My name is Jeff. I am going to buy a lemonade stand. This lemonade stand costs me $100. But for every $80 I spend on labour/ingredients expenses, I make $100. My first year, I only ran the one stand. I spend $100 on the stand and $80 on expenses. So I ended up -$80. Instead […]

Sentry Mode 2.0 (or 3.0?)
On Aug 10 2018, I originally wrote about a Tesla intrusion detection system. It wasn’t spot on, but it basically foresaw Tesla using cameras to detect intrusion. As of a few weeks ago Sentry Mode has been updated to stay on and allow you to input more settings such as the ability to configure when […]
Why does Tesla needs advertising? To get the fucking media to lay off.
If you are a media source, how are you funded? Advertisers. If Tesla doesn’t feel obliged to provide those media companies money, then why should they show loyalty to Tesla?

Maxwell Technologies Acquisition
This is a great video to watch: Maxwell Could Be Worth BILLIONS To Tesla The other companies do not have value for Maxwell. Tesla acquiring it without competition means that for other companies, this acquisition would have been a liability for the near-term or even long-term. It sets a precedence. Tesla might be too far […]
