when you think about it anything that’s in the best interest of elon musk is in the best interest of shareholders because he’s saving humanity

Sure as poo poo the week after i got my car, i started getting daily siriusxm mailers and they started calling me. I got on their DNC list real fast and it seems to have taken, but i really wish i would have known to tell the dealer not to give my name and address to them.

you get a month free when you buy a car from a dealership if its got the radio, and i tried it out. It sounds like a loving 64kbps WMA. maybe if you listen to howard stern ityool 2022, but it's worthless for music.

I'm removing the little sirius sharkfin on it and replacing it with a ham radio antenna.

Sirius sounds loving awful. It is noticeably worse than FM radio. I cannot believe it still exists as a solvent company.

because, while she hasn't announced it to my knowledge, feinstein clearly isn't running with katie porter and adam schiff both announcing their candidacy (and the latter saying he got feinstein's blessing)

i also suspect neither elon nor adams understand california's jungle primary system where adams wouldn't be running against schiff (or porter or feinstein), but against all of them as well as every republican that decides to run

Wikipedia article currently claims:


quote:

As of 2017, Sirius XM had approximately a 75% penetration rate in the new car market. Out of that 75%, approximately 40% become subscribers.

No loving way. There is no way that 30% of people who have bought a car since 2017 have a satellite radio subscription.
