Lower level officials pad and make up numbers out of air, every tier above them adds a bit more. Russia had the same problem, but in China’s system which combines the worst of robber baron Capitalism with the worst of personal cult Communism this seems to be happening at exponential rates. But, hey, they’re still…

Law and Order for Thee, but none for meeeee!!!

“Out of the original 36 cars built, only 52 remain.” But yes, a very desirable car. I can live with the photos; as long as the car is lit and they show me the condition of things. As long as I am spending over $10K or so, I think I would inspect any vehicle before buying, though.

I think that is a large part of why they don’t really use it anymore.

I was thinking of writing something, but my worst story is like ten percent of that hassle - and the most I ever spent on a used car was $5,200. And that purchase entailed buying a car from two 400px photos at auction in Japan, having it shipped to NY and with the importer providing a WA title. It was insanely simple,…

My wealthy, neophile friend bought a Tesla - but after his fifth flat tire on the Long Island Expressway he has relegated it to tertiary duties (Musk’s antisemitism doesn’t help either). They either drive their new Rivian or a very beat up Highlander rather than the Model 3.

The manual (reportedly) states that you are only to use the emergency release if the vehicle is out of power.

You’d think it would be less of an issue, since the added weight of the trailer is less, proportionally speaking. Which leaves aerodynamics.

I keep saying the CyberTruck should’ve been called the Tesla SharkJumper instead.

My in-laws are the same - “why do you keep spending money fixing those old cars” - I spend a tenth of their monthly payment, and their new(ish) cars cost a lot more to fix anyhow: FIL recently spent $2,300 on maintenance for his Forester (he takes it to the stealership and he’s a hook, line, and sinker kinda guy) that…

Yikes. It should be eminently restorable, though.

A height-adjustable seat. 

I really hope they add asshole-burger to the DSM-VI.

Someone should start a company that celebrates the real Nikola Tesla. We could call it... oh, wait. Shit. He didn’t have a middle name, either.

Well, in this case the leader isn’t really asleep at the well but rather aiming for the ditch. Your comment remains true, but doesn’t mean Tesla won’t be overtaken in charging as well.

They should figure out a way to run the company with a $150 million valuation (or whatever number makes sense). Start by spinning of the Cybertruck to X Motors, which will constitute Elon’s severance package.

No arguments with your comment, so here’s a sidetrack:

That guy went from 0-100 quicker than a Tesla Roadster...

I mean, Trump is definitely an atheist - just not an avowed one. And he’s definitely a great example of how religion is used to sway the mushy-brained.

Every element in this story checks out. No further questions.
