Tesla said 4-6 weeks for this model. Where are you getting February from?

No, but better-than competitive wages and/or benefits can lure others already in the specialized fields. It’s why Google, Facebook, etc. do what they do in the tech field. I work for a software development company, and we pay wages in-line with the market. However we don’t offer benefits and perks in-line with the…

Agreed. And it’s usually 7k minimum, but many states have additional incentives. In Oregon, for example, you’d be getting almost 10k off the net price of the car. On a 35k car that’s almost an instant 30% “depreciation.” 

But it intrinsically has no value. It’s value is entirely based on the belief that it has value. A dollar has no use outside of being a representation of monetary value. So to make the argument that cyrpto is worthless because it’s “fake” is just a poor argument to make. It’s no more fake than the dollar, it’s just…

As an agile coach I'm definitely familiar with their development approach. What scares me is their seeming lack of focus in any one area. The breadth of this game is impressive, but it could also mean that they get each pillar of what they want to accomplish 70% done by the time they run out of money instead of…

Is there a plus side in that in the context of America as a whole, a relatively unknown character is being playedd by the most popular, recognized, and highest paid male actor today? Is there value in that? I mean that as a legitimate question. 

Not sure if you can still do it, but the hack was to record yourself saying whatever you want instead of “Hey Google” when you were training it. So the prompt tells you to say “Hey Google” but you’d say “Jarvis,” or whatever. I’m guessing things have changed such that it doesn’t work anymore?

Not really sure what a C5 Z05 is, but I’m assuming you meant the C5 Z06, but that didn’t come with 505 hp, it came with 405 from a 5.7 liter. 

Based on the email I got from Bollinger about this one #4 is the same as the B1, in that it’s 10,001 lbs. for the GVWR. 

I am hands down a target buyer for the B1, maybe the B2. I sooo want to go electric, but sooo love my Jeep Wrangler. 99% of my driving would fit the range restrictions, and the other 1% I could rent, fly, etc.

Your argument, and supported data and figures, simply blew me away. I’m now a believer. Keep the preach train rolling brotha!

From a technical perspective it gets more and more complex to maintain software the more it diverges between platforms. I can understand why they don't want platform specific character function. Creates an even greater balancing logistical problem. 

Will it actually be a touch screen? I thought BMW and Mercedes were still all about the dial control. 

I don’t blame them either, but then why keep putting out halo prototype performance cars that they never intend to build. It’s just a reminder of what they could do, but choose not to. It’s an unsubstantiated tease at best.

Agreed. I’m a Tesla supporter, but this article seemed to just call it like it is. The one the other day bitching about people volunteering to teach people about their new Tesla on the other hand . . . that seemed like an agenda-piece. Auto enthusiasts teaching other people about their cars, whether or not it’s in…

It’s not pedantic at all. Under normal charging circumstances the charge from 80-100% can take as long as (and in some cases longer) than the initial 20-80% charge. While an 80% charge might be perfect for most use cases, it’s disingenuous to present to the readers that the process would be linear. Readers should have…

I think Harry’s point, if I’m understanding him correctly, is that maintaining that rate of charge from 0-100%, as seemingly described in the article, isn’t realistic or accurate. It appears to ignore the tapering of charge between 80-100%, and characterizes the rate of charge as linear, when it isn’t, and has never…

Coal powered electricity plants. Autos it’s entire depending upon the root fueling source. 

Maybe it’s the average charge time across the entire battery capacity? Just thinking maybe 0-80% is more than 20 per minute, and then 80-100 is less than, but averaging around that?
