Because it is a large amount of money in an industry without a sterling reputation for forthright dealing.

Psh Noob.

Foresight, highly sought after yet never taken seriously.

The vehicle charging system is not programmed for max charge rate and won’t use every extra electron to charge the battery. It is programmed to charge the battery in the most gentle, get the job done so we can start again, but be careful to not damage the battery so we have warranty costs, kind of way.

But you can get this conversion done with a manual transmission Mustang.

You know who doesn’t have a Kandi Coco? Carol f*ckin’ Baskin.

Its great that they are, and I hope we get lots of them. But the automated bottle squeezer isn't anywhere near as good as more advanced systems. Better systems are better. Cheap systems are better than no systems. Let's not equate them too much.

This is horribly understarred. 

Countercounterpoint, it is definitely a fine distinction to most people. But, it’s also important in communicating to the public, most of whom do not have any kind of familiarity with biology or epidemiology as sciences. I don’t mean that condescendingly, I mean that going forward it’s becoming increasingly important…

Another reason engineers should rule the world...

“As the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19"

Have you ever worked in the auto industry, or any industry for that matter? This isn’t your neighbor’s basement startup, it’s a massive company without access to manufacturing facilities or pretty much any other development facilities. To maintain 75% productivity is a lofty goal when your entire workforce is…

The paperwork takes 15 minutes; going to the DMV and waiting for everything can take 2 hours, and they are only open during business hours. So you have to take sick/vacation time to go do an annoying chore; I get it. I’ve bought new underwear instead of doing laundry before; people are lazy!

While I would agree that the dealer system is flawed and ridiculous.

If it does run in September (which it also did in 1968 due to the political unrest in France that year) it will mean four hours more nighttime running than normal. 

I think you are underestimating who all is going to feel the pain from this, and a middle to upper middle class guy who just saw his 401k drop by 30% in two weeks and is now worried about his job security as his workplace shuts down may no longer be in the market for a $70k toy that he put a deposit on 6 months ago.

Despite capitalism being far from perfect, it still remains by far the best and most successful system that has fed, clothed, and employed the most people in human history. It is the largest net positive to the most people around the world than any other economic system ever.

You absolutely should pick on Mike for this. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean that it’s right. He picked the title, he knew exactly what he was doing and excusing it only encourages more of the same.

Another day, another “percentage of net worth” article about the ultra wealthy (not picking on Mike, it’s common across the mass media).

I like it.....
