Please, please read my posts. This is the third time you haven’t. I was discussing commercial/industrial electricity rates, which are much, much lower than residential rates.

Same car =/ same setup and engineers. Max’s car will be much quicker. Albon could be the second coming of Ayrton Senna and would struggle to match Max with the current team setup.
When I had a dealership, we charged zero fees. The only fees our customers paid were title, tag, and tax, plus direct pass-through costs from TitleTec, our electronic document processor (required in GA). Total fees were around $45-50, and that included a 45 day temp tag.
Well, aside from the fact that you ignored my entire post to (incorrectly) nitpick one point:
Actually, Netflix and Amazon reported positive net income/net cash flows for most years of their existence, whereas Tesla has reported net loss for every year. Tesla’s average quarterly losses are much larger than any of Amazon’s or Netflix’s absolute worst quarters.
This. Unless you bought a McLaren F1 or an old V12 Ferrari back when they were <$10k, cars are an exceedingly poor long-term investment vehicle.
Assuming it has the same braking performance as the GT350R, 0-100 will be in around 6.5 to 6.6 seconds. Pretty impressive.
Your original post that I was replying to (thanks Kinja) was commenting about how expensive providing Superchargers for free would be for Tesla, and you used your personal residential rates as evidence of why it would be so expensive. My point was that it’s not all that expensive for Tesla to offer it, as they pay a…
I’m not talking about the highest/peak hour usage tiers of residential rates. Read what I wrote.
Nowhere in the US has commercial-supply electricity rates that high. Even Puerto Rico (where the fuel has to be shipped in by sea and their grid is falling apart) has commercial rates that are below 36 cents per kWh.
Balloon loan. It’s a loan with a residual payment (called a balloon payment) at the end. At the end of the loan, you can either surrender the car or pay the balloon payment.
It’s still overpriced for the year and mileage. Should be high $50s.
Eh, he’s mainly been faster than inferior talent.
Reminder - Mark Webber was puking in his helmet / over team radio while running P2 in the 2007 Japanese GP (in much, much worse weather conditions) before being crashed out by Sebastian Vettel. And he didn’t whine a single time about being sick that weekend.
All this means is that Jean Todt went to Michael’s house and sat in a room with him while the race was on. We don’t know if Michael was even cognizant of what was going on/who was in the room with him.
This. Wife and I are comfortably over $200k in combined income and live in a fairly low cost area. $35-40k is the most I can realistically spend on a car without feeling like it’s a bit of a waste. We’re both around 30, so kids are on the way somewhat soon. Also, our house is in fine shape and we have a good bit of…
Good info, thanks. Wasn’t sure when the transition from pre-production to series production began.
Not a first year car. First year 2016, this is a 2018. Which makes the problems all the more concerning.
“Engine management” has nothing to do with oil consumption, so that’s extremely puzzling.
