100k? For more than half those cars? Bro just get an EV from Hyundai or literally anyone fucking else lmaooo.
Tesla is the Apple of EVs. The quality is the same but you pay extra for the logo.
Honestly, Tesla’s quality is far less than most vehicles.
Apple has a lot of fair criticisms leveled against it, but their products are at least built as well as their competition. Unless I’m woefully out of the loop. That’s also possible.I can’t speak for Apple quality. But they aren’t environmentally friendly. Batteries can’t be swapped out in newer laptops, and they tend to try and force their customers to always be upgrading. Their updates that intentionally slowed older devices for example.
I’ve had my current iPhone for 4 years, not bought a single replacement cord or anything for it. Apple hasn’t done anything on my device to make me want to upgrade, I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
Of my buddies with comparably priced android devices I think they’ve all gone through 2 or 3 phones in that time frame. Multiple Pixel devices.
The updates that “slowed” the older devices was for battery performance and was made toggleable. Android devices do similar things.
The iPhone XR, from 2018, still receives iOS updates and older phones still get security updates.
My son is using my iPhone 11 Pro, from 2019. The batter is still fine and I can get it easily replaced if I need to. The phone works, gets updates and nothing is pushing him to upgrade.
You’re not actually right with your criticism here, you’re just biased.

They were literally fined for this. If you had taken a fraction of the time to search that you did writing the response, you’d have found it.
Beyond that, instead of slowing the phone down, they could just make the battery replaceable. And yes, android phones have largely moved away from replaceable batteries as well, but that doesn’t change anything.
and had you read what you linked you’d see how the statement I made isn’t wrong.
It was done for a legitimate reason, not communicated to customers and that’s what the fine was for.
You assert it was for “upgrade” reasons
It was found it was for the reasons I said, they paid a fine and made it more apparent.
Android does the same thing.
You just want to hate one side, which is fine. You can be a tech tribalist all you want.
Just try to be accurate.
No laptop is environmentally friendly. Old statistics, but last time I checked, the carbon footprint for a laptop has basically a train car full of coal. I think Apple was a pretty early adopter of RoHS though. As for updates that slow down the device… Their main competitor is guilty of this too. In October, basically every windows device made before 2016 is going to need to be replaced, disconnected from the internet, or upgraded to Linux.
I’m talking replacing parts and not entire laptops. Which there are plenty that allow this. Macs no longer do.
Sure, but keep this in mind… The logistics for a single part give it a larger carbon footprint than that same part when it is shipped as part of a whole product. I’m not sure where the break-even point is, but repairing the laptop will eventually exceed the carbon footprint of a new machine, before the machine is completely replaced. Generally, it’s better to build for longevity than repairability. I can’t say at that Apple hardware is built to last longer, but that is certainly a claim I’ve seen other people make based on their experience.
Even Rivian is a better option if you still want “luxury”. Priced slightly lower and the quality is much better.
I don’t think Rivian is generally known for quality / reliability: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/rivian/
Yeah but beating Tesla is an extremely low bar.
Mental
This is one of the only ways to make used car sales people look ok, WTG trump you are failure of such a degree that you made the people that everyone hated sleep just a bit better tonight.
I’d be surprised if he didn’t. xD

It’s an image.

Because motioning broadly with your large-font speech notes is a really bad idea when in front of an unfriendly press pool :)
It does look weirdly ai though. I’m not saying it’s fake, because frankly, I don’t think there’s an ai yet that can create that much sensible text, and the details on his hand and arm are true to life (based on that thumbnail, he should probably take a multivitamin).
Anyone know what’s so off-looking about the handwriting though? I figure it’s a weird angle and that’s why the text fades towards the right side of the page, but it’s a very strange picture all around. Maybe things just get funky when you take pictures at that level of zoom.
It’s light exposure. The right side of the page is overexposed because it’s getting hit with (and reflecting, because it’s white) the majority of the direct light in the environment in which the photo was taken.
it looks like they adjusted the light levels so the hand written note is easier to read
doing so made the right side fade because of glare?
Man needs to moisturize.
That yellowed thumbnail.
From WebMD - “Yellow Nails: One of the most common causes of yellow nails is a fungal infection. As the infection worsens, the nail bed may retract, and nails may thicken and crumble. In rare cases, yellow nails can indicate a more serious condition such as severe thyroid disease, lung disease, diabetes or psoriasis.”
diabetes would make sense, and if he developed that in recent years… maybe he isn’t talking it seriously and we get to see him really fall apart
Uncontrolled diabetes (presumably type 2) might also at least partially explain his rapid cognitive decline. It’s systemic so it hits you everywhere.
He could sell his various parts as they fall off. What’s a trump toe worth you think?
Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with nail polish.
Fuckin’ amateurs.
If anyone hasn’t noticed, his job now is to sign things and shill for whoever pays him the most at the moment. He doesn’t need votes anymore because he’s either unable to run again or will simply refuse to leave or have a hamburger speed things up. He doesn’t care… He just says anything to anyone for his sponsors.
You think he would not get votes again? Mate, many of the people he fires are STILL supporting him.
It’s called a death cult
It’s called religion. The cognitive dissonance to ignore reality and evidence; to just “have faith”.
I didn’t say he wouldn’t get votes, he doesn’t need elections anymore to keep his ass in the chair. It’s done, he is in his 2nd term. Americans aren’t of any concern to him as long as a line of millionaires and billionaires keep kissing his ring. Nothing he passes will be for anyone, just against stuff his donors don’t agree with.
But what about his 3rd term? He’s going to need to put the work in to make that happen. Not in gathering many votes granted, but to ensure the election falls in his favour when the time comes.
Thankfully for him, as you say, he has a close symbiotic partnership with the rich, and they along with the government staff he is putting into position (and purging those who aren’t loyal to him) are the ones who control the voting process. So, with a little hard work, mostly done by other people, he’ll win the next election.
There will not be an election for his 3rd term. If he’s still alive, he will stay without an election and no one will get rid of him.
If JD becomes president, he also will NOT go anywhere at the end of the term. If you think this isn’t true… just wait.
Trump is such a whore, he’ll do anything for a dollar
Make some more witty comeback comments on X instead of going out onto the streets. That will surely show them and puts an end to this.
do you, uh, see any irony about what you wrote there at all?
Think of the upvotes tho!
I feel like they didn’t need a /s…
Nobody TOLD Orange Garbage man this isn’t a Business but it’s the government he is destroying duh
You mean like when he shilled Goya foods from the Resolute desk last time?
Anyone got one of them nitrogen based end it all capsules? I think im done with this shit. 😆
How do you get him inside though?
Put a $100 bill inside and when he goes to snatch it close the door. Dude is a whore.
They are just rubbing our noses in the corruption now. Problem is, Republicans like it, the like the smell of it, they like trumps hand on their neck as he smears the corruption across their faces. “Yes daddy trump, pwease wub more of uncle ewons shit on our faces”
Dude, were so fucked, the wh press sec talks to journalists like a mad dominatrix. We used to run the world, now the world wants our head, personally I say we it to em
So now he’s turning his back on the oil and gas industry, also the gas/diesel vehicle industry so that he can shill for crybaby Musk. You have to laugh to keep from crying at all the insanity going on in Washington right now
Well when the president asks you to do a car commercial for him do you turn him down? He might find someone else to scowl behind a desk.
