So the original comment was that “the British pound has plummeted” wasn’t accurate, and now the actual complaint is that, in your own experience, flight prices haven’t yet dropped. The pound has significantly dropped. As for flight prices, obviously your individual mileage is going to vary. The fact that your own…

20 cents is actually a ton on a foreign exchange market. The GBP just hit 31 year lows to the USD. This was one of the largest single day drops in history. It has indeed plummeted. To put this in perspective, the 20 cent drop represents a 13.4% decline which is an INSANE amount for a currency exchange rate to move…

He is, however, 6-for-6 when it comes to screaming his predictions in a condescending tone.

No, but look at it this way. You’re a delivery driver or a cabby. Your monthly operating costs are $1500. Your company owns a single car that you use for work every day. A new car company shows up and tells you that for $150 (one fill-up plus a little bit more) you can be put in line for a lease of $500/month that…

My dad was one of the pre-orderers. What you need to understand though is that that’s all “company money”, and it’s only a single fillup and a bit’s worth for an owner operator whose monthly operating costs for a traditional truck are in the order to $15k+ a month with repairs and all that.. Putting aside $1500 (in…

Jesus I don’t want to do this...

A Trump rally?

Yes, it’s not like ESPN has trafficked in takes at all, or enabled guys like Schilling and Ditka.

This article is in no way false. We’re talking high volume production cars. At a prospective 0.21, the Model 3 would beat all of them.

XL1 is “production”, but doesn’t meet the “mass produced” criteria by any stretch.

They invested in stores,superchargers,model x development,gigafactory. “They can do better then this” do you think the chevy bolt is a better car?

Maybe cause ford an gm are over 100 years old and had literally generations to build capacity

This is Jalopnik. I imagine readers/commenters cross shop all sorts of weird things. Last time I bought a car it was between a Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-spec, a used Lotus Elise and a JCW Mini.

You were cross shopping a heavy, midsize sedan with a Miata? You have interesting taste.

So let me get this straight - years ago Tesla said to themselves “ya know, I bet we’re going to be burning cash way too fast, let’s start making an affordable electric car so that in three years we can start taking pre-orders at $1,000 each to generate cash to save ourselves”. Yea, no. You’re severely underestimating…

They didn’t buy a car on day one. They put down a $1,000 deposit (which represents 1/35th the minimum purchase price). If your plan is to wait a few months after it comes out - you will be stuck waiting several more years as it will take them a while to crank out the ~250,000-500,000 pre-ordered cars

$7500 tax credits + state credits is a pretty good incentive to get in line early. Also, the CA buyers will probably alright, but everyone else might be in for a wait. The amount of Teslas you see in Silicon Valley is on par with something like a 5 series, so I suspect if geography comes into play for order preference…

Wrong.
