@niccruzpatane It's all about the price not the monthly payment. The tesla costs 10k more and has a lower value proposition. The Corolla is a hybrid and can serve you for over a decade if you treat her right.

This is how affordable Teslas have become. For just $30 more per month, you can lease a Tesla Model 3 RWD ($36,990), over a Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE ($26,558). Same term, same money down. The Tesla has a starting price of nearly $10K more. What a deal.

Delta Airlines CEO in new interview on why they chose Amazon Leo over @Starlink: “Amazon brings a lot more than just satellite technology. They bring great retailing capability and Amazon Prime and video gaming technologies, which Starlink does not have. I think the opportunities, in terms of the improved bandwidth with a much lower price point than what we’ve ever seen from Starlink, will make a big difference. Of course, we expect Starlink will be warning people that we’re going to go with an inferior product. But I’m not too worried about partnering with Amazon.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@arv9293 @KobeissiLetter It's perfectly normal. Those who save have assets, those who do not have nothing. Live within your means. If something is expensive do without or trade down.

The Kobeissi Letter
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter·
Asset owners have been shielded from inflation: ~55% of consumers with no stock market ownership cited high prices as the reason for worse personal finances in May, the highest in at least 10 years. At the same time, consumers in the bottom two-thirds of stock ownership in the survey reported a similar level of strain. By comparison, only ~40% of consumers in the top third of stock ownership cited high prices as a concern. This puts the gap between top stockholders and those with no stock ownership at ~15 percentage points, the widest since mid-2024. Excluding 2024, this is the largest divergence in over a decade. This comes as the historic market rally has shielded wealthy consumers from inflation while the rest of America bears a disproportionately larger burden. Own assets or be left behind.

@kay35230827 @KobeissiLetter It was never Powell's job to stand up to Trump. Trump is the elected President of the United States and sets the policy of the country with the authority granted to him. Trump is both allowed and expected to be political. The Fed Chairman is not.

@Lightfoot_BT @KobeissiLetter I do not think Powell was political. He didn’t bow to Trump. Does that make him political? I am a Trump supporter but don’t always agree with his treatment of people who have a different opinion.

@Rainmaker1973 They better. Historically humans have been made out of dog food. I'm pretty sure this is what makes them domesticated.

Your dog likely loves you more than anything — and science finally proves it. A new brain-imaging study has provided scientific proof of what most dog owners have always suspected: many dogs love their humans even more than they love food. Published in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, the research led by Emory University neuroscientist Gregory Berns used fMRI scans to watch how dogs’ brains lit up in response to different rewards. Dogs were first trained to associate one toy with food and another with enthusiastic praise from their owner. The findings were striking: while a few dogs leaned toward treats and some showed no clear favorite, a remarkable four out of the fifteen participants consistently chose praise over food—even when both were offered at the same time. For those dogs, the neural reward centers activated more strongly for their owner’s happy voice than for the promise of a snack. This builds on earlier work from the same lab showing that dogs’ brains respond more powerfully to their owner’s scent than to the scent of any other person or dog. The message is clear: for a significant number of dogs, the bond with their human isn’t just about getting fed. They genuinely crave our affection and approval, which means praise can be every bit as motivating (and far healthier) than treats when it comes to training and strengthening that special relationship.

@Hoofz @DillonLoomis @NHTSAgov It's not a problem that the car obeys the law. The problem is two fold; 1 the law is too restrictive for the real world, and 2 the law is never enforced so there is no expectation for people to obey it.

@Teslarati No wonder why I notice Teslas slow down way too much even before they hit their brakes. Honestly it pisses me off.

Teslas use Regenerative Braking, which means that, when your car is in motion, the vehicle will slow down and feed any surplus power back to the battery pack. This helps recycle energy, increase range, enable one-pedal driving, and makes brakes have a longer life

@benedikt_freude @SawyerMerritt If everyone is using a digital queue, it is easier to determine where capacity is needed. And this is still necessary during high traffic periods like holidays or natural disasters because you can't build out enough capacity for the once per year peak.

@SawyerMerritt I'm not a fan of this tbh. Unnecessary complexity. The best queue is no queue. It's great how they're already managing utilisation via smart estimation and navigation, but if that's not enough to eliminate charging queues, it's time to build more capacity.

Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt·
Tesla has started to build out its Virtual Queue feature for Tesla Superchargers. This feature will let owners wait in a virtual queue when a Supercharger is full, instead of having to wait in a physical line with their vehicle. When a driver is near a Supercharger at capacity, they’ll be allowed to join the queue. Based on when the vehicle joined the queue, Tesla will manage whose turn it is to charge next. Tesla won’t be disabling charging at the Supercharger stall directly, as there are messages in the app that state: “There is a waitlist to charge. Are you sure you want to start a charging session now?” So it sounds like drivers will need to be respectful of the queue and whose turn it is to charge. via @NotATeslaApp

The Production Tesla Cybercab features a Glossy finish rather than the Matte finish found on earlier prototypes. The new Gold also looks much richer and deeper. Looks incredible.

As of Jan. 1, 2026, the majority of CO voters are now Independents — outnumbering Democrats, Republicans and all other affiliations combined. This is a significant milestone — and one that partisans ignore at their own peril. Join the movement today.
