Whose right and whose wrong?

Instead of debating this, those with the money and power are creating their own virtual town halls to facilitate the kind of conversations THEY want to have.

Musk has Twitter/X, Zuckerberg has Threads and Dorsey has Bluesky.

Driving us further into a siloed world.

However, despite the noise, we are yet to see the actual (p)roduct. This will be the true test. Keen to also see the (p)ricing strategy. Methinks they’ll price it toward the higher end of the luxury vehicle market. One thing is true though, they are clear on who their new target market is.

Few caveats I agree with though:
- Ritson thinks they’ve done too much too soon and have veered too far away from their British village of origin.
- Sutherland says they suffer from a Church of England problem. Many love it but very few buy it. (3/?)

My sense is that they’re doubling down on EV and dumping the combustion engine.

Stylistically, the new logo wordmark is consonant with their Chinese EV counterparts, who are currently market leaders. (2/?)
