You sure do get more for your money now... looks at ram upgrade amounts... funny, they really similar to how much Apple charges for a bigger SSD now, though the storage space offered is bigger:
Still a rip off. Apple's walled garden sure is profitable... for them.

Saw this earlier and thought... that car looks like its made of really thin plastic
And fake as hell.
Later I found more proof
Its not a car, its a drone in the shape of a car. The entire shell is empty apart from 4 rotors.
It has no motor inside. All it can do is fly, and it has no cockpit as its never intended to be a real car...
its just a scam intended to get people to pay $1500 as a pre order for a car priced at 300k that will never be legal.
So far 3000 people have fallen for it.
Its being promoted on TV channels to attract the gullible.
Captive audience on TV, if they believe the news still, they will believe anything.
