The Cybertruck is going to be a business school case study for the next 100 years.

Well. This seems like a much better value than the top trims of the cybershit, F150 lightning and Rivian R1T...

That is one nice thing about owning a car in Austria: We have the option of exchangeable plates. You can register up to three vehicles on one set of plates, and you only pay tax and insurance for the one with the most hp. The downside is that you cannot curbside-park a car without plates, so you need a garage or…

The entire Trump Presidency is like Poe’s Law made flesh.

At least in my experience, their algorithms seem to at least partially account for this. Like if Car A would be $500 to insure as my only car and car B would be $600 to insure as my only car, if you decide to buy and insure both and only have one driver on the policy the rate is probably not going to be $1,100

“In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump. As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on…

Like appearing on US stamps, nothing should be named after you until you’re six feet under.

You noticed that little business model trick.  All of your cars have separate insurance costs but you can only drive one at a time, which brings up the question of why you’re paying for something that’s not being used.  

Driving on the road with other people.

I mean the land owners have an easy position. If I am locked in at X price for my land and it wasnt what I asked then I am not selling. Then it doesnt fucking matter.

I don’t even see how price fixing land might work. If gas companies collude to fix prices on their product, then that affects everyone who buys gas. But an association of landowners who resent some outside entity trying to buy up all their property deciding to not let them do it, or at the very least bleed them…

It’s like finding out that a vending machine actually has a poor person locked inside it that is forced to take money and send out the right drink. Incredibly dystopian.

I expected theft, or the system was faulty. The reality was way way worse. Huh.

The Amazon Go by me charges like double the amount of a 711 nearby. I didn’t even use the service there as the mark up for it’s convenience was way to high. Amazon has been trying to corner every market by outselling them at a loss and then jack up the prices for everything 7 folds to make a huge profit back while…

I suspect the vehicles were bought because “everyone else” had them and maybe a little bit of the dreaded “you got something nice and new so I do too” marriage dynamic.

It was a huge waste. If they weren’t beholden to his insane design choices, they could have had a more conventional truck design out and selling at least 2 years sooner, and it would be selling so much better. So much so that Rivian probably wouldn’t have stood a chance.

“Our fire extinguishing ball is distinct from traditional fire extinguishers”

These guys use Occam’s dull butter knife instead of razor to figure things out with. If there’s a 0.01% chance something caused an event they decide everything is that sliver not the 99.99% chance of reality known as “shit happens” when fallible humans or our creations are involved in any way.

I wish I was shameless enough to con rubes like this. Damn my grandma for installing me with a rudimentary sense of self respect and keeping me poor at the same time.
