you make 7.25 an hour, you don’t take home 7.25 an hour. so probably even closer to 43 months.

i wish the story addressed how they got fuel and what they used. My guess would be kerosene because the average person probably used it in some fashion. I think you can tune carburetor to run on gas, kerosene or ethanol if you know what you are doing. 

ah we found the “if you aren’t doing anything wrong what are you afraid of” guy

With our insatiable thirst for big cars, it’s no wonder that such a little car would have difficulty gaining popularity.

my point is, a lot of people toss around “the tesla market is saturated, everyone that wants one has bought one etc, but its likely a greater market force at hand. If Tesla had brought the Model 3 to market (in a volume people could actually buy) in 2015 or early 2016, this could be a different story. But businesses…

mickey voice: what am I going to do with an M3 thats got no feckin wheels?

If you are using the lift gate it’s not idling. It’s using the lift gate. Truck drivers idle because they want to keep on the heat or the AC. It’s not good for the truck. It’s bad for the truck.

“Unless a car is significant and rare in automotive history and enthusiast culture, no 28 year old car is worth $5,000+.”

shall i take a picture with it on my head?

I’ve literally been profiled as an out of stater and pulled over because I’m from a state with only one plate

Don’t get me started on credit card date inputting 

fires, you mean like this?

I’ll check it out. I also am not even sure I want to :p

so for example, you are telling me that your car doesn’t start veering to the side of the road when the white line on an adjacent entrance ramp goes away?

I personally find value in listening to a real radio station with disc jockeys and live segments in between my music, and unlike FM radio it’s commercial free.

I have a model 3 and autopilot only works right when the lines on the road are perfect and the weather is good. Beyond that, good luck. And even then I’ve seen some bizarre behaviors (like braking for an overpass shadow)
