Ken, you finally beat me. The only thing you’ve got that I still don’t like is your fashion sense, and I can’t judge people on that. You win Ken. I like you now! Get some grown up clothes!

Not when the technology has to play well with the existing infrastructure. It took years just to get HD TVs into homes, and they are a fraction of the cost and risk of a new car. It could be argued that the need for a self-driving car is really limited to the metropolitan areas. That alone would keep any avalanche of…

Some would say that it’s more dangerous to ride along with a unknown buyer than to let them take the car alone. Good rule of thumb is to ask for a driver’s license and get their information before handing over the keys.

“asked if he could test drive it for a day or two.”

“A day or two?”

Quick economics lesson for ya: Depreciation is determined by the market and not by the manufacturer. The Model S doesn’t depreciate in value because consumers are willing to pay more for a used Model S vs. other models.

Tesla has done a GREAT job ensuring resale value stays high by offering free updates and upgrades…

Umm, ones that don’t earn a commission. If you don’t earn more based on the quantity you sell, then (depending on the company) the goal becomes ‘getting the person the best thing for them’, not you. Recognizing that ‘the best thing’ might be not the thing you have to sell. That’s why everybody hates commission.

Tesla knows their demographic... foolish rich people on fad diets.

Exactly, was petrol-car shopping recently and been dodging numerous attempts of being lured into buying something more expensive.

2010 Kia Forte SX. TBH the one thing that really kills it is the 5spd auto. It is a shameful gearbox that is so dead set on shifting before 2500rpm and never downshifting that it totally takes the fun out of the car. I’d probably hoon the crap out of it if it was a manual and enjoy it a hell of a lot more.

I somehow read that last sentence as “getting Clarkson to do push ups” and could only think of how unrealistic that idea would be.

They’d wrapped him in cling film, just in case;

Complains how boring it is

“I want to welcome you all to the best funeral service...............In the world...”

Captain Dies Last.

He needs to record a voice over for his own funeral so it can be shot TG style.

Clarkson is certainly not a example of good health, but pneumonia is not to be taken lightly.

Oh whatever, plebe...everybody knows BMW drivers always have Right of Way.

If we say the car fell from 80 feet above grade. It was going about 50mph when it hit the ground. Most modern cars can easily protect occupants in a full-front collision at that speed, small overlap and offset crashes tend to be more brutal. Also, newer cars are now tested for roof strength. So the car hits the…

The russians played the belligerent card fairly effectively, but they were never as un-hinged as North Korea. And, on the other side, regardless of party you always had the thought that the US president was an adult and would be calculated in his decisions, no matter how crazy the russians were acting.
