"I'd start with the cap table and look for direct or indirect participation" I can imagine it's hard to get this kind of info, it's not that cap tables are public and sometimes they don't even exist at all, esp

Easier than doing it the first couple times: whoever came up with the improvement first, before this knowledge was institutionalized within the organization/field.

They look good on the outside... and that's about it. Btw, Apple has discontinued them and hasn't announced any replacement yet.

You can live in a similar house with great schools in the east bay for 800k so that's about $4000 payment, very doable to live comfortably and even save up a bit making $160k/year.

Really easy to just click away and before you know it an hour has passed. If you're into this type of thing check out Game Dev Story from Kairosoft (same but you're building a game company).

Yes! My previous (A6) and current (S6) Audi's can basically do the same (and could for years!) without all the hype. Whenever I show it to friends they seem to be amazed it's possible and, until then, thought only Tesla was capabl

But isn't he part of the problem then? He has a big mouth but just as entitled and 'elite' as everyone else, except he lacks all the good traits of a leader. Whenever something doesn't go his way he resorts to acting lik

Regardless of political affiliation, it baffles me a person like Trump can get even close to being president. Disclosure: I'm European and not allowed to vote in the US (yet)

I'm not in sales, however in my current role I get to talk to a lot of sales people and it seems that most of them don't (and don't have time to) use any fancy tools at all, especially the successful ones. Also the last two c

Is it? Tesla has been mass producing cars with that range since 2012 now. GM being able to put the same range on a $30k car is just batteries getting cheaper.

by tinbad 10y ago
I give credit to GM for being able to scrape its parts bin for the last 4 years to come out with a car that's slightly better than the 5 year old Leaf. However it still shows a company that is clueless about the future and has no real

I'm genuinely amazed every time there's an Apple keynote and people act this surprised. With every major new release Apple has been taking away legacy and pushing forward, often compromising compatibility.

Why is this being removed? If anything, it's a great satirical rant about aspects of our industry that I found refreshing to read and break up my day.

Exactly, what I mean by doesn't add up is not sustainable long term. I really wonder in 1-2 years from now when all these EVs flood the market. 3 year old Leafs already sell for 6-7k, crazy!

Yes scrapping is a bit extreme and I'm sure someone will buy them for way below the residual value but I just used it to get the point across of the economics of these cheap leases. It just doesn't add up.

In the case of these ultra cheap EVs the bank is the financing arm of the manufacturer. Of course no normal financial institution will take such a loss but because of CAFE regulations the only way they can kee selling high profit margin, ga

You're comparing a 100k luxury Tesla with a $80/month lease. Yes I understand the EV market is maturing and will find more niches while it develops but least not ignore the reality of the $49/month EV (yes you can lease a Gol

Let me explain how these leases work, MSRP for OPs Chevy Spark EV is in the 25k ball park, lessen the 7k government incentives is 18k. If OP is paying 80/mo (we don't know if that payment includes sales tax but let's say even

Hate to say it but this is part of the problem. There's nothing sustainable about these manufacturer/government sponsored lease deals. California is the biggest offender with the largest incentives and unreal regulations. A car is
