Threads launched a webapp a while ago. They also seem to be aggressively tweaking their algorithm to show current/relevant poo poo rather than just random "What's your favorite color" posts from Celebrities

My mistake; it was halfway down the search page behind the phone app, the wiki page for the movie, the Slack variant, the imdb page for the movie, and the magazine.

This doesn't actually address anything I said. The vast majority of cars in the road are ICE. That's not going to change anytime soon. Carmakers have invested into EVs primarily because the law requires them to in terms of emissions, and because they are massively subsidized. The idea that GM or Honda or Toyota will sell primarily EVs within a year or two, or that EVs will outnumber gas vehicles on the road within that time span, is ludicrous. You are wrong and you don't understand how the car industry works. Nothing happens in one or two years because it takes longer than that just to design a model and start producing it in numbers.

Your characterization of me is pretty hilarious as well. I suppose your normal response to actual reality is to call those who disagree with you poor, but you should work on that. I said in my post that I used to own an EV, and currently I own an Acura. Maybe it is just a fancy Honda, of course it is, but obviously that's fine because it has the features I need. Plus, I like Hondas and Toyotas.

I know people who drive Jaguars and Bentleys and even Lamborghinis. But I know a whole lot more people who drive absolutely normal cars, and wouldn't spend forty grand on a vehicle, much less 80. They generally buy used, and that means ICE.

Apple is completely different, even relatively low earners can afford to spend a thousand dollars on something like a phone. Buying a car is a completely different proposal, literally 40 times more expensive in your cheapest example.

Go look at how much the average person makes in this country. It's about 60 grand, but obviously most of that is spoken for: rent, groceries, health care, clothes, etc.

Anyways I've comprehensively demonstrated how wrong you are so I guess I will stop there.





No one thinks that anyone was going to immediately start smelting 10 year old ICE cars and besides leases, kind of, automakers don't give a gently caress about anything but a new car sale, which is quickly accelerating towards EVs in every major market for new cars. Dealers do and are attempting to sabotage EV sales accordingly, but auto makers already hate their dealers and eventually consumer demand will force dealers hand. And you didn't understand what I said, I said given the time horizon of car development, in 2-3 years EVs are going to start to appeal to a lot more market niches in new car sales and auto makers will adjust their investment in ICE development accordingly.

Look, for a long time 3rd-4th owner ICE cars are going to be appealing to people that can't afford more, ICE cars will still be a good chunk of production for awhile, like you can still buy a new Chrysler 300 that was last redesigned in 2011, but car companies in the next couple of years will invest all the new gadgets, gizmos and technology into EVs, you know, the reason people buy new cars.

Absolutely, AND THEY DON'T BUY NEW CARS!

All these companies aren't pulling ads. They're just pausing them.

They still support Musk.

The response to someone tweeting "Hitler did nothing wrong" shouldn't be a "time out". These guys are effectively saying that they're going to go sit in a corner and think about what musk did wrong.

Frankly, it seems like an endorsement to me. They will continue to pay him.

If the used car market doesn’t settle the gently caress down, i don’t know if people are gonna be jazzed about buying cars at all, be it new, used, gas or electric

they'll be back in a bit now that Musk has assured the Rapture crowd that he won't interfere in that domain anymore (read: before sometime next week)

I would've been one of the suckers who would pay pre-Musk Twitter any price they asked for access to TweetDeck, even if they wanted hundreds of dollars a month, because of how much I relied on it for work (and not wanting to drop $20,000 a year just for Bloomberg Terminal access at home).

Now I've gone through the process to wean myself from using Twitter entirely because lmao at relying on that platform
