Do base models generally exist in large numbers for anything other than econoboxes?

Yay! I found the “flu is worse” guy!

Just be sure to check in with your own comments in a month.

Another day, another “percentage of net worth” article about the ultra wealthy (not picking on Mike, it’s common across the mass media).

There is also the reality that once a dividend is increased, there is an expectation that dividends will stay at that level or iincrease. As such, a company can be punished in the market for giving a large dividend one year, if it can’t continue to do so in following years.

It’s important to remember that this effects buyers of new Teslas as well. If you buy a $20,000 feature that cannot be transferred when you sell the car, that’s an instant $20,000 of depreciation right there.

You see, Jalopnik did a site-wide audit, and your name came up as one that did not originally pay to be out of the greys . . .

My understanding is that if Tesla is the direct seller of the used vehicle (at any stage) they may strip all existing software features in the vehicle and then sell it at a lower cost (later to be upgraded by future owner). It’s completely fair for them to do that and allows the car to sell at a lower price and thus…

“otherwise they won’t last long”.

Living in New York City sounds absolutely horrible.

If you need several tons of stuff someplace in a week or two, rail is used.

There’s also the fact that prior to ELBs there was fudging of the paper log books on a massive scale, as evidenced by the sudden shortage of trucking space when electronic logs finally became mandatory.

But if you catch the rust in time your welded or riveted repairs can be ugly, hidden under the cladding. No need for filler or grinding or anything to make them look pretty only smooth enough so the cladding goes back on properly.

haha, the lower 1/3 of that baby is covered in plastic. You know what is behind that plastic? Nothing. It’s all gone.

No Dave. It’s a piece of shit and deserves to be here.

(I find it insulting that you blame the news. I haven’t watched a news program of any kind for years.)

I always have this stuff on hand ever since I was a teenager and noticed the overpriced pimple wipes were something like 99% alcohol as the active ingredient and saved some money. It damages very little, but takes off glue residue and all kinds of filth without nasty chemicals and a strong smell and I’ve used it for…

Stop it. You are spreading the astoundingly dangerous notion that this is no or not much worse than flu and it’s okay to go about one’s life. It’s not.

The flu is a mostly stable event each year. This is not. Comparing the two is a category error until there is a viable and available vaccine for this. This appears to be more deadly in terms of the populations it affects. It just hasn’t gotten everywhere yet.

As strong as your welding knowledge and ability.
