Was there a compelling reason for choosing the Model 3 over the Model Y? I’m also curious if you’ve driven long distance with it. I drive 250+ miles pretty regularly and wonder about the Supercharger experience.
Well back in 2019 there wasn't a model Y but I'm getting one soon! As for long trips, yeah there was some trepidation hearing of all the anti-tesla blocking tactics you hear, but none found so far. The longest has been to LA and back from SF and it's was smooth. The trip maker designs your trip so that you'll never be in danger of out of charge. Also made many trips to Tahoe from SF and no problem there either. Many charge points along the way also making it a nice pit stop for eats and restrooms.
Actually it's much like the old days of road trips where your trip isn't just the destination but the route to the your destination can be fun too.
PS> you can get onto Tesla's site and plan your trip. you can see for yourself depending on the Tesla model where you'll need to divert to charge if even needing to divert. Most Superchargers are along most major thoroughfares including some destination like SF Zoo has SC too. Here's the link: https://www.tesla.com/trips Here's a route from SF to LA based on my Model 3
$500? Top of the line devices in the last few years have crept above $1,000 USD. Not trying to nitpick but the difference there is a sizable chunk of the average person’s annual income.
Chiming in as a low-income person, yes these Flagship phones have been off of our radar for a very very long time. If I wanted to, I could go into Walmart and buy a perfectly capable locked simple mobile phone for $20 or maybe a bit more than that. There is no possible way that I consider spending multiple weeks worth of paycheck on something that could be broken or stolen easily. If I was going to treat myself to a nicer phone there are tons of great options for me to choose in the 100 or $200 range.
Yes, to your point I was at T Mobile a month or so ago waiting to buy a SIM card in line behind someone who was evaluating their “free” (i.e., carrier-financed) options. They had a choice of a number of Android handsets I’d never heard of.
On the other end of the scale, though, are the subsidies carriers pay to anyone who switches and trades in a quality device. When my partner joined my plan T Mobile paid a $700+ subsidy for his iPhone 11 in exchange for an iPhone 8.
So customers across the entire income scale finance. It’s just a matter of how lucrative that financing is for the customer. At the higher end of the scale where the customer has more choice it’s usually a much better deal.
Or how about the "mapping tech xodus" map that has no sources except in the image it credits ... themselves.
What an interesting website...

So to be objective, they just ingest a lot of other subjective news and do their own research but then don't post their own research? I'm a bit confused.
Maybe. But I learned a lot of useful skills working that weren't taught at school. And working, along with sports and clubs, kept me out of trouble. I tell my partner all the time that when we have kids they're getting jobs in high school.
2017 Toyota Prius. Excellent fuel economy and driver assistance features. My partner complains about the seats not being comfortable enough and I agree, to a certain extent.
Answering your question directly, I would teach them. I don't think I would assign texts, really.
My question means to ask how someone can intellectually pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I guess starting with basics may be one way of doing that.
I worked in food service jobs during high school on the weekend. I graduated a semester early and worked full-time in food service for a few months, too. Not a bad option and pretty common at my school c. 2010.
It would be interesting if Googlers were presented with this set of options: 1) work from the office with the included perks or 2) work remote and keep the resulting savings to the company as a bonus.
Perks cost a lot less to the employer due to wholesale pricing and the fact that very few employees actually use all of them. Employees opting for the latter option won't get as much as they think.
and taxes. Buy lunch yourself, its on after-tax wages. Employer buys you lunch, it is a tax write off for the employer.
Income tax at the marginal tax rate can reach nearly 40% for some of these workers. So that $10 lunch would require a pay-raise of nearly $17 to break-even.
