It seems to be coming around a bit, but people still talk about "taxi monopolies" and whine about how awful cities like Austin and Vancouver are to block Uber.

Well they are built off ignoring regulation, so I guess they just figure they will get away with ignoring laws against monopolies.

If Uber grows to a point where they can set their prices to get a reasonable profit margin. If their competitors can't really undercut and make money then they have to rely on VCs who are willing to burn cash to help a competitor grow.

I don't understand. Uber's a disruptive startup, surely that means they are right. Regulations are for companies that aren't startups disrupting. Taxpayers should be able to be disrupted by startups.

I would love it if they would do another roadster (or coupe) like this.

It's like saying a multitool is more versatile than a hammer. It's true, but a multitool still makes a shitty hammer. If I want a hammer and you hand me a multitool I'm gonna be disappointed.

Okay, but then don't make comparisons to cars like the 918 and LaFerrari. Or call it the fastest production car. Quickest maybe, even that is debateable. Quickest 0-60, sure.

> Tesla Model Truck P100D w/Ludicrous Speed Upgrade Someone was too eager to edit the wiki page. oh look, the model is better than a second slower on the 1/4 mile than the Ferrari/Porsche. Slower than the Audi R8 V10 too.

by serge2k 10y ago
The ferrari and porsche aren't meant to be versatile. They will beat the Tesla every time at what they are meant to do. On the other hand, the Tesla is a much better family sedan.

Other companies don't sell them. They bailed for various reasons, and the expense of getting in just isn't worth it. If you develop an EpiPen and it costs you a bunch of money then in theory you can make it up by selling more volu

No, we would have just bought new F-18s from the US. Canada and the US are about the 2 closest allies you can find. Integrating with the larger US military makes sense, especially with Russia around.

The US spends a huge amount on healthcare too. Poor returns, but a huge amount spent.
