Sure, if oil companies stop getting subsidies, then it is a level playing field.

I mean, in-ground pools are just wet holes in the ground. What a weird take.

It’s definitely a shipping container - and they’re typically designed to be partially buried so you end up with something that looks like any other in-ground pool.

I’m as critical of Tesla as they come, but this is silly.

If this is a case where the VAG board is forcing him out, then I think they are making a huge mistake.

They had to pay out $10.5 million, so “won” is a little complicated.

I’m sorry, but this is a sedan! there is no rule on planet earth saying that sedans must be 3 inches from the ground. Cars from the 50's and 60's regularly had higher ride heights until over time they dropped closer and closer too the ground with the “lower longer leaner” trend. In order to qualify to be a sedan you…

GM already announced that they’re discontinuing battery packs for the Spark EV that sold between 2013-2016 🙄

None of that follows.

That’s not how that works. Yes, you bought a car, yes it has the hardware. Saying you “paid for it” is actually kind of complicated. They may not have actually charged you for it, and the revenue that comes from people opting is may be how BMW justifies the cost of installing it on all cars.

“since he paid for them.”

HOV lanes don’t cause traffic to back up in other lanes. If the HOV lane was converted into a “normal” lane, traffic wouldn’t move any faster because of induced demand. But, by having an HOV lane, it does typically ensure faster travel times for people/vehicles that are able to take advantage of it, excatly because…

I’m guessing you never bought anything on Amazon either; or been to Walmart; or bought gas; or paid taxes. 

What did Elon do to you?

I know 4 people who regret buying an EV due to Electrify America being so unreliable. Takes 5 goes for it to begin charging. It begins charging then stops 2 minutes after you walked away but doesn’t notify you. It charges but at 2% optimal speed.

Also the AV having a green light for a left turn, and the human driver continuing straight from oncoming traffic is pretty damning.

40 is normal on Geary where this accident occurred. It’s a 6-lane wide arterial road and people often drive much faster than 40 on it.

Just would like to remind everyone of what was said by a former Ferrari board chairman about BEVs and Ferrari:

I’m always amazed at how tone deaf these types of slogans are (the ‘defund the police’ movement did the same thing). It’s almost like the people saying them would prefer to have an argument - or piss people off - than engage in substantive debate.

So...why is it regrettable Tesla has such high sourcing from the US?
