The Tesla is a bit cheaper. I don't think the Bolt has any Autopilot-like options. Far more importantly, the Bolt has no real fast charging infrastructure, either existing or planned. If you like to drive to places more than 200 miles away, there's still only one company with an EV that can reasonably do that.

35k is definitely a luxury vehicle.

Brand new cars like Honda Fit and Ford Focus are $15k. Nissan Maxima / Honda Accord is ~$22k starting.

$35k is where BMW and Lexus start. He's still competing against the luxury segment, but "entry" luxury.
Like Amazon spot instances.
People follow habits, so you can make uptime predictions.
"they provide a more luxurious experience at the same price point."

A much, much, much more luxurious experience.

The highest end, max-optioned Model S you can buy does not have as nice an interior as a decent 3 series or C class mercedes. It doesn't even beat out their low end.

Never mind the cars in its price range (A8/S class/7series). They're not even remotely comparable in terms of interior or luxury appointment.

I find it odd, actually ... of all the things you have to do to make a car, sourcing some decent highly adjustable seats and some nice leather appointments, etc., has to be the easiest. Further, you can just add a "luxury package" and option it at $9950 and call it a day ... and lots of people would buy it.
I used to really like Perl, but endless operator-obfuscation nonsense a la C++, Perl 6, Scala REALLY makes me appreciate Lisp (should I ever get to use it again outside of 80s college work). Every function has a plain old name, no magic symbol operators, inner parens evaluate first. No bullshit.

Depends on if your using a LISP processor or x86. And a LISP processor is basically eval on a few primitives. Really low-level and simple.
It depends (d'oh) on how much charge you need to fill in and how much you pay for electricity (at time of charging). In my case I carge at work, so $0. Literally.
However, my daily commute is about 50 mi. My avg. W/mi is 340, so 17 kWh @ $0.13/ kWh (PG&E, EV-rate), so $2.21 but increase by ? 10% for various efficiency losses.

I'll get solar (PV) eventually though.
Obesity a bigger problem than world hunger, Lancet study says
The last time I looked at a reasonably loaded Honda Odyssey it was over $40k. $35k is not really a high end price point any longer. Also for those who care about such things, $35k buys you more social status with a Tesla than with one of those other ICE cars.
A Primer on Bézier Curves (2011)
Elon Musk has been working to build not only the best electric vehicle, but the best vehicle in the world. The Tesla Model S was that vehicle in many ways, though it came at a high price point. Musk's first goal was to build this luxury Model S in order to build up a reputation, research EV technology, perfect the production line, acquire funding and gain a loyal following. However, this was just a preliminary step necessary to achieve his primary goal of bringing a mass-market electric vehicle into the world. This is where the Model 3 comes into play. It is an affordable, EV car built by Tesla for the general public. Elon and many people hope that bringing a mass-market, performance EV to the world will enact a shift away from combustion engine cars and therefore help dampen the damage humans are causing to the environment.

As if to suggest people wouldn't be willing to wait a year to get the 3 instead of the Bolt. Do you really think these two products have equivalent level of appeal?

I'm sorry, I may be missing something re: specs, but can you point to where it says that the Bolt will go 0-60 in <6s?

Also, does the Bolt have a nationwide supercharging network? Does it have autopilot? Does it have an astounding, unparalleled safety rating?
Exactly, I can pay attentions to what Elon Musk is saying. Wheres others usually try to sugarcoat it. Says the same thing over and over again, and it gets really frustrating.

But Elon Musk jumps right to the point, and doesn't beat around the bush.
"with 0-60 in 6secs"

This part confuses me.

The very fast 0-60 times that you see in electric cars are a function not of their massive engines or super tuned turbos, but of their instantaneous torque (as they are electric).

Given that this is an electric car, and that its size and weight are commensurable to the (presumably) smaller electric motor, I would expect it to have similar 0-60 times.

I just assumed that whenever this car was released it would have <4 second times ... why wouldn't it ?
60 kWh was phased out long ago. Minimal is 70 kWh now with 90 kWh being the high end.
Yep, the design is called a K-tail. I've really started getting used to it and don't mind it at all any more.

