Bugatti burns VWAG's cash, loses more than $6.27 million on every Veyron sold. This is actually true, but guess how many investors in VWAG actually cared? Not as many as you think. The Veyron was Ferdinand Piech's moonshot. I

That was my point. Arlington is not Boston. It is Arlington. It was incorporated in 1807 and has not been annexed by Boston since. That's not the case for former towns like Charlestown and Dorchester (which have been annexed and ar

Teslas do similar on the top-end. They don't normally charge past 80%. You can override this behavior in preparation for a long trip to ensure you have extra range available, but it reverts back to the default setting automatically a

Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, explore the idea of deploying in Boston proper. The state refused to give Verizon tax breaks years ago, so they abandoned their plans to ever deploy FiOS within Boston city limits. Surroun

Quick note: These ranges probably assume a 100% charge. Although this should be obvious, it should be noted that the Model S does not charge to 100% by default. By default it charges to 80%. This can be overridden by the user (in prepar

Do you primarily have carpet or hard flooring. Whenever I have predominantly hard flooring, the Dysons work without a fault. Plush carpet? They're just not up to that task. You need something considerably more heavily built.

Database development needs to be another option. I also agree on the higher budgets being required. For longer-term projects, even $10,000 buys absolutely nothing. For some folks, that doesn't even buy a week of their time.
