Look up Tesla’s debt compared to every other large auto company. They also don’t waste any money on advertising. They don’t have to deal with as many third party parts providers eating away at their profits. They’re not beholden to unions o

Yea I never understood why there's such a crusade to go after people with pictures of nude children on their phones/computers but no one seems to give a shit about someone who collects footage of people (children included!) being

Or what about Nigeria and India based scam artists ripping off thousands and thousands of elderly Americans on a daily basis? I think in India it’s turned into an entire industry by now. Is there really nothing American law enforcement can

Look at the formula for discounted cash flow. It's a widely used valuation model and applies to lots of companies, especially those in the growth phase where current market cap is largely dependent on expected cash flow far into the fu

That works in places that kept good records, but I have to imagine the vast majority of counties don't have those records. Plus I'm sure many people got infected and stayed home with mild/moderate cases and never got tested (

And how do you suppose we figure out who has natural immunity and thus doesn’t have to get vaccinated? Do we trust people to tell us (if they even know for sure that the fever/cough they had a year ago was covid)? That won’t work, I kn

Yea I agree, I think we'll be even worse off if only the anti-science crowd decides to procreate...

Maybe because they don't stop emitting carbon when they move out at 18? And then go on to have kids and grandkids of their own, who in turn also emit more carbon?

I said crypto generally, not just Bitcoin, as the article in this post is not only focused on Bitcoin but crypto in a broad sense.

Just because there are a large number of market participants involved purely for speculation does not mean we can just ignore those who are there for genuine commercial transactions. What percent of people who buy oil futures contracts inte

Bitcoin is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. The fact that it satisfies a certain set of conditions of a Ponzi scheme does not invalidate the myriad current and future applications of crypto. The social security admini

Really? Which camps or day cares have sexually abused hundreds of thousands of kids?

Why anyone would continue to support the Catholic Church -much less bring their children there - is totally astounding to me

Reforms? What about completely shutting the whole thing down. What other institution out there would be able to be responsible for such an unbelievable level of abuse and not get prosecuted/sued into oblivion?

Of all the big tech companies Facebook is the only one where it can completely disappear overnight and my life would be completely unaffected (or possibly improved by not having to explain to people I don't use facebook, please email o

Just because there’s technically no mechanism within the protocol to reverse the transaction does not suddenly make it legal to keep the money right? You could spend all the money accidentally wired to you and have nothing left to your name

If someone accidentally wires you too much money, or wires money to the wrong account, is it not illegal to keep the money?

I thought bats are just rabies carriers and don’t exhibit any symptoms of the disease?

That is absolutely ridiculous

It is how risk works. You assume any and all risks when you buy the home, including the ones you don’t know about.

FSD regularly drives me on highways for hours without intervention…pretty amazing stuff considering where we were 5 years ago…say what you will about it, it’s not vaporware and gets better every update

I agree, it definitely takes a bit of time but to compare it to Mozart is ludicrous

Not everyone wants to be a homeowner. A lot of people enjoy the flexibility of being able to just pay the monthly rent and not worry about anything else, and being free to move on a whim when they need to. You expect the owner of the proper

I routinely go entire drives without touching the brakes at all. Have you ever test driven a Tesla before?
657.
by jliptzin 5y ago
Yes but my point was that situations like these are the exception not the norm, usually these batteries degrade slowly and you should be able to get at least a few hundred thousand miles out of them before it needs to be replaced (assuming

Nobody is writing news articles about people who drive their Teslas without any issues. I’ve had my model 3 for over 2 years, not a single issue, no oil changes, no maintenance done on it whatsoever. 25k miles.

I have the same unit from them, it's great. But I am worried about how long it will last - is yours covered or did you add any protective coating to the outside wood?
