All manual which I miss.
Btw, European cars are notoriously unreliable, aside from a few gems like Porsche.
If you buy a new car chances are it will be the best car you've ever owned and better than anything you've driven before.
I can’t help but be disheartened at the financialization (?) of everything. Can’t tell who’s real and who’s shorting.
I have no dog in this fight. Never owned or thought about buying a Tesla. The details described in the story, if true, are very serious. Are you suggesting the story is made up?
I'm a firm believer in the idea that people can be brilliant in one way and dumb in many others. Elon seems hellbent on showing us all the ways he's dumb.
This was the position I took with the iPhone 4 long ago because of the nonsense "antennagate" thing. I said forget Consumer Reports, the phone works fine. The tech magazines were (and still are?) also touting the latest "iPhone killer" random Android phone, and I said nah they're paid. If I listened to them, I'd have like a Motorola DROID EpiC XX2.
> I said forget Consumer Reports, the phone works fine.
If it works for you, then it works for you. It's not the same as saying people for whom it doesn't work are motivated liars, though.
I do suspect there were motivated liars involved, at least the media just wanting to benefit from hyping things up, because the claim was so bogus. I'm not that unique of a person that the iPhone 4 works specially for me. Actual buyers had the option to return the phone if it had issues, and basically nobody was doing that, both anecdotally and by stats.
