I have been a user for years so I have a license, but I set someone else up with it in the recent past and used iCloud to sync. There aren’t different versions of the software so I’m 99% sure anyone can sync how they’d like. It makes some a

There's a difference between literally no food at home and no fresh food. You could of course eat a can of beans that has been sitting there since Obama was in office, but you'd really rather a fresh meal.

GM and Ford happen to make (lots of) money even after they pay for the cost of building/selling/supporting their products. That said, Tesla's gross margin in the latest quarter was 13.34%[1], GM's was 13.29%[2] and Ford

You could have said the same thing about Lehman Brothers too. Debt can help hide the inevitable right up until it can't.

As of last quarter they reported $3.8B of net tangible assets, though the bulk of that is inventory (not worth so much if the company goes away!). Depending on how the next quarterly report looks like it's not hard to imagine negative

They're not meeting production goals and at the same time have been losing more money as production has increased. Both of those things are company killers that need to change ASAP. Moody's downgraded their debt and it has indeed

It should be illegal to rent out a place that you believe is an environmental hazard. If this seems onerous, imagine the landlord knew the structure had dangerous wiring and wanted to waive liability for any fire damage.

My point is that it's likely the camera view we're seeing has nothing to do with the self driving portion of the vehicle (a good hint to this is the interior view--useless to autonomous driving, but a common feature of dash cams).
