$12/mo is a rather steep price for something that is gonna sit shelved 98% of the time (pulling a number out of my ass that people ride vs driver annually).

I’m still on an S8, but moving to an iPhone due to Google’s new privacy standards, or lack there of.  Just waiting for the 13 to be released.

Still not as performance orientated as the Rimac C-Two

JBT covered most of it, but also Tesla batteries are in high demand, so they are currently overpriced even in the secondary market.  People are buying them out of totaled Teslas to convert into homemade Powerwalls. 

What I’m baffled by though is the people that ditch PHEV.  It’s a hybrid that can operate in EV only mode for a short range, so where’s the problem?  You still have a gas engine and can take it on road trips.

LOL.  China is very large.  China has very large distances between cities.  Some sprawling metro areas in China are the size of Rhode Island.  China also has an excellent rail system for moving people between cities. But there are those that don’t live in cities and they have some mighty fine roads to drive. 

Pretty soon we will be taking cruises to the North Pole. What a time to be alive.

Have no fear, inflation is here to save the day. I fear we’re going to be going through a stagflation like the 70's experienced.  Interest rates are gonna start to rise soon, probably by end of summer.  Rising rates though is going to create a feedback loop forcing the FRB hand yet again.  

As someone that lived in NE Ohio for a stint, I approve shutting the state down and lining every square inch with solar panels. 

Then should’ve voted for the person that wanted to join the TPP.  Don’t blame others for your own ignorance. 

They want it, they just lie to their constituents that out sourcing is due to the “libertards” and not GOP 50 year policy.

Let me guess, you think Trump was “saving American jobs”, right.

This is why I’m actually going to finally switch to an iPhone from an Android.  Google is getting even more intrusive on our data than before.  I expect them to start offering free colonoscopies to get even more data on us.  I think things at Alphabet are not going as well as they try to proclaim. 

The emperor Musk is an idiot, as has been known. Human’s drive by “optical imagers”, otherwise known as our eyes. That’s how we know what is going on and how to react. He is basically saying what has been known, that computing capacity is not at the level to achieve Level 5 autonomy yet. It is not the “optical…

Some people do it for the sake of doing something to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and not to save money. 

The inventor of Bitcoin were the Russians to bypass sanctions and launder money easily.  They took the idea and created the product then marketed the shit out of it. 

Dat R1T doe.....

This is the big unknown as battery prices fall and energy density increases. 

Does rust repair count?

Way ahead of the curve here. Been avoiding the big box stores for local hardware/supply stores.  Only go to big box if the local stores do not have what I need.
