Has there been any retaliation against lab grown diamonds? Seems like they're starting to become a popular alternative.

oh please. they're putting money into R&D and into the ramp up. Your statement makes it sound like they're using the money to wipe their @$$es. No, they're putting the money to work. And if the analysts and shareholders d

I wonder what the handling will be like. Teslas on the track have had over heating issues, and cornering performance has been just average at best. Not every exotic car owner (Ferrari, Lambo, Mclaren) brings their car to the track, but I fe

So many people hoping for some juicy unveiled features...nope. Perhaps what we see is what we get.

I’m in Hawaii this week and the livestream page has a countdown timer that’s showing 2.5 hours to go. I found a YouTube livestream from a fan that’s decent. So if you’re also having problems, go here: https://youtu.be/cBZeJa

Actually, these ads are a little smarter (more likely poorly programmed). I've waited and tried to time it out, and no X appeared. A few times, I was presented with the "click here to install" modal window with no other optio

The Sonic game uses the most vile type of in-app ad. The ad requires you to play Game of War for some indeterminate amount of time. You are made to play it after every stage. I hope Sega changes this, it basically makes their game unplayabl

FWIW, the drive software on the car is independent of the displays. So, pressing the pedal, braking and steering is probably very well tested. I've had the main drivers screen crash on me and I have no idea how fast I'm going (fol

I'm sorry this happened to you. These are the things that scare me about the Model 3 ramp up to 500k cars/year. Hard to do and they want to do it fast. Their track record for the smaller details isn't the greatest, and when y

That's just one of the problems with the whole stock options tax rules. You really have to pay to play (triple taxation!), and it makes the golden handcuffs so much more more worse. You see a lot of people doing short term sales becaus

Yes, that's true a lot of people opt to not get it because of the cost to fix it. But, a lot of "packages" will require it. Like on the Model S if you get the fastest option you can't unbundle the air suspension. (Update

If something fails on your car after the warranty period, should it be replaced for free then? It's great that some parts last for much longer than the warranty, but don't kid yourself in thinking that Toyota would honor a ball jo

Most people I know that live in peninsula and south bay of silicon valley have a 10-25 mile commute (1-way) and it would be a huge inconvenience to not have a car. You can't get around with just Uber down here.

How often do you drive that distance? Sure, there are people that take road trips of 200+ miles often, and then it may be more convenient for them to refuel quickly. But the majority doesn't do that very often.

That's the retail price (and who says they have to justify it). You can find them for a little less than $600 on eBay and other retailers. You don't have to buy all the sensors they bought for CarPlay to function. http:/&#x2

As an example - Official Apple Stores have hurt mom&pop Apple stores. Apple ultimately makes money either way, but they make more money if they sell them at their own Apple store. Why would you go to the mom&pop store if an Apple st

Why can't it be as simple as this: If you sell direct, you can't have dealers. If you have dealers, you can't sell direct. Are dealers afraid that manufacturers like Toyota or Ford would just go up and undercut them? I doubt
