    The benefits of working for a company that isn't publicly traded is extremely undervalued.

    I was only joking

      @aqua-letifer Interesting. I do not know much about that at all.

        https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/tesla-advertising-campaign/

        Tesla will begin advertising for the first time ever.

        Following a shareholders meeting earlier this year, Musk announced that Tesla would launch an ad campaign for the first time in the company’s 20-year history.

        Until its latest push, Tesla has spent just a fraction of what other major car manufacturers have spent on advertising. Tesla only spent $151,947 on advertising in the United States in 2022, compared to $370 million spent by Ford, $1.1 billion spent by Toyota, and General Motors spending $1.35 billion across its brands.

          They can advertise all they want. I will probably never see an ad. I will never buy a Tesla because they are fugly, unreliable, lack the proper range, and take too long to charge.

          But mostly because they are fugly.

            I’m glad other people are buying EVs. They’ll get the kinks worked out. I’ll consider buying one when they fixed the stuff that Mark is talking about.

            I just bought an unnecessarily huge ICE vehicle this week.

                  Haha - I got a BMW X7. I loved my minivan, but the thing held its value too well. It's almost 3 years old but I got more for it than I spent on it new.

                  Honestly - I felt like I just wanted to cash in on that more than anything.

                  I don't use the car for commutes, so its mostly just a road trip car + errands. Much funner driving this thing in the hills of the pacific northwest vs. the van.

                  Plus we're 99% we're stopping at 3 kids - so the big bench row works just fine for us.

                    Maybe you want to take the grandparents along for certain events (kids' games/performances/award ceremonies/graduations, etc). Maybe want to haul the kids whole debate team or soccer team or scout troop?

                      Well that was the exact justification for getting a 3 row SUV vs 2 row. We don't need the seats day to day and keep them down, but can add some people in a pinch (we do transport grandparents pretty often).

                        In a few years, you'll love that third row,
