eventually enough people will be turned off of tesla due to musk luther's attitude/ethics/etc, and tesla won't need so many employees because they won't be selling many cars.

raises hand
As most know, I'm pretty committed to EVs. But man, fuck that guy with a rusty crow bar. I think what did it for me was moving HQ to Texas. But the twitter stuff is just the cherry on top.
Dude is in his fifties, making him a gen-xer. Not that that makes him any less of a douche nozzle.
Yeah replacing ICE motors with e--vehicles should be a net positive but I have (at minimum) 2 VERY, VERY, VERY eco-liberal friends from college with Teslas and I never understood why they were willing to overlook the fact that he is a racist asshole...
But I am not a "car guy" so I just don't understand the love for Musk "period"

don't care, he's an official boomer now.
Also baffled by the God-like status some people have elevated Musk to. I can kind of appreciate Tesla getting more people into EV's, but he's a dickbag, IMNSHO.
him and joe rogan.
Truth be told, most CEOs are racist assholes, or sexist assholes, or racist and sexist assholes. Seems the problem with Musk is that he's both a very public asshole, and also the world's richest asshole. Given that no matter who you buy a car from, you're lining the pockets of an asshole, I can see the argument that one may as well just buy a Tesla because Musk is the asshole making the best EV.
Here we are in 2022 and the Model S, which came out in 2012 finally has some real competition from VAG, but VAG comes with their own pretty hefty asshole baggage. The Mach E is pretty solid, and I'd take one over a Y, but what else is really on par with Tesla? If you're an Eco minded liberal, Tesla is the obvious choice IMO, if you're more of the a social justice and anti billionaire type, then I guess get a Ionic?
FTFY
Sooooo many techbros. I live in a wealthy area- I remember 20 years ago I saw a lot of priiiii, because they were saving the world. Now there are gucci cars that are also saving the world....so everything is tesla. Keep in mind that the model S is virtually unchanged from 2012, so these new cars that are finally coming out are actually new.
Same type of people that live in an 8K sqft home with their family of 3. They don't actually GAF about saving the world, they just care about projecting the image that they do.
No disagreement there. I'd be perfectly happy with a 1200 sqft house.Even 2K sq ft is too much for 3 people... that said, I'll be here awhile.
As long as it had a 40'x60' shop.
We had a 1300 sq ft house before our current abode... we should have just stayed there.
have you considered a cave?We had a 1300 sq ft house before our current abode... we should have just stayed there.
Would be way easier than this stick-built shit to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
@Toshi needs one of these.

Don't get me started bitching about our place... I told wifey that we should have turned the living room into a dining room, then converted the dining room into and office & pantry, then rent out the basement. I was less than politely told to fuck off. We have over 1k of useless square footage in this house.Even 2K sq ft is too much for 3 people... that said, I'll be here awhile.
In certain states/municipalities, it is illegal to be off the grid. Silly, but true.
BIL was telling me yesterday that the state inspectors want you to be energy efficient, but not too energy efficient. Utility companies have been successful in their lobbying.
How big is your palace?
the only upside in being in the desert in the middle of nowhere....build what you want...
Why do you hate Murica?Would be way easier than this stick-built shit to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Plan for today was to be less bad than yesterday. Plan was unsuccessful, had a few pretty stressful claim situations today. One involving a customer in a very large tractor getting rear-ended on US 30. Thankfully no one died.
Saga of wife’s Subaru is coming to an end. Cutting losses and seeing if I can get anyone to give it anything for the shit box. It’s too bad as it still looks great
The dumbasses who run this State just slashed the rates Utilities have to pay you for your solar production and added a per Kw tax for installed solar. They're deterring people from adding solar, while mandating people use more electricity by way of ICE and NG appliance bans. Must be nice to run a Utility company, burn down half the State, get tax payer subsidies to fix the grid you shoulda fixed decades ago and then get P-P-P-Paid!
similar shit happening here w/duke energy
Same utilities that also bitch that electrical grid can't handle the current demand, nevermind increased demand from all the new electrical vehicles/appliances/heat pumps, while simultaneously not investing a dime in upgrading the grid for said future demand?
3600sqft
our house is 2200sqf, we need more space.
Yep, those utilities.
The good news is that we currently have a $100b budget surplus, and tax increases are coming, plenty of money to build new green plants and improve the grid, which we’ll probably end up handing over to the utility companies. They’ll in turn increase our rates and end up building Nukes in Az and Nv to supply our power. Then they’ll burn the state down again, because why not
pulled the trigger on a bluetooth monopod headphone thinger. audio quality is decent for what it is.
The guy I lent some of my Rock samples to has stopped responding to my calls and efforts to contact him. I know where he lives and works. We have many mutual friends. I promise here to do the right thing and use any legal means at my disposal to recover my Samples. I am very upset.
he smoked your rocks
Not funny. Nice try.
There's a difference around space though. Good space usage means everything.
Our last house was around 2200sqft but poorly laid out. The bedrooms upstairs were well used space. The main floor was an L-shaped, but poorly. The main living area was the family room and kitchen, but a structural wall separated the front/dining room it was a ~15*15 room that was useless. And we had a ~800sqft basement, basically one giant room with a bathroom attached, that was used for my training stuff and kid toys.
That much square footage, laid out well, can be more than enough.
