Sell. Gain money on the sell, don’t pay for registration, parking, maintenance, or any of that until you after this is over and you find a new desirable car.

Yes, this is a great time to downgrade your house/car but an awful time to upgrade.

In other words, don’t be my in-laws.

I still don’t understand how cops are allowed to turn on and off their body cams.

Only one fired, none arrested.

Preferring the former helps the future use market for lower income so win win

That might be the right answer if you can rule by edict, but politically, new taxes are hard. It’s one thing to just tax a small segment of the population (such as people making $1 million a year or the estates of billionaires). It’s another to impose a comprehensive carbon tax, which would impact almost everyone.

If there is another EV tax incentive, it should only go towards affordable EVs or middle to low income people only. Luxury and high end EVs have already proven themselves to be competitive. Well off people have already shown they like and can afford EVs as well have the detached private homes that really suit EVs…

This kind of action is only possible BECAUSE of Tesla’s system design (and lack of controls). Your argument is a straw man and bears no relevance. 

People have been driving cars from the back seat for a long time?

1) If there was stuff to workaround, and he worked around it, then yes, blame the driver - because he’d have put real effort into it. Every check might have a workaround, but they involve effort and by design it’s non-trivial effort. But there’s nothing to workaround in a Tesla, lowering the barrier-to-moron to…

If this was any other car, the driver wouldn’t be able to do this.  Tesla is unique in their refusal to use seat weight sensors or cameras to ensure there’s actually a person in the driver’s seat.

If Tesla aka Musk actually cared he would start pulling autopilot from the people that abuse it. But then he would be left without any beta testers. There needs to be a new law that states that any abuse of autonomous driving systems carry a fine of $10,000 and up to 3 years in jail. 

Excuse me Elizabeth, but this is clearly another short-seller hitpiece on noted philanthropist and Tony Stark-irl equivalent, Elon Musk. I have been assured by numerous people online that he is an amazing and perfect person, and by extension so are his companies.

Just another example of the failings of expecting enforcement to do a job that proper regulations and infrastructure would’ve done better in the first place.

As frequent union steward in an American union. We are not a good as we could be because everyone is attacking our right to exist. We are in fight or flight mode all the time. Liked a cornered animal we are lashing out and not getting to be our best.

Just to be clear - there is a difference between the workers’ council and a union. Any company with five or more employees in Germany gets to have a workers’ council which has co-management rights - basically they have a say in decisions of the company.

Elon won’t tweet his way out of this one. Germans will see this project in the same light as having invited Tesla into their home, only to have Tesla shit on the carpet and wipe their dick on the curtains. This should be entertaining.

It would be a damn good thing if all unions were like German unions. I’m my experience they don’t fuck about, and they are very well run. They’re far less adversarial than Australian (and it seems American) unions, at least in the automotive sector, and they approach management with the view that both sides want the…
