I would also like to thank Jalopnik and all the G/O Media sites for reminding me of society’s terrible obsession with materialism, excess, and capitalism as my computer’s CPU is brought to its knees under the weight of all the browser ads.

I can appreciate the sentiment, but any display of acquiring something only to destroy it is largely missing the point if it’s an objection to capitalism. Someone paid Tesla for the car, right? That’s already a win in their book even if you crush it.

I’m 99% sure ATL does, but these grifts bank people not being familiar with there they are, and it not registering that “hey, this person offering me a ride is not in the designated taxi/livery car area”.

They have to be able to enforce the ban, otherwise it’s practically pointless.

Today’s Tesla Shitpost... So the car that has 1,500,000 preorders vs the truck that can be had on any lot for 5-15k off sticker... SHOCKING. Great journalism. The truck in front is a Chevy.

Do you seriously think this is how it works between a publicly traded company and a private company he owns less than half of? Sometimes I am just reminded of how ignorant people are of how businesses operate.

Exactly. I knew someone who owed a ton of money on a new Dodge Challenger they couldn’t afford.

They need reliable cars. You can’t just hawk off some pre-production units with unproven reliability to a company that has government contracts to win and keep. I hate Elon as much as anyone but can Jalopnik just get off his junk for a second? Not everything elon musk related needs to be an article, jfc. 

They teach personal finance. People just refuse to pay attention.

I think the story is that the Lightnings are being used because they were released on time and were available, rather than being delivered 3-4 years late.

1: Given the weird (undeserved) hype, not sure there were many unsold ones.

Why do half of all YouTube thumbnails look like they are catching someone mid-shart?

The solution is to increase income. Not easy, might not actually be possible. I’d only consider selling if you end up being unable to increase your income.

How so? You think that he signs off on every single dollar spent and minute of employee time?  Maybe he made a decision to stop living the billionaire life so he can audit the vehicle fleet?  This is a big yawn.

A (very mild) counterpoint might be that using Cybertrucks as work vehicles during a period of extremely limited production would cut down on the number of Cybertrucks being delivered to customers (aka social media assholes doing stupid shit with/to their Cybertrucks)?

I went to HS in the late 2000s and learned the same. Even got to simulate playing with the stock market.

Nor do they teach how to avoid all of the predatory car dealerships that spring up around military bases like strip clubs.

Even if they do - they don’t teach impulse control.

The most surprising part of this post is that it was not a Nissan Altima

Clearly not or you’d know that’s not from GOT, that’s from Fellowship Of The Ring
