    This one Mexican spot I go to has at the bottom of their menu that if your bill is over $50 then there is an automatic 20% gratuity included in the final bill. I'm not a fan of this policy as I've always been a solid tipper having been in the industry so long myself.


    I get into this discussion with my dad all the time. You can be the greatest tipper of all time, you could tip 100%. It doesn’t matter because you are one person and the policy exists because so many people don’t tip even 15%. Your one good tip doesn’t negate the bad tippers, not even close.

    What restaurant is surprisingly good?

    I went with my family to Fogo De Chao last week and it was surprisingly excellent. Unlimited pao de quiejo, fried polenta sticks (gluten free), and mashed potatoes which the  rodizio. The meat quality was surprisingly excellent. They also served us grilled cheese on one of the rodizio spits and then drizzled honey all over it. That was mind blowingly good.

    Tesla will be fine. 
     

    It’s very not true. While he has certainly destroyed Twitter, Musk has steered spacex and tesla very well.

    The hate a few here have for him preclude them from ever admitting he isn’t stupid, and is one of the most successful businessmen in the tech sector because he’s good at both lobbying and using government funding, as well as forcing through things like NACS through sheer force of will and by crushing opponents, which has proven necessary to succeed in Capitalistic society. 
     

     

     

    How did he force NACS through by crushing opponents? Who did he crush?

     

    Which has proven necessary to succeed in Capitalistic society? Respectfully, what the hell are you talking about?

    Do it enough and if stores don’t outright ban it the costs will go up and so called savings would disappear

     

    plus cutting most fruits and veggies speeds up how quickly they go bad


    Yeah the second reason is why I would never do it.

    Not really, as has been previously covered Tesla and SpaceX both have small armies of Muskrat babysitters whose job is just making sure Muskrat doesn't getain anyone's way while making him feel like he's a big boy making the big decisions. 


    I don’t know how true that is, but let’s say it is, why would you then have doubts about Tesla’s future?

    The more I've thought about this, the more it makes me think it could be the thing that dooms Tesla. Right now Tesla has two "moats" that keep them as the number one electric car company in the country. The first and most important is their ability to actually produce EVs. That's also the thing that their far larger competitors will inevitably meet and exceed. The second and is their charging network, which also happens to be their biggest advantage over their rivals as of today. If you buy an EV right now, I feel like the refrain is often that you can buy what many would argue is a worse car, but it comes with far and away the best charging network. Next year if you can buy a Ford or a Volvo or a BMW or a Polestar or almost anything else and you can use the Supercharger network, the incentive to buy a Tesla is greatly reduced.

     

    Maybe it's a very forward thinking move from Tesla and they can turn the Supercharger network into a huge profit center, but compared to selling cars that is hard to imagine. Assuming that supercharger revenue is in the "Services and Other" revenue, that's only 7% of their total in Q1 23, and I'd guess that Supercharger revenue is only a small fraction of that number. 


    Tesla’s future isn’t as a car manufacturer. It’s a software company.

    I want a sedan so there aren’t a ton of options in my price point. There is the Musk Mobile, Polestar, and Ioniq 6.  I am thinking of leasing the Ioniq 6 so I can get the $7500 tax credit. 


    Musk Mobile might be your best option at this point. You get the ev rebate credit and I think they’re giving 3 months of supercharging too now.

    The market can sort out what winds up being the standard but it can't actually be a real standard under the sole control of a single company. The current path is just Tesla/pedo guy Afrikaner apartheid billionaire having monopoly control of electric car charging in North America.


    What is he going to do? It’s not like he can shut down non Tesla NACS chargers because he feels like it.
