Maybe TSLA is really only worth $60 a share. Ford Motor Company is currently about $13, The (no surprise) news that they lost money on every EV they made plus their seeming inability to produce cars without frequent, massive and costly recalls sure doesn't help. The recent recall of something...

I live in a small unincorporated city. The closest sheriff's substation is about 20 miles away so unless there just happens to be a deputy on patrol nearby, a call to 911 may take 30 minutes for a response. Luckily there is a fire station only a mile away so I don't have that to worry about...

Elon, Tesla and the Board of Directors will build whatever product that in their best judgement will sell. If they have decided that it is better to use their resources to build Robotaxis instead of the rumored Model 2, that's what they will do. If they have to layoff large numbers of personnel...

I haven't done any 10 year statistic gathering but the most expensive car to maintain that I have owned was a 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe that I purchased new. I kept track of the expenditures and the out of pocket costs were about $1000 per year for the 5 years I owned it. Way too much and I doubt...

A win for the unions. A loss for the consumers. But I guess the unions figure if fast food workers deserve $20 an hour in California they need to make some inflated wages and benefits commensurate with what they do for a living too.

Saying "recalls are common" is just excuse mongering and acknowledging that automakers with more than 100 years experience have produced hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the last few years with very, very serious defects. Like engine fires or steering wheels falling off. Ford is probably the...

Or TSLA may remain moribund at around $150 per share. Until of course there is another gas crisis which could occur any time and until their other business divisions besides EV's start to generate revenue at enormous profit margins. Which I wouldn't count out even though they may be on Elon...

As expected, the reactionary responses by the usual suspects didn't take long to be posted. It's a temporary blip. We've seen these kinds of things before. Maybe it's a good time to buy so when TSLA hits $400 you can be smug like me. Counting out Elon and Tesla may be the fashionable thing to...

Hillbilly Deluxe, when I said "you" can't count the other expenses beyond tuition I was referring to the collective "you" for discussion sake. But since "you" can and do count everything to come up with the approximate $130k that it cost for your daughter to get the degree, I still have to ask...

Another fan of the CZ75 pistols here. Buy an all steel or at least alloy framed double action hammer fired pistol and forget anything made of polymer, striker fired and with a safety lever on the trigger. Life is too short to own an ugly gun made in a mold. You don't need a rail for a light or...

I get the point that you are trying to make but you can't really include the cost of housing, utilities, meals, car and and health insurance, fuel and other expenses in the cost of tuition. Yes they were costs incurred by you, your wife and daughter but they would have been costs incurred...

I have a CTEK MXS 5.0 hooked up almost continuously to my Jaguar for the last 3 years. It has an AGM battery and those cars are notorious for doing odd things when the battery is not at full charge or starts to degrade over time. The car is not a daily driver so keeping the electrical system in...

The intention of the CA Government was not to put fast food places out of business. It was simply another method to buy votes. The demographics of fast food workers are those that are being pandered to by politicians in the most ways possible. There are now reports coming out that the bill to...

Prior to retirement when I was driving 10-12k miles per year, I used to do 5k OCI's on my Nissan 370Z using Redline oil but only changed the filter every other time. However, that was using a Mobil 1 #110 filter which is slightly oversize, or using the equivalent Fram Ultra filter. Those are...

If you drive the average econobox and change the oil and filter every 5000 miles then yes "oil is oil" with the qualifier that it is a full synthetic from one of the major oil companies. However those of us that own high performance vehicles know otherwise. For example I have a Jaguar F Type R...

We are only 5 days into the new $20 per hour wage guarantee for fast food workers here in California. We are already seeing layoffs and closures of some restaurants. There are reports or surveys showing the average cost of a "combo meal" like a burger, fries and soft drink being up an average of...

Or it could be the 25K car will be 30K, or , or, or. Lots of possibilities and opportunity to misquote or twist. Or maybe Elon was moaning about not being able to make money on it, who knows. Kind of hard to tell with Elon, he does get it wrong a bunch. PandaBear nailed it. But those with EDS...

To clarify my comment on gas prices in my area: I live in a mountain community of around 4000 people. It is not necessarily a wealthy community like many of those along the California coast. There are 4 gas stations in town. Two majors and two independents. One of the independents only sells 87...

If the buttons on the Tesla wheel are symetrical, won't you have to remember that to signal a right turn if you already have turned the wheel 180 degrees that you have to push the button on the left side ? If that is the case, the design is brainless. On both my Mazda and Jaguar there are...

91 Octane gas is now up to $6.00 a gallon in my mountain town. And the Shell station which used to be $0.10 per gallon less than the Mobil station has now colluded with them and raised their prices to be the same across all three grades. Recent events in Damascas Syria once again have people...