8Yet? – Find lunch buddies instantly. (completely redesigned)
True. Some design elements still seem strange to me, but perhaps it was optimized for efficiency?. There is no front grille for instance. While there is no need for one on an electric car, the Tesla still has an indent for one.
It's exciting to see the model 3 take more hatchback proportions. I hope it brings the hatch functionality to a more mainstream US audience. It also solidifies the global nature of Tesla. Hatchbacks and wagons are commonplace in Europe – oftentimes preferred over an SUV or sedan.

There's other ways. Let people put their money where their mouth is. If AGW is a real problem, then we ought to see certain insurance become expensive or coastal land value decreasing.

So why not publish positive canaries with an explicit expiry date that requires manual republishing? If you set in place a scheme, long before any agency contacts you, whereby you manually publish a statement saying you have not received an NSL, and that statement disappears on its own, how could they prosecute you for failing to publish that statement?

Better yet, make each canary in the form of an original haiku.

He said autopilot safety features will be standard, which means the convenience features (lane keeping, automatic parking, etc.) will cost extra. Just like the S and X.
You could remove the SIM card I suppose. On some cars this is super easy (it just pops right out of the dash), on the Model S unfortunately its a lot harder to access (but still doable). And while most cars seem designed to do just fine when you pop out the SIM, nothing prevents Tesla from making the car inoperable without the SIM (I have no idea what the current behavior is, just speculating).
If you subsidize people buying gas with taxes from buying gas, isn't that a net equilibrium, and people (if perfectly rational) should buy the same amount of gas (since it costs the same in the end)? I understand that some people would buy less because there's an aversion to spending more, or people that just can't afford it in the moment, but I'm not sure it makes sense, economically, as you've explained it.

I'm with you. I don't want a relationship with company.

Conventional modern vechicles might not track your movements, but they keep you tied to the mothership/dealership after purchase.

These conventional modern vechicles are complicated. They are loaded with propriatiatry features, unbelievably complicated emmission devices, and computers I can't access--even if I spend 5 grand on the right scanner. (If they will sell to an owner?)

That vechicle in the movie Vacation comes to mind. These modern vechicles, not Elan's, are just a time bomb waiting to break down. Good luck finding an independent shop that knows how to efficiently repair these modern masterpieces. Most people are going to have a relationship with a dealership, at dealership prices.

I just got smogged a '87 Toyota yesterday. What I spent on parts/my labor was rediculious. Yea--it passed, but it's rediculious how stringent CARB has gotten. My little car is not a threat to the enviornment. Plus, how much carbon did I spare the enviornment by not buying a new vechicle every few years?

This rant is Not about Tesla. I understand why they need access to most of the vechicle's electronics.

It's about these conventional vechicles you people are buying. I want a vechicle that I can keep for a long time.

If things don't change, I forsee throwaway vechicles.
Essentially a bunch of bricks.

Maybe that's what they want. "Oh they will just by the newer version? They loved the voice assisted gps?

I'm driving around my old vechicle that's running a stoichiometric number of 14.7:1. Meaning it's running well. I'm throwing out 20 ppm's of HC. 02 was .1 percent. My CO was .04 at idle. My N0 was 0 due to a $300 catalytic converter.

In California, my little 4 banger is a horrid high emitter?

Good luck smogging these newer vechicles when that warranty runs out. Good luck repairing these overly modernized vechicles. They will break down.
To be fair, acceleration speed is most important, and zero-to-sixty in 6 seconds is competitive against $30k cars. (The fastest cars in this price range... like Ford Focus RS... is zero-to-sixty in 4.7 seconds. $35,900 for the RS.)

Everyone appreciates a speedy acceleration, when merging into highways or getting out of the way. Its far more important to be quick on acceleration than to have a top-speed.
'Unfairness' is an incorrect term and brings to mind whining.

It is inefficient.

It is sub-optimal, for the progress of humanity, that good, motivated developers have to spend most of their time (or frankly, any time) on capitalist nonsense.

What you suggest is technically possible by installing our Boost software on any GPU machine, and then accessing that machine from any clients running our Boost software as well. That client does not need to have a GPU. This configuration is supported in AWS today, where for example you can connect one or more t2.large isntance to a g2.8xlarge. All that would have to be done is some metering on the GPU machine to implement the service you suggest :)

We are not limiting our software to AWS so you can built this kind of service on any kind of cluster by installing our software directly from https://boost.bitfusion.io - I say cluster, because we have played with the idea of thin devices accessing remote GPU instances in the cloud, but over public networks the network performance was a limiting factor.

