There are plenty of pools that are heated by data centers. The only difference here is that the computers are mining bitcoin.

$35k has to be a scam. Even if that almost certainly made up figure includes loss of income, there’s no way that car would have generated like $30k in the time it would take to replace the windows.

I sincerely hope you told whomever was responsible for that invoice to eat a bag of dicks. 

Yoooo, Turo is hell. I have rented though them without any issues for a long time. Super pleasant until there was the one time where something went wrong. Turo 100% protects the hosts of the vehicles and loves damage claims because they stick 20% on top. Its free money to them and the more the hosts scam the more they…

35K for glass is a scam.  Nowhere does it mention what kind of car it is.

There are ~40M commercial airline flights a year in the US alone, many of which have an off-duty pilot on the jumpseat. Banning off-duty pilots from the cockpit in reaction to this incident would seem to be a BIT of an overreaction - he could have just waiting until he was ON-duty afterall. I could see making a rule…

“Is you taking video of yourself committing 38 crimes?”

While you are correct, it’s still real dumb of her.

You are aware that humans programmed the computer, right?

Who is writing the program? Humans. Sounds like they’ve eliminated nothing and made it so a single human mistake can impact the entire system as opposed to a single car. 

A coworker of mine bought a Tesla. Took another coworker for a test drive (as a passenger). When they got back, I asked, “How did you like it?”

Computers are pretty stupid, especially when it comes to automated driving. I’ll take flawed humans every day of the week.

Common denominator? humans. 

Sliding doors ala on a minivan are the best doors, esp when you have kids

They’re stupid on a supercar too. Too heavy and add nothing of value.

This is why I automatically dismiss comments defending Tesla. Same reason I dismiss comments about Scientology. The crazies be crazy.

I guess direct sales really are better.

I’m wagering that a large part of it is simply scalability. I doubt they actually lose $33k every time they sell a truck. The $33k number likely just comes from their revenue minus expenditures divided by number of sales. Meaning, if they sold one additional truck, their expenditure would increase by $80k (or whatever…

Cutting 40 grand from production seems like an nearly insurmountable challenge. If you didn’t engineer in profitability from the start of a product its going to be REALLY hard to find it later.  I have no doubt there is still some low hanging fruit, but that is a lot of needed fruit and not all of it is going to be…

Does the Cybertruck count as something you can buy right now?
