   There are a lot of conversations about road trips in a Tesla. I have a Model S and have done a few. I honestly believe that is indeed an increased hassle to stop for Supercharging every few hours. I have done it a few times, and these days

   As a Tesla owner I absolutely want Tesla to sell the whole package. I was a long time BMW owner and hated their joke of an iDrive system. Tesla is a software first company and constantly improves the customer experience. My car today is act

   Tesla has come a long way when 70k cars manufactured and 63k delivered is considered a bad result. 10 years back they were making 10 cars a quarter

   This data point has no correlation with the headline. As Tesla has no problem selling Model 3s - the car with absolutely no buttons. The market has spoken and there is overwhelming support for no button car. Deliver reduction is primarily d

   His comment is self evident. Indians = heartless. Westerner = savior. That movie has been played hundreds of times. I don’t have time to debate such useless conclusions.

    Oh boy. This is such a naive Western POV and sounds incredibly condescending.

    There is no truth to that as it will be difficult for Indians to know which caste another person is from if they are both not from the same place. For example, I am from eastern India and I have no clue if Sundar Pichai is Brahmin or not as

    This is showing base comp. I am talking about total comp. Total comp [includes equity and bonus] >200K in Bay Area and Seattle are very very common

    200K base is not uncommon (after all the median here is 150k), but total comp >200K is very common.

    I used to be a little pissy when first SF and then CA banned single use plastic, but now cannot imagine life with plastic bags for groceries. I have a few reusable bags and use them for 90% of my grocery shopping. I keep them in my car. In

    I made ~300K selling my first home. And have already accrued ~500K in home equity for my current home. This is bad financial advice. I have seen people posting in this forum over many years how buying in SV is a bad financial move. When , I

    Unemployment, economy, stock market, GDP - all have been on the exact same trajectory post the 2009 recession. We would have been exactly here even if a tree was the President. The only thing that got worse economically was the Federal defi

    While this is ideal, time and again it has been proved that an energized base and a demoralized opposition is the best chance at winning election. A passive middle will not win you anything.

    I am sincerely hoping for Beto to blow up. We need someone like Beto because 1. He is young 2. He was a hacker [we need people in politics that understand the most important driver of commerce now] 3. He was in a punk band 4. He is from Tex

    $50bn is total bookings, which is impressive. Revenue, I believe is $11bn runrate. But that doesn’t address cash flow depletion. I do believe they have runway though
