Yea. The article didn’t mention that the car has over 97,000 miles on it. The battery + electric drive train warranty ends at 100,000 miles, and the ICCU units in those cars are a ticking time bomb. I don’t think that I would pay the $14,000 asking price.
Not to say that the article is wrong about EV depreciation, but the example given isn’t great.
Also, the tariffs don’t apply to items packed on boats by midnight eastern time. Those products have until May 27 to arrive in the US and not be taxed.
So, it’s possible Apple flew a bunch of phones over and stuffed a bunch of boats full of iPhones. Granted, they’d need a place to store them and distribute them.
New Eeros!
If you’ve been looking for adding WiFi 7 to your wireless network, but didn’t want to pay for the Eero Max 7, then there is some good news. Eero announced two new systems: Eero 7 Pro - WiFi 7, 3x3 antennas and 5Gbps Ethernet ports. $300/each Eero 7 — WiFi 7, 2x2 antennas and 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports. $170/each. https://press.aboutamazon.com/2025/2/eero-celebrates-a-decade-of-innovation-with-all-new-wi-fi-7-products [https://press.aboutamazon.com/2025/2/eero-celebrates-a-decade-of-innovation-with-all-new-wi-fi-7-products] I’m still rocking the WiFi 5 “pros”. I’m tempted to upgrade, but I might be too cheap to pull the trigger right now. 🙂
The internet (ie bandwidth) is cheap, but running servers, providing documentation and tech support all costs a decent amount of money.
However, treating an API as a profit center is a joke. These are literally companies developing software that makes the experience of owning a Tesla better. Making things unaffordable for those companies is putting short term profits over long term success of your product
