If Tesla could do half the things they promised, they would have a trillion dollars market value. Of, that's right, they are worth that much.
That’s not a corporate motto i use to manage a large group of dedicated employees and customers and if any of my team did they i would have to let them go. Employees and customers understand and assist in solving problems. Inclusive - not exclusive is my motto and it has worked for me for over 50 years in all different types of business and by anyones measurement i have been highly successful. I will give Ford allot of credit for not taking government handouts but they have a terrible track record with Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar and now Rivian and until recently they have paid the price for it with the investment community on the stock market. I do hope they are successful in “innovating” but i see it more like “imitating” what’s already been and is being done by others. In the next ten years the EV market will shake out to 4 companies. Ford will be successful if they are number 4 behind Tesla, VW, and GM.
Yes, it is. TheBronco is a perfect example. My dealer has close to 1,000 orders. There allocation is 20-30 month, you can calculate how long it will take to fill all those orders. In the meantime, other dealers will fill all of their orders and have stock units available for sale.
It is easy to pick out something that we like and use it as the shining example, only to find that in another area it is rotting. Corporate culture can be difficult to examine depending on if that are in a growth stage versus a plateau stage. Managing a multi-billion cap company with hundreds of SBU's is quite different than managing a department. Would we even be talking if there were no pandemic?
Our family had one of the first reservations and orders for the ID4 in North America and the process was very transparent up to the point where the vehicle entered the US and made its way to VW’s final vehicle preparation facility, this is where they do final diagnostics and any adjustments or repairs/parts installation etc.
What does make it right mean? The level of hand holding some people require is amazing to me.
The thing about tesla is they actually do a lot of what they promised. They are launching and recovering rockets, which is really hard. At one time I thought Musk was a snake oil salesman surrounded by smart people. He keeps producing though.
No longer true they are profitable in the latest quarter on just selling cars. Anyways that just shows how smart they are and how well they use a financial facility available to run a business. As an example many business use advanced depreciation of assets to show a profit. Common in manufacturing and will be used by Ford as the configure and build plants. Without it i could have never afforded to put 20 new delivery trucks on the road this year and hire many people with great salaries and full benefits. I didn’t take a dime in COVID handouts from the government.
Buddy you can call it what you will, I don’t need any hand holding never have maybe just a little respect after all it’s my money and patience they want.
Yes after how many years in business - the title says it all. Don't try to change the script though by breaking continuity with what has been previously said in this discussion.
And the Far Side comics are very funny.
