Growing up I remember the trope about showing papers to do anything in the USSR. It was in direct contrast to the display of freedom in America.

It sounds like you don't drive much if you only use 3/4 of a tank in two weeks. You wouldn't have to charge much either.

3 minutes? I have to go to the gas station, it’s a lot cheaper to go to Costco. Wait for a car or two. Fill up. Costs more money. I’m glad you’d rather do that than literally 5 seconds at home. Enjoy

If people stay in terrible working conditions to maintain health insurance, I can't imagine the kinds of pressures involved when your home is tied to changing jobs.

I think you're right. If you don't want to marry, then you shouldn't do it just to make the other person happy. The problem seems to be that those same people also don't want to lose the other person by telling them th

I know quite a few married couples that will rarely discuss finances with each other, they definitely won't combine money aside from transferring each other payments through Venmo. I've seen one Venmo money for dinner and later t

I've seen reports that the airlines are hopeful they'll be back in service by early next week. At the very least they need to go through enhanced inspections, and those inspections don't seem finalized on how to perform them

Edmunds only has a few dozen reviews on a 2021 Model Y. I'm not sure that is a good source. Over half of those are 5 star. EV6 numbers are about the same. https://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-y/2021/rev

You’re right, the story is more than a sentence. You should remember though that Jasmine walked into the slums, met a poor thief and fell in love with him. He had to jump through some hoops and had a crisis of confidence before the end of

Maybe you did this many years ago, but looking at that route there are superchargers dotted all along that route.

It would also be safer to have a big car if other people didn't have big cars on the road.

I've never dealt with car/home insurance where they didnt send someone. Claims far less than what this was.

Insurance companies send a claims adjuster to inspect it themselves. They aren’t just going to fix your car unless they think it’s covered because of some type of accident. It sounds like they agreed with Tesla at their expense.

It’s quite possible you’re right. It might even be likely. But likely isn’t knowing. This wouldn’t be the first story on the internet without all the facts. I can’t imagine many people would walk away from $12k so easily. Also, why wou

Lots of people have no issues with their Tesla, just as other car makers put out some duds and inconsistent results. There is no perfect car to buy. That’s why we have warranties.

You'd have more cars constantly on the road because the smaller pool of cars has to also travel to where the people are. If I go from A to B and later from B to A, a robotaxi would also need to get to A and B when I need them. It rea

I'm not sure what bullet we have to bite and why. I'd rather the personal freedom to just drive across town and shop. Our sidewalks are great, we have bike lanes, lots of parks. What we don't have here is a lack of space.

Houston and Phoenix are 2/5 top 10 cities in America and both have a lower population density than the small farming city I live in of 50k people. America is just huge.

by frumper 3y ago
When you suggest 80% of people live in urban areas, that statistic has a threshold of 2,534.4 people/sq mi. That isn't very dense. You're leaving out a lot more than 20% from the conversation when you talk about eliminating

I fail to see how that is the comparison to make. That's what you'd make if you want to be as extreme as possible. If you'd like to compare the best selling ICE sedan with the best selling EV sedan, then you'd compare
