“Real pragmatists know that if want to be “green” you can buy a small used car with fuel economy high in the 30s and zero industrial production waste”

Sorry, but “zero industrial production waste” simply doesn’t exist.

Anyone actually have these? Are they actually any good? I saw them yesterday at a local store at significantly better prices - $25 for the 100 ft. version....

Putting in a prefab tunnel would potentially reduce the navigable depth of the river to ~20 ft at its deepest unless you dredged out a significant trench to sink the tunnel. Then you’d still have the challenge of tunneling from the prefab back to the lines that already exist.

Its sad how bad our mass transit functions and looks. While so much of the USSR was a complete disaster, I do remember using their mass transit and being floored by how efficient, clean, and, fancy it was compared to ours.

Seriously? Those satellites don’t have anywhere near the resolution, accuracy, or real-time availability necessary to pinpoint the fine level of data needed to understand tornadoes.

5th: Yes, they’re nuts in thinking they’ll be able to achieve that goal.

But they also might have to if they want to survive. Their financials are still pretty darned ugly.

Because Tesla has never come close to meeting its promised production dates?

A 20 point movement really isn’t that big. I’ve seen my score jump 48 points in a single month before with no significant changes in actual details on my record. I’ve also seen it drop as much as 29 points in a single month with no clear underlying explanation (lower mortgage balances and cc balances at reporting time…

With all due respect, in your story about selling your Mazda3, you wouldn’t have come off too well to the potential buyer, either. Why? Because you told him you wouldn’t take $10.5k when the dealer was offering $11k, but failed to mention what a threshold price would be to consider taking the private party deal. The…

Batteries are much cheaper for large manufacturers. GM has been paying ~$150/kWh. Some new tech is looking promising for hitting closer to $30/kWh, but that’s a ways off still...

There had better be other features added as part of that markup. My first impression was similar to yours. That’s a huge markup for a small benefit otherwise. Maybe they’re trying to finally reach profitability....

Well, my friend, you’re an ignorant ass.

The person tailgating and driving recklessly precludes any movement.

Because Tesla’s service model is MUCH more expensive than anything at Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, or Mercedes.

I thought the same, but then we don’t see all the details - if they’re taking a block of rubber and heating it to press it into the hole and fuse the plug with the surrounding tire, then cutting off the excess, the extra weight essentially wouldn’t exist.

Until you do what I did once, and slam the hood down on the cap. :)

Anyone who thinks the free market is anywhere close to perfect isn’t paying attention.

Also, marketing rules, but marketing doesn’t make a product better.

Then they tried to kill their own:

What sort of disfunctional family doesn’t talk this through ahead of time, though? :) Or what sort of disfunctional family would split up to multiple locations for an indefinite period of time?

I agree on the residency requirements for the most part. Rarely it would make sense (mayor, for example, or a few other…

Here I was expecting that he would be living in NY or PA and didn’t want to move a short distance and incur the potentially high expenses of such a move.

But Virginia? What was the guy thinking of when he accepted the job if he wasn’t willing to leave Virginia? Did he really think he could work from there?

Better handling, better performance, better comfort, cheaper price, and just as long lasting. You can do better than a Toyota in nearly every segment. Again, that doesn’t mean the Toyota is awful, but Toyota fans are rather pretentious about how their cars must be the best.
