They sold $134M of emission credits which makes up the vast majority of their profits. They also claimed $30M of their full-self driving revenue this quarter based on their roll-out of smart summon. Without these they would have been unprofitable, but while the FSD is basically an accounting move (they have not been…

Yeah, I think the author may have made a mistake here. The press-release says:

Have you no pride?

It looks like the small rear wheels are for models with a low rear deck.

The mid-engine Corvette is a pipe dream and will never be released, but if you wait bit more, you may be able to get that new Supra I’ve been hearing about.

So if there is a glut of used luxury German cars, this is mostly going to hurt the Leasing market since their value at lease-end is going to have to be much lower than previously assumed.

Too bad he has no integraty.

Showed up one day in a rental Econobox (Dodge Caliber I believe) and the guys I was meeting were surprised I drive “that”, when I parked next to their work trucks.

Truthfully, I seriously wouldn’t care what a bunch of people driving around in Lifted Luxo-Pickups thought. These people have no taste anyways.

The interesting thing about “Turbo” buttons is that when it’s turned on, the computer runs at its normal speed. When Turbo is off, the machine is put into an incredibly slow state for backwards compatibility for DOS programs that were made for 8088 processors running at 4.77 MHz, and couldn’t cope with the extra speed…
