    It’s funny how I’m the opposite. I play FPS games on my phone as good as with a mouse and keyboard. I like low profile laptop keyboards because I can type faster with minimal down …

    Looking at a touchscreen isn’t a big deal, people look down and around their cabin all the time while driving. People here sound like you have to be staring at the road without bli…

    Idk my Tesla drives itself 95% of the time. It also drives better than an most of the raging morons on the road.

    I do over 100 miles a day in a Tesla on autopilot. Touchscreen works fine.

    I love driving a Tesla with no buttons. I hate buttons. The two multipurpose buttons on the steering wheel are enough for me. I don’t even like having a HUD. Just useless informati…

    I guess when you give power to the people that means flash mobbing meme stocks. Not something traditional institutions have had to deal with before. Traditional users as well who d…

    Because it was atypical behavior that any institution would have the same problems with.

    I like Robinhood and I have no problem with them having technical issues when users a flash mobbed a meme stock. In the end they learned what to do next time.

    Dealership markup is highly variable vs MSRP which is across the board so it matters a lot. Also Tesla prices are only up 15%. That is inline with inflation. Dealer and scalper mar…

    Each PHP file is a magic hot swappable component. Not some bulky binary you have to full compile/deploy on every tiny change. What other web technology compares?

    Show me a report, anything that says people are buying lots of Teslas to resell them for a profit. Oh wait you can’t. What’s your argument, raising prices was a preemptive strike a…

    It's one thing when scalpers jack up prices, but when companies do it it's called price gouging. I haven't seen Sony, Microsoft, Ford, Tesla, gas stations, etc.. raise their MSRP t…

    If someone wants to pay a lot of money to a professional to create their brand identity that option is always there. If someone else just needs something simple and passable there …

    You could of also paid a human to carry your comment all the way over to me so I could read it and reply like I am doing so now.

    First your bank can’t move money from A as it doesn’t control A. A and C and services or even my personal wallet, not banks. The point is a bank is not needed to facilitate the tra…

    Say you want to move $ from service A to C, before Bitcoin it was not possible without a bank intermediary (B). There is processing time, high fees, business hours, etc.. So you’re…

    The practical use case is pretty simple - being able to hold large sums of money yourself securely while being able to move it to who/where ever you want in less than an hour, 24/7…

    Now it’s time to work on changing the laws. Tesla has been going at it alone.

    Increasing prices has nothing to do with scalping. Just like Microsoft and Sony should of done with game consoles, but never did - Tesla has centralized buying which allows it to e…

    Stubbornness in supporting the direct to consumer business model. Talk is cheap, and other car companies can’t even do that, though this Ford CEO here is starting to crack.

    Tesla has a year backlog and no scalper issue. So it’s not that.

    This is another one of Tesla’s innovations/disruptions that is clearly better and the rest of the industry is too stubborn to change even if it’s better for the consumer. No likes …

    I'm hopeful that Opendoor can make home buying/selling as quick and easy as Carvana has made buying and selling cars. I think key to that is to ensure they minimize the amount of t…
