Leaving and never coming back (commonly LANCB) is an internet euphemism whereby a frustrated participant in a forum, or blog, or whatever, takes away their ball and refuses to play. Sometimes this occurs after grandly declaring "victory," but more often when they are simply unable to get their own way. Often times, the LANCBer cannot get his or her way because the forum is riddled with sycophants who gang up on them, even though the LANCBer is clearly correct.
It is usually publicly announced, done with great fanfare, and followed by a quiet return within a week or even within a few minutes. A statement of LANCB virtually guarantees a return, thus destroying any ultimata or idealism involved in their "leaving."
A particularly grandiose LANCB is often referred to as a flounce. The word can also be a verb, as in "user Tyranny_of_Evil_Women flounced out of the forum, but he was back three days later posting as AgentLemon." If accompanied by a particularly emotional farewell speech, this is also known as a grand staircase exit. A particularly acrimonious LANCB is called a ragequit.
It is a common affliction with internet users who are in urgent need of the wahmbulance.
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/RationalWiki:Leaving_and_never_coming_back Your LANCB was predictably followed by a return within days .
Such behavior is just a cry for attention from poor lonely trolls who are not getting the notice they crave.
You have made an arse of your self....I am sure you will feel free to continue doing so.
Neil's point was well made
Billions of data points give Tesla an advantage no one is going to duplicate for decades. This data advantage is not just for self drive it includes all facets of electric car engineering.
Your point not so.
Have a look at the deprecation of models that compete with the model s.
The reason such cars crash in price is as they age they become unreliable and are extremely expensive to fix .
A small issue with overloaded memory on one board is nothing when you look at the multiple problems with BMW 7 series or Merc S once they get old.
I have seen older road legal running BMW 7xx's and merc S's go at auction for less than the value of their wheels and tires here in NZ because of the issues with reliability they are known to have.
As my mechanic says the purchase price of older premium sedans is just the deposit.
A google search will find plenty of data illustrating this fact .
This web site will soon give you an idea of the deprecation and costs of running large premium sedans
https://usedfirst.com/ Note they don't allow for the effect of the tax rebate on purchase price of Tesla making the result skewed . Even then Tesla still come out far ahead in retained value and cost of repairs.
