Republicans were against taxes, and also worried about the debt. Why aren’t they stopping this nonsense?

2nd Gear: I was about to post a snarky comment about how I bought a nicely loaded Ranger XLT in ‘98 for $18k, then I remembered I should run it through an inflation calculator first. The result: $27,876.

Agreed.

A public corporation is beholden to their shareholders.

This current trend of companies bending over backwards for idiot shareholders needs to end.  Just look at General Electric to see why.  

Finance should be a required class in high school or before you make any car purchases. Time value of money blows minds.

What predictions have I been wrong in?

I literally run the capital structure of a blue chip. You’ve consistently proven you don’t understand the basic concepts of finance much less the operation profitability and forecasting.

Used model s are $40k. They were $120k. No reason not to think the model 3 will approximate the same depreciation. 

Let’sbe more realistic. The $35k won't come ever. :)

Can you stop pretending you understand the fundamentals of a company?

“Most definitely”.

Is the $45k version profitable?

Libertarianism is intellectually lazy and morally bankrupt.

You mean the group that wants to destroy public education?  I see what you did there...

Tesla Recalls Thousands of Models Over Sudden Right Turn

Yeah but polar bears are dying. The ice caps are breaking apart. What’s your point?
We’re also getting hit with major hurricane after major hurricane. This whole climate change and global warming thing seems to be fucking us over pretty clearly.

CAFE averages use footprint of the vehicle, and vehicles classified as trucks get to meet a lower standard. So an Escape is going to be allowed to get worse fuel economy than a Focus.

God you Tesla fanbois are easily triggered....
