I've said before that the supercharger network is their most important long term asset. They opened up their plug standard, other manufacturers are jumping on board, and they have the largest network that supports all those new EVs.
Only problem is that it's boring, and Elon doesn't like boring. So now here we are.
That can't be right. He does have a boring company.
But that's cool because the company name is a elementary school level word play, exactly the kind Musk likes. Also the company is about digging holes and everyone in kindergarten knows how cool digging is.
You can never forget that we're dealing with a person whose emotional aptitude is the equivalent of a child.
I thought the Boring Company was more about pretending to want to dig holes to stifle public transit in order to bolster EV sales... Am I mistaken?
Self fulfilling prophecy that the company seems to have stopped doing stuff. He found it boring and it is failing.
Their rare "completed" projects are utter embarrassments.
It was attached to the hyperloop, right? Which itself doesn't seem to be anything more than a ploy to delay/kill California high speed rail.
It succeeded exactly as much as it dared to hope. California rail does seem to be over the hump at this point, but it took an extra decade to get there.
