They are no less efficient nor wasteful then their sedan counterparts. Real world MOG differences are typically less than 1MPG between an automakers SUV cabin vs sedan on the same platform/drivetrain.

The US had these missiles 40 years ago. Russia witnessed plenty Theyof tests in the 70'3 and 80's. They are not some technological breakthrough.

Its the driver who chooses which rides to accept. Your logic is faulty.

You’ve obviously never hired a plumber.

It’s not about abandoning the military, it’s about speaking softly and carrying a big stick.

Because little effort was made to try and salvage the agreement. Instead it was used as an opportunity to score political points.

Can they not show up to work for weeks/months at a time and not be fired?

“Does the company control or have the right to control what the worker does and how the worker does the job? Uber very much controls what its employees do and how they do it. True contractors are hired to complete a task but have near-total control over how it is done, as long as it is done to specifications.”

The key is Uber cannot tell them when they will work. Unless Uber gets to set their schedule they are contractors.

Yoyvm an like driving for Lyft, Uber and others? Yep....

That is incorrect. Many contractors work where the job/task has fixed costs set by the company. The contractor either excepts the terms or does not.

If employees can choose when and where to work they are contractors.

“These costs are already sunk for models that have a manual in Europe but don’t offer one in the US, though.”

Sure, Tesla will share it’s IP with anyone who asks....and is willing to pay them what ever price they demand.

While I agree I’d also point out that the number of Sonata’s sold at MSRP is exactly zero. These things get tonnes of promos, discounts and price breaks.

Hi Uncle has some kind of ties to Aston Martin: https://www.gorkana.com/2017/09/meet-the-influencer-supercar-vlogger-mr-jww/

Well, I guess he’s a “YouTuber” but he’s also a trust fund baby and has family connections to Aston Maartin (via his uncle) so there’s that.
