That last part. Besides what others have pointed out about the margins on inexpensive vs. expensive cards, a huge driver of the success (really the entire part thus far) of Tesla is the brand itself. Their sales are being driven by people of means who view their cars as reflections of their taste and intelligence (and …

Seems like every high mile Tesla needs a battery pack on 150-200k mile intervals at $30k each. And drive units every 200k. $20k each. Tons of ice engines are reliable for many more miles. Typical taxi use Prius need a battery at 300k for about $5000 and are taken out of service at 600k. But they cost far less to buy.…

Can’t speak to the anime, but having read both, they’re pretty different.

The only way NASCAR could be a bigger corporate whore is if they all wore crotch less panties and high heels. Very sad group of non genuine people running that side show...

I’m surprised some stupid teenage youtuber with too much money hasn’t done the “FSD with no hands” thing yet, knowing it will crash.

And according to a recent Consumer Reports article, they’re not very reliable. I don’t get it. To me, Tesla is 90% hype.

I would love to see him just let the thing keep plowing into stuff haha or at least let it come to the unsafest of stops.

I wonder if that’s ever happened in a Tesla test drive? Can you even test drive a Tesla or do they come shrink wrapped in plastic?

JEB!

Counterpoint... The Fenders on U-Haul trailers are too high. Most people don’t know they are actually hinged so you can swing them down and get your doors open to get in/out of your car when it is loaded.

How is that stereotyping exactly? There’s no such thing as a calm, level-headed trump supporter. Especially if they display that on their vehicle

So that’s why he’s called Winnie the Pooh.

Nope. This happens once a week or so. Likely because Kinja broke. 

I had to do a double take when I opened the page. I couldn’t believe that there wasn’t a slideshow.
