    It is a wonder that there are any more people living in Cabot Cove with people being killed every week.

    This....unreal level of professional incompetence.

    Where I live if you made those choices for your children you would most likely attract a lot of attention from certain social agencies. Or perhaps you would be Amish. For sure you would be doing a poor job of equipping them for life in the modern world.

    IDK. I'm not an Elon or Tesla fan and I don't follow the gossip about it. I'm just saying what makes sense. But the vehicles you mention would fall right into the "cutting edge" category in my mind.
  8. CygnusX-1
    I heard that they fired their whole new products and vehicle development team too. So much for cutting edge vehicles. They only want to focus on FSD, AI, robo-taxi, and Tesla-Bot. Am I wrong? Or was that just anti-Tesla FUD.
  9. CygnusX-1
    That is not quite true. In advanced economies, we CHOOSE to make them expensive. We could also choose to make our offspring live like they do in poorer countries. We could build mud huts for them to live in. Give them only 1 pair of good clothes that they wear to school. The rest of the time they would only be shirtless & barefoot working out in the field to help the family. There is no reason for them to have that expensive IPhone, toys, computers, or a college education. These are all choices we make, not the fact that we live in 'advanced economies'.

    They want to build cutting edge vehicles. Not fuel stations. For a while they needed to do both, but no longer. It is among the first signs that the industry is beginning to become a little more mature.

    Thank you!

    I totally agree that it seems way pre-mature, if the goal is to transition to other networks taking over. Especially since they announced version 4 of the supercharger. I can't say for everywhere, but around here, when the transition went from V2 to V3, Tesla did not upgrade V2 stalls. They just built all new V3 stations. That IMO doesn't bode well for V4 stalls. Especially with them announcing that new stations will be very much reduced. That doesn't mean that they could change to now upgrading the existing stations to V4. But I've seen no mention of that in any press.

    Trump's lawyers actually said this in court when arguing for a mistrial: "We are talking about somebody who’s going to go out and campaign this afternoon!” Stormy Daniel's testimony was “extraordinarily prejudicial” intended only “to embarrass” Trump and “to inflame the jury.” The sight of a Trump surrogate whining that someone said some really mean things meant to rile up the base and embarass a political enemy is . . . the very definition of irony.

    I made one at a Confederate air show when I had 30 or so jumps; using a friend’s cheapo. We were the landing on Normandy Beach. Wendy P.

    Oh yeah. Take a cheap shot at a Black woman just because Black people like sex more than White people and Orange people.

    Dropping out of the bomb bay might be a bit tricky, although memorable. I back rolled a tandem out of the side door of one a while back. Fun stuff.

    I read that too, and there likely is truth to it, but one counterpoint to the "irrational Elon" narrative is the fact that in Europe and in China, the Tesla fast charging network is now a small percentage of the total installed fast chargers. China i think just a few percent, and Europe around 15 percent. So the argument is that Elon is seeing the writing on the wall and deciding that the US will also follow suit, other networks will get their shit together and take over, especially since the Tesla connector has largely become the standard for charging connectors now. Still feels way pre-mature to me.
