So 70% of reservation holders are tire kickers giving the manufacturer a free loan? How do you define cult/fanboi behavior?

A model 3 isn’t useful for most Americans. Your point?

All well and good, but can they sustain that level of service?

GM didn’t pay it back. The government (i.e. the taxpayer) sold their share of GM at a loss.

1: why? These “Japanese built cars” are mostly all manufactured here stateside.

Couple hundred million at most. Hard to tell exactly with the way they report. Still not near enough to make a profit. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.teslarati.com/tesla-gigafactory-1-tops-1-3-billion-construction-costs/amp/

R&D last quarter was 1.4B. Total loss was 1.9B. Shutting down R&D doesn’t cover losses. https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/tsla/financials?query=income-statement

He deserved to win them for The Devil’s Backbone or Pan’s Labyrinth. Giving him an award for a recycled amalgamation of a character of his own creation from Hellboy, John Coffey from Green Mile, and any romantic comedy from the last 30 years is just a make up call.

What about it?

Wow. You are pretty ignorant on the while Korean peninsula thing huh?

Saving this for when someone claims that people don’t use SUVs/trucks for off-road use.

Maybe frivolous was the wrong term. How about wrought with bureaucratic inefficiencies?

Counterpoint: In the U.S., we value children having a parent at home. Therefore, we keep taxes low by limiting frivolous socialists programs, allowing cost of living to be low enough that with a middle class income only one parent has to work.

I was thinking along the same lines. Something like this:

You probably shouldn’t comment on something about which you are so clearly ignorant.

That’s awesome. I want your 5 year old to shame my 5 year old into some more independence. Also, I like the Yukon cause GM shoves a giant motor in it (assuming it’s not an older generation that has the offset steering wheel, drives me nuts). However, minivans, while grotesque, serve the job of people mover perfectly.

You let your 5 year old buckle in a 2 year old and 1 year old and don’t check it? I check my 5 year old’s school work and that just mostly involves copying letters and circling sight words.
