The average price of a new car being $48,000 just means that there are a lot of people buying fancy cars

I’ve said it and I’ll say it again. ‘Average’ is pretty much always the wrong metric to use when you are dealing with populations. The median new car price is a much more meaningful number. The reason is that the average is inflated due to the long tail of expensive luxury cars. There is no long tail on the cheap…

Trump will be gone after this election, but Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will continue to fund even more dangerous wackos. This is the first billionaire who is actually dangerous to the country. Most other billionaires just want to maintain the status quo.

The current depreciation is largely due to Tesla’s price cuts on their new cars.

On the Equinox and Blazer, at least, they are getting paid on a per unit basis - not margin on the sale

They really need to clip his wings. He is becoming a dangerous loose nut.

...driven to neighbourhoods to carry out door-knocking expeditions in the back of a U-Haul van without seat beats....

The damages to the truck  will be an order of magnitude more than the stolen packages, that’s for sure. And there is no way that the insurance would cover an intentional crash.

That looks archaeological! It’s not common in the US to see antiquities like this.

Something tells me all those aluminum chassis components are not ‘production-intent’ if they are targeting a $26k vehicle.

She also brought her parents into the country. So ‘chain migration’

The US can force him to sell his satellites and SpaceX. 

Ah, the ‘Find My’ for spaceships

It’s really really admirable that the 1977 electronics continue to work, and that there are NASA engineers who are still capable of manipulating this 1977 electronics!.

Well, they should be given a chance to do their best. The taggers will get no respect from their peers and they won’t get very far. 

My proposal is to designate the freeway sound walls and bridge underpasses as free graffiti zones. These are not any individual’s property.

The whole point is that they would paint on the concrete freeway soundwalls and blocks and underpasses, and nobody would be painting on the side of your house.

It was probably pretty effective. I remember all the way to the 80's lots of car shows were held on these race tracks. Some of them were pretty rowdy too.

Instead of legalizing jaywalking, shouldn’t they solve the problem by adding more pedestrian crossings in the black and brown neighborhoods? Let’s solve problems by their root causes.

I think it’s pretty clear what Elon Musk’s playbook is. He wants to get rid of the subsidies, and then he can import all his batteries from China (as is the case with the LFP battery in the Model 3) without any competitive disadvantage. Meanwhile he will of course, support blocking Chinese EV’s. So he gets the…
