Imagine what will happen when we combine decentralized car use with autonomous driving. Uber is already cheaper than driving yourself around, but think how affordable it would be i…

I disagree with your assessment that Tesla doesn't have any new technology that will improve their efficiency over Nissan. Tesla builds their own powertrains and battery management…

The 25% number for Tesla is from the most recent quarter, where they received no revenue from selling emissions credits. Their profitability has actually increased quarter to quart…

Prominently showing Game of Thrones content in the images, even though the Fire doesn't support HBO Go? Way to be deceptive, Amazon.

I disagree with your claim that veganism and vegetarianism can't be backed by logical thinking. Producing meat requires significantly more natural resources (land area, water) and …

Tesla is hard at work taking the knowledge they've gained developing the Model S and applying it to create a ~$30k car, which will be meant for the every man. Until then, though, I…

Ah, well if you get to make up your own definitions of profitable, then I suppose they weren't. But if you use the actual definition of profitable, meaning they had more revenue th…

Congratulations - you are the 1% who this model fails for. The rest of us will be just fine, since 99% of us don't travel more than 250 miles a day. And for the couple times a year…
