i refuse read the biased news from CNN or FOX or MSNBC

However, I've read countless Bloomberg articles on Tesla, and the company has significant competitive advantage over every automaker (Including BYD) when it comes to manufacturing and selling EV's in the US and elsewhere.

If you are inclined to drive an EV, or own stock in an EV company, Tesla is still the gold standard.

California farming is a major resource for US food and should be protected as a national security issue. Why haven't previous administrations implemented this apparently simple fix?

If it does i'll be using it

(Don't take what follows as a judgement of your product. i haven't tried it and it may be amazing!)

What you are struggling with is simply a fact of life for any entrepreneur.

Get an idea, work on it, launch and discover if there is a market fit. IF no, move to next idea, start process over. Almost every great business has examples of pivoting from the original product or service and trying other ideas until landing on the one that hits.

You've built a tool. call it a your "prototype". first test case is you. do you like using it? does it truly make your life easier and more productive? IF your answer is meh, then put it aside and move on to other things.

It's depressing to leave an idea for dead. It's your baby and you love it, but it may just not be that idea's time, you may be able to come back to it at a later date with new eyes and find a way. Regardless, the journey of building something is of value to you - you can't help but learn from the experience and apply those lessons to the next endeavor.

Also, I'll state the obvious here... Building a tool for the market and building a company to sell it are two very VERY different things.

The fact that you hit the wall when it came time to take your product to market might be an indicator for you. Maybe your are Woz and you just need to find your Steve.

If this try is a failure, continue to believe in yourself and never give up.

So many successful entrepreneurs are serial failures, until they aren't.

"The Real Anthony Fauci" is absolutely damning.

Fauci has stated that RFK's book is full of lies. If that was true, then why has Fauci not sued RFK for libel?

"Methinks he doth protest too much"

I find it interesting that Michael Bloomberg penned an oped this morning in which he warns against RFK JR's potential influence in govt, using RFK's stance against fluoride in our water as one of his attack points.

Yet here we have WAPO - another bastion of liberal thought media - taking what virtually amounts to an opposing stance to Bloomberg while providing tacit support for RFK.

looks like the billionaire media moguls aren't quite on the same page. They might want to check their jersey color to see if they are still on the same team.

The authors dismissal of govt incompetence and data manipulation as the cause is naive. Human history and US history is absolutely littered with examples of this behavior at all levels and degrees of scale.
