There is nothing to bargain... I've had idiots try and form a union on me, I replied, "ok, go ahead and give 6% of your paycheck to someone else, just don't think that means your pay will go up any".
The simple fact is, as the owner I set the pay, you can take the job or not. I don't have to negotiate with you, either on a one-on-one basis, or collectively.
The only reason I have to raise pay is if I have job openings and can't fill them. If I have 50 resumes on my desk, you have no bargining power.
The sign database is never going to be that accurate... humans and all...
As for missing it, yes... but I can look at the road and figure things out in a way that the computer cannot.
Again, self driving for 80-90% of driving is doable and quickly, probably in the next 5 years... that last 10% will take a complete rethink and overhaul of the road system...
Then the sign is dirty, or covered by snow/ice/graffiti, or just knocked down... or placed wrong...
Self-driving will happen soon, but not completely self-driving... you'll still have to pay attention and it will only work in 80-90% of places, the last 10-20% is where major changes to the roads, construction areas, etc. will have to happen.
Those can all happen, and probably will, but not in the useful life of this car...
It isn't moronic... it is logic, but which do you know about that?
Remind me how many TOTAL cars Tesla has EVER sold? Ford sells that in a month...
A 2 year waiting list isn't hard when you are such a small company and can't make very many cars...
As for the price dropping, anything is possible, but that is highly unlikely, it would stomp all over the Model 3... but then I did say that the price was the primary problem, if they indeed get a Model 3 down to $17K (or even $20K) in 3 years, then fair enough, they could then sell millions of them...
But $35K is just way too much for what this car is beyond the "Cult of Tesla" buyers, which is all they are right now given the volumes...
Ahh, someone who has a badly outdated view of such things...
Toyota isn't what it once was, Ford isn't either... give Consumer Reports try, they talk about this in recent auto reviews, that the gap has closed and the old issues are largely gone...
Either way, the Model 3 is stupid over priced for $35K in terms of the actual car, putting aside the power plant. Its cost to own over 3-5 years is much higher than a similar gas car.
No, the Fusion... an overlooked gem of a car. You can usually find mid level trim Fusions for $17k, or $250 a month on lease with nothing due at signing.
After buying gas, the Fusion is still cheaper to own.
No, that is indeed true... and the problem, gas cars are cheaper to buy and cheaper to run for the first 3-5 years which is all new car buyers care about.
Concord was loud taking off because it had 50 year old reheated turboramjet engines that were amazingly advanced for its day, but really shouldn't have been on a commercial airplane.
When it is the last time you flew on an airliner with afterburners?

.50 BMG AP will easily go through that and only costs five bucks a round...
A good accurate rifle that fires it is under $8k. Cheaper ones exist as well.
That works in science fiction, it falls apart in the world we live in now...

Yes, but Russia is not our enemy, despite what the rich want us to believe.
So did The Saint with Val Kilmer.
Neither are you, because they are not...
You bought a written-off, salvaged 2015 Ford and use that to claim Ford sucks?
I've been driving them for decades, cars and trucks, they are no more or less reliable than any other major car brand...
History is full of declining empires that took a lot of other people with them... they also didn't have thousands of nuclear weapons...
Try again sunshine...

You suck at math and politics... really, not joking...
Those dates mean nothing, learn how politics works. Then learn math on how many cars exit in the world and how many are made each year.
Try again sunshine...
Most rags are worth a penny, but WSJ generally is...

Yes, gas, quaint... it only powers 99.9% of all the cars in the world and will continue to so for a very long time...
But don't let facts and logic get in your way...

Says the person who hasn't driven one recently... Your loss, but they really are nice cars now...
Coke is selling emotions to the next generation... they sell sugar water, all they have are feelings...

Ahh yes, the features that turn it into a $55K car...
Fusions don't sell for anything close to MSRP, Tessa has to due to a lack of dealer network.
Note: If you doubt the $17K price, you haven't driven a Ford Fusion lately. What they sell for $17K is impressive.
There are several other under $20K cars nicely equipped that are as nice as this.
Dashboard is ugly and doesn't look very driver friendly, but taste is subjective so fair enough...
My problem is that it is expensive and not as green as Tesla claims, but they will sell...
For what I see there, $17,000 strikes me as the right price, Tesla has made progress, but not there yet.

You're trying to have a logic debate, I'm trying to explain how courts work in the real world, the two don't always match up.
I don't think I'd have a very hard time finding a jury of 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty who would blame Apple for this.