It's not Apple's terms of use. It's how iOS binaries are created. On iOS all the libs must be statically linked. This means the LGPL code becomes the integral part of the app so all of the app must be released under LGPL. If you are fine with this you can have LGPL code in your app. This is one of the reasons if you want to use QT for iOS development you need to purchase commercial version.

That depends on your audience. There's a far more people that know mathematical summation than know how to program. Allowing a language to easily make good use of preexisting knowledge seems like a good selling point to me. Making it optional, as in provided through a module seems a sane way to gate it as well.
Seats five is interesting... but I'm not quite seeing the perspective. Its hard to tell the size difference.

From my eyes, it looks like its roughly the size of a Scion, maybe only a little bit larger than a Honda Fit. Which seats 5... technically... but its not too comfortable. Its more of a 4-seater with a 5th seat that may be used if you care about it.

The tax credit is fixed, not based on how much gas you buy. The average person pays $2000 in tax (but the oil now costs $1000 less pre-tax) and then gets a $2000 tax credit. If you burn less oil than average you still get the $2000 credit but pay only $800 in tax, so switching to oil alternatives puts that much more money in your pocket.
Yeah, the interior looks rather unfinished...it would be unsurprising to me if the production dashboard had a different layout. On the other hand, minimizing the number of parts that need to be made twice for a left- vs right-side driver would presumably keep costs down.

I lived in Dubai for a year, and number plates were how the "rich" differentiated from the rich. Walking around the Marina, seeing supercars isn't anything special. A Porsche in Dubai is like a Toyota anywhere else.

Standard number plates have 5 digits, but you can get a 4 digit one starting from $10,000 and it goes up from there. A 2 digit plate will sell for a few a million, and 1 digit is reserved for those with plenty of cash and wasta.

Of course the girls are just as vain:

I didn't have to watch my fingers or pay attention at all to type like I do with touchscreen querty keyboards. I've toyed with the idea of building something like that but it would likely be too bulky without professional tooling that requires $EXPENSIVE_PRODUCION_RUN

I go back and forth on that. I like both Perl 5 and Common Lisp, and am investigating Perl 6 now. Perl has more operator magic, but it also makes many things a lot less tedious to write, and for common tasks I quickly figure out a nice way of doing things. Common Lisp is more uniform but somewhat clunky and verbose for a lot of common things. And when it's not, it's because you created a nice little DSL using macros (maybe even read macros), which then starts looking more like Perl-style magic (except done with metaprogramming, not built in).

As far as heritage, I think Perl's love of magic and concise operators is influenced more by the awk/sed/sh trio that it originally borrowed a lot of its syntax from, rather than by C++.
Is there something like Simple for non-US residents, living in US?
It's my understanding from my reading of pop-science books (specifically, Nick Lanes) that mitochondria can be selected for within your own body.

As you age, mutations naturally produce slightly broken mitochondria who do a slightly worse job at making energy. However, if you are exercising vigorously, those poorly functioning mitochondria will die off (apoptosis) and you will maintain a (relatively) "fitter" population of mitochondria inside your muscles, as those are the ones that are left to reproduce.

If you don't ever exercise, you'll probably feel fine (all else being equal) but secretly, you're cultivating a weak population of mitochondria within your own muscle cells. At some point the weakness of that population will become apparent.

Which brings up the question of whether it's not already time existing cars (starting at the performance end, and then trickling down to consumer market), should not already be replacing:

(Int. Combustion Engine)---[variable rotational speed/torque]--->drivetrain

with:

ICE---[constant rot. speed & constant torque]-->dynamo--->battery-->fully electric motor(s) drive train.

That would give most of the performance benefits/efficiency of electric motors, with the range of ICE-based vehicles. Since operating at essentially constant torque / speed, the ICE could then itself be made more compact and simplified to reduce the vehicle's weight.

I'm sure the above is already being done or worked on, and maybe someone could point to examples of it.
Maybe I was just slow in the uptake, but it took until the end of the book for me to realize the interactions between and lives of the minds were the whole point of the story, not so much the main plot line.
