Wait a minute, an entitled comment from Farah? I’m shocked!

And probably the coldest winter most Americans have ever experienced.

Oddly enough, as a regular person with a regular job, I pay quite a bit of my income in taxes, percentage-wise. Somewhere to the tune of nearly 30%, between federal and state (not including sales, etc.).

My experience has taught me that most salespeople are ill equipped to sell gas powered cars to people as well.  So I guess that tracks.

well what other production v8 has been more powerful?  weve got time.  

How can Tesla possibly be worth the same amount as Google?

Charging at home will only be cheaper than gasoline until govt decides to tax it to get the revenue it expected from gasoline. The technology to do so is well within the abilities of smart meters.

2nd: It’s sure gonna be interesting how the battery supplier wars turn out. I get the whole idea of the supply-chain issues and sourcing materials. My curiosity is if it turns out that one them ends up being the “Cadillac” or “iPhone” of batteries. With such an expensive product as a car is, will people settle for the…

There must be some history here, because to me, the question is a simply binary.  Is he now working or is he still on leave?

You’d be surprised the reactions some people have to a man taking parental leave. Add in the fact Pete is gay and you’ve got a double whammy of backward thinking.

“The Wall Street Journal is a newspaper that fundamentally loves successful business. These stories are not bad, necessarily, even though they celebrate capitalism”

3rd gear: She sits on the board of a Lidar company. Kind of relevant.

Just do it. As an avid cyclist who has a long history of being cheap SOB I’ve always bought the mid-ish spec tier of all my bikes. I’d make upgrades along the way to make it the way I want. Which means in the end I spent as much if not more to have a bike that isn’t as nice as I could of had from the factory. I’ve…

He did have it in writing. The problem was the dealership employee screwed him over by omitting the fact that what they both signed was simply an acknowledgement of the reservation, rather than a contract that forbid alteration of the final sales price.

At the same time, why does everything have to come down to legality and signed agreements for things like this. Shouldn’t a well functioning system be easy to navigate, transparent, and not rely on having to protect yourself all the time?  An ideal system here should be relatively “frictionless” so to speak.

Obviously these type of dealership do not believe in long term relationship. They will be the first one to cry over direct selling model like Tesla, which hopefully become more popular down the road.

This is kind of my response to people when they ask me about when the cost of construction materials are going to come down. Why would they when people have been paying higher prices for this long? Short of a significant collapse of just about everything, the increased price of all that we see is going to stay the…

The problem is that economics drives the boat, as it were. If the US decided to entirely cut imports from China by building all local supplies, then competitors in other countries would undercut US prices by continuing to buy from China. To succeed all one needs is a planet-wide embargo of all trade with China. And…

That fork (and those brakes!) look incredibly heavy, and weight is the enemy on a bike. I think he had an interesting idea that just couldn’t be developed into a commercially viable product. 

I believe Sachs got out of the bicycle component business in 1997 when SRAM bought them. So this bike, and by extension the suspension design, is at least 25 years old. Would it still be relevant today?
