Tesla, Inc.

They just think their car being electric gives them the equivalent of a handicap placard for a nicer spot.

There's also no towing them since they obeyed the sign and their car is electric, and trust me, it's always a Tesla doing this.

One morning, I was driving up to a set of charger ports because the app on my phone said that one was free.

While waiting at the nearby red light, I could see the spot was just taken and the driver was walking away.

This guy wasn't even charging his Tesla, and I wouldn't be able to charge it even if I wanted to.

I had no actual recourse to get the guy ticketed or towed like I could with a gas-powered car.

So I waited about twenty minutes, then I called the yoga studio he had walked into, which was right around the point when I figured his session had safely been going on for a while.

I said to the woman picking up, "Hey, there's a person in your class that drives a black Tesla.

There is a lot of capital that has to be raised for this kind of business.

I think one interesting thing there is that people don't often realize, if you look at how much money certain companies in software have raised like Uber, Airbnb and others, it's relatively on par with companies like SpaceX or Tesla or other deep tech companies in terms of how much venture was raised.

And so at scale, it's a comparable amount of money, but I think the thing is just that there's more ways to fail in a deep tech startup than there are in a software company.

My last company was a software company.

I don't know.

I drive a Tesla.

Yeah, I drive petrol.

you're a car guy aren't you I don't deal with

It's not going to change it for anyone.

Best-selling electric cars, the Tesla Y and the C-Lion 7 are both medium-sized SUVs.

They're both under $75,000.

You get an awful lot of car for your money.

But get a battery test done.

Now, Polestar do this if you're buying a secondhand one.

Tesla have an app that does this.

And there are now third-party services, so like a pre-purchase inspection, that they can come and do a battery test.

He finds ways to promote his businesses on shoestring budgets just like Elon Musk does.

Tesla doesn't run any ads.

Most valuable car company in the world.

I mean, it's insane.

So I think that's what makes him really special.

But the dude is one of the best marketers on Vine.

He finds ways to promote his businesses on shoe-sharing budgets, just like Elon Musk does, right? Tesla doesn't run any ads.

Most valuable car company in the world.

You know, why is everybody operating in Texas? Because the environment's a little bit easier.

But if you look at some of the later generation, most modern generation of Tesla's technology and indeed a couple of other companies, it's becoming very, very close to being able to do that.

And when

I'm 80, I expect to have a self-driving car to drive to the supermarket.

But he can do well while doing good.

There's also an economic incentive in it for Tesla and his people who are working on the problem.

So Oracle got a mission.

Oracle got a chance to deploy the most advanced technology.

They're fleeing.

Tesla's leaving.

In-N-Out's leaving.

Walmart's leaving.

You're the most valuable asset in the company.

But when everything's running like a well-oiled Tesla, you're a line item, a cost center on a spreadsheet.

You've done the work.

You've built the career.
