RE: CEO Publicly Bashed Competition - DEFAMATION!Juggy, don't force me to defend those clowns!
My comments follow the >>>
******************************************
He calls them 'insane'. He basically says their products are unsafe. Read the Indian article that we have been referring to lately. This is defamation in it's purest sense - a PUBLISHED article!!!! Not only is he personally liable, but as he was doing it in his executive capacity, he has exposed the company to liability, as well!!!
>>>>Speaking of liability, I think you push the envolope when it comes to that. Point out that the Tesla at least is marketing their product and presumably selling it!
Did he screw up? Amazingly, Sankar's batteries were recalled, causing smoke and fire risks in hospitals. Those hospitals were air conditioned and stationary. And he has the nerve to declare that the competition is unsafe?!?! Tesla has NEVER had an incident, while Sankar has had dangerous failures resulting in published SMOKE and FIRE risks - what a hypocrite!!!
>>> Well that was just a few batteries unlike the millions from Sony. That did not cause the SP to collapse. Incompetent sales, marketing and IR did that.
Let us not forget that his own Maya-100 caught fire at the Tour de Sol - I think it was the one that he purchased..er..uh..::cough cough:: was awarded some consolation prize - something like the 'best rear view mirror' trophy or a plaque for 'best floor mats'.
>>> Experimental car, what do you expect....old news.
I disagreew with onlygame - I think we have seen enough public evidence of questionable integrity that warrants a thorough forensic audit. This CEO of a PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY bashes Western Materialism! ABSURD! While he sucks down a 4-figure monthly car allowance while 'CLAIMING' to only drive electric cars!!!
>>> Bad salesmanship, IR, management etc. certainly raises questions on salaries for upper management agreed. Personally, I don't question his integrity but certainly business intelligence.
His little 'I don't drive electric cars' routine might also be of some trouble when he's milking shareholders for such a huge car allowance every month! HEY - I HAVE AN IDEA! LET'S CHECK HIS ITEMIZED EXPENSE REPORTS FOR ANY RECEIPTS FROM GAS STATIONS!!!!! OR EVEN RENTAL CARS, AFTER ALL, HE SAYS PUTTING GAS IN A CAR IS SO FOREIGN TO HIM, HE LET HIS DAUGHTER'S CAR RUN OUT OF GAS! SO I GUESS HE MUST BE ORDERING LIMO SERVICE WHEREVER HE TRAVELS, OR SIMPLY TOSSING SHAREHOLDER MONEY AWAY AND SIMPLY PAYING FOR A FULL TANK OF FUEL WHETHER HE USES IT OR NOT!!! WOW - I GUESS IT'S EASY TO LAUGH AT OUR MATERIALISTIC WAYS WHEN YOU PEE AWAY MONEY LIKE YOU DON'T CARE!!!
>>>It would be interesting but this is peanuts. If I recall, he stated that he DID drive an electric car (Tesla?).
