Lead used bad chemistry and no/poor cooling.

The first gen i3 used crumnny tech too.

I can't speak to the early GM products.

But for the most part effort was put into good temperature management (Tesla) and more robust battery chemistry (pretty much anything in the last 10ish years).

The Leaf was made super budget and it killed the batteries.

Tie it to GDP and use it to make sure no companies get too big to fail so we don't need to socialize the risk. It'll also assure that there's competition.

I think we're both somewhat sarcastic, but there is a certain beauty to using it as a way to foster competition and reduce the need for bail outs.

Is Twitter operating just as well?

The gutted moderation lead to a lot less advertisers bidding on views.

The unreliability of the service during the transition to being so far reduced dramatically reduced the number of daily users.

The company isn't public, so we don't know if it's making more/losing less money than it was. But we can be pretty certain that the operations are not the same (reduced users less money per user).
