Just to provide an alternate perspective: I would rather pay a million dollars for an electric car from Tesla than continue to enrich all the vile oil barons of the world.
Yes! I am amazed at the general attitude of skepticism expressed in response to the Bloomberg article.
BTW, Amazon doesn't know anything about security. Every day I observe examples of people who work there, wittingly or unwittingly, doing things to erode any security that might happen to be in place. It's almost entirely run by below average people scrapped up and recruited from the dregs of third world countries.
I also don't mind the pocket button and I actually want to use it to save my bookmarks. But two things are making that hard for me:
1) My employer has disabled the button in firefox. I can work around this by signing in in any browser but there is something weird that happens. I think I have to allow all kinds of google javascript spyware to run some kind of captcha to be able to sign in.
2) The saved links do not refer to the original sites I've saved. They are some kind of click-through tracking spyware.
Also the tagging feature seems hard to use. As I recall it seemed difficult to filter using multiple tags.
If it was more like Delicious I'd be happy with it.
Yes. I agree with this comment. The last quarter of Model 3 production nearly doubled from the previous quarter and I assume that the number of staff to handle all the paperwork and logistics did not increase in proportion.
Anyway, I took delivery of my Model 3 Sep 28th and here's my experience. They emailed me two weeks in advance to schedule pickup at the delivery center in Fremont on Saturday Sep 29th. Then a week later they called me and let me know that they could deliver the car to my house on a Monday. I was set to take delivery on Monday but then after the delivery time had passed, a manager called me to let me know they weren't able to get the car out that day and they'd get back to me to schedule another delivery date. A couple of days later they emailed me and said they could bring the car to me on Friday, and this time they showed up with the car, a little late, around 10:30pm. Overall it was a great experience. I really appreciate that they drove the car to me and it only took a few minutes to sign the paperwork.
Despite the delays and rescheduling several times it was a much much better experience than the (first, last and hopefully only) experience I had at the Toyota dealership in buying my previous car.
I am just over the moon thinking about the fact that I may never have to visit a gas station or get a smog check or have to discuss the problems of idling solenoids with mechanics ever again.
