you would think that native asian people would get it worse
but lolno they have national culture industries, esp korea
so this is really a symptom of asian dudes alienated from a culture in which they're portrayed as the handsome ones

oh but you can, its called UK Dr Pepper

It looks like they recently started using some artificial sweetners in the UK version, to cut back on the amount of actual sugar. It also appears that for a while there was something called Heritage Dr Pepper that was like the Dublin formula only more readily available. I don't see it on their current products page on their website.

So basically, gently caress Dr Pepper.

kinda shocked that the base model has a shorter range than the chevy bolt.

well, nissan has the Leaf v. 2 reveal in september, we'll see how that is

elon musk is a showboater peak capitalist rear end in a top hat and it's loving hilarious that their ugly rear end car with a big retarded tablet display doesn't have as good of a range as the bolt which is about as expensive

soft drinks seem remarkably resilient to true market segmentation
the most ridiculous kombuchas and poo poo can't afford to be more than $5/bottle

same deal with soju i guess
moon jaein drinks the same soju as the average schmuck
altho the guy does a lot of things systematically the same as the average schmuck
it helps differentiate you from the billion-dollar cultist i guess

i sort of imagine that they rushed the shipping enormously to ship the 3 before the next economic recession
the roadster came out 2008, so after that period they had tailwinds the entire time, and they couldn't have done it without the ridiculous financing they got the entire way, public and private

money is the cheapest right now that it's been in all of human history, and tesla was one of the few super-capital-limited companies in this time

the space race was in large part a way of figuring out things that helped in doing that, to up the reliability, to unfuck the controls, be able to practice without getting your face smashed in, etc etc

i mean, a lot of the excesses of the valley companies in this period have basically been caused from them literally having too much money

"can't do dividends, what do"
"hmm can do rsu's do that"
"ok, still have $200 billion lying around"

money is the cheapest right now that it's been in all of human history, and tesla was one of the few super-capital-limited companies in this time

almost every single other thing i've heard is teslas are an utter shitshow and, surprise, electric parts break down a lot in different ways from a traditional engine

of course some car manufacturers will do this better but teslas do nothing but break and they're a loving nightmare to get fixed because it's not some poo poo you can take to one of the million chevy/ford/nissan/honda/etc dealerships out there, and you're paying 100k+ for the privilege to beta test their garbage

meanwhile they totally miss the loving point of why people buy six figure cars

tesla is pretty much dead within 3-5 years imo once the model 3 comes out and underwhelms compared to stuff like the bolt which isn't perfect but is already way ahead because chevy et al have more money and a century of experience
