The biggest single problem I see with all these stories is that Uber and Lyft rushed everything early on, and only now are realizing how they should have been running stuff all along.

“I can give you a quote and potentially lose the sale, or I can refuse to give a quote, and definitely lose the sale.

If this were my kid climbing on someones car (it could be a heap, I don’t care) his Xbox would be destroyed, and he’d have to earn the money to buy a tire for my Jeep if I blew one out running it over.

If you call opening the door “breaking in” then yes. Not all of us live at fort knox.

Jason you can come fix the cosmetic flaws on my cars anytime, let me know where to park the honda as it’s bumper cover is a bit off, hopefully you have a pocket of those plastic tree fasteners

Actually, holiday travel is when planes are at their most efficient. During holiday travel, they beat half-full cars by almost 2:1 for greenhouse gasses.

If he pays taxes, he’s already doing that. And for all the other people who don’t.

<It’s a total unnecessary thing for a holiday to take a plane>

I’ll expand on this—*MOST* frequent fliers are business travelers. As Mr. Party said, the tax won’t reduce their travel, it will increase their employers’ expenses. So what it will reduce is their salary, potential for raises, and even likelihood of being hired into a travel-required job in the first place.

Wish I got a $9000 bonus for sitting on my ass doing nothing.

This. I know how much everyone at my company makes, generally around $100k, and the amount of people driving $100k+ vehicles, especially Model X/S’s is appalling. People can’t afford these cars, it’s like another economic collapse is coming...

Man I used to adore almost everything from BMW. Now I hate everything except the for the actual M2 even there I don’t love it

Street parking is the really challenging one. I don’t see that being fixed, I think the network will just be big enough that when you go to work, or shopping, you can charge there and keep yourself good while you cant charge at home. 

I won’t buy an EV as long as I live in an apartment and can’t charge it.

Porsche does this type of release all the time.... introduce the middle to upper trim first, then the top trims, then 6-8 months into the run release the actual “base” model. Makes them get more profit by selling high margin cars to early adopters. 

Brown Porsche estate that is not ugly or dieselly. Just to make people a bit more cheerful on a Monday morning.

Nope, I actually know for a fact khrodes1 doesn’t have kids.

I grew up riding in the back of a 1971 ZAZ 966, before my family immigrated and then had series of rusty used 1980s Honda Civics without AC, finally we were able to move up to a less-used ‘89 MPV with air conditioning. My 5 month old rides in his rearward…

Finance managers are equal opportunity a-holes in my experience. 

Terrible people, like dealers, use misogyny as a multiplier for terribleness.
