Yeah, I was just running the numbers. With the example purchase I used above, I put the $2500 in a savings account with a promo 4% interest rate. Assuming I pull the $100 a month from that account, over 2 years, I’ll have made about $150 on my cash.

These offers are awesome, I do this stuff all the time. I don’t really see any problems with it.

But if he had a bell, how would he shake his fist at pedestrians while riding the wrong way down a one way?

At first I thought the same thing, but he also drives right into the Maxima. 

Looks like it got Sporty Schnoz while the X7 gets Posh Schnoz.

Yes please. Either that or Knight Rider.

Only in the US does 90 kph covert to 55 kph. 

The fact that you don’t know if users can delay updates makes me question your second assertion about rushed updates.

Eh. My parents’ Mercedes recently had a recall for fire risk while parked after driving. The Auto stop/start system can overheat. 

What does this actually do? Are these drivers just saying they won’t work with Uber unless Uber acknowledges the union? If so, doesn’t that just mean other drivers take their place? Or are they hoping they can get a critical mass of drivers to stop working with Uber?

Thanks for this writeup. All the others I’ve seen are just PR talk about being a Tesla killer without going into any of the details of why this car really exists. This actually makes me believe their whole EV story more, knowing that they’re excited about the benefits of electric from a dynamism POV.

One detail to add to the discussions: Lightyear claims 5 sq meters of solar panels so significantly more than the 15 sq ft I’ve seen being thrown around.

After living with an EV for 6 months now, I wouldn’t mind integrated solar panels even if it meant just offsetting the vampire drain or loss due to cold weather.

You worked your numbers weird. You need 1666 hours of charging in a year to achieve 12000 miles. That works out to around 5 hours a day for 333 days a year. Which is more reasonable and within the realm of possibility in some regions.

That’s partially it, but it’s also noticeable on regular cars. The latest Toyota Corolla has been the worst recent car that comes to mind.

Lol, my first street photography course, my professor handed out his cell phone number. She said it was “just in case you get arrested.” Just saying, street photography is not exactly always welcome or tolerated.

If you’re sending unannounced Venmos after a dinner party or something, you might as well put out a tip jar.

Not only are there too many vents, they added a fake vent to the right of the screens.

Yeah, BMW’s new interiors look modern and clean. This just looks busy and fussy. 

With the mobile carriers, most default to lower res video streaming. It’d be good to check with them to see if they’ll apply those limits to cloud gaming too.
