Survivor’s bias.
Survivor’s bias.
This is right. Why?
1) I’m a little disappointed by the “perfectly safe because I never got into an accident” arguments, it is perfectly safe to do any number of dangerous things until something goes wrong. But as with anything in a real world situation, it’s a case of being safe enough without going overboard, unless the car is actually…
You are a new dad. You won’t be cool for the next 10-15 years. Your life will revolve around the new baby then school/after school stuff. You will have drool stains on you/the car. You new cologne is eau de barf/formula. Cheerios and Goldfish will haunt the interior of whatever you buy. French fries and nuggets will…
What? Last I checked the diver attacked Musk first and Musk just insulted back. Was it childish? Sure. But counter attacking isn’t the same as going out of your way to attack someone yourself. If anything its the media’s fault for blowing the whole thing out of proportion. In doing so, the diver ended up out quite a…
Short sellers themselves are not a problem. The problem is when you have institutional short sellers and hedge funds that actively spread lies, half truths and other questionable things to drive down a company’s share price.
Well Delorean produced what, 9000 cars? Tesla produced what, over 1 million cars? I think when you produced 100X more cars than Delorean, you are way past the stage of being compared to that.
Every time I read about Tesla’s successes on Jalopnik I think back to 10 years ago when all the editors called them vaporware.
I also need to point out Tom, seems your sweeping the major issue under the rug. Noting ‘it’s worth $18 more a month’. it’s not just $18 dollars. If your going to curse the Dave Ramsey approach, you have to at least follow it’s guidelines. in cash it’s $18,500, the discounted new car is $22k; that’s $3,500 difference.…
Listen to Dave Ramsey a bit. Sure, you can pick apart his advice and find examples where his advice may not be the best. What you will find when you listen to him for awhile is that people call over-and-over who have financed shitty cars (like horrible Fiat/Chrysler products) that have worn out or broken down long…
While Tom is technically correct I think he misses the real issue here. Americans in general are spending more than they can afford on cars they don’t need. In 2019 the average cost of a car was $34,000, that is up 2% from the year before and has been increasing at a rate greater than inflation for over 20 years. …
Dude, just become a licensed mechanic already. Establish a mechanic collective. Share a garage where you can work on one of your cars sometimes and work on other people’s jalops to pay for the port space. Get permission to do stories on customers jalops. Make videos. Make some cash.
The problem is the price. They are just too close to a Tesla.
No stick up front, but still a stick in the back. Every other competitor has a rear IRS, and manual option.
Tom, you of all people should know the rabbit-hole fallacy of comparing the price of new cars to used cars. What about a Mustang GT, or a 10 year-old Corvette? Or a 30 year-old Toyota Supra?
This just in: used cars are cheaper than new cars
Ah, the Nintendo sales model.
Still better than that clothing company called Ferrari
Really that is a good troll.
Shorts (the stock variety) are a cancer. I like it.
