  • It’s always interesting how these things are worded. Rather than say there’s X amount of them now active and information about it, it’s compared to a company that has little reason to invest in a market that most of the US doesn’t care about.

    The city I live in has 400,000 people, so not like a huge city but not BFE. We have zero taxis automated, and no “human” taxis driving around. We have Uber and such still. Point being, there’s only like a dozen US cities that actually use taxis regularly and this might be realistically viable. Tesla just doesn’t care in general, the hyper loop failed massively already for them.

  • I’m more an outlier, but I have stage 5 kidney failure (at 42) and I’m on dialysis. It’s roughly $750,000 a year +meds so closer to 800k. I’ve paid about $200 over a year and a half. With Medicare, Medicare, and my work insurance.

    The bills are absolutely absurd, but they’re all paid. That being said, they should be nowhere near that high, and just because I’m not racking up bills doesn’t mean it’s ok. But I am glad everything is covered for me at least with the current shit health insurance system.
