Does anyone know if the insurance for these cars have gone up yet? With them being more dangerous than a ford pinto and all the vandalism you would think the insurance companies would raise the rates.
I remember a few weeks ago Dutch pension funds sold all their Tesla stock because they felt it wasn't a safe investment anymore. The decision was laughed at on reddit because Tesla still went up a little bit after that, clearly it was a political choice and the uncertainty was just an excuse, surely the Dutch people would be annoyed that politics cost them big gains on their pensions, etc etc.
I feel vindicated. Let's see how low it can go!
DIAMOND HANDS TO HELL!
Diamond hands are for bag holders Know your exit and get the fuck out when the time is right.
Shush! No! Let the elon bros crash too!
Down over 50% since the all-time-high in December 2024, post-Trump election.
So thatโs definitely a win!
Still needs to drop ANOTHER 90% to get back down to pre-2020 levels though..๐ค๐ป
Down with Tesla!!
This only gets me downvotes, and I donโt make the rules, but I do enforce them:
$100.00
The unit symbol should follow the quantity, as this is how itโs generally read and spoken. Just because itโs tradition doesnโt mean we should keep doing it.
It signifies currency and thatโs why we do it.
I always wondered about that. It seems sensible to have it at the end, so in my mind I can read 100โฌ as โhundred eurosโ. But $100, I canโt help but read it as โdollars hundredโ. Feels wonky. Although I guess this is a quirk that comes from not having dollars and as such, that format, nor English as an official language, so natives probably donโt โreadโ it in their minds like that?
no one gives a shit
*$100. This is how it is done.
It's beautiful.
Fucking fire Elon so Tesla can actually make good shit. Honestly man, Elon could've just stfu and collected money.
I have an alternative proposition:
As a society, we should all agree that car culture is not good. It is not good for the health of cities, not good for the envinronment, not good for anything really. Let's get as far away from cars as possible and start improving public transport and other ways of moving. One thing I would love to see is more shade in cities, from trees. Way way way more trees.
I assume you're talking about cities where it's baking sun and so too hot to walk. One problem. Trees don't like that either and so need artificial irrigation. Plus trees tend to do lots of damage to drains and sewers as their roots seek water. Generally trees and cities aren't a great mix except in certain areas (green spaces which are maintained).
Are you speaking as an American or a European? Because I generally think American cities are hostile to anything except cars (being built after cars) and European cities are hostile to cars (being built before cars).
I've seen videos of people regreening deserts and it was kinda cool. They like carve out a U shape and plant things that work for the type of environment and it keeps water longer.
I know that wasn't your point and it's a complete non-sequitur but I enjoyed the vid.
I think it was videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7pyGgBmzDY
I visited a few larger european cities and I got to admit that I don't feel the same.
All but a few I saw were changed to accommodate car traffic to a high or extreme level and only after recent decades there is some incentive to shrink the area that is dedicated to motorized traffic and parking zones.
Being from germany my perception of how hostile cities can be towards pedestrians might be skewed compared to american experiences.
The dutch way off a professionally thought out and highly efficent pathway for cyclists and extended pedestrian zones comes to mind as well as a plan to redesign Paris as a pedestrian tourist powerhouse as it struggles with perceived pollution, noise and heat thus diminishing its touristic visits.
Like you said, Paris was build before cars were widespread and could return to a modern resemblance of it's old self. I feel there is immense touristic potential in catering this idea creating pilot projects for hundreds of metropolitan areas where old infrastructure is maintained in presentable fashion.
So I feel that there are good reasons to reevaluate how we want to change our older densely build areas to find a good balance, ensuring that local population has ways of living their everyday live in timesaving and fulfilling manner but also creating spaces that are worthwhile, relaxing to stay in.
