Tesla missed market estimates for third-quarter deliveries on Monday as planned upgrades at its factories to roll out a newer version of the Model 3 mass-market sedan forced production halts.
  • Tesla reported a decrease in total deliveries for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter, delivering 435,059 vehicles.
  • Despite the decline in deliveries, Tesla achieved a production of 430,488 vehicles, highlighting its manufacturing capabilities.
  • The decrease in deliveries and production was anticipated due to summer shutdowns for factory upgrades and price reductions on inventory vehicles and existing models.

      If you’re going to cite antisemitism, please tell me you don’t own any of these…

      Volkswagen was literally started by the Third Reich and, along with Auto Union (then-parent of Audi), BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, utilized slave labor during WWII.

      Henry Ford received the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Third Reich, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle.

      While we’re at it, make sure you don’t have anything from the Associated Press (censored for and collaborated with the Third Reich), Chase (sold war bonds for the Third Reich), Hugo Boss (slave labor and Propaganda materials), IBM (provided information processing for extermination of Jews) or Agfa / BASF / Bayer (came from IG Farben, makers of Zyklon B used to exterminate Jews in gas chambers).

      Do I use any of the above? Yes. My work van was assembled by Ford Otosan of Turkey. I have an upcoming trip insured by Allianz (provided insurance for concentration camp facilities and workers). I’m not the one objecting on the grounds of antisemitism, though.

      I’ve never seen evidence of Elon Musk being an antisemite, but for the sake of discussion, let’s say it’s true. How many Jews have he or his enterprises exterminated?

      Oh, and crush Hamas, people who properly exterminate Jews.
