- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 1 week ago:
In the USA taxes and titling cost different amounts depending on where you live. It’s easier to calculate once you buy, especially if you are buying in another state than the one you reside in which is a big problem in my state where dealers don’t stock EVs. I had to go to the nearest large city which is in another state from where I reside to get my Bolt EUV.
You can calculate before you buy and each state usually has at least a chart to ballpark what you’ll pay. The easiest way to calculate these taxes would be to not levy them against people to begin with.

Advertising cars would never be feasible on nationally broadcast TV under your system.
They did figure out the problem though. Price set by the manufacture, show cost for delivery on the window sticker, then when you buy they car the title and tax are figured out for where you live. It’s the fairest and easiest way of showing and figuring the price. If you can’t figure out that window stickers are available online and the tax and title yourself before you buy, that’s a you problem. It’s not on the seller nor the manufacturer to post pricing for every state or municipality.
If you want cleaner pricing, demand an end to titling and car taxes.

Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?

bullshit fee
Do you think shipping and transportation of goods is free? Do you think truck drivers drive stuff around out of the goodness of their hearts?
- Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year' 1 week ago:
If it waives the destination fee, then I don’t see it as a bad problem depending on how much it would normally cost to deliver vs how many miles.

That only works until stop killing games is passed and forces game devs to release the code for running servers for the games yourselves after the official server(s) close down. Like how City of Heroes/Villians works now.

Edison motors in Canada is getting ready to put out conversion kits for pickup trucks to convert to series hybrid (onboard generator, all electric drivetrain). It’s not for a short term profit, more of a right to repair and a stance against planned obsolescence.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 2 months ago:
It’s the price. I want a truck, not a Cadillac with a bed. A truck is meant for work not ve a pavement princess. $50k was already high and the truck market is still stupid on price with most trucks going over $60k and Cybertruck starts at $75.5k. If the price was what Elon said when he announced the Cybertruck, it would be flying off the shelves $40k

Or they can crowd source instead of paying a firm and get the same results for practically free. It’s the same way Xitter and Wikipedia and other wikis operate.

I think Google is putting their eggs in one basket (Android) in preparation for them selling off chrome. They are already killing ChromeOS.

Funnily enough I just filled out a customer survey yesterday about trying to by an unlocked phone. For all I’m concerned, they’re complicit in Google and Apple’s monopolies for not selling or much less unlocking phones.
- Comment on CD Projekt Red Still Seeking To Win Players Back After Cyberpunk 2077 Disastrous Launch 6 months ago:
Just for that clickbait description, heres the quote:
It might be a situation that never happens for some of them. But that’s unfortunately the price we have to pay for what happened. But I hope that, throughout the work that we are doing, throughout the things we are showing, we can actually win some of those people around – and when they hear someone talking to them about the incredible experiences they can have in, let’s say Phantom Liberty, or the next Witcher, next Cyberpunk, or next Hadar CD Projekt’s new IP, at the moment when they see there’s that incredible value in that game, they will actually reach out for it, play it and enjoy it. – Pawel Sasko

I always thought the holographic 3D discs were going to be a really cool medium in the infacy days of bluray and hd-dvd. I can’t believe that’s is been over a decade since the company behind it went bankrupt.
