The long and skinny is that if they expect recurring payments, then they need to provide recurring value. To turn on a feature isn’t recurring value. They need to be offering something that justifies a recurring fee. A service. Sat radio/nav/weather or some kind of concierge service or something like a cloud service.…

Zero. I want to buy something once and then own it.

NONE

I have literally done this exact thing, as a stupid 20-year old backpacker - left our three passports under the pillow in our room and travelled across the island to port, where I realized. Took a taxi with Corfu’s Juan Manuel Fangio at the wheel, promised him double the pay if we made it back in time. He powerslid…

Is there like a tally somewhere of how many times Elon has been caught talking out of his ass?

The first 4 comments on the list are GM vehicles, which makes me sad being a GM guy.

Not designing around the gas in North America, is a design issue.

The mitzu 3.0 v-6 in my old 89 dodge minivan burned almost as much oil as gas. 

I am fine with being positive about your own company or even the rise of EV’s, I would expect that from him. But this line, “Like, imagine buying a Chevy Suburban in 2030. Like, what are you going to do with that, right? In 10 years? Yeah, like gas stations will be slowly disappearing. It’s just weird.” is where it…

“Gonna poison myself and my family to own the libs”

I don’t think he is necessarily wrong about what things will be like in 2030 in some states and countries. The shift to EVs becoming the standard, and ICE vehicles becoming a small, enthusiast niche, seems somewhat inevitable. However, there is a long way to go before we get to that reality, right now EVs are just…

sometimes we push back even against our own best interests too. funny how it works.

Sure sounds like confirmation bias or becoming a focus group of one to me. ICE powered cars will continue to be a thing for a quite some time.

He got the degree and segued into automotive journalism, that’s an extremely logical career path ya fuckin dweeb

Can't attack his argument so you attack his looks. Classic Elon fan.

Not that you really need any sort of expertise or even basic knowledge of car design, or what a car even is, to recognise what a piece of garbage this is.

This is utter nonsense. Stainless steel gets stamped all the time.

Is copying the aesthetic and materials of the DeLorean innovative? 

Cybertruck was always a stock pump and nothing more. Original specs and prices have been removed from Tesla’s website. This truck was supposed to be feasible based on the 4680 battery, which (not surprisingly) also turned out to be a stock pump. 4680 is nothing more than a “C” sized battery vs. an “AA” battery. No…

Jesus what the fuck is wrong with people and passing. I was driving to southern Utah last year and long lonely desert highway, caught up to a car doing 60 in a 70 zone, as soon as we got to a passing zone he speeds up to 80, then after that back to 60. So finally I get past him and then he tailgates me for miles. Dude…
