There was another thread involving the same person doing the same sort of needless nit-picking. I was attempting to make a point about overly-tedious rules lawyering with this post, not an actual salient argument. It was disingenuous very much by design.

Obviously they’re extremely visually similar. The Y looks like a photo of a 3 that was gently stretched vertically.

I've solved the riddle. Elon Musk is actually one of those aliens from Signs, capable of interplanetary travel, but not knowing that this planet gets wet sometimes.

They definitely don't look the same at all. The Model Y is significantly larger than the 3, and tips the scales at nearly 500 lbs heavier.

Do you perchance play D&D? Because you seem to be quite the Rules Lawyer. This isn’t an actual courtroom, it’s the internet. But let’s review:

Emphasis on swift completion haha

Outside of appeals courts (and obviously-illegal/unenforceable rulings), I’m curious how you arrived at this conclusion.

General consensus seems to be the former.

Oh, it very much is. Durham is heading toward an affordability crisis. People are being priced out of the houses they’ve lived in for decades.

That looks downright habitable. This is what a quarter mil buys you here near downtown Durham:

Durham NC, actually

It’s a bit like a pharmaceutical company selling it’s very first pill and saying it lost the sum total of it’s entire R&D and Clinical Trial budgets to sell it.

I kind of thought this was the case, thanks!

Sounds like my initial reaction of “That number is absurd and meaningless” was more or less accurate.

This is one of those moments where we, as a society, have a chance to make the sensible choice and standardize to a pleasant chord.  It’ll make the world a safer place for all of us, and it will probably integrate into society seamlessly.  And that’s just fine.  

First Gear: This is a question for the Accountants in the audience. It seems damn near impossible to actually spend $100,000 more than the sale price on these vehicles to actually build them. No one on earth would greenlight something that ridiculous.  What weird accounting wizardry is going on to come up with that…
