They explicitly state that you shouldn't tip. I've seen other places that mention "it is customary to tip x percent.." So, as far as I'm concerned, it's not customary to tip an uber driver. Sure, we tip for plenty of professions in the us, but there are plenty of others where we don't.

Well, your miles to empty probably assumes constant fuel consumption based on the consumption at that given moment, as opposed to this which also accounts for (or attempts to account for) changes in fuel economy based on changes in elevation and wind.

It'd be like a fuel gauge that can also predict how much fuel you are going to use in the next dozen miles, and tell you where the nearest gas station is.

Who's your insurer and what's your coverage like?! 13 FR-S, 26, perfect record, $1100. Greater Boston.

Erm, you're supposed to tip uber drivers? Whoops.

Time for wikileaks and julian assange to show their worth!

You could just as easily die in a car crash while going to whatever mundane leisure activity you prefer. I'm not claiming the risk is identical, but I'm sure you do indeed assume some risk for "absolutely nothing."

Presumably you'd be smart enough to not go out on the one to two days a year there are inclement ice related conditions.

The attempt at shooting into your team's basket is amazing. Both teams should have played the game as usual, but trying to score in their own basket and the other team trying to stop them. The "winner" has the easier first round in the tournament! Kinda like that riddle with the two brothers racing across the desert.

I don't do #7... purely because I think it looks stupid.

#6, yes! red indicators can be hard to see, even for the conscientious driver.

I'm not too worried about charge time. As range becomes greater, it will matter less. As Musk says, (this is with a bit of spin, he's exaggerating a bit) the amount of time a supercharge takes and the range you get correspond to how long of a break you should be taking during a roadtrip anyways. And that's with…

Hmm, that's a good point. I wonder if we can borrow a few for the next month!

I'm from this town. My sister's 3 mile commute took 55 minutes yesterday. (My 13 mile one to the same destination somehow took only 40 minutes.)

It's all about how the residual (which is agreed to when the lease is signed) compares to the actual value of the car. You could actually come out "ahead" as opposed to if you had just borrowed, but most likely you'll be worse off as the dealer will often over-state residuals.

It's your money... but that strikes me as foolish! I default to 20%, and even if the server is just okay, I'll tip that, but when someone is genuinely bad you betcha I'm not tipping a full 20%.

You could recreate feel by using a feedback motor in the steering wheel. Then you could variably eliminate, or even amplify feel. Also, you could change the steering ratio, for example under 5 mph you could jack it up to make parking "easier."

well, indeed they are, but you could say that about any two economic groups. That is, maybe the middle class is "too rich," presumably if we redistributed more of their wealth we could elevate the lowest class. Of course, I don't actually think that poverty in the US is a money problem. Or, it can't be simply fixed…

It's not about what you need or deserve, it's about what you earn. And I don't mean what you "work for" or "sweat for" or whatever, just literally what you can manage to accumulate.
