"luxury" is itself already meaningless. i buy pre-moistened wipes from amazon. my butthole knows luxury that 99.whatever percent of humanity has never known.

YA BOY ETHAN COUCH posted:what are we talking about here? is there some artisanal car company that makes bespoke luxury cars that yospos approves of? because in one thread people say that Audis, BMWs, Mercedes are trash for middle managers and then in another thread suddenly they're luxury cars. luxury cars: bentley, rolls-royce, maybach; bmw 7-series and mercedes s-class; a few boutique manufacturers. interior fit and finish of a tesla is on about the same level as a mid-range bmw 3 series, which is not a "luxury car" unless your baseline is mom's rust-eaten 1996 corolla. so, half of tesla's shutin programmer target market.

Wrath of the Bitch King posted:somebody explain the obvious as to why this is bad, tia unlike yospos favorite steve jobs, elon releases products with arguably very big compromises for a very high margins and to do so he forsakes his family and loved ones. I mean one day he might run his company into bankruptcy and have to be bailed out by a incumbent competitor.

and whats worse is that he's not the one actually doing anything, way smarter people are building and designing the technology and he's just an executive taking credit for it.

You get to hire $289/hour Certified Tesla Glass Roofwalkers to fix the loving leak that will pop up every couple of years, instead of hiring the $49/hour Any Roofer On The loving Planet. certainly they won't surge price tesla roof repairs after a hail/wind storm. There's no way they'd be that cruel.

you can get the exact same solar power setup with panels, they don't ruin your roof and they're half the price.

its the model x/s of solar: tech bros with too much money and no sense of anything will buy it because musk says it will look good on their big ol' mediterranean plywood box ~it looks just like slate/clay tile/etc~ uttered ad nauseam *revs M3/M4*

it's cool that Elon musk does rockets, it's hilarious that the rockets he usually does are the stuff the Russian space agency auctions off for scrap and then surprise, they explode because the fuel injection tubing is 40 years old and leaks

Bulgogi Hoagie posted:it's cool that Elon musk does rockets, it's hilarious that the rockets he usually does are the stuff the Russian space agency auctions off for scrap and then surprise, they explode because the fuel injection tubing is 40 years old and leaks i think you're thinking of Orbital ATK "The Antares 100-series first stage was powered by two Aerojet AJ26 engines. These began as Kuznetsov NK-33 engines built in the Soviet Union in the late 1960s and early 1970s, 43 of which were purchased by Aerojet in the 1990s. 20 of these were refurbished into AJ26 engines for Antares." the Falcon rockets are all new. no, spacex's hilarious failure is when their second stage blew up the first time NASA said "hey maybe y'all oughta look into that helium tank a bit more" and spacex said "nah brah that poo poo's solid, it's just the lovely subcontractor strut that failed. we fired their rear end, 'sall good." and then they had a second stage blow up on the pad and whoooooops turns out that COPV (composite overwrapped pressure vessel?) fails under certain circumstances that are more likely to occur under the new fueling scheme they recently implemented

The Management posted:teslas aren't luxury cars, they're just priced like one. there's nothing luxurious about them. right around release, a couple Tesla engineers drove a pair of mfr-plate Teslas to a roller derby bout my wife was working and parked next to my A6, to show off after the bout and answer questions and such they weren't nearly as nice as my Audi, but they did claim that the A6 was one of the cars on which they explicitly tried to model their interiors and feature set (lol no heads up display)

Wrath of the Bitch King posted:somebody explain the obvious as to why this is bad, tia well it's probably $6-8 bucks a watt installed plus unknown maintenance costs, compared to ~$4 a watt with well known maintenance costs for pv panels i think the big risk is repairs and replacement. in 5 years the musk man has grown bored and shut down the factory because now he's on to disrupting the riding lawnmower market, so if a shingle goes bad who knows where you can get a new one

angry_keebler posted:well it's probably $6-8 bucks a watt installed plus unknown maintenance costs, compared to ~$4 a watt with well known maintenance costs for pv panels I think it's a pretty good idea that expands the solar panel market into a niche it hasn't been in before despite its obvious drawbacks tbh like I wouldn't buy it because I actually like how normal solar panels look but I definitely know at least a few people who would like to be trendy and renewable without putting ugly panels on their home

Sup guys! How we feelin' but old Elon today? We still excited for all that updated infrastructure for his robot cars for the upper middle class and the subsidized bespoke solar roofs for new home construction? We still just 3-5 years out from autonomous cars being a reality? Ready for dat disruption?
