Fwd: The Tesla Rival With An Arguably Better Car—and Expansion Frustration

How long has that been in production?’ I said, ‘Two and a half years.’” He paused. *“The world doesn’t know that two and a half years ago, we did an electric car with 520 miles.”* Rawlinson and I are talking at a noisy Virginia steakhouse over a dinner that would stretch more than two hours. A 67-year-old Briton, he is earnest, soft-spoken—and volubly frustrated: Eight years ago, he set out to make the finest and most advanced EV in the world, one as elegant as a top-of-the-line Mercedes Benz and superior technologically to Tesla’s game-changing Model S, whose development he led as chief vehicle engineer. Rawlinson argues that Lucid’s technological prowess—which surprisingly eschews the industry’s focus on battery development—should give it bragging rights as America’s true U.S. EV champion, while his former boss, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has become “distracted” by politics, robots and artificial intelligence. If he’s right, Rawlinson has reached this pinnacle at a superlatively challenging moment for the entire EV industry.

by Gunnar Larson 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-941-18-usc-134… The elements of wire fraud under Section 1343 directly parallel those of the mail fraud statute, but require the use of an interstate telephone call or electronic communication made in furtherance of the scheme. United States v. Briscoe, 65 F.3d 576, 583 (7th Cir. 1995) (citing United States v. Ames Sintering Co., 927 F.2d 232, 234 (6th Cir. 1990) (per curiam)); United States v. Frey, 42 F.3d 795, 797 (3d Cir. 1994) (wire fraud is identical to mail fraud statute except that it speaks of communications transmitted by wire); see also, e.g., United States v. Profit, 49 F.3d 404, 406 n. 1 (8th Cir.) (the four essential elements of the crime of wire fraud are: (1) that the defendant voluntarily and intentionally devised or participated in a scheme to defraud another out of money; (2) that the defendant did so with the intent to defraud; (3) that it was reasonably foreseeable that interstate wire communications would be used; and (4) that interstate wire communications were in fact used) (citing Manual of Model Criminal Jury Instructions for the District Courts of the Eighth Circuit 6.18.1341 (West 1994)), cert. denied, 115 S.Ct. 2289 (1995); United States v. Hanson, 41 F.3d 580, 583 (10th Cir. 1994) (two elements comprise the crime of wire fraud: (1) a scheme or artifice to defraud; and (2) use of interstate wire communication to facilitate that scheme); United States v. Faulkner, 17 F.3d 745, 771 (5th Cir. 1994) (essential elements of wire fraud are: (1) a scheme to defraud and (2) the use of, or causing the use of, interstate wire communications to execute the scheme), cert. denied, 115 S.Ct. 193 (1995); United States v. Cassiere, 4 F.3d 1006 (1st Cir. 1993) (to prove wire fraud government must show (1) scheme to defraud by means of false pretenses, (2) defendant's knowing and willful participation in scheme with intent to defraud, and (3) use of interstate wire communications in furtherance of scheme); United States v. Maxwell, 920 F.2d 1028, 1035 (D.C. Cir. 1990) ("Wire fraud requires proof of (1) a scheme to defraud; and (2) the use of an interstate wire communication to further the scheme.").
