You can rip all of your CDs and put them on your phone and stream them through bluetooth if you're really attached to the music you "own".

I'm looking for a Sony Walkman videotape player!

Only old people drive Lexus.

Fun Fact: Musk has sold more stock than the profit that Tesla has ever made. Tesla lifetime profit $39 Billion Musk's stock sales $41 Billion

I think most (if not all) of the safety benefit of driver automation is due to the features available in "AP" type systems... Lane keeping, Speed control, Emergency braking. These prevent the causes of most accidents. FSD just adds navigation to the basic AP functions and adds a lot of...

EV sales are up everywhere. (Except Tesla is down 11%)

My utility (Liberty) in California offered a free ChargePoint charger and paid for the installation. Worth checking out.
