It’s about total cost of ownership. Those cars will get sold eventually. Constant price cuts on new cars undercuts the value of the ones purchased earlier at higher prices.

You’re blaming Presidents for the failures of Congress.  Odd take.

Sure sure sure. Vote for the guy who’s going to dismantle the EPA to protect the jobs of American coal miners line the pockets of his rich oil exec buddies.

People do really dumb shit when they’re miserably hot, sleep-deprived (because it’s hot as hell), and surviving on “whatever hasn’t spoiled yet.” Put entirely too many guns in easy reach of those angry people and this is the natural result.

I get texts from the Texas Republicans all the time and it usually involves them asking if they should go after Biden for X, Y, or Z. I always respond with something to the effect, “Please do some real work! Fix the grid, fix the roads, fix anything, just please stop with the BS witch hunts!”

Ah, Texas. The shining star of the south.

We just are so much better than this.

“If you’re interfering with somebody who’s trying to get the power back up, you’re not speeding up the process of getting the power back on; you’re slowing that process down,”

All drugs have side effects. Some side effects can be severe. Any drug can cause any side effect, although usually doesn’t. Everything a doctor does to you has to balance risk and benefit and some people will have more deleterious effects than positive ones no matter what you do. There is no escaping this.

If they fired their CEO, it would solve a lot of the problems Tesla is facing.

His political views are disgusting.  To call them “quarrels”, get fucked.

Sure, Tesla employs people. Sure, they were important to getting the EV movement started. But at this point they’ve gotten so complacent and listen to so many of Musk’s bad ideas that they need to be called out on it.

I don’t think I’ve done either of those things you’ve accused me of in this article.

Sheesh! You have to put it in a special mode for it to cope with a fucking car wash? And if not, warranty is voided! What a fucking shitshow of a design and company.

I’d like to know what exactly “extreme left” is defined as when people toss this term around, especially when they laughably use it to describe Biden or any other member of the current Democratic leadership.

There’s a bit of “both sides” business in the comments that I want to address.

I can go with trying not to pick a side.

Having taken my first Lyft ride in Vegas right before Covid shut everything down, the way the driver described his ‘terms of employment’ made it sound like borderline slavery. Horrible pay and responsibilities on the drivers, big money for corporate.  I’m sure things are worse now.  Much worse.
