suspect that is a typical Express story, nothing really in it, nothing would be different in the UK, by the stories own admission part of the delay is Tesla themselves....

so not sure why it is newsworthy!

Something we can agree on. I assume what you are saying there is that crass sweeping generalisations about groups of people that are different to you should be avoided as they are personal appraisal...

As for mob mentality, does that cover being wrong and lots of people pointing it out...?

Have a great Sunday.

interesting point. who we are is just a construct. Regardless of if we are or we are not...so being accused of something we are not or being applauded for who we are shouldn't matter.
