I sound agree price isn’t always the best factor to determine a monopoly.
Walmart use to go into a town, sell everything cheap and drive everything else out of business.
It’s one of the many reason I hate Walmart.
Growing up we have a cool downtown area. It wasn’t big but had a bunch of small stores. They all closed within a year of Walmart.
I mean yes but in the case no.
Most customers are not demanding it.
That isn’t what I said at all. It’s weird that you would come to that conclusion. What I clearly said is his change is just repeating what he was told to say. I don’t think his views changed, he is just repeating what people want to hear.
Old captain crunch is another one that turned out to be a weirdo
I would say it’s not a sincere change. It’s groupthink.
Well the skit keeps getting smaller and smaller
I had never heard that about him. That’s disappointing.
You could, but the OP is talking about the people who became filthy rich or at least notable. I don’t know if Tom ever made any real money. Almost all of the people listed used their corporate power to smash competition and dominate the market.
If anything, Stallman is the antithesis of most of these people.
Stallman is a notable figure in the industry but he was never the leader of a large tech company. That’s probably why he’s a decent guy
I think it’s easier to name the people who have been decent in tech. Woz seems like a decent guy.
Ted Waite all in all was decent. Not perfect but decent.
The level of subscriptions has become insane
Sorry missed a word.
Severance is not required by law. So no, it doesn’t grant them severance.
My thoughts were also about phantom breaking, but I don’t know if it is still an issue.
I haven’t had an issue with it for over a year but according to others it’s still a real issue. The car will just slam on the breaks for some odd reason. I don’t want to say no reason because the car thinks there is a valid reason but there isn’t. I’m more likely to have the issue on a sunny day, by a bridge when I’m the only car in front of me.
Since I’m a conservative, I have many fans who follow me around and downvote anything I say. It’s sad they think that gives them power over me or that I care.
As long as someone is having a discussion. They’ll never get a downvote from me.
The driver assist is pretty damn good. It’s so good many people trust it to much. They’ll read email. Crawl in the back seat. You can go to Amazon and buy things to make it seems like your hands are on the wheel. Now the article did say EV are more likely to be read ended. I do wonder if that’s because of the phantom breaking.
They have the worst accident rates among all brands and their driving assist features either can’t keep idiots from making bad decisions or, worse, even amplify the dangerous effects that idiots create while driving
You need the study to clarify that. Oddly the first article says accidents but when you see how it’s defined, tickets such as spending are called an accident
I have not found an article that breaks down other EV since there are few of them and lumped in with brand as a whole.
You’ll see ram and Subaru are comparable to tesla
From the article
Scherr’s statements echoed findings by insurance analysts at LexisNexis who found that, when vehicle owners switch from gasoline-powered cars to electric cars, they tend to crash more. Drivers also tend to crash somewhat more when switching to gas-powered vehicles, too, but the increase is more pronounced with EVs. The increase in incidents is highest during the first year or so after drivers get the new electric vehicle, but then tapers off after that, according to LexisNexis, presumably as people get used to driving the new model. There is much less of a problem when a driver changes from a gasoline-powered vehicle to another gas-powered one, they found. But LexisNexis researchers had previously noticed similar trends in China, where there are many more EVs – including more that aren’t Teslas. Crashes are even more frequent in households with both a gas and an electric model, indicating that regularly switching from one to another exacerbates the issues. And the fact that crash frequency lessens with time also suggests that unfamiliarity has something to do with it, said Xiaohui Lu, head of EV research at LexisNexis Risk Solutions,
It’s why Tesla is in the news. The same stats run similar for other EV but nobody cares.
The article explains it’s switch from gas to ev and ev to gas and not as much about Tesla
Here, you will see ford is under investigation for its system
Wal-Mart does a lot of things I don’t agree with. Their labor practices along with their sourcing and many other things make them the last place I will shop.
