    If it were ~ $100 cheaper which most early purchase season pass products are, I would have picked it up now. Since it's only $20 I'll wait until the fall and see if my kid is ready. If he isn't I'll just buy day tickets when I can make it

    They are advertising the "get your season pass at it's lowest price before it's too late!!!" on Instagram though. Well maybe it's not paid advertising.

    Was debating whether to pick up the early bird season pass with the oldest turning 4 in the fall and the great network they've made with local partner hills. But only a savings of two 🍻 at the bar :LOL:?? I love Platty but their pricing incentives have never made much sense:

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    $41K at the top end is pretty cheap when you consider that the average new car transaction price is $47,401 https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/kbb-atp-january-2024/

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Yeah no doubt there are other competitors, though when you really compare Most of them to the Y on a true apples to apples basis they are still not really that competitive. The touring trim of the Prologue with AWD has a range of 270 mi and a price tag of 55K, vs 310 mi and 47K for the Y (both...

    I really like the Y FWIW and think the single screen is fine. Even with the newer suspension that I apparently have I'll admit the ride quality is rough with pot holes. Though I suppose that's also counterbalanced by it being fairly planted on the pavement and in turns despite it's weight...

    He fired the Super Charging team not the FSD team. He's going all in on FSD. I tested the latest build yesterday 12.3.6. Even if they get the neural net up to or beyond human skill levels, and train it on every possible random scenario, I don't think FSD will ever work until they put the...

    It's for a past payment that a Delaware judge threw out. It's why he's trying to move the incorporation to Texas

    Musk is laying off something like 15K people and giving them all of 2 months severance. At the same time he wants a $50 Billion payout. Capitalism at its finest.

    For Tesla it's terrible, and for EVs short term it's bad too. But in the long run maybe this will convince others to get into the market so all (reliable) charging isn't a monopoly

    There's no they, it's just one psychopath. He wants to turn Tesla into an AI company. Cars and chargers are boring now

    If there's indeed a shortage a of truck drivers doesn't this make their jobs better, and potentially more valuable? They no longer have to sleep on the road and can return home after their shift. From the shippers perspective, they can move more product and the value of each additional driver...

    FWIW on the highways I find FSD to be safer then the Automatic Cruise and Lane keeping assist on my Alltrack. They give you just enough autonomy to zone out for a few seconds but they don't react fast enough when someone cuts you off, or when there is a sudden stoppage. Humans aren't great...

    Most likely not. When I occasionally turn it on in local roads to test it out I end up taking over eventually. On the highways and major thorofares, (ex rt 59 in Nanuet) you would most likely not need to intervene is my experience. I haven't watched this particular video but this guy does...

    CATL LFP is currently the cheaper, less dense battery option that Tesla uses on it's base models. The advantage though is that it "likes" being at 100%

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Not gonna pretend I understand all of this, and there's a bit of smoke and mirrors around what car this battery is actually attached to, but China again at the forefront: 620 Miles of Range With 370 Mi Charging in 10 Minutes That's pretty damn close to ICE for filling up on a road trip. Not...

    How do you feel about the $14 Billion we give in subsidies to the oil and gas industry every year? Even if all 1.2 Million EVs sold in the 2023 qualified for the full $7500 tax credit that's still only $10 Billion total. I'd be fine with letting EVs stand on their own performance if ICE did...

    Funny, you posted from Cox Automative which refuted your own claim, Do you even read the sources that you cite? https://nyskiblog.com/forum/threads/ice-v-electric-cost-and-emissions.803/post-74478
