I really want to go to electric, but we do a 5K mile road trip twice a year, and want to do a few more. half of that trip has very limited electric infrastructure right now. I'm thinking I might just build an electric buggy for a demo/experiment.
Great thing about PHEVs like the Volt is that I get about 40-50 of nothing but battery, enough for most city things, but after that it turns into a Prius with battery/gas combo and great mileage. We've driven that thing all over without range anxiety: up to Port Townsend, down to Ventura, over to the Mojave. Never a problem.
I lurve my Chevy Volt. They stopped making them, since Chevy didn't push them out like they should've. But the replacement Bolt EUV is a good one, too.

And wholly crap - Buick/Chevrolet ahead of Mitsubishi/Toyota. And what happened to Honda/Acura? I haven't been new car shopping in a bit, but wow.

Elon - who didn't create Tesla but under his watch it went from the highest rating ever on Consumer Reports to a mediocre, undependable, expensive car now- has now done the same product degradation after acquiring Twitter - which he also didn't create - and he pretty quickly turned it into MySpace. As the song says: King Midas in reverse.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
But he's a genius, 4D chess and whatnot.

No one said Google+ was a flop one week in. Your just posting hopium and anything else you can throw at the wall to try and bolster your guy. The numbers are telling.
https://www.websiteplanet.com/news/twitter-threads-research/ has some interesting numbers. Basically brands are doing much better on threads than twitter. Being that's where the money is and advertising dollars are pretty fungible, and twitter is already at a 50% drop in advertising revenue (and is now using some of that advertising revenue to buy users), I'd say even it if it's temporary threads is hurting twitter at least as much as elon is.
Oh and 'blue check' is now becoming a derogatory term. You call it censorship, other people call it punching nazis. No one says 'Poh Tah Tow'.

So many things are immediately wrong with Threads. Censorship being but one on a lengthy list.
Like all heavily-hyped products, time will tell.

Major brands seem to be getting significantly better engagement on threads as well. It remains to be seen how the longer term trend will play out, but "Threads is crashing" seems pretty hyperbolic given that we are one week in and it's the fastest growing platform ever.
Because having a metric of "fastest growing platform ever" worked out really well for Google+ too!
If only the guy who spent $44 Billion to actually own it felt the same way...
Weâre still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load. Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else.

I know where I'd be investing if Twitter was a public company.

"From what some large creators are sharing on Twitter, these payouts are substantial. Writer Brian Krassenstein, who has about 750,000 followers, claims that Twitter paid him $24,305."
If your impression of Twitter is that's it's a unthrottled 'letters to the editor' thing, you're missing out.
Filtering on Twitter is simple. Following people, institutions and topics that one is interested in is easy. So is blocking.
Curating your feed on Twitter is easy, and doable. More so with a paid account. Curating vastly improves the signal to noise ratio.

No, it's because I've been on the site for a very very long time.
It is, by definition, unthrottled with very few exceptions. It contains useful as well as reprehensible posts.
I've got no idea why it needs promoting at this point, unless someone's income is tied to its success. Basically, it's Mos Eisley.

Twitter is the reason newspapers used to have editors that filtered what made it to the Letters section.

There are discussions on Twitter you won't see in your national media or most social media sites. If it's staying informed on current social or political topics, Twitter has no equal.
The topics of transgenderism, sex change surgery for minors, and drag queens performing before children are just some of the issues in the last year or so. Unlike many other platforms, on Twitter, viewpoints from all perspectives are heard, and not censored or blocked.
This morning's example - "Children's TV in the Netherlands: Naked adults promoting transgenderism and sex change surgery as "euphoria." " I won't link it. If you are curious, merely search that sentence in Twitter.
