Coorporations realized a long time ago if none of them pay more then X they can effectively control the market. I lived in a small city, and I knew someone once who was told that he couldn't be paid what he asked because it would start a salary war with the other companies in the city. As an employee it is hard to win that way.
Can't wait to hear Waymo's excuses about how their cars didn't see that man in that particular shade of purple with the sharply cast shadow with the sun 30 degrees left relative of the vehicle. Then there will be another, and another.. Eventually they will come to tems with how many driving situations there really are in the world.
If they want to sell it to me, they will spell it out to me in plain language. It takes one line of text to say "bigger seats for $15". People have shown me comparison charts and other bullshit but no one seems to know what they are really buying.
I'm not sure what an exit room is, but if you mean the bigger space where exit doors are in the middle, I think I've seen that 3 times in all my years of flying.
And in another thread people are arguing with me that capitalism always meets the needs of the consumer, and this is the third article I have seen today that supports my statement.
The thing about capitalism, is that companies will be trying to make the LEAST NUMBER of charging spots possible. You may be willing to bet that they will be interested in putting a station where you need one every time, but I'm not holding my breath.
What the hell is premium economy? I just want a bigger seat. Maybe I don't want to go through a big list of what "premium economy" entails. To me that just seems like I'll be paying for all kinds of things that I don't want to pay for. If that is nothing but a bigger seat, why don't they "bigger seat" instead of "premium economy"?
There are basically three groups of people:
A) People who only need a car and never in their lives need to drive more than 300 miles,
B) People who will buy one of these because they don't see a need right now, and then will have to spend more money down the road because the EV doesn't meet their needs for some reason or another, and
C) People like me who already know they will be in group B
I am worried about the people in groups B and C. I don't see any point in talking about the people in group A.
It doesn't made sense to buy a car that only works with that maker's "network". All gas stations work with all cars, that is the way it should stay for EVs.

Well the cushy apartment will be great for me, but where will my wife and kids stay?

Allow me to add, I see governments adding regulations for 'clearer language' all the time. Does anyone actually do it?

Well, then you just condoned Nazi Germany, because I'm sure most of those citizens didn't have a better idea either.
Those two are the same thing. I would have to be 15% quicker to write 15% more code. The only question is when you want it.

Oh brother. I don't want a fucking 'comparison chart'. Am I paying 15% for 15% more seat space? Yes or no.

You can always reach for something better.
When I go to book a flight and I see: "Add more leg room for $15" then I will agree with you. Until then I have not seen anything like that.

especially since we are talking about cars north of 50K.
I mean exactly where i need it, in that i dont even have to cross the street for it.
nope i dont rent if i dont have to, too expensive.
this is one place convenience wins out every time. I'll happily pay for gas where I am even if it costs $10 more for a fill.
ok then why arent they everywhere right now? i mean, mobile antennas can be placed everywhere but i still get dead spots.
When I punch a destination in my Tesla, it includes charging stops and the time to charge in its calculations
so basically your car advertises to you and YOU GO THERE. Talk about a capitalists wet dream and 1984 rolled into one.
I mean 'free' in the sense as 'available for use without a wait'.
Besides, I don't care about the number of charging stations at all. Only that there is one exactly where I need it that is free every time.
Well, good luck to them. They have a lot of charging stations to build.
