Thread regarding Shell Oil layoffs

Seeing Teslas Everywhere!!!

Am i the only one seeing Teslas everywhere? EV space is still small 2% of new car sales in the USA. How will shell fare? This may be decades away but will obvioualy impact upstream, midstream and downstream parts of the biisnness.

Forget rural America, in India you can buy a brand new Maruthi car for ~$4000.00. All the people making their way out of poverty and entering the modern world ain’t spend $40,000.00 on a Model 3.

If the argument is that with scale, they will all be cheaper... I’m not convinced the Li shortage we are starting to see would allow that.

Sugarland/ Austin / UK streets aren’t a good snapshot of reality as Shell management makes it out to be.

Well I live in low income rural America and haven't seen a Tesla yet. I just see them when I go to wealthy urban areas.

“ Considering I will be happily retired or dead in the next few decades I could give a rats @$$ about how Shell will fare. I am more concerned about the next big reorg that will inevitably happen in a couple of years and how fast I can find another job before it goes down.”

Spoken like a true cynic. This pretty much sums up why the human race is doomed.

Two dead in a Tesla accident due to a technical malfunction yet to be determined.

How inconvenient for this to happen in a very conservative area of the U.S. where oil has been a key piece of the economy for 100 years.

The car industry is not ready for cars without drivers. Your over your skis.
