So I tried autotrader. Set it to 35k price, new cars, ‘17-’18 model year, sedans.

$32k is the average new car price right now. Model 3 seems at the very least to be a pretty average car. You could also consider the fuel savings. A comparable car (lets say 10k/yr @28mpg @$2.25/g) will use $2,400 in fuel in the first 3 years that the model 3 will not.

I’m not sure how desirable the fanboys think it will be, but I think it will be very competitive with other cars in the same price range. It’s a great second car for a 2 car household that has dedicated, preferably covered parking. For that market (which is pretty large) it’s somewhat better than a conventional ICE.

That’s a disadvantage that they are very familiar with.

Cars accumulate dings over time. The best way to have one that is free of dings is to buy a new one. Keeping a 20 y/o car looking like new costs close to what a new one does.

Please. How nice of a car someone drives has a great deal more with their bank balance than it does with their driving ethics.

So, the 90's are back?

Monopolies require some form of protection. A resource monopoly is the only kind that can exist naturally (A company can buy out all the unobtanium mines, and then charge whatever it wants for unobtanium, assuming people can’t start using something else instead). But this doesn’t really work in other fields. Suppose…

Well, they did say “vital”

That’s the way immigration worked for most of human history.

“Vehicle to Vehicle, or V2V communication, is vital to the autonomous car revolution.”

Not inconvenient, impossible.

I’m not sure what the cost to tax payers would be here (unlike other institutions USCIS is funded by fees it charges immigrants. They tend to be considerable), but you’re right extensions are not a resolution. As far as I know under current law extensions is the best she can hope for. It’s far from perfect, but they…

Under Obama, she would not have gotten legal status (that would take an act of congress, a president cannot make someone a citizen), but she would have likely not been deported. She could have gotten one extension after another, and if DAPA wasn’t stopped by the courts, she could have gotten that (I think), which…

An amnesty, or a complete reform of immigration laws. Aside from that, nothing.

Shares. They sell shares.

Bad decision making process hurts everyone.

Obama changed the definition of deported to include those turned away at the border. So a proper comparison is impossible. He also tried to pass the dream act, signed daca, and tried to expand it and sign dapa. I think he was considerably friendlier to immigrants than trump.

I think in that case the problem was excessive force during the “re accommodation” procedure, which is hopefully a rarer occirance. But I take your poit

15k would do it. 0.1% is certainly insignificant.
