Yeah, it would be brilliant. You’d need nearly zero permanent infrastructure, the only things you do need to build are things that will be used by the public afterwards, spreading things out a bit helps solve the crowds and people-moving aspects of the Olympics, but it’s all still close enough together that you can…

The more I think about this, the more I like the idea of a megalopolis Olympics. You could have events spread out between say, Boston, New York, Philly. (So, NYC has track and field, Philly has swimming, Boston gets gymnastics and I dunno, whatever else is left.) Visitors could go back and forth if they wanted on…

They cant report negative things. the IOC will kick any news out of any access to the games that say anything negative.

And Aussies are used to living in an environment that seems to be engineered for the sole purpose of constantly trying to kill them.

No one wants to host the Olympics on the IOC’s terms.

Yes there are. The idea that a city has to build every facility from the ground up is totally assanine. The idea that the games has to be consolidated into one place is assanine. There are facilities ready to go across the US that can host the games adequately with no need for new construction. Same with many other…

Can’t we just forget this. He was an ass to her during an acceptance speech. She tried to make him look like an even bigger ass, but just made herself look like one.

The point was that they have done a bond offering when it came down to it. As far as if they will chose to use stock or bonds or fund it out of gross profits we will have to see. They will chose whatever makes the most sense at the time.

Actually, JerryJones, you do have to refuel, because..well you care REQUIRES FUEL to run...does it not? The point that educated people are making to you is that when they get home at night, they can plug in the car, and be ready to go the next day. They NEVER have to stop at a gas station. NEVER. You, however, cant…

Did you mean to say “funding”? Or “founding”?

Sure, a Chevy plasticky cheapo product (just sit in a Volt) for $37,500 will destroy a Model 3 which will, for not much more money, have Autopilot, supercharging, the very latest tech, and all the gimmicks you want. I mean, the Bolt doesn’t even have adaptive cruise.

Bolt is a FWD econobox with a near-lux price. Tesla 3 is a near lux car with more features and performance at similar price points. As an owner of both the Volt and Spark EV I don’t think GM has anything close to the 3, and the Bolt’s specs and performance numbers says it all: it’s a bean counter’s car, just like most…

We have a Tesla Model-S and it’s fit and finish is perfect.

Not counting the time to drive to the station. And Haggi is happily charging his car at might while he sleeps, waking up every morning with a full charge while you’re spending time to go to a gas station every week or so to fill up. If you drive so much each day that a nightly charge won’t accommodate your daily…

“My stop at the gast station averages 3-4 minutes...”

That’s a load of crap. I took an 850 mile trip this weekend. The first stop was a restroom break that my wife said she would have asked for had we not been stopping. We literally didn’t stay there a moment longer than we had to. The next stop was for lunch, and the car charged exactly as much as it could while we ate.…

The infrastructure argument isn't an issue. Is it an issue for Hydrogen? Sure. Electricity is literally all around, look above your head, power lines are everywhere. You only need to build or license recharging stations.

30 minutes gets you to 80% and the people doing road trips in the Model S have said the stop is actually nice to have. Not all that bad.

People that complain about the fit and finish of the Tesla are always people that either don’t own one or it’s their first car at that price. From someone of the perspective who started off driving cars in that price range I can say that fit and finish can be pretty terrible in everything from a bog standard Nissan to…

I don't get this comment. Are you both scorning Tesla-haters AND agreeing with them ?
