Comment Stock Options (Score 1) 162

CEOs are paid in stock options. Stock options are worth more if the stock price goes up. Ford stock price is worth 1/10th that of Tesla or lower. Ford CEO is struggling to get his company's stock to rise up that's why you have been seeing all these publicity articles for the last few months trying to push the stock up.

But what Ford CEO is missing is the maniac reality distortion field (trademark Steve Jobs) of Elon Musk and his acolytes that prop up the pump and dump valuation on Tesla.

Comment iPad Shopping Cart on wheels (Score 0) 257

These EVs are just iPads on wheels. the reason why companies are flocking to them is not the technology or environmental concerns, it is the unlimited tracking data they can collect on you and resell for huge amounts of profit to data brokers who can then resell advertisements to you.

They will have microphones all over listening to your every conversation and tuning the ad on the tablet to tell you that there is a Best Buy nearby selling that USB cable you need to charge your phone right now for $50 that you should buy with the stored credit card on file. Who knows they may even buy it for you and drive you there without permission once self-driving arrives.

. This is why I won't buy a piece of hardware that totally relies on an app for its UI - I assume that the app is going to be discontinued. I only buy appliances that have an on-device hardware UI.

that's a really good comment about appliances with app UI. that's why i am not buying an iPad on wheels (Tesla).. it is designed to be a shopping cart so that you can shop from within the car.. and they can track you everywhere.. Elon will sell the data to his friend Peter at Palantir...
