There are only 3000 of them on the road and the litany of problems is pretty remarkable. Even assuming a lot of people are coming down hard on it because it’s a stupid truck, and a Tesla, it still seems like it’s disproportionate

Also, EV sales are not slumping - in fact Q3 sales were 50% higher in 2023 than 2022. What is happening is that Tesla’s market share is falling fast and their stock price was predicated on constant inexorable growth which is less likely now. This article could only have been written by AI or a recovering Elon fan. 

Temperature increased to -32C, not -78C. Just FYI

Drop and run

Not to mention that the IRS treats it as a taxable event because they, unlike our friend Ted, do not see them as functioning currencies

The two people who have already plead guilty - Ellison, the CEO of Alameda is the one on the left

Money Laundering

Assuming the hoses are 50 feet long, I will buy one inch of one of the hoses from you for $1666. This would value your entire collection at a more reasonable $1 million (or $500k per hose). You can then go out and by another 20 hoses with the money I gave you and then... PROFIT

So much for my ID4 love - I went ahead and bought an EUV and I love it

Supercruise is designed so that you take your hands off the wheel. You do need to pay attention. Particularly when it is busy you have to take over every now and then - usually when someone does something dodgy in front of you. But it is much better than I imagined it would be. Far better than traditional adaptive…

I don’t think we can say that anymore. The VW ID4 looks like a good, practical family car and it’s not too expensive, especially relative to an equivalent Tesla. 

This reply has aged poorly given that many of these “investment” schemes have been revealed as Ponzis. Which was pretty obvious from the beginning. 

The majority of people do not, under any circumstances, by any stretch of the imagination buy individual stocks. Most people by index funds or mutual funds that invest in a basket of stocks. Anyone who did this is down about 10% and is still earning dividends which can be reinvested (something that a crypto investor…

Most people who invest in the stock exchange (401k holders) these days are absolutely not giving money to traders so they can gamble. The money goes into index funds which are the most boring product imaginable. Buy stocks, keep dividends, watch them grow over time. It’s not gambling because you are buying something…

Although, not sure even Ireland had parishes back them (unless there was some druidic equivalent)

That amongst others. Very nice

Hurling, as a team sport has been around for a long, long time. There are references in 5th century Irish Law texts to compensation for injuries sustained playing hurling and many Irish legends incorporate hurling into the stories. Some sources say that the earliest record is more than 3000 years ago but that is…

He is a sad indictment of the medical system where someone who considers the risk of getting rabies vs the very real cost of post-exposure prophylaxis and decides that the rabies risk makes more sense to him. 

It’s not even that - it’s worse. You can’t swallow water or your own saliva so you keep it in your mouth and drool so potentially increasing the likelihood of spreading it to others. Similarly, the biting - if your mouth is full of virus-laden saliva, when you bite someone the risk of transmission is off the charts.…

Well, that’s how it works right now given that mining is completely concentrated and most coins are owned by a small number of people.
