That doesn’t solve the insurance issue.

Tesla’s market cap peaked at 1.2 trillion dollars, though is slightly lower today at just three quarters of a trillion. SpaceX is another quarter of a trillion. Twitter was allegedly worth 44 billion, though much less today. Elon’s net worth is a quarter of a billion alone.

Just, hypothetically, how much do you think…

...they weren’t profitable...

Yeah the "footprint rule" is unintended consequences writ large. 

I do the same on AA. 

Agreed - 100% this is about monetization.

Hey GM, you’re full of crap.

God there is so much stupid flying around here.

Apple Carplay IS buggy. But those bugs mostly manifest when you try to actually use your phone while connected. If I’m parked and using my phone, or my wife is using hers while connected to Carplay, simple phone functions like swiping an app away will 90% of the time cause the radio to turn on. It’s so annoying I just…

No it’s completely because they want the subscription for updates. Otherwise they’d have an app that you can download map updates from your phone through bluetooth.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Its starts with under 40mph as the foundation, then you expand. The difference is that Mercedes is actively telling you that you can do everything other than driving when using the system, and is taking the responsibility if it fails. that in itself is huge no matter how niche it is (which…

If people have proven one thing, it’s that being a lazy, self-centered dope too stupid to 1) read the manual, 2) grasp what the manual says, 3) abide by what the manual directs is all in a day’s “work”.

“Now for my opinion, I think that it’s best to let the human be the one who determines when a feature should be able to be used or not. It is difficult to make progress with any technology if you are not allowed to use it beyond what it had been used for in the past.”

“Can’t fix stupid” is exactly why customers shouldn’t be given a choice about when and where they can use any manufacturer’s “autopilot” system. Hell, how many people even read the owner’s manual? If it’s not designed for Y road, only for X road, then there should not be an option to turn it on when you are operating…

Mustang drivers manage to pull it off all the time without impairment, so I imagine it’s pretty easy to do with a car that’s much faster.

The LAPD responded and found no signs of Michael being impaired by drugs or alcohol. Cops did not perform a field sobriety test.

I mean, pitting a AWD truck with a supposed 845hp and 10k ft lbs of torque vs a RWD car with 379hp and 331 ft. lbs of torque who do you expect to win? Even if it is towing an extra 4k lbs without any real details it isn’t that impressive.

So this was less of a “We are a cruise ship company” deal and more along the lines of “If you give us your money now we will try to become a cruise ship company.”

The unfortunate thing about deception being so core to sales...people that lie sell more than honest reps. Someone can talk all they want about an honest rep building a base that come back to them, but that is such a long-game that a rep will have already been chased out/performance-managed by the time that has taken…

She was forced to return to her home country, the Dominican Republic, but first, she had to spend the night at an airport detention center that didn’t allow her to keep Maia with her.
