I assume your insurance company watches YouTube coffee and cars videos...

There are always these stereotyping comments on Lutz stories. He’s against Tesla but old so I can just dismiss him. It’s really eye opening on inbuilt prejudice and how it manifests itself in day to day life.

Buy 2! One will always be in the shop for electronics

The thing is, even if it is garbage, it’s improving all the time. Measured in months. Vs an in car system which you’re really stuck with for years. So it’s a losing proposition to not support mobile phone offerings.

Nothing like a little public negotiations on a new order.

Honestly, Mercedes has a new model each week it feels like. So I’d be suckered.

Lol. You’re really going to struggle when in a few years Jalopnik states “Steve McQueen, who was abandoned by his mother, beaten by his stepfather leading to  self esteem issues resulting in drug abuse and understandable extreme trust issues with women”

Wait. Are you serious or just trolling OP?

Pretty sure the Bolt outsold the Model S in Q4. Annual numbers are a bit misleading due to Bolt slowly ramping this year. Q4 better. Bolt and Volt outsold S and X. And so far each month Bolt has beaten previous month whereas S is flat/matured from a sales perspective. However, Bolt is benefitting from the Nissan Leaf…

So much torment in this response on many different levels. It was like a cold bucket of water being thrown in your face as you finish reading Ferdinand the Bull.

I was bedazzled by the photographs they shared.

There’s a little gap in logic whereby “Car is expensive and yet demand is so strong it’s priced well above that in most cases so let’s make a version that’s even cheaper and....” unless they increase supply substantially, they’re just drawing in even more demand by moving the wrong way on the price curve. BTW imagine…

It started well. But by the end of it I was less excited. It’s hard to sustain interest over 2 hours if he’s in the car, on the phone the whole time, trying to work out who mysterious man is. Tough to carry.

It’s amazing to me how he stays out of trouble with the SEC. On July 3rd he makes forward looking statements for that very quarter. I didn’t go look, but I’m sure the stock reacted, a stock that Musk relies on to sell more of to generate $$’s he needs just to stay afloat. 90 days later “sorry, we hit only 15 to 20% of…

You can make a good argument that there’s a negative cycle where the over-sharing of these types of events reduces their impact on the general population and encourages others to copy them. So there is harm in sharing them without a good offsetting reason. And as for “what kind of fuck do you have to be to say”, try…

I know this is sort of car related, but it has no broader social interest (like Charlottesville did as it spoke to the polarization happening in the country) and therefore seems to involve sharing gratuitous violence for the sake of gratuitous violence. On what internal grounds did you decide this is worthy of…

2020 is the apparent launch date (based on others there today)

It’s an interesting dilemma for Tesla and highlights their strategic mistake of going it alone with super chargers and proprietary chargers. If all their chargers today were open to everyone and always had been, I doubt there would be less Tesla’s sold today - because the other electric vehicles are totally different…

To some, making it harder to visit your in-laws would be considered a feature not a drawback. In the real world, people are solving for your issue with a rental or car sharing service, if they don’t want to add an hour to the road trip to stop and get 100 - 150 miles back into their EV to make it there (where you can…

As an i3 owner with teenage daughters you just combined the two biggest newstories in my FB feed into one chilling headline image. It was a little unnerving tbh.
