#JohnNaughton asks, in The #Guardian, if #Tesla is doing to the car industry what #Apple did to #Nokia. There are several errors in the article (the Tesla Roadster was based on a #Lotus #Elise, not Elite, and the #Toyota #bZ4x is *not* cheaper than a Tesla. Which is precisely the problem traditional car manufacturers are facing. They can’t build #EVs cheap enough. Even worse, some (like #Ford and @VWGroup) are actually cutting back investment!

He's right, it's a far more interesting and nuanced question. In today's #observer by #johnnaughton. #tiktok #socialmedia.

Thanks for pointing to this article by John Naughton. Love the quote, and enjoyed his article. He gets it.

Do you know his Mastodon account? He doesn't advertise it, so he probably wants to be left alone?

Either way, my thanks to #JohnNaughton for his article. His blog is worth visiting too:

Yes, I thought that odd too. A good article, generally, but I found your post by searching for #JohnNaughton, so clearly we both had a similar reaction. John, if you're out there, could you give us a heads-up?
