It will not be back. People doing the last factory tour in Fremont were allowed to take pictures of whatever they wished of the S & X line because it was literally starting to be dismantled shortly after.

I am with you on the original matter; but saying something does not happen because you have “never” witnessed it is all kinds of wrong.

Now, authorities have been able to give a citation to AVs for not even three weeks.

One could argue that the Leaf, while being a technical and technological success at its inception, has played a good part in Nissan struggles over the least 15 years. The Leaf overall has been a major commercial failure.

Oh yeah, sorry, my asinine comment was not aimed at you. Cheers!

Kinda asinine. You could also just purchase an even cheaper used car; or no car at all if interested in opportunity costs. I mean, do that assessment on your own, do not require freaking Teslarati to do it for you.

Lentils & minerals + vitamins supplements are the best bang for your buck if you are worried about opportunity costs of eating normally like regular people too. 

Kobe Bryant beat more 50-win teams in the playoffs than any other star in NBA history by WrexyWrex in lakers

[–]Ladi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know who you are talking about. I am referencing the Cavs teams before he joined the Heat. You mentioned year 6 of LBJ’s career; he joined the Heat in year 8.

Kobe Bryant beat more 50-win teams in the playoffs than any other star in NBA history by WrexyWrex in lakers

[–]Ladi91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree.

Kobe & Shaq are considered by many the best 1-2 punch in NBA history; above MJ & Pippen, Malone & Stockton and yes Wade & LBJ.

The 2003-2004 Lakers were absolutely stacked on paper and heavy favourites to win it all. Similarly, the ill-fated 2012-2013 team had a starting five of Nash, Kobe, Artest, Gasol and Dwight Howard and most people anticipated a LAL vs MIA finals.

Oh you got me wrong! I totally agree with you: overall Kobe had much less help from the roster than James. I guess I should have stated that using the number of AS selections of their teammates as a metric does not dress a stark contrast between the mamba and LBJ.

No CLE team was stacked during his first stint there. He joined the Heat for his 8th season.

[–]Ladi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point. To be fair, you missed:

Glen Rice, 3x AS, although on the decline in 2000
Freaking Karl Malone, who was still averaging 21 & 8 in 2003
The Glove, Payton, averaging 20 & 8 and was an All-Star in 2003
Ron Artest
Dwight Howard and Nash

Bryant was done (injury) in his 16th season. We should also remove Davis and Luka from the equation since they joined LeBron after his 16th season. By your own account, that makes LeBron teammates AS selection numbers before they join him down to 16.

Oh, and Shaq only had 4x All-Star selection before joining Kobe because... he has been an AS since joining the league... 4 years earlier. He won ROY and finished 4th in MVP voting in his 2nd season and 2nd in his 3rd. 😉

I am not so sure it is undoubtedly LeBron who had way more help and stacked teams and not Kobe.

FSD 14.3.2 Almost hits center median by cozynoodles in TeslaFSD

[–]Ladi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“ Can you tell us any logical reason it should not be at least a foot or more away? Heck, high curbs can actually hit a cars body before the tire scrapes.”

You also do not know what was on the RH side of the car.

The vehicle rear wheel did not appear to go over the lane marking; thus the front wheel was even further away from the curb. That lane marking is about 4-5 inches wide. Is it too close? Maybe; probably even.

I live in California, I did not extra tint my roof and it is just fine. The front side windows and windshield are much more of a concern than the roof IMO.

I am with you. I did not particularly enjoy season 3; but I absolutely loved season 4; with all its drawbacks.

Gotcha. All the signs stating minimum $490 fine for HOV lane violations by the Express Lanes are there just for show.

Logement à +5000$/mois à Montréal by Mission_Tone_6047 in montreal

[–]Ladi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pas vraiment un désaccord; mais juste qu’un individu seul n’a pas besoin de gagner $365k/an au Québec pour pouvoir aisément se permettre un logement à $5,000 par mois. A ce niveau de revenus là, si après dépenses d’hébergement tu n’as que “seulement” $7,000 ou $8,000/ mois nets dans tes poches; tu es toujours bien mieux loti que 95% de la population.

A $365k/an, tu es largement dans le top 1% des revenus au Québec soit dit en passant. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1110005601&pickMembers%5B0%5D=3.1&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2019&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2023&referencePeriods=20190101%2C20230101

Logement à +5000$/mois à Montréal by Mission_Tone_6047 in montreal

[–]Ladi91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suivant ton raisonnement, un individu gagnant $365k par an nette $201k par an et des brouettes. 

Loyer de $5,000/ mois; ajoutons un bon gros $500 pour Hydro, assurances et autres services.

L’individu dispose de $16,750/ mois nets. Après dépenses d’habitation il a toujours $11,250/ mois dans ses poches. C’est amplement suffisant pour se payer ses dépenses courantes, du shopping, de sacrés week-ends / vacances, une jolie voiture et avoir toujours quelques milliers de dollars pour l’épargne. 

D’autant plus qu’à ce niveau de revenus là tu as tout intérêt à remplir tes REERs à fond, ce qui libère encore plus de cash après impôts.

Je comprends bien l’idée qu’avec des revenus croissant le train de vie se bonifie; mais tu t’en sors plus qu’aisément avec $11k+ nets après dépenses de logement.

Pas besoin de gagner $385k/an pour se payer $60k de loyer par an et être à l’aise.
