The wait is almost over. The first R2 variant, featuring dual motors and all-wheel drive, launches this spring. We’ll be sharing full details—pricing, options and more—on March 12. That’s just 4 weeks and 2 days from today. But who’s counting? *Prototype vehicles shown. Final design, equipment and accessories for actual production vehicle may differ.

Had a VERY fun dinner party/group workshopping of my brother’s Hinge profile. We debated prompts & responses, photos, & relative strength of matches, using 2 screens - 1 for photos & 1 for the profile. Big diff bw men’s suggestions (with innuendo) and women’s (anti innuendo).

A lot of people don't understand this, but it's 100% true, depending on where you live. From 300k to 1mm, the precarity is the same as being poor - paycheck to paycheck. It's just that the numbers are bigger. - Most people in the aspirational class live in more expensive cities where the hobbies are costlier. Rich people in Texas enjoy backyard barbecues and drive F150s, but in Greenwich, you need a Range Rover, and in Hong Kong, you need bottle service every Friday just to fit in. - It's expensive having rich friends. Nothing is worse than seeing a billionaire grab the wine list at dinner, because they never expect to pay the tab. - If you're in the aspirational class, and trying to keep up, when someone invites you to their house in the Hamptons or on their plane, you have to reciprocate. - You always think that next year's bonus will be bigger. So it'll be easier to save $10 in the future than it is to worry about $1 today.

I think this is a brilliant observation from Lulu: people root for you when they think you deserve more than you've got, and root against you when it's the opposite. It captures an essential element of good comms...how can you help people think you're underrated rather than overrated? People are very motivated to correct the record in either direction, or as Lulu puts it, "We're all kind of reputational karens."
