Thanks for making my point for me :)

.. and furthermore, these are 'compliance cars'. It is doubtful that gm actually cares what the critics think or say about it. As far as they are concerned, it is just a banner to help with truck sales. Guess that 'bail-out money' did not do much for gm/big oil conscience...

Thank You for that!

Who gets the approximately $500,000.00 that is left over??

Politics in america and abroad are working perfectly, we all remain divided . . . :/

Title of this thread should be " Why don't we have a Basic Minimum Income?"

Isn't that what Elon Musk said he wanted? I think he said many times :"I want to accelerate the transition to EV's". I applaud the article for having no aggressive pop-ups, but I think most probably some pinhead just wanted the words 'Tesla' and 'Screwed' put out into the world in the same sentence.

Great Article! One step closer toward making ideas manifest with thought alone. One more step toward freeing ourselves, if unwittingly, from superstition/labor/slavery.

... So AFTER the Extinction Event, are threads like this how we humans are to be discovered?? [shaking head]

Sympathy is a hard sell here . . . Most would be grateful for the experience alone. What are you grateful for today, Joe?

ob·so·lete (ŏb′sə-lēt′, ŏb′sə-lēt′) adj. 2. Outmoded in design, style, or construction: an obsolete locomotive. im·prac·ti·cal (ĭm-prăk′tĭ-kəl) adj. 1. Unwise to implement or maintain in practice: Refloating the sunken ship proved impractical because of the great expense...

[Think Terence McKenna Voice] You sound like you probably have never driven one. They kind of loan themselves to conservatory pedalistic opporatorium. I used to think they were slow drivers too, until I bought one. Are we talking about TRIGGERED Prius Drivers? If So, YIKES . . .

I don't think a purchaser in her or his right mind is not going to ask : "Exactly what am I getting if I pay you the $8000.00 ?" Claiming you did not get what you paid for after the fact only makes you look stupid. Better Call Sau-:)

No need to wait the 500 years, it's right here right now . . .

I wonder why there seem to be no sensationalized articles about men being harassed out of their jobs by women . . . / sarcasm.

Surprising they have not allowed this sooner, considering the revenues ct collects from 'annual property tax' on motor vehicles... TaxU2DeathState, I do not miss you...

Dealer here is leasing 2017's for $175/MO 2Yr If you buy used, there is a process involved for checking if the Battery is going to last or not. You may not want to have to buy a new battery from the dealer in short order.. Start reading Here before you buy... I personally would do a cheap lease...

"Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer." Beat me to it:) It would be difficult to believe Elon had not read this book . . . THE ART OF WAR BY SUN TZU His wealth and status may make him 'One Of The Boys', but I don't think 'selling out' is ever on his agenda.

Musk. By the way, if it is 'artificial' then it is not 'intelligence'.

Serious question: Does Tesla have employees or volunteers to drive these vehicles, in real time parallel to customer/owners, strictly to get the software up to speed and safe? And also: It seems to me that post #1 information would do greater good to all concerned if it were placed in the hands...

Relevant, for people who have not heard of Peter Joseph or Jacque Fresco or Buckminster Fuller: Lots of great ideas come from these people. Evolution is inevitable. I think Elon is selling the world into energy independence, which is the beginning of the end of the current federal reserve bank...

If you are offended by free speech, do not watch...

With everything else that is being innovated with Tesla cars, it would be a nifty idea to make it dent resistant, and dog resistant while they are at it . . .

Clara drove one of THESE . . . Better range! ;)

"Bayerische Motoren Werke AG's first significant aircraft engine, and commercial product of any sort, was the BMW IIIa inline-six liquid-cooled engine of 1918, known for good fuel economy and high-altitude performance.[10] With German rearmament in the 1930s, the company again began producing...

Agreed Stoney. I think most people would not want to pay $1000.00 plus $24.00 per month to have any Warranty on their vehicle Nullified. Can anyone else hear the insurance adjuster on the phone saying: " your claim has been denied" . ? Ask an uber driver about that... I like Hotz, but, he should...

When I think about solar power and electric vehicles, I think about the reduction or elimination of pollution and utility bills. When I think about Autopilot, and its implied evolution, I think about the reduction or elimination of injury and liability insurance. One group of people trying to...

I bet big oil stuffs their pockets too . .

ohh . . .:rolleyes: Swine over Pearls.. I must work on that! Thank you for cluing me in:)

I broke no laws, the police only helped with the name of his insurance company.

Schwedisch, You seem to have the same luck I have been having lately... That driving was perfect, I am glad you shared it. if you can get out safely, get out. Looks like the black SUV had same idea. I have done that before too:wink:. I have a 'Wedge' camera in my windscreen, soon there will be...

If we believe Quantum Mechanics, then a Model S IS a DeLorean and a DeLorean IS a Model S.

It is a nifty idea though.. I'd wondered why this was not even an option for the S owner up to now... In a pinch one would have a 70kwh+ battery at their disposal. Aside from Tesla making less money selling less Powerwalls, what could be the downside of using your $100,000.00 electric car to...

I'm a V1 man... Where to Mount the V1 | Valentine One | Radar Detectors Electrically, the only viable option is to wire it to the mirror/sensor 'key-in-run' 12v node. Hopefully, Tesla will make an app for a V1 display on the 17" screen before too long...

Elon is a father of five... ? [opens umbrella]

I know, right? And it's PBS so they were like: "Lets do an episode about Electric Cars and Divorce!"

Mister Rogers Neighborhood Divorce 1478 - YouTube I found this again and immediately thought of TMC. 50 mile range in 1981. We are way overdue for electric cars I think..:smile:

I would have to agree here.The natural/perfect world peak of the motor output would be pointed, and if there were slicks on the car, I wager the cutoff would remain, mostly. I doubt very highly the tripod joints used in this car, (or any IRS setup like this), could handle the full actual torque...

"Gannett Company, Inc. is a publicly traded media holding company" You can guess who is pulling the strings with the above fact alone . . .

+1. Furthermore, imagine summoning a car with your smartphone, with pre-programming to your destination. No driver input needed, no ownership required, no more auto insurance... This, and other such ideas have been mentioned by others long before the Tesla automobile was invented...

Here is my reaction, My Father and my Son were in Back:biggrin:

Steve Carrell works for TX DOT?

Thanks! So, what do you have to say about that car after a year of ownership? My favorite color:wink:

My name is Paul. I am a beginning small business owner, and have loved living in Portland Oregon USA now for about 8 years. I only discovered the Model S this past summer. I went for a test drive, finally, in October after many store visits. It has caused me to begin giving up all of my...
