There are other services such as Zip Car and Car2Go that work very well for running errands. I live downtown Denver and sold my car nearly a year ago, haven't looked back since. There are times I rely on friends to go to the mountains and such, but for the most part I'm just fine without a car.
My father made the hop from iPhones to the Galaxy S5 recently. He couldn't love the phone more, but also had this same iMessage debacle. It just made him dislike Apple even more, they were awful at resolving the problem, and just left a sour taste in his mouth.
My guess is because you can't even BUY a Tesla in Texas. Why would they set up a $5B factory in a state where they can't even sell a car? http://www.teslamotors.com/advocacy_texas
EDIT: Amongst other reasons of course, just a guess on one factor. Hard to say it's business friendly when they've banned the company from doing business there.
I used it for a few weeks until I had a good sense of my average daily activity. After that I turned it off due to the battery drain as well. It wasn't a horrendous drag on battery life, but enough that it wasn't worth using when daily stats didn't change much.
Great write-up. From a user perspective, grid feeds like Flipboard look great, but I find them a bit less friendly. I'll lose my spot, have a hard time finding the other article I wanted to read, and am generally just a bit more frustrated. I always go back to linear feeds in the end.
Personally, it's always been about trying to separate my frustrations with the company I'm working for, and frustrations with work. No matter what job you have, it's still a job and there will be things that you are unhappy about. The thing you need to figure out is whether those frustrations would be resolved by switching companies, or if they are frustrations that come no matter where you work. Sometimes the grass is damn green on the other side, but when you move over the same problems follow you.
