If you want to coast, you have to apply slight pressure to the accelerator. It doesn't use battery. It's a little weird at first, but you get used to it in a couple days, then it's second nature.

What advantage would Tesla gain picking up all the dead weight that GM has, with its dealerships, unions, pensions, and huge factories dedicated to building ICE's?

A big empty frunk makes the car a lot safer and filling it with batteries would make it a lot more expensive. I agree with your general point, but at the same time, the cost of batteries are getting exponentially cheaper. It's just a

I believe that if people drove exactly the samemas before, they wouldn't get full benefit of regen, but I don't believe people will drive the same as before. I know I don't. Driving without ever using the brakes in my Model

Supercharging just costs a few dollars, and is way cheaper than buying gas. You can still brag about it.

Back in 2004-ish when I was having a lot of success with Google ads, it was display ads across their partner network as well as search ads. Recently only text ads on Google.com for search, PC desktop only. It's the same big giant list

We temporarily track with IP addresses. When someone goes to the landing page, we temporarily record the IP address and where the traffic came from, and then if they actually run the installer within a few days, we link up the install with

Yeah, in 2004, I could get a new paying user from Adwords for $35. Since about 2007+, the cost seems roughly infinite no matter how I try to tweak it.

The only prominent thing to click on from the landing page is the download link, and the ads are only showing to desktop users.

I tried Adwords for search again recently after several years. There was a decent number of clicks, and the cost per "action" seemed very reasonable, where for me, the action is clicking on the download link from the landing page

I wonder if the Libertarian party would be more successful if they chose just one issue to push?

So far, it seems that Teslas are so great that they sell themselves. The more Teslas on the road, the more demand gets created for Teslas as more and more people are exposed to them.

I'm using a Kinesis Freestyle 2 split keyboard with a separate num pad in between the left and the right side. Works nicely for me.

Because the economy doesn't just magically grow or shrink. It grows when entrepreneurs drive the growth with new and expanding businesses or technologists invent transformative technologies. But those people will earn an outsize chun

I'm sure there are as many reasons as people, but I would guess one common thread might be that the ones who came here legally resent the ones that broke the law to come here.

And the interstate commerce clause had come to mean that the federal government can do almost anything.

Which is why rent control doesn't address the root causes of the housing problems, and in fact only makes things worse in the long run. It's just virtue signaling without regard to the results.

How is Uber unethical? They aren't forcing anyone to do anything. Maybe you could say they are fraudulent because the contractors don't understand the true costs/benefits of providing their own car, but isn't that a bi

I would guess it's because their labor is not worth minimum wage plus all the extra overhead costs of a full time employee. It's people trying to get by despite stupid price controls that don't reflect reality.

There's obviously going to be some of that from people in every sort of car. The hope is that over all, people with AP are safer. I personally feel like I am.

My experience with autopilot isn't that I lose focus as much as I focus on something else. Instead of focusing on keeping in my lane, not going too fast, and if the car ahead of me is braking, I'm focusing on the road ahead -- is

244 Wh/mi over 17,000 miles in a Model 3 LR. That's really close to the rated 310 miles for the 75 kw battery. The vast majority of my miles are driving 72 mph on the freeway.

Once we get self driving, there could be far fewer cars per person. If you amortize that part of the bar chart of emissions which comes from producing the vehicle and divide it by, say, 20, and continue to develop new solar and wind farms,

I gun the shit out of my Tesla at a green light, but look far ahead and slowly ease to a stop using regen braking only. Regen braking and one pedal driving is a nice incentive to not waste energy with brakes, and as EV's become more p

If you don't have a huge commute every day, a 110v "trickle charge" is actually quite adequate. A Model 3 gets about 5 mph charge on a 110 outlet. That's at least 60 miles over night and 120 miles in 24 hours. You can a

But saying that there are a limited number of jobs is exactly falling for that fallacy. There are as many jobs are there are people who want to work. There can be other problems, like not enough entrepreneurs, too many regulations, not en

I was playing a Moba with my brother almost every day, talking on voice while we played. I had to quit because the Moba was really sucking up all my drive and free time, but after quitting, I really missed talking with my brother. I start

That's a very good rebuttal, but it doesn't address the point that the premium apps are forced to shoulder more than their share of the load for operating the app store, right? Would there be some way for Apple to charge apps for
