Can’t you just polish off the old serial number and engrave a new one?

Chumlee would pay 10% above retail.

Apparently they had it in a hidden safe. The assumed security requirements make insurance fraud more likely, not less.

The Cartier bangle cited was listed at £80k. Expensive, but not exactly millions.

Rich people do stupid and illegal things for no perceptible reason on a regular basis. Remember Winona Ryder?

You’re probably right. If anyone would like to provide me with an heiress’s lifestyle for research purposes, just let me know.

Jewelry is very rarely worth more than the sum of its parts. The high end of the market is highly variable, as well.

I mean, it sounds kind of fun to maintain 47 safe deposit boxes. Since we’re working from your false dichotomy of 47 or zero, I’ll say 47.

Beyond a certain point, it starts to become unusual. It’s not odd to keep cash at home, but if I said I kept $10 million in paper money in my house, that would seem weird, would it not?

I’m betting the real value of the metal and stones is a small fraction of £50M. Also, who needs that much jewelry on-hand in one place? I smell insurance fraud.

I don’t know what the point of this article is; I didn’t write it. It doesn’t mean much unless you know that the calculation behind the Taycan’s EPA rating is unique from other EVs.

Right, so instead of a RWD CLAR X1/2-series GC, we get a FWD UKL X1/2-series GC, and the old RWD 2-series Coupe will eventually get replaced or die off.

That would never happen to a Speedmaster Professional owner. Manual wind FTW.

That’s no guarantee. I give Elon a lot of shit, but if it weren’t for him, electric vehicles would still be extremely niche. Even with the pressure you speak of, truly competitive EVs have been few and far between.

Or large multi-national companies are too risk-averse and/or too slow to develop these ideas.

I want to say Mercedes has had this for a while, but it might be a Europe-only feature. 

I would generally agree, but it still helps to have the option of salting. I live in Seattle, and I think it was 2010 when there was enough snow and overnight freezing to where a solid 2 inches of ice covered all the roads for a week. Everything shut down, and after a few days it was clear the ice wasn’t going to…

They limit usable battery capacity to 90%. It's a small limitation, but it's there.

It very well could be both crap efficiency and limited battery capacity. I know Porsche said they’re limiting the battery capacity, but I’m not sure if it’s any more than Tesla does.

Right, but instead of a 4-door version of the RWD 2-series Coupe, we’re getting a swoopy version of the FWD 1-series sedan. Instead of, not in addition to.
