actually ha ha I do have a system I created for predicting major
league baseball games, man it's been 10 years since I posted that,
I'll have to dig it up, was based on doing TA on the teams by
converting their win losses into a line chart with indicators like
MACD etc, you would see patterns develop like symmetry triangles,
bull flags, positive or negative divergence, so for example if you
saw a team's win/loss ratio breaking out of a triangle, odds were
that team would go on a wining streak. The reason why
baseball worked well was because there's so many damn games, thus
you had enough data points to plot, unlike football
Despite
being chronically late to deliver his cars, Musk has attracted a
fanatical base of owners: mainly rich, green-minded clients who
wish to make a statement, whether politically, aesthetically, or
both. It’s a decidedly limited group. Last year, Tesla sold about
51,000 cars. Musk hopes to deliver another 93,000 vehicles this
year, which, while an impressive jump, isn’t quite there if you’re
thinking like a big carmaker: It would equal a mere 4% of the
approximately 1.9 million cars sold in 2015 by both BMW and
Mercedes, elegant brands that Musk regards as his true competition.
It is not an industry, and Musk knows it

...is more about cache and image than someone caring about the
environment or even saving on gas. So are most electrics, in fact.
Toyota tried to sell the same Prius without the Prius logo
prominently displayed and it was a dud. These are badges that the
upper class, the only ones who can afford them, can drive to
display their concern. Real or faux.

Likely some will get their cars later than the originally
projected date, but I don't think many will be asking for their
deposit back. $35,000 is more than I've spent on a car (I tend to
buy used and make them last), but it's no longer just for the super
rich.
actually ha ha I do
Tesla3: 135,000 dummies give Elon a free gift, with absolutely no promise of delivery date.

Don't mean to start a car discussion...

...but yeah, today's good used cars (like a Scion) could last 200K miles with care.
But even the cool cars that I've owned, I bought used.
