It's my understanding most of the people on the list really wanted the $35K model and are now losing interest and bowing out because Must hasn't delivered on it.
Fake news! Most of the people on the list wanted the $25K model (after state and federal kickbacks). The federal tax credit will be gone before a 35K model is produced. And if you want to spend $60K+ on a Tesla, why not just get a model S? It's a better car, has better build quality, and fewer design defects.
Look guys, I remember when Mozilla was a bloated monolith - irc, mail, usenet, i don't even remember what else. Oh, and a browser nobody used. Then firefox came out from your summer intern (Blake Ross), by getting rid of all that crud and being a browser. And only a browser.
And, poof, Mozilla (well, FireFox) became relevant again. And then you squandered it. Why will it be different this time? Honestly, close up hop and give the money to somebody else.
A lot of people put down a *refundable* $1000 deposit (kickstarter, anyone?) for a $27,5,00 Tesla (after $7,500 tax rebate, plus assorted state subsidies). Turns out maybe they didn't want to buy a $60,000 Tesla. And that tax rebate will be gone before the $35,000 model is available.
I use some software. It's in debian (and ubuntu) but hasn't been updated in years. It's not the sort of thing that needs to be updated. But I've manged to find and fix 6 or 7 bugs. serious bugs. coredump now type bugs. I've stopped reporting them back to debian because nobody is looking at bug reports. There is no upstream. I've reported them back to a fork I found on sourceforge but they asked me to rewrite my commit message without oxford commas. Seriously.
I'm glad it's open source, I wouldn't be able to use or fix it, otherwise. But nobody else will benefit from my bug fixes.
GM, Ford, Chrysler make their money through car loans [1]. Your local dealer makes their money originating loans and in the maintenance shop. Tesla is the manufacturer and dealer. They don't have profits so normal rules don't apply (yet). Of course, if^W when you need maintenance on your hastily assembled golf cart^W^W^W Tesla, it will be months before parts are available.
(We used to joke that GM was a healthcare insurance company that financed healthcare for retired workers through car loans.)
hopefully, now that society is accepting medical and recreational marijuana, cocaine is next.
Just like marijuana ("marihuana") was demonized for it's association with Mexicans, cocaine was demonized for it's association with blacks. (Specifically, the fear that black men would snort a line of cocaine and then rape your wife or daughter).
Meanwhile, bored housewives, business executives, etc had been using low doses of cocaine for years without problems. To this day, many slashdot readers, tech workers, doctors, business men, etc self-medicate with a line or two of coke. The biggest danger isn't the cocaine, it's whatever shit it's been cut with.
So, stop pretending cocaine makes black people rape white women. It's time to legalize recreational cocaine.
Microsoft is rewriting Office in Javascript. Hopefully it never sees the light of day. Or maybe they just love open source so much, they want to increase LibreOffice's marketshare!
It's a nice car. It's a luxury car, nice interior. Kind of makes you feel like royalty, like a king. Or queen. More specifically, a princess. In particular, Princess Diana.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Chef/Writer/TV Personality Anthony Bourdain was found dead in his New York City apartment this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

All Teslas come "musked". Like how Corona comes "skunked".
The Tesla factory actually build 5,000 a week. The hold up is that Elon Musk needs to sit in each one and fart to give it that distinctive "Elon Musk" smell.
That's why he's sleeping at the assembly line and having taco bell delivered. They've also got top scientists examining his asshole so they can recreate the smell, but it's a hard problem!
Probe it? fuck no. We need to capture and enslave that mother fucker. Let's send a crack commando team -- led by Bruce Willis, Marky Mark and Michael Bay -- to recover it.

They should use bitcoin. It uses a block chain. Much stronger than wrapping your cash in rubber bands (which can break).

My local gas station sells aftermarket kits for $5. Look in the in the Bum Wine section of the refrigerator case.
Q: Why would you flush perfectly good drugs down the toilet? A: Because the fuzz is kicking in your door!
Drugs belong in our bodies, not in our toilets. Legalize cocaine. For the environment.

No, it was 498. My father gifted me a Rolex Yacht Master II watch up attainment of that score as it was the highest amongst my class at Choad.

do you even move fast and break stuff bro?
I knew a guy. He drove his car into an interstate overpass at 80+ mph. It was a failed suicide attempt (i.e., he lived).
Point is, Tesla's autopilot is indistinguishable from a depressed, suicidal middle aged man that was just fired.
Canadians don't mess aboot.
I accidentally the whole question. Is that bad?
