- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 3 days ago:
I don’t even see what point you’re trying to make. All I said in my first comment is that having the car drive itself from the factory to your house saves Tesla the hassle of delivering it to you, and it will put unnecessary miles and wear & tear on the car before you even get to drive it.
That was my first comment right? Now look at your reply to that. So I explained that a car can be delivered to your house on a flatbed truck where it won’t put on said unnecessary miles and wear & tear. No imaginary special concierge needed to pick you up and take you to a dealership to get your car. Do you agree? If yes, then I think the conversation has reached a conclusion.
- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 3 days ago:
I’ve never heard of this.
Now you have. You can even get a used car delivered to your house and have your old car taken away at the same time if you are trading it in.
Yes, that was my point
Ok? So what was the point of your first comment? Anyway, I think this conversation is going around in circles, and it seems like it was just because you weren’t aware a car can be delivered straight to your house, instead of having it drive by itself and rack up miles and wear and tear before you even get to ride in it.
- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 3 days ago:
You can absolutely get a new car delivered to your house even if you buy from a dealership. Either way, the topic of discussion in this thread is having the car drive itself to you, not to the dealership for you to pick it up.
- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 3 days ago:
By being delivered on a truck? Not sure if this is a regional thing if you’re not in the US, but it’s not unusual to get a car delivered to your house on a flatbed truck or semi in the US.
- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 3 days ago:
No. What I’m saying is you can have the car delivered to you without it racking up miles by carrying it on a semi. Having it drive itself to you starts depreciation before you even get to ride in it, not to mention the warranty limits based on mileage. What you said in your original comment about expecting to be picked up so you can drive it back home is ridiculous.

Have you never had something delivered to you before? Does the amazon driver pick you up and take you to the warehouse so you can personally pick up your package?
- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 3 days ago:
Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime.

I posted this comment on another thread before:
The 3 most common options are through:
- Work - you need a company based in your destination country to sponsor you. Apply for jobs that offer sponsorship and relocation support. Or work for a company in your country that has an office in your desired destination, and ask to be relocated.
- Education - attend university in your desired destination.
- Marriage - fall in love with a citizen of your desired destination and get married. - Obviously this does not apply in your case.
You’ll have to get in through a visa based on the above categories, then apply for permanent residency once you’re in. Only after a few years of being a permanent resident can you apply for citizenship. Note that this can take years depending on the category and the country you’re from.
As for the license-to-practice thing, make sure to do your research on the requirements in your destination country, because it might be easier if you already have some credentials on the get-go; or you might need to actually earn credits there an not just go for the exams. Also, you have to check if they even recognize the licenses that you get in the US, otherwise it will be a waste. Good luck.

- Comment on America is fucked 1 week ago:
This happened to me once. It was a main road with heavy traffic. I pulled over to the right to let the ambulance pass, but because of traffic, I was effectively sitting on the right lane. Apparently the ambulance wanted to move to the right lane because they were gonna turn right at the corner up ahead. I felt like an asshole because to everyone else on the road, it looked like I intentionally blocked the ambulance. And the siren blaring right behind you while the driver is blasting the horn is very stressful.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
Same. At my work and everywhere I’ve worked, almost everyone responds like that to emails with multiple questions in them. It’s either OP’s workplace is an outlier or his formatting isn’t conducive enough for people go respond appropriately.

The Kona EV still has physical controls for the A/C and other essential stuff. It uses a key fob though, just like most regular cars nowadays. But at least it’s not a card or something.
