So do we know already what the Chinese spy balloon was? Was it a spy balloon or some weather balloon? Was it taking pictures? Scanning for phone conversations? Sniffing farts from 70k feet up? Trying to the hack the WiFi of McDonalds to find out what the general population was looking at on Tiktok?

Was it is to check…

Which taste, BBQ or Lime ? Or good old fashioned Paprika !

Why would you replace the battery after 10 years? The Tesla’s seem to run over 500k miles with 1 battery. You have degradations, but to a point well above 80%. Would you buy a new engine for your 10 year old car just because it doesn’t run as new any more?

Why would you replace the battery after 8 years? The Tesla’s seem to run over 500k miles with 1 battery. You have degradations, but to a point well above 80%. Would you spend 25k (your words) on a new engine for you 8 year old car just because it doesn’t run as new any more?

How’s the maintenance in here? Oil changes. New brakes. Rotors. Spark plugs. Ignition cables. Radiator leaks. Serpentine Belt. Timing chain issues. Transmission fluid. Drive shafts. Drive shaft couplings. Drive shaft coupling. Torque converter. Clutch plate. Hoses. More Hoses.

So many things can and will break over…

You mean like learning where the turn signals are and how to turn off the high beams ?

I agree, that is a long and steep learning curve for most BMW owners.

To risk being judged as a chicom or something ; the Chinese government IS promoting EVs (and has done for quite a while) so you see EVs in Chinese large cities everywhere. A lot if not all Taxis are EVs. Else they use LNG. Not gasoline nor diesel.

EVs have other benefits ; in large cities with pollution bans on cars…

While it’s hard not to agree with preventing Chinese companies to take over the US ; the chinese workers in China have more labour law protection, more paid holidays and more overtime work protection than nearly any worker in the US.

During the coming Spring Festival aka Chinese New Year 90% of the country (China) is…

Why do people have to track the specific location of other celebrity people’s jet? What is wrong with people.

Or perhaps they do it for the clicks, the attention, advertisements...?
There is no healthy reason to promote that kind of information to the general public. If it is available as you said through other…

I just wanted to write, it’s about $15k overpriced. Thanks to you, I do not have to write that.

Well you assumption is wrong there. Don’t have Tesla stock, don’t own a Tesla, not vested in the guy. Wish I had of course. Would have made me a good amount of money. 

I don’t care about Musk. I care about people that think it is normal to have to track the whereabouts of certain people. Because history doesn’t prove that that will always go well. I know the guys isn’t making himself very likeable but even then he should be treated as a normal person, even if he is the petty…

“Our dealers are deeply involved and trusted in their communities and...”

Uhhhh, yeah, right...

Pindycar 600 Series here we come !

Well I’d find it annoying too if everyone would share the license plate of my car AND would be able to see exactly where I’d be driving...

If you don’t agree then feel free to install a GPS tracker in your car and a link to a website where we can see exactly where you car is and when.

If you don’t feel that that is a…

A lot of ad hominems here.

I am looking forward to all the commenters set up several multi-billion dollar companies and stay as nice as they show they are.

You think you need a 1000 software developers to create an app that can send out 140 character messages ?

When Twitter was created that was made by a handful of people.

Twitter is interesting because it runs at scale, but so does Google, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, Netflix, Youtube, Wikipedia, Bing, Disney+, all porn…

That is one piece of desirable car right there.

I’d take that ANY TIME over a brand new Tesla with panel gaps.

He has an EV. Not much rough idle in there, alas for him.
