Cadillac has this in addition to.. the keyfob. You can also start the car with your Apple watch. (Although it requires an Onstar membership.)

Tesla also started selling fobs for the Model3 because of the amount of pushback they got over it.

There’s no data here that correlates that price strictly to recent emissions controls mandates.

Prices of various things have gotten more expensive relative to what they were then. (Exception, technology items.)

Some of that cost can certainly be attributed to added safety tech.

I’d love to see your supporting data for that claim.

8 year loans are because they can. It is because people are willing to agree to it. Jenny can get her Mercedes (CLA) that matches her iPhone and Gucci purse. 

Are reviewers not allowed to say negative things about a car?

I don’t understand how people can’t think of this in a common sense situation. Just as the “battery swapping stations” were completely unfeasible when you actually spent.. ten minutes of energy to think about it, this is utterly ridiculous.

What is a battery that has any sort of range? Very expensive, very big, and…

At 135hp.. you’re not living too dangerously.

Don’t you love the logic of “I’ve done all this shit to it so it should last me a while. I should hold on to it.”

..and then a couple of months later a rod bearing gets eaten and you fall in even deeper.

This review is just weird.

The car is $150k.

But what you’re saying is that if your Tesla autopilot malfunctions, you would die. And what I’m saying is that if you’re actually paying attention and controlling the vehicle like, you know, you should, you’re not at any more risk. Ultimately, you’re in control.

You’re not going to die if your Tesla malfunctions either, unless you’re not paying attention.

It’s almost like you think you don’t have control of the car.

Oh, I agree it’s not all boomers. But the majority do have your father’s mindset still. I think that is changing with the millennial generation. But just because you’re an exception, does not a rule make.

But the country we have today, the president we have today, the policies (healthcare/social security) we have…

I mean, that’s what the boomer generation’s stance pretty much is. Fuck you, I got mine.

M5: 553 lb-ft of torque
CT6 V-Sport: 627 lb-ft

You’re very wrong.

You remember when the iPad came out and other companies tried to release a luxury tablet that cost the same as the iPad?

The same thing is going to happen here. Do I want an Audi e-bullshit with lower specs than a Tesla, albeit a nicer interior, or do I want the cool, bleeding-edge over the air…

Transporting a car halfway across the country costs about $700. 

In other words: Super ambitious guy misses his aggressively-set deadlines, but eventually hits his targets.

Yeah. Chicago (Headquarters) and Dallas (Cidercade) have good ones that I can think of off the top of my head. They are actually a flat or no fee, and then you just pay for overpriced booze.

My biggest problem is now that all of the pay-by-the-hour arcades have this.. and when I whoop someone’s ass and they have to “buy back into the game” they get a free 100k for being a LOSER.

It will come. Someone has to do it first and it has to be successful. In this case, Tesla. 

From what I’ve seen, the Model 3 performance seems to fit the bill of what you’re asking..
