The y axis is clearly labeled. Stretching the "interesting part" of a graph to fill the maximum space is the best practice.

Kind of weird California doesn’t have Waffle House. And this further proves my point that North Texas tries to hard to BE a little California.

The EV market is projected to grow from 800k/yr in 2022 to 4.8 million EVs in 2030 (US only). Even if the market share halves that’s still 3x 2022 sales. At the moment there is a huge supply shortage for EVs. Not sure how it is in the US but 12-18 months is considered a normal delivery time for a KIA/VW/Mercedes EVs in Europe. The only company able to deliver is Tesla with 2-6 month delivery times. That is due to scale, supply chain efficiency and vertical integration. Then you also need to consider that other manufacturers are selling at cost/loss whilst Tesla has a 30% margin on its cars which is huge in the auto industry.

30 year old American from the west coast and I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a Waffle House.

“Flailing” with Twitter? What flailing? And it’s not a national joke… where do you get that?

Tesla is doing absolutely fine when it comes to sales.

No indication of one, as far as I can tell.

Which is often enough to be super annoying!

We had it in the 1970s when Jack in the Box expanded franchising eastward.

Didn't last.

Starting from the Twitter announcement on April 14 - the Nasdaq is down 16%. Tesla is down 51% for the same period. I'm going to have to boo your comment like when 18,000 people booed that dork hanging out with Chappelle the other night.

More likely now, probably.

Yeah, dude. You really oughta get off reddit more.

There were only two strikes?!

What is 0/0? Then I can answer

I mean he’s gutted the solar side. He just needed investors to bail out his tanking company

I mean yes if the nas fell 80% farther than it actually did.

Interesting maps... and Interesting usage of "geospacial distribution" to mean maps.

Nah Tesla is down 52% ytd nas is down 29%

Am I wrong or does the net profit and tax not add up to the EBIT?

In that case great job on including Waffle House!

Rally's and Checker's has a Carl's Jr / Hardee's deal going on.

I first thought "Oh, just another population map", but then realised these maps illustrate well that many chains are quite regional.

In my part of Australia, Subway and McDonalds are ubiquitous. Haven't seen any of the others except Carl's Jr just turned up last year.

I was thinking of this. I hope to resurrect my cartogram algorithm early next year, so you could plot points and see the prevalence of certain places relative to population. But then you'd have the opposite problem - sparsely inhabited areas will typically have more establishments per population than a metro area.

The east coast is truly a wall of Subways from end to end.

We appreciate it
