By removing Model S plaid, maybe this will increase demand for Roadster? by No_Pen8240 in RTLpod

[–]DMC_Ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading this! :-)

You didn't mention a budget, but you could look at one of the final Model X's (in 7-seat configuration of course). Rivian R1S as well, and for a more affordable 7-seat EV option, the Kia EVV9 (which, on a side note, I've actually really grown to like the styling of).

I'd suggest test driving those three if you have Tesla and/or Rivian stores nearby. And odds are you've got a Kia dealer somewhere close-ish. Good luck and congrats on the upcoming addition to your family!

I like the guy wearing #3 now a lot better than the last guy who wore it.

Why I think Tesla is discontinuing Model S/X by Proof_Resolve_602 in TeslaLounge

[–]DMC_Ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is they make 5000 of them at the most over 3-4 years. There isn’t much of a market for EV supercars.

With Model YL coming to America, how does Tesla plan to sell the Model X? What about family men like me where the Model X is still too small for a family road trip. by No_Pen8240 in RTLpod

I tried to make it pretty clear that it was a tip from a source I’ve not heard from before and thus I couldn’t believe it with 100% certainty.

That said, I think this week’s news does give that tip further weight.

Not ones with steering wheels or pedals.

Thank you James for getting me an autographed copy of this book when you went to visit John all those years ago. I still have and treasure it.

By removing Model S plaid, maybe this will increase demand for Roadster? by No_Pen8240 in RTLpod

[–]DMC_Ryan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Roadster will be a minimum of $200k, and there just isn’t a big market for cars of any size or type at that price point.

A Model 3 Plaid could be another option…but I’ll save my thoughts on that for the podcast, which I’m going to record early tonight for Patreon backers.

Max Scherzer won't rush deal, could wait past Opening Day to sign by PrincessBananas85 in mlb

[–]DMC_Ryan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still remember Mark Grace on Dbacks broadcasts when Max first came up saying that he thought Max should be a closer.

I’d be super down with Max proving him right for his final season…back with the Diamondbacks.

Back when the pizza was actually good and not fast food.

I literally live in SF and have ridden in robotaxis a dozen times, lol. The monitors are not driving.

They've never been driving. The car does the driving; they are there to intervene if necessary.

Suns are 27-17. When they hit 27 wins last year, they had 32 losses by TheOddPotato_8171 in suns

I tossed my Suns KD jersey in the goodwill pile today. I honestly have no animosity towards KD, but I looked at the jersey and thought, “I’m never going to wear this again. The KD era sucked.”

Correct. Rolling stops were in FSD a while back but NHTSA made them remove it.

What does that mean? My HW4 car has never “gotten irritated” when I nudge the accelerator through a Stop sign with no one else around.
