The guy really in charge and who I largely blame is Gene.  I mean, Steiner clearly isn’t on Wolff or Horner’s level, but I don’t blame him for the Haas situation.

Googled the numbers. Yeah, not really seeing the cratering:

I remember the first time i sat in a Model 3 and I was shocked at how it was markedly less comfortable than my 2015 Hyundai Sonata. It basically looked and felt like an economy plus airplane seat. Just cheap with the thinnest veneer of “luxury.”

They weren’t then either. THE cars most commonly swapped for Teslas were the Toyota Camry and Corolla. Those are not BMW buyers.

Are you maybe mixing up Selena Gomez with Demi Lovato?

It’s not 2019 any more, dude. Times have changed. They *were* legit competitors 5 years ago. They are not legit competitors today.

Brilliant insight on what happens when you let one of the GOP try and explain their actions...a whole lotta verbal flailing while ignoring literally everything they have done (also known as the Donald Trump diarrhea mouth answer)

Yeah, they are still pretending that a Model 3 competes with a 3-series rather than a Corolla.  I’ve been in a Versa with a nicer interior than a Tesla.

I’d be more inclined to agree if we were talking about a car built by a company with a quality control department. 

Are we really still pretending that the Model 3 is a legitimate competitor for the 3 series? The build quality isn’t even close to the same standard, the interior is worse than all but the cheapest of economy cars, and it’s somehow even less reliable. Maybe a few years ago you could argue about Tesla having the…

This will not solve the aero issues.  Sigh.

Rockets engines that don’t rely on fuel pumps. They exist. Instead, SpaceX first used hydraulic fuel pumps, and then switched to even less reliable electric fuel pumps.

Do you have concrete evidence of this? Because everything I’ve read so far seems to contradict what you just wrote.

Most of his time on screen was spent berating his drivers and saying “fuck” a whole lot.

I don’t know about above, but the word I heard from a few friends who were roadies (wayyyy back in the early aughts, this was) was that she was absolutely horrible to every single staff person at her concerts...roadies, assistants, security, everyone. Taylor Swift probably has the talent and following to get away with…

I don’t know. What if Hertz tries to accuse me of stealing the car after I’ve bought it? Their trustworthiness is sketchy as hell, you know.

Don’t buy a high-mileage RENTAL car that the company is selling off due to “high repair costs” (you’ve lost out on the first 80,000 miles of reliability) and “frequent damage” (which probably means the cheapest ones are likely the ones that have been damaged) if you’re trying to save money. Please.

I heard an interview from a former NASA higher-up the other day. He made the point that if NASA had as many failures as Space-X, congress would have cancelled their budget in a heartbeat. So there is a reason NASA takes a long time and costs a lot of money, their financial overlords have zero tolerance for failure and…

Baby, you need a job or something
