I have a non-Autopilot Model S, but had the opportunity to drive an Autopilot equipped Model X for about 1000 miles recently. It really can only be used reliably on pretty clean driving conditions (by clean, I mean, not complicated). The system gives you a ton of information as to what its doing, so you can predict…

The numbers here are garbage. The real published numbers are:

I was skeptical of the numbers, so I looked.

My point, as I mentioned a couple of posts up, I would much rather have a Model X (which was what this article was about) than a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. And I gave my reasons.

Well, considering the Trackhawk is $92k loaded, $86k base, and I bought my Model S P85 for $73k (Certified Pre-Owned), I’m already far ahead on the fuel costs over the 30,000 miles I’ve driven it. I’m over $19k ahead over the base Trailhawk, and over $25k ahead of a fully loaded Trailhawk, and that number just keeps…

Not me. I had the opportunity to have a Model X 90D for 3 weeks, and I drove it over 1,000 miles over that time and paid pennies to run it that distance (thanks mainly to the Supercharger network). The Trackhawk would have cost me hundreds to drive the same distance in fuel, and wouldn’t have driven any better/worse.

Another contributing factor is there was nothing significant geographically there for these roadways to inherit names too. They were just arterials from one place to another. Add in the number shifting and you get “the” to identify the stretch.

It only happens in So Cal. I’m from the Bay Area and I’ve never heard 280…

5 series is comfortably into the $130k range when you include the M5 (or even M6, which is the “GrandCoupe” M5)

I sent my 1985 Volvo 740 wagon to the grave for this reason.

I don’t have a dog, but here’s a picture of my cat Hugh, who suffers from apprehensively-surprised resting face:

If you’re waiting 8-10 hours in an emergency room, you aren’t as injured as the people being taken straight in. That is a fact around the entire world, and it has nothing to do with whether its a nationally run health care system or private.

Your health insurance costs $2000 every two weeks or month?

I’ve started looking for random stickers from countries I’ve traveled to and stick them on my water bottle. For example, I have an entry ticket sticker from a museum in San Francisco right next to a little Japanese sticker I peeled off a banana, next to a cartoon streetcar sticker for Taksim Square in Istanbul...

A friend of mine lives in a newer, posher neighborhood than mine. You know the type, CC&Rs, people worried about weeds in the cracks, what their neighbors houses and yards look like, how many cars are parked on the street. They even have their own white oval “country” sticker with a clever acronym for their…

I actually have way more than 3 bumper stickers, but they’re not on my car. They’re in an envelop in a drawer in my house and I refuse to throw them out. At first, it was because I didn’t want to put the bumper sticker on my car, but thought I’d still use it on something. Now I just can’t throw them out because some…

There’s a cider company here in town that buys white Chevy cargo vans to use for distribution. They wallpaper the vans from top to bottom, front to back with the company’s bumper stickers which are just black with white letters.

Um, have you seen the banks of the Hudson or the East River?

Psst, Elon Musk is South African...
