This is one of the big problem I have with taxes:
You can pay, endlessly, which is money you've earned with your hard and talented work, and you think , that maybe, just maybe , those bureaucrats who, themselves have never done anything productive ever in their lives, and who then, afterwards waste so much of your tax money : you can think that they may want to send you a THANK YOU note!
NO : no matter how much you pay , according to them , you're a horrible person because you don't pay enough!
Here is every difference in the new $59,990 dual-motor AWD Cybertruck trim vs the $79,990 Premium AWD trim:
• 7,500 lb towing capacity (11k lbs on Premium trim)
• 2,006 lbs payload (down from 2,500 lbs)
• Coil spring suspension with adaptive damping (vs air suspension)
• 18" wheels (instead of 20")
• Textile seats (vs premium interior)
• Heated front seats only (no ventilation)
• 7-speaker sound system (instead of 15-speaker premium system)
• No 9.4" second-row display
• No two 120V cabin power outlets
• Bed with motorized tonneau cover (instead of the Vault bed)
• Standard bed and tail lamps instead of premium lighting
• No L-track cargo rails
You’re saving $20,000 with this new trim and really not giving up all that much. It has the same range, 0-60 time, rear-wheel steering, max charging speed, bed outlets, powershare, FSD capability, etc, as the Premium trim.
I think Tesla learned from the RWD Cybertruck trim they discontinued last year and, with this new trim, kept everything people truly wanted while lowering the price a further $10,000 compared to that RWD trim. I think this new $59,990 trim could meaningfully increase Cybertruck sales volume.
Do you know why @PattyMurray hates trying to address the root of healthcare affordability?
Easy. She’s bought and paid for.
The only industry that doesn’t own her is Big Toothpaste.
Listening to German Chancellor Merz is just bizarre. The Europeans live in a bizarre fantasy world.
1) He thinks German censorship of anything they disagree with is actually "free speech". They use phrases like "human dignity", but it really just means anything they disagree with.
2) They really seem to think Russia is about to invade all of Europe, which is ridiculous. Russia can barely handle Ukraine.
3) Zero mention of the Muslim invasion at a "security conference" about threats to Europe. The Muslim invasion conquering Europe should be the top item on the agenda.
4) Merz seems to think Germany will have the most powerful army in Europe. German young men won't even fight to defend their own country. Merz has a disapproval polling at 78% in his own country.
