I do realize. I also realize things like weight of the train, cost of the battery packs, the fact those packs will wear and need to be replaced faster than anything else in the system, and much more.

Bankruptcy (chapter 11) doesn't mean the company goes out of business, or that the share price goes to zero. It means they renegotiate debts, after presenting a plan describing how they'll be able to pay those renegotiated debts. If those debts can not be renegotiated, the company can not present a plan that offers paying them off, or the court rejects any part of the plan, then the company's assets may be liquidated to pay any outstanding debts.
Being bought out would likely come before any of this, which again means the stock wouldn't be worthless.
I sold the rest of my shares when the robotaxi was announced
Which time? Because that's been announced multiple times a year since 2014.
He absolutely was. Early on, there was literally nothing Elon could say or do that would make Fred question Elon's integrity or genius. The change in Elon's relationship with Fred came when Fred finally actually owned a Tesla vehicle and realized it was a piece of shit. He had the audacity to ask Elon questions about quality problems people were reporting and Fred finally believed, on open Twitter, which got Elon to block Fred temporarily at least. What happened next in the community is the most predictable thing ever, as the True Believers turned on Fred and accused him of everything under the sun.
I guess if by a kernel of truth you mean an existing train was used on an existing track, then you could almost make it make sense? But since all of this existed before, it's just a lie.
I'll also point out that anybody introducing battery electric trains instead of just electrifying the remaining parts of rail is making an astoundingly bad choice, but that's almost certainly Germany and not Tesla.
You and I both know someone somewhere was that stupid before Musk. He isn't even original in what an idiot he is. 😆
It's also just an outright lie. But, I guess that doesn't matter anymore.
This doesn't change anything for starlink, because there's almost no Brazillian users of starlink. Brazil hasn't historically cared what foreign business says or does, and they're much less likely to care about an Elon boondoggle like starlink.
Careful you don't cut yourself on all that edge
Yet the desperation to be victims is as high as ever. This article isn't believable at all, the cameras on the cars are useless, they odds of capturing a crime are near zero. But everyone here just believes it out of hand.
Hilarious stuff.
Interesting that they're licensing BYD's blades, I'd be very curious to see how those hold up against heavy use and warranty claims. It also feels like odd timing for BW to be announcing packs for commercial BEVs, given the fact basically every manufacturer has moved away from the ODM model and instead turned to either OEM or fully in-house manufactured packs. The cells are the parts that vehicle manufacturers need to source, and any of them that have tried to consume externally designed generic packs have had issues with packaging in their vehicles.
The DCFC makes sense as a public charger, which they mention in their press release, and as a fleet DCFC. But unless they're doing something very unique or partnering with fleet operators, it's hard to see what this gains them.
They could have just illegally cut down the trees like they illegally used too much water, or any of the other things they did against their agreement with the government.
