So wait a second... If I can find a 2009 Jetta with ~95,000 miles on it and back calculate to roughly 85,000 miles or so the adjustment is $0. Then if I look up the buy-back price for Pacific Northwest it shows ~$12,700 buy back price (or like $4500 repair compensation). So if the price of the car was $10k, could I…

So all those “Lamborghini” rally racing was actually this thing skinned as a Lamborghini...

From my understanding reading comments from the Tesla blog and other industry people is that the glass now a days actually acts to strengthen the car structurally in a fairly cheap and easy way. (Think about it, EVERY car has a windshield). What Tesla has done is take that “proven” simple technology of a big…

I don’t see anything wrong with Tesla’s reply, especially since it turned out they weren’t in the wrong, or at least FAR from recall level and out of warranty period. I suspect the verbiage on their agreement is more to keep it from being used in court AGAINST Tesla. They’re erring on the side of maybe something odd…

Has to be a large enough pickup that you can shoehorn the boxster into the bed of it, then make sure you start the engine of the boxster and let it run while you’re driving around... Otherwise you’re honestly only ever running on six cylinders... Which lets face it, could be the likely outcome of the V12s Doug…

MatPat explains the math behind his calculations or cites sources when talking about how to tell if someone is lying or how to optimize dating techniques etc. He’s missed the mark plenty of times, but has always shown you HOW he did and that gets you thinking that there is more to everything then just the surface that…

Wow, doesn’t take much to impress that school. Maybe hire some better physics teachers or something? A 1/4 to 1/3 full bottle of water with that scale throw isn’t all that impressive or hard. I’m not saying he would land it every time, but the chances are rather good that he will.

And they are working their butt off to roll it out! One huge selling point for me is the Tesla Superchargers. I don’t want to hunt for a charger somewhere, I don’t want one lone charger in a big parking lot or garage somewhere that I have to find and hope is not in use, or blocked by some random car. I like the gas…

Is it a non-refundable tax credit? Because if so, you would have to be making enough to pay $12,500 in taxes ($5,000 at the state level and $7,500 at the federal level) to get that money back. They don't just hand you a check if you're not paying the tax and they don't just discount the purchase price. You would have…

I’m in eastern Washington state. I know Portland OR (~4 hr drive) has a Tesla show room, and I would assume a service center. I THINK Seattle has a service center (~3.5 hr) now. We have a super charger so we’re on Tesla’s radar & we have a lot of very smart people (Master / PhD guys) in the area between Hanford & the…

That’s good. But that’s only one of the items that makes the model 3 attractive to me. They need to iron out the others fast, the look of the car needs a big change to go against Audi/BMW/Merc looks.

How come GM decided to make the thing horribly ugly though!? I’m fine with who ever makes it, I just want something that looks kinda BMW 3 series or Audi A4-ish with a 200+ mile range, nationwide super fast quick charging (even if it’s a pay option), and all wheel drive. I want that car to drive basically like a…

Ya, it could have been “humor” in the sense of “you didn’t really have to work today since you dominated the race from the moment you got in the car.”

Mon-Wed and a 9 to 10p showing, during school you'll probably be the only one there, rest of the year, maybe a few people up to a dozen. Best time to see movies.

With that weight and carbon fiber I bet the thing is still crazy expensive for what it can do, and your little fender bender might turn into a huge repair bill if it cracks the carbon fiber.

Ironically if recent history is any indication Apple would protect your data and refuse to snitch to your insurance or anything à la Apple V FBI iPhone.

While I think AutoPilot is probably the best commercial system out there right now, I would constantly be stressed out when it was running. I don’t know how well it lets you know when it’s in control vs when it needs you to take over, but man that would stress me out. I need like a five second heads up knowing that I…

I can’t help but think Clarkson would have just demanded they go to some other slightly similar “stand in” country and then deliberately point out things that give away that they're not actually in whatever country they're talking about and comedy would ensue...

After the updates: Again, you represent a company basically all the time, especially if you’re in a public facing position in the company OR make it clear to the public who you work for, IE tweeting about your job etc. it may not be cool and the best way to do things, but it’s just how it is. People get sensitive to…

Could people maybe keep their work place and personal/internet place separate? Unless she has official blessing from whoever is higher up the chain then her then she wouldn’t comment on anything that is or isn’t happening at her place of work, and that goes for everyone. If people are still being harassed about it…
