The PR citizens have voted against statehood over and over, except the very last time. They may now want to break off from America, in light of how trump/gop treated them.
Why? They would almost certainly require a bid. But considering that Tesla solar is the lowest priced solar in America, has lowest priced battery, and only company outside of China to have built something that big, they are likely to win.
And yet, in America, model S outsells all of it's competitors COMBINED. Model X is now top seller in it's class. And model 3 presales make it top of class and will likely in a year or so, outsells them combined.
Actually , he does understand it.
That is why putting in a system that will only cost.15/kwh is much better.
The real problem is that you lack a degree in economics while he has one, along with physics.
IBM used to make real adding machines ( in fact, Hitler used IBM equipment for counting, sorting, etc the ppl that went to death camps ). Now, without them, they are unable to make intelligent choices.
Careful there. I have admired the Indians that I have worked directly with and even married an Indian ( family from Chennai ). But, 1 of my past students pointed out something interesting. He knew that I enjoyed working with Indians, but then he pointed out that those coming to America, are the best of the best. Most are American educated so got top grades. However, back in India, their bachelor degrees in CS from most of their Universities are similar to an AA degree here . Worse, once an Indian gets a job, it is impossible to fire them over there even if totally inept.
Now, there are exceptions to all of that. For example, my wife's grandfather started ITT Madras and it is now a top notch University. And there are other ITTs that are top notch to decent. To be fair, the majority of ITTs still remain as junk status, as does the vast majority of other indian universities. So getting good ppl in India IS hard and in general, if they are good, they leave India.
The real issue is that smart ppl know that IBM is still charging top dollars for massive executive bonuses, while getting shoddy work that could be done at 1/2 to 1/5 of the price, if going with a pure Indian company.
that is the same issue on regular cars as well. The only way to get out, is taking out the window.
Besides, in a unibody, and some trucks, it is very disastrous to actually open the door when you are upside doown, or if you have a heavy weight on you (like say a semi-truck), esp. on Tesla. Tesla BROKE the crush machine that they were using, which is the same one that feds and insurance companies use. So, very strong. But, with Tesla, ALL OF THE DEATHS, have been BIZARRE accidents. One from up north was a truck, possibly a semi truck, actually drove on top of the car and the car HELD IT. Then the driver opened the car door, and it came crushing down. Had he broken the window, he would STILL be alive today.
no, From what I am seeing is that a number of far right wingers are coming here bashing on Tesla/spacex/etc. We all see them here over and over.
Worse, very little of the FUD has any merit. The design on Tesla is obviously well done since Tesla has the highest buyer loyalty of any brand. The fact that there are NO accidents in Tesla related to touch screen issues after 5 years of being on the road should show ANYBODY that the argument against touch screens is just plain STUPID. If touch screens were even CLOSE to being as bad as these idiots claim, then we would see a number of accidents related to it. We just do not.
This is like the ppl that had accidents in Tesla and blamed AP and/. posted the story. Yet, later on, the log files would show over and over, that none of them had AP on at that time. Basically, it was bad driving.
relax.
Lots of lies/BS is being said about the 3. More importantly, by the time that you get the car, everything will be in order. It will those of us that own other Teslas that will have bought these and helped develop these.
Seriously, we have a number of obvious astroturfers that are constantly ripping Tesla, SpaceX, solar City, etc and thing that Musk starts.
Now, the current BS in here is about the touch screen vs buttons.
I drive a highlander as my car, and then will drive my wife's car, a Tesla MS.
I regularly have to look at the highlander's buttons on the radio because there are SO many. In addition, the same is true of the heating system. Otherwise, I will hit the wrong ones.
BUT, with the tesla, nearly all of the HVAC controls are on the bottom of the touch screen. The only one that I really have to fiddle with is fan, which happens to be right on my steering wheel as well.
Then across the top, we have a number of buttons, which basically act like a file folder management for the 2 main windows. We have both found that the ONLY 3 that we use are Radio, Rear View Camera, and map.
Since we only use the map for long distance driving, it rarely is used. So, the top one is the Rear View Cam, and the bottom view is the radio. My wife has a number of internet stations that she listens to, which she will simply tell Tesla which one to play. Once it is on, she uses the steering wheel to control skipping the song, as well as volume.
All in all, this touch screen and UI is the best AND SAFEST thing going. Buttons? Not only a thing of the 19th century, but also dangerous and wasteful. It is why Tesla has so few accidents vs crappy ICE cars. And once the MY is out, we will give the highlander to my now 13 y.o. and switch to MY.
Now, I have seen many many 'experts' on here who obviously do not have a single fucking clue of what they are talking about. They love to ignore facts and stats. These are the same far right assholes who will push fake news and actually believe some of that shit.
There is very little doubt that more than a few of you are on the kock bros payrolls. Very sad.
With just a few exceptions in time, there has been a space station in orbit since the late 60s. IOW, 50 years of flying space stations, and no major failures in terms of blowouts. Plenty of micro meteoroids have hit them and punctured spacecrafts, but again, no major blow-out due to that.
when I was growing up, they built the 747. I knew ppl that thought they were experts swore that these would come crashing out of the sky because they were too big.
Amazing how stupid some of these ppl really are.
The biggest failure will be from a terrorists, which will mean that at SOME point, they will revert the system to having airport like security. Otherwise, the points of failure on this should be fairly low. The idea of a catastrophic failure just is not likely.
The real problem will be if electricity fails, or something on the train fails and it gets stuck in the tube.
I do think that rather than having just 2 tubes, they would be wise to have no less than 3 going together. That way, they can have a spare tube to replace one, OR if it is a commuter type approach, then have 2 going in the same direction in the AM and then switch the 3rd tube to the opposite direction in the evening.

Actually, Tesla solar is cheaper than competition. Likewise, Tesla model S/X/3 are much cheaper than their direct competitors.

Yeah, I'm married to an Indian.
Have u looked at your postings? I was returning the favor.
Not only are you a fucking idiot with absolutely no idea of what is happening in India, let along Asia, but you have no grasp of how to use Google.
Here is one google that will help you.
Here, about another that shows India Russian weapons that they collaborate on together in the same fashion that America, UK, and Canada do.
Then for some MORE fun, look up where the MAJORITY of Indians who travel abroad for an education, GO. It is NOT America. It is Russia. It has been that way since the 60s and remains currently.
Actually, India's closest allie happens to be Russia and Iran. India is only close to the west for economics.
About 13% of the population are foreign-born.

actually, all tesla drivers make heavy use of the touch screen. BUT, it is the core, not all of the rest.
the model Y will have the FALCON wing doors. Tesla does not have gull wing doors since they do not work.
relax.

we own a model S and believe me, it autodarkens, and I am sure that model 3 does as well.
Wiper controls are NOT on the UI.
and the nice thing is that you are NOT required to take your eyes off the road.
Oddly though, many of the same assholes who are gripping about this, will no doubt use a regular phone and will dial while driving.
relax. The model 3 has both automatic lights AND wipers. This posting is total BS.
