Put the building on air suspension. Problem solved.

It was literally mentioned in the report as the reason researchers started studying building sink rates, which is explained in the article. 

a perfect shit storm of their own creation.

Teslas do not have autonomous capabilities.

Imagine being wealthy enough to buy yourself the government of the United States of America.

Agreed. Buying an EV today, likely means a bigger investment than just the car itself. Many folks have had to make additional investments to update their home electrical systems or add home charging capabilities. I think for many people their EV might also not be their only car; so they might not plan to replace their…

It seems to me that tires go pretty quickly on EV vs. ICE cars. I am curious how well the suspension and steering components (control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rods, etc.) hold up with the additional weight of an EV but that should be considered during the design phase. Really the parts you save on are brake pads…

I can’t really see how the maintenance on an EV really comes in that much cheaper.  Even my Fiat 500 is practiaclly bulletproof compared to the cars I grew up with.  I’m coming up on a decade of ownership and I’ve changed the oil a couple times a year, two new sets of tires, and one all round break job.  Sure, if I’d…

Even if EV operating costs are on par with gasoline, I’ll still stick EV’s in the future.  Not having to stop at a grubby gas station has been a bigger advantage than I was expecting.  Plus EV’s a quieter and smoother to drive.

Home upgrades are a huge part. We don’t even have an EV or PHEV yet (nothing has met our needs or desires enough to start having a car payment again...) but when we recently refreshed our antique home’s wiring we opted to add a couple weather-protected 240-V plugs to the outside of the house in anticipation of the…

Should have just named it “Mechanical Turk” and been done with it. 

“Tesla Cybercab Will Be Remote Controlled Until FSD Improves”

First gear: so, do I have this right? A presumably huge room full of low-paid staffers/remote drivers that are expected to pay super-close attention to everything going on around a car by watching screens and listening for warming beeps? Notwithstanding the possibility that they’re going to be chatting with the…

I wouldn’t drive one if you gave it to me for free.

How much stock you holdin’?

I don’t think you understand how depreciation works. It’s a nice effort, I’ll give you that. But when a vehicle was originally sold for an amount and then sells again for a different amount, those are the numbers that matter. Do you think you’ll be able to sell that brand new $80k CT for $75k next year? Lol go ahead…

Asking price does not equal selling price. And a $15,000 discount for 50 miles isn't what I'd call "holding value" either.

Pretty sure he already has. Hasn’t his wealth gone up at least tens of billions since election day?

All that’s a feature not a bug.

“As far as electric vehicles go, we still see that as the future long term, and you can see the trend globally,” Jacobson said. “Many of the customers that are new to General Motors are coming in through the EV channel. That’s in a nurturing stage. We’ve got to get it to profitability, but that doesn’t change if the…
