Direct sales  means no markups. 

Dunno man. I’m an airline pilot, so I spend way too much time in the air, and I can tell you that when I forget airplane mode on my phone before takeoff my battery takes a huge hit. Is it possible you could get a signal? I guess. But my company iPad I look at all the time in flight for charts, weather etc is plugged…

The reason to turn on Airplane Mode is because your phone will continuously search for a signal while in the air and drain your battery. 

The problem with that statement is that by definition it IS about safety. There are federal standards that Tesla is not in compliance with. We don’t get to decide that it’s insignificant or not, the standards are there for everyone. What the average person thinks is completely irrelevant. It’s just a damn car, don’t…

Exactly this. I’ve been there trying to sell a few year old family car for about 3k less than a dealer would sell it. So many stupid messages, people saying they’d come and never showing up, stupid trade offers, people asking if I’d finance them etc that I eventually gave up and too it to Carmax. Yes I lost a few…

“Recall bullshit”? Something is wrong and needs to be changed to the degree that the federal government has to get involved. There is an established process that has been in place for decades for exactly that situation, but we need to change the name of it because people who own Teslas don’t like it? Talk about…

Strange. It would seem that all the problems of the world aren’t limited to a single model vehicle at a time. 

After having fancy handles in a Tesla Model 3 and my wife’s VW ID4, my answer is my 4Runner. Why? Because it’s just a big chunky door handle. It’s not electronic, it won’t get frozen, and it has all the same functionality with a sensor to lock and unlock the door. I will also never have to explain to someone how to…

This is really simple to understand. “Recall” is what the official NHTSA notice something needs to be repaired or changed is called. It doesn’t matter if it’s software, hardware, or thoughts and prayers. You are talking about the “Remedy” for the recall. 2 separate things. This is a recall whether you like it or not.…

Such wit.

The term “Recall” is the piece of paper or online listing from NHTSA that says that something needs to be fixed. The fact that it can be done OTA or via physical visit is irrelevant, the fix is called the “Remedy”. So no, it’s not a hit piece. There is a recall. Period. 

Article says F-18s intercepted the plane, why have a picture of a different fighter at the top of the article? Seems very lazy.

I gave you a star because that is one of the bravest things I’ve ever seen typed out. 

SVX only came in auto. Manual swap is fairly easy/common. 

Regal, 912, Ambulance and the bikes stay. Covers all uses.

Incorrect. Pulling the handles shuts off fuel, hydraulics and electrical power. Push them back in and all the reconnects, engines can be restarted. What you describe requires the handles to be turned after they are pulled. That blows the fire extinguisher bottles and the engines won’t restart. 

Condolences. 

I’m not joking. And don’t call me Shirley. 

Bullshit. Read what you just wrote. There is never a good reason to do what he did. 

It’s a completely normal descent rate that you’ve experienced every time you’ve been on an airliner. You wouldn’t even notice it.
