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…

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…

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.
