No way they're not going to settle that wal mart lawsuit for an undisclosed sum. Any protracted lawsuit is going to reveal some very, very inconvenient things

Sedisp posted:Because it is a capitalism problem pollution is literally the first example any economics class will use as a market failure. While I don't have numbers on all different kinds of pollution put together, the CO2 pollution numbers do not quite agree with your statements. Judging by data from 2014, the US had CO2 emissions in metric tons per capita at around 16.5 (down ~27% from 22.5 in 1973), while Qatar in 2014 had CO2 emissions in metric tons per capita of 43.9, followed by Curacao at 37.7 with Trinidad and Tobago at 34. The US is high up when only looking at "the West", but still got beaten out by Luxembourg. By comparison, China was only at 7.5 back in 2014, but that's up by 177% from 2.7 in 2001 or 581% from 1.1 around 1974 and likely still rising. While the US is the country with the second highest total CO2 emissions at about 5.2 billion metric tons in 2014, China has almost twice the total CO2 emissions at just under 10.3 billion metric tons in 2014. China would likely be even higher if they were not constantly expanding that massive railroad network. India is 3rd at roughly 2.2 billion metric tons and while likely continue to rise for a while as they grow wealthier. They may even overtake the US in the not too distant future. While the US seems to have peaked around the 2004-2007 timeframe and has declined a little since then in CO2 emissions, China's emissions were still rising as recently as 2013 to 2014. General pollution has historically also been just as bad (or far worse) in say... communist countries like China, the Soviet Union, East Germany and many other countries around central or eastern Europe. I'm not saying the US doesn't have problems, they clearly do (as do the rest of us). I'm just saying that many of the problems of the US are not inherently a general capitalism issue. Some are more US specific, like the culture of building everything around The Car™, and most of the others happen regardless of government types.

New Buyer Questions (self.teslamotors) I ordered a Model 3 (Red Performance) on July 21 and July 22nd a VIN was assigned. They immediately assigned me a delivery date of July 25th. I had yet to finalize the financing and insurance and needed at least one week to get everything together. I was able to actually talk to somebody in the sales department at the SC and they told me they couldn't hold the VIN the extra week, but I would be assigned one the next week. I also live 2.5 hours away from the delivery center and need to coordinate with work seeing as they could only offer a weekday delivery date. Coming up on the new delivery date (Aug 1) I had no VIN and couldn't get a hold of anybody (had to escalate via live chat) until the day before my new scheduled delivery date were they told me they only had a car with about 350ish miles on it. I could take it or I could wait for a new one. The delivery specialist suggested I wait for the new one. I agreed and now I'm waiting. It's now August 21 and I have yet to be reassigned a VIN and have trouble getting in touch with anybody at Tesla. Is there a better way to talk to somebody besides just trying to leave voicemails? I'm also guessing it's just a waiting game at this point to? My loan is only good until the 8/24 and I was told by the delivery specialist I would have a car before then. My bank has told me it won't be a big deal to reapply, but it's just frustrating addition to the process. Any suggestions? EDIT: Delivery Specialist reached out to me just a little bit ago. Car needs to be built from scratch so it's going to be a while longer. Hopefully before the quarter ends! Thanks for all the responses

FSD Price Makes No Sense... (self.teslamotors) Can somebody rationalize the current price point of FSD for me? I bought my LR RWD 3 w/ EAP back in Nov. 2018. I paid 5k for EAP with the option to add FSD for an additional 2k (or maybe it was 3k?). Lets call it 3k for arguments sake (someone who remembers, let me know...). I declined since there was currently no sign of FSD on the horizon. At any rate, here we are almost months later, the current "deal" for EAP owners is to upgrade to FSD for an additional 3k, with the threat (errrrr "promise") to increase the price by an additional 1k and then continue to increase as the product improves (that's an interesting business model...). So, somebody who buys the car today, can get a LR AWD w/ FSD for LESS than I paid for my LR RWD w/ EAP less than a year ago. OK, fine - I understand there is a certain cost to be an early adopter and prices inevitably go down over time (except in the case of FSD apparently...). That being said, why is it someone who paid less for more car (a whole 2nd motor added!) a few months ago can go online today and purchase FSD for 6k. But I go online to buy and its 3k. That is to say, we are purchasing the exact same product at the exact same time, except my total bill is 8k while this other guy only has to pay 6k. To top it off, the guy paying 6k gets all my EAP features immediately after purchase while I literally get vaporware... If FSD is currently being sold for 6K, WHY ON EARTH should I have to pay 8k? The price of FSD for current EAP users should be a 1k right now, since they are selling FSD (I.E. - EAP + the promise of FSD in the future) for 6k today. I already paid my 5k into EAP, so it should only be an additional 1k to add FSD package. It makes absolutely no sense to be charging me more when we are buying the same thing on the same day. The ONLY rationale I can think of would be that my car has to be serviced at some point to have the computer hardware swapped to HW3. That said, there is absolutely no way that process is costing them anywhere near the extra 2k they are charging me. But even that wouldn't be a valid excuse either since they are apparently just "gifting" FSD to anyone who took delivery between Jan & end of Feb '19 (according to some posts on here). Seriously, how does this make any sense?

I wish the morona going on about automated driving would atleast pur their dumb dream idea to something more worth it like public transportation given it already operates on a preset route. Even then it'd be a disaster but it would sure as hell be more easier than dealing with hundreds of independent ai driven cars.
