170 extra miles is a little bit? Lol

As much as I like the new electric concepts by Audi and Porsche, the range is a deal killer for me

The Model 3 has routinely beat the BMW M3 at head to head track matchups for auto magazines. The delta grows the more tight and technical the track is.

I honestly didn’t think the number would be that high so I decided not to say anything about it. I’m very anti-uber because of the screwing workers, the vulture capitalism, the displacement of cab drivers, etc. If you use one of the article values of 60 cents then pay goes down around 15%. I'm trying to get at that…

As a Tesla MS P90DL owner, I would say cost matters for many owners. Lots of owners are remarkably cheap; just spend some time on those same forums/facebook pages and you’ll see tons of penny pinching and cost comparing. Tesla Model S is a remarkably cost effective vehicle if you’re already in the market for a high…

I feel like comparing the Model S vs Taycan is a lot like comparing the Corvette Z06 to the 911 GT3. Yes, the magazines do it and the same arguments can probably be made if you interchange the Model S for Corvette and Taycan for 911. But there aren’t a ton of people walking into a Porsche dealership who were just at…

How many customers did not buy Teslas because of the uncertainty regarding the companies stability and business model?

Common sense and case law both say you’re wrong.

If you're unsure...

Lidded is way better than open, but I wouldn’t trust that lid to stay in place in even a minor collision.

interesting. that’s another tid but i didn’t know about ride hailing: not knowing the cost of the fare.

Dude. It’s “per se.”

Uber paid its top five executives $143 million in total compensation last year.

You say it should have been a part time gig – according to whom? What did the companies actually DO (not say) to make it so? Absolutely nothing. They say this in their PR speak, but their entire business model is built on volume and their valuation is built on growth.

They’re subsidizing rides, that’s how. Riders don’t realize (or care) that - while traditional taxi cabs are definitely charging a lot for fares - what they should be paying is still far less than what Uber and Lyft end up charging them.

But that contractor is making sure that his price includes coverage for medical insurance, expenses, tools, etc. Uber isn’t doing that and they aren’t allowing their “contractors” to dictate pricing to cover those things, like a contractor normally wold. 

If you hire him to build a deck on different peoples’ houses every day of the year, he’s your employee.

When I am hiring independent contractors, one thing stands out: Independent contractors can set their own price, and they aren’t required to bid on every job we open.

No one is forced to work anywhere, but there are regulations controlling everywhere else anyway.
