I mean where else does this happen??? (gestures broadly to the entire world)

All dents look bad, but won’t dents on this look *really* bad? And require *really* expensive replacement/repair?

The slow humble brag, I like it! I get it because I went to U of M!

“Rethinking” the markets that have long ago converged to the optimal functional design.

Lol, what?

Having a unique look is one thing, but this design doesn’t even look functional. They took a hybrid approach to a truck and SUV but only included the worst parts. Like wtf is with the rear roofline - no head/storage space and no utility of an open bed. It’s the worst way to conceptualize utility.

I really didn’t think you could summarize Tesla’s past future and present so succinctly:

This looks like an AutoZone chrome accessory gussied up Navigator with fake badges, yet somehow worse than the sum of those parts.

Because they’re *standard* tests. They are repeatable and typically based on worst case scenario and rated based on that. That an impact with another vehicle may be less severe is irrelevant. There are many cars on the roads, semis, and infrastructure objects that do not have crumple zones. If they designed for the…

I’m pretty sure that was a joke. Have a Yoohoo and calm down.

Programming and EECS type stuff is taught in grade school (k-8) where my kids go. Their capstones are programming robots and autonomy if I remember correctly.

All of the online stuff is pretty bad for me currently. Raids/trading/jumpy player NPCs in the wilds.

Amen. I think 8-8.5/10 is accurate. The overworld pokemon are a fantastic change along with the wilds. I am excited to see how the meta turns out for this game.

Stagnant how exactly? Nearly doubling after the mortgage crisis and financial collapse? Are you blaming Obama for that and not the recovery? This chart sure looks like the market doesn’t really give a shit if it was Obama or Trump (market cap has been stagnant since January 2018, fyi):

We *had* friends who were both realtors who (for the love of God) would not stop asking us if we wanted an assessment or were thinking of moving or knew anyone else who was planning. 1) No and 2) it’s a terrible GD idea to have a friend be a realtor beyond acting as your agent only - and even then. I ghosted them and…

That’s my point. People like you will, but will mainstream demand and price point build a business case? Lot’s of people pre-ordered M3s and Tesla is struggling mightily with profitability even with creative accounting. It’s not a simple IQ test, since the upshot ROI in the EV market today is essentially a push from a…

The trend of *checks notes* loss-leading vehicle development?

This is a case study in subjective guidance. Of course it makes sense to someone who wants to buy GM (PH)EVs. The question is if you can make an EV CUV that’s 1) in demand and 2) profitable - the Mustang EV whatever has not answered either of those questions. Full stop. GM is out of EV credits, so they need to move…

Yea, the difference between this and Mustang dilution is *profitability*.

Expect better? As in behavior from grown ass adults? This is a fun game. Deal with it. If it rebalances the meta or proliferates higher tiers, then I welcome the cull. Regardless, I am enjoying this game regardless of not being able to bring in everyone of my old BR mon.
